interface, and statically link them to the programs using them.
These functions, upon reflection and discussion, are too generically
named for a library interface with such specific functionality.
Also the api that they use, whilst ok for private use, isn't good
enough for a libc function.
Additionally there were complications with the build/install-world
process. It depends heavily upon xinstall, which got broken by
the change in api, and caused bootstrap problems and general mayhem.
There is work in progress to address future problems that may be
caused by changes in install-chain tools, and better names for
{g|s}etflags can be derived when some future program requires them.
For now the code has been left in src/lib/libc/gen (it started off
in src/bin/ls).
It's important to provide library functions for manipulating file
flag strings if we ever want this interface to be adopted outside
of the source tree, but now isn't necessarily the right moment
with 4.0-release just around the corner.

string to u_long and back using two functions, flags_to_string and
string_to_flags, which co-existed with 'ls'. As time has progressed
more and more other tools have used these private functions to
manipulate the file flags.
Recently I moved these functions from /usr/src/bin/ls to libutil,
but after some discussion with bde it's been decided that they
really ought to go in libc.
There are two already existing libc functions for manipulating file
modes: setmode and getmode. In keeping with these flags_to_string
has been renamed getflags and string_to_flags to setflags.

Turn off setgid-kmem for /bin/ps, it's now quite functional without it.
ps no longer needs /dev/*mem or /proc. (It will still use some /proc
files if they are available for -e, but it's not required, so it'll
happily run in a jail or chroot).
The proc stats are now part of eproc (obtained via sysctl) and no longer
needs to beat up the u-page reading code and the problems with that.
This also has the side effect of disabling 'ps -e' for normal users
*EXCEPT* when looking at their own processes. ie: they can see
environments in processes with their uid, enforced by the ownership of
/proc/*/mem. Root can still see them all, as it can open all /proc/*/mem.
This fixes some nasty procfs problems for SMP, makes ps(1) run much faster,
and makes ps(1) even less dependent on /proc which will aid chroot and
jails alike.

avoid stat()-ing entries that do not represent "real" disk mount
points (such as those made by an automounter such as amd.) It is
also useful not to have to stat() these entries because it takes
longer to report them that for other file systems, being that these
mount points are served by a user-level file server and resulting in
several context switches. Worse, if the automounter is down

clear whether using FTS_NOCHDIR ever fixed anything (Net/2's rm.c is

Support for negative offsets is gone again, but the case where you
lseek() onto byte -1 of something from a negative offset using seek/skip
is fixed; if you end up on -1, you won't get a false positive lseek failure.
The biggest changes are to data types (more size_t, for instance) and
argument parsing. skip/seek on /dev/{,k}mem now occurs (instead of "read
until you reach the offset") due to mem devices now being D_DISK. Some
const things are now correctly declared as such, and the "case table"
building is better. The only thing that seems to be left to make dd(1)
