+ Remove UNAME_P=$(...) from startup/misc -- already supplied by common.subr
+ Use f_getvar instead of $(eval echo \$$var) -- f_getvar is sub-shell free
+ Add `-e' and `-k var' options to f_eval_catch -- increasing use-cases
+ Use f_eval_catch to display errors on failure -- reducing duplicated code
+ Use f_eval_catch when we need output from a command -- improving debugging
+ Optimize f_isinter of strings.subr for performance -- now sub-shell free
+ Improve error checking on pidfiles -- using f_eval_catch and f_isinteger
+ Use $var_to_set arg of f_ifconfig_{inet,netmask} -- eliminate sub-shells
+ Use f_sprintf instead of $(printf ...) -- consolidate sub-shells
+ Use $var_to_set arg of f_route_get_default -- eliminate sub-shells
+ Add f_count to replace $(set -- ...;echo $#) -- eliminate sub-shells
+ Add f_count_ifs to replace $(IFS=x;set -- ...;echo $#) -- no sub-shells
+ Replace var="$var${var:+ }..." in loops with var="$var ..." with a follow-
up var="${var# }" to trim leading whitespace -- optimize loops
+ Use $var_to_set arg of f_resolv_conf_nameservers -- eliminate sub-shells
+ Comments for the f_eval_catch function
+ Remove a duplicate `local ... desc ...' in f_device_get_all of device.subr
+ Use $var_to_set arg of f_device_capacity -- eliminate sub-shells
+ Whitespace fixes in f_dialog_init of dialog.subr
+ Optimize f_inet_atoi of media/tcpip.subr for performance -- sub-shell free
+ In several cases, send stderr to /dev/null -- clean up runtime execution
+ Change f_err of common.subr to go to program stderr not terminal stderr,
allowing redirection of output from functions that use f_err
+ Disable debugging when using f_getvar to get variable argument to
f_startup_rcconf_map_expand of startup/rcconf.subr
+ Use f_replace_all instead of $(echo ... | tr | sed) -- performance
+ Add a $var_to_set option to f_index_{file,menusel_{command,keyword}} of
common.subr -- centralize sub-shells
calculating widget sizes. Instead of forking a sub-shell to calculate the
optimum size for a widget, use a byRef style call-out to set variables in
the parent namespace. For example, instead of:
size=$( f_dialog_buttonbox_size title btitle msg )
$DIALOG --title title --backtitle btitle --msgbox msg $size
The new API replaces the above with the following:
f_dialog_buttonbox_size height width title btitle msg
$DIALOG --title title --backtitle btitle --msgbox msg $height $width
This reduces the number of forks, improves performance, and makes the code
more readable by revealing the argument-order for widget sizing. It also
makes performing minor adjustments to the calculated values easier as
you no longer have to split-out the response (which required knowledge of
ordering so was counter-intuitive).
a bug in which certain combinations of arguments produced unexpected results
such as `-dX' (now properly produces debugging and X11), `-XS' (now properly
produces X11 in secure mode), `-df-' (enables debugging when reading a
script from standard-input, etc. Multi-word variations such as `-d -X',
`-X -S', `-d -f-', `-d -f -', etc. also work as expected. Also tested were
variations in argument order, which are now working as expected.
improve debugging initialization. Also fixup USAGE statements while we're
here. Also, change initialization of main program to _not_ change working
directory, allowing the debugFile to be relative without confusion.

If /usr/sbin/sysinstall is linked to another filename, say
`/usr/local/bin/configPackages', then the basename will be used
as an implicit command name.
To get a list of modules you can link to, see `bsdconfig -h' output.
