nfs, ftp, http, httpproxy, etc.) and f_device_get() (abstract method for
calling aforementioned f_media_get_TYPE()).
Previously, if $probe_only was present and non-NULL, the TYPE functions
would check for $file and exit with an appropriate error status (success if
the file exists and readable, failure otherwise).
While this has been retained, a pair of globals has been introduced:
$PROBE_EXIST and $PROBE_SIZE (see `/usr/share/bsdconfig/media/common.subr')
The $PROBE_EXIST global can be used where you need the functionality of
simply testing for existence (previously the _only_ functionality).
Meanwhile, the new $PROBE_SIZE global can be used to cause the TYPE function
to print the size of the file (in bytes) on standard-out (or -1) if not
found or an error occurs. NOTE: If an error occurs, it is logged with the
dprintf function, which is visible with `-d' flag or debug=1.
In many cases, where you need to get the size of a file _and_ check for its
existence, you can use the return status of a $PROBE_SIZE call.
them changed (or was removed from the tree) then portsnap would delete
that file. This happened earlier today when one of two empty port
directories was removed. Uniquifying the lists of needed files fixes
this.

an executable by-name without forking or using externals.
In a performance benchmark of 10,000 runs on circa 2006 hardware, f_which
out-performed `which' with an average completion time of ~2.5 seconds versus
~56 seconds.
This should be handy for future use (not that I make it a habit to call
`which' in a loop 10,000 times).
if it exists to determine if use_shadow is true (ON) or false (OFF).
The purpose of determining the value of use_shadow is to know how many lines
to subtract from the maximum height value in assuring that the backtitle is
not obscured.
The detriment of obscuring the backtitle is that it provides information
that is not easily obtained elsewhere. That is the command-line shortcut
used to access the current menu. As you navigate from one dialog to the
next, invariably transparently corssing module boundaries, the backtitle
represents the command-line argument used to get there. Obscuring this
information with a widget that is too-tall and/or too-wide would see that
data go unnoticed (leaving few other ways to get that information in the
same helpful context).
So despite the fact that this change reduces the standard maximum height for
all widgets, there is a trap-door to prevent this calculation. If you want
to utilize the full screen height on the terminal (remember, this adjustment
is not made for Xdialog(1)) you can set $NO_BACKTITLE to 1 (or any non-NULL
value for that matter) and this calculation will be skipped. You will be
able to draw a widget that partially obscures the backtitle if-necessary.

(packageReinstall) and UI access have been tested successfully with a
variation of different situations including:
+ Reinstall a package for which no other packages depend
+ Purposefully do thinks like reinstall a package that is not installed
+ Try to reinstall a package which other installed packages still depend
NOTE: There is no "force" used; if a package is required by other packages,
it will not be uninstalled (and therefore no reinstall is done).
(this is designed to allow new modules to be installed via ports/packages).
To prevent conflict with itself (sysutils/bsdconfig) as a port (which
installs its base modules to the above directory, it was long-ago decided
that so-called `base' modules would look different than now-defined `add-on'
modules. The structure of the contents for each is the same, but the naming
convention for the module directory must be different.
Base modules are named `[0-9][0-9][0-9].*' to allow SysV-style organization
while add-on modules must avoid this naming style and are simply listed in
alphabetical order by their module directory.
For example, a hypothetical port named `bsdconfig-jails' could install
/usr/local/libexec/bsdconfig/jails and provide `bsdconfig jails' as well as
a new menu entry in the main-menu.
Add-on modules are listed in the main-menu (when bsdconfig is executed with-
out arguments) below a separator after the last base-module.
In `bsdconfig -h' output, add-on modules are listed right alongside base
modules (sorted alphabetically in columnar fashion; left-to-right).
If a base module declares a keyword used by an add-on module, the base
module will always win when given `bsdconfig keyword' syntax.
Add-on modules should avoid declaring any keyword found in `script.subr' as
a reserved-word (`Resword') since bsdconfig also supports `bsdconfig resword'
as a fall-back if no keyword is found to be declared by any module.
Do not inherit $SYSRC_VERBOSE from operating environment. The concern is
that when a user (such as myself) which has SYSRC_VERBOSE=1 in his/her
~/.bash_profile or such that when they are told to execute a command like:
hostname `sysrc -n hostname`
NOTE: To activate a recently configured hostname.
If $SYSRC_VERBOSE is set, then POLA is violated because the output of sysrc
is indirectly influenced (making for an inconsistent experience).
