language text files.
Should finally close PR # bin/1925: file does not consider cyrillic
text..., though i've never got any response from the originator about
my suggestion.
While i was at it, also move out the `magic' file to /usr/share/misc,
there's nothing that magic with this file to justify its life under
/etc.
(1) MANLANG is now a list (defaulting to ""), so if you have English
and Japanese-EUC versions of the manpages, you can say something
like `MANLANG= "" ja_JP.EUC' and manpage compression will DTRT.
(2) Add new variables MAN%cPREFIX (where %c=[1-9LN]) which default to
MANPREFIX (which defaults to PREFIX), to specify per-section
prefixes. In particular, this handles the cases in many perl
ports, which install man1pages into man/man1 and man3pages into
lib/perl5/man/man3.
Note these modifications won't change the behavior of existing
variables used in previously-approved ways, so any Makefile that
worked before will still continue to work.
isofs while the df command itself used the name iso9660fs or
cdfs. Both of these were inconsistent with the name cd9660 which
is used by the mount command. I modified df to recognize all of
the names cd9660, cdfs, isofs, and iso9660fs, and take them all
to refer to the same thing. Naturally I added a note of this
behaviour in the manual page too.

1. Don't use the MSDOSFS code for accessing FreeBSD distribution data.
Use Robert Nordier's stand-alone DOS I/O library for the purpose.
It this works as well as Robert says it does, it should drastically reduce
(or even eliminate) our "I can't install from my DOS partition!" calls.
2. As a result of the above, go to stdio file descriptors for all
media types.
3. Taking advantage of #2, start using libftpio for FTP transfers instead
of maintaining our own parallel version of the FTP transfer code.
Yay! I ripped something out for a change!

makes MADV_SEQUENTIAL much more effective. I suggest that
we start using MADV_SEQUENTIAL on system utilities that mmap
their input files, and the I/O is predominantely sequential.
Below is a test with 'cmp' on two relatively large binary files,
where the files are so large that the caching is ineffective:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 65598384 Dec 10 12:14 t2.xxx

This change is as a result of an observation made by BDE.
has always held an open file descriptor. This allowed logging to
spare virtual consoles and being able to switch to them.
My previous change removed this since all writes were done with ttymsg()
which opens it's own fd, and hence syslogd didn't need it's own fd to
send messages on... but this caused an unexpected behavior change.
This should close PR#2176
in lots of unrelated junk from <net/if.h> and <net/if_ether.h>. These
functions still aren't prototyped anywhere (but should be in
<net/ethernet.h>---got that, Bill?).
do it themselves. (Some of these programs actually depended on this
beyond compiling the definition of struct ifinfo!) Also fix up some
other #include messes while we're at it.
Simplified average calculations. This also fixes potential overflow errors
and minor rounding inconsistencies (always round to nearest now).
Don't lose more SIGINFOs than necessary.
Print \r at the start of the status message. This clears the dots that
are sometimes left by ping -f.

2) Use the new SIOCSIFMTU ether_ioctl support in the few drivers that are
using ether_ioctl().

testing for FXP_NTXSEG being reached in fxp_start()...just check for
non-NULL 'm'. Change fxp_ioctl() to use ether_ioctl().
obvious effects are that most of the automagically chosen defaults
will now be displayed while going through the menu, and an improved
error handling thanks to the more detailed error status reporting.
2.2 fodder, but i'll leave it to Jordan's review.
