An empty database is a database which does not contain any filenames.
It should not occur in practice but maybe in the case of an error.
echo | /usr/libexec/locate.mklocatedb > empty.db; locate -d empty.db -S
For historical reasons, the integer is stored with an offset of plus 14.
That means, for a given max path length of 1024 the valid values
are -1009 .. 1037 and not -1023 .. 1023

- stop on first error
- improve awk script: print the last two characters for bigram - not the second word
- remove unnecessary checks
- use mktemp
- refactor
By default BSD sort(1) uses 90% (or at least 50%?) of the available
main memory. That is good for performance for a single job, but not
for a shared OS. For a long running script the performance is less
important than the stability of the server. Also, if a server
with 64GB RAM starts swapping, the performance goes south and
hurts other running applications.
Note: this change does not affect the weekly cron job to
rebuild the locate database. The FreeBSD locate.updatedb
use the -presort option (find -s)
This fixes an integer overflow for very large partitions around 35 billion
filenames (>2PB). However, in an artificially worst case it may occurs
by only 17 mio filenames on a partition.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Initially, only tag files that use BSD 4-Clause "Original" license.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Trivially capsicumize some simple programs that just interact with
stdio. This list of programs uses 'pledge("stdio")' in OpenBSD.

This is rather pedantic, as for most architectures it holds that
sizeof(type *) == sizeof(type **)

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

The problem is that ntohl() always returns an unsigned quantity. In
this case, it's expected to be cast back to a signed integer, but to
stop complaints about abs() we just store it into an integer, and don't
call ntohl() again.
