- timeval in select loop was depending on not having the remaining time
returned from select(), causing a busy spin on an implementation that
does implement it.
- the err() usage was pretty bogus, some of the error messages had
strerror attached manually and then reattached by err().
2. Add a -l flag for symlinking to rather than copying file:/path style URLs.
3. Add a -T flag for setting the timeout interval (overrides FTP_TIMEOUT if set)
hline() to draw the window split rather than fudging it with dashes.
This causes the line to be drawn in line-draw characters if the terminal
description has them.

- use termios, not sgtty
- dont use _putchar(), that was a BSD-curses specific feature not in
other curses packages (such as ncurses)
- use sigaction, not sigvec while I'm there
- box() does different things under sysv/ncurses on 1-line high windows,
and BSD-curses doesn't have hline(), so do it by adding characters
instead. That works on both styles of curses.
Bigram does not remove newline at end of filename. This
break particulary the bigram algorithm and /var/db/locate.database
grow up 15 %.
Bigram does not check for characters outside 32-127.
The bigram output is silly and need ~1/2 CPU time of
database rebuilding.
old:
locate.bigram < $filelist | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this can easy made bigram
new:
bigram < $filelist | sort -nr
code
Code does not check for char 31.
Use a lookup array instead a function. 3 x faster.

rewritten
sync with bigram changes
read config file /etc/locate.rc if exists

concatdb - concatenate locate databases
mklocatedb - build locate database
installs something. This is not 100% right, since it has a false hit
when install -C snaps hard links.
Also, run strip(1) from the $PATH, otherwise you need a special version
of install to install (say) elf binaries which have a different strip.
With JDP's elfkit, the layout of the path determines which binary format
you are generating.
from a script as if it was done in the interactive editor.
When reassembling the gecos string, trim any excess trailing commas, they
look ugly in the passwd file. :-)
Have a simple Makefile tweak to prevent mortal users from changing their
fullname. As ISP's we have seem some real bizzare stuff here..
When decoding the change/expire string, allow the month number as a
synonym for the name of the month.. (ie: 1 as well as Jan or January)
Note that using numbers means there's a chance that you can get bitten
if you're not used to the American DD-MM-YY order.
