related patches. These include:
* Mode page editting can be scripted. This involves two
things: first, if stdin is not a tty, changes are read from
stdin rather than invoking $EDITOR. Second, and more
importantly, not all modepage entries must be included in the
change set. This means that camcontrol can now gracefully handle
more intrusive editting from the $EDITOR, including removal or
rearrangement of lines. It also means that you can do stuff
like:
# echo "WCE: 1" | camcontrol modepage da3 -m 8 -e
# newfs /dev/da3
# echo "WCE: 0" | camcontrol modepage da3 -m 8 -e
* Range-checking on user-supplied input values. modeedit.c now
uses the field width specifiers to determine the maximum
allowable value for a field. If the user enters a value larger
than the maximum, it clips the value to the max and warns the
user. This also involved patching cam_cmdparse.c to be more
consistent with regards to the "count" parameter to arg_put
(previously is was the length of strings and 1 for all integral
types). The cam_cdbparse(3) man page was also updated to reflect
the revised semantics.
* In the process, I removed the 64 entry limit on mode pages (not
that we were even close to hitting that limit). This was a nice
side-effect of the other changes.
* Technically, the new mode editting functionality allows editting
of character array entries in mode pages (type 'c' or 'z'),
however since buff_encode doesn't grok them it is currently
useless.
* Camcontrol gained two new options related to mode pages: -l and
-b. The former lists all available mode pages for a given
device. The latter forces mode page display in binary format
(the default when no mode page definition was found in
scsi_modes).
* Added support for mode page names to scsi_modes. Allows names to
be displayed alongside mode numbers in the mode page
listing. Updated scsi_modes to use the new functionality. This
also adds the semicolon into the scsi_modes syntax as an
optional mode page definition terminator. This is needed to name
pages without providing a page format definition.
* Updated scsi_all.h to include a structure describing mode page
headers.
* Added $FreeBSD$ line to scsi_modes.

Correct derivation of Eighth Edition Research UNIX. According to dmr,
it was derived from 4.1cBSD; according to the 4.4BSD book, it was
derived from 4.1BSD. Since dmr did the work, he's more likely to be
correct.
