A number of tftp clients, including the one in Intel's pxe boot loader,
may intentionally stop a transfer using error code 0 (i.e., EUNDEF).
These are not real errors. Avoid spamming log files with these by
logging them at level LOG_DEBUG instead.
Discussed on -hackers with an initial patch proposal; this change is an
improved approach suggested by kan@.

- add -p pathsep option
- make wrap to zero work, but produce a warning
While here:
- fix gcc warnings, in particular variable clobbered warnings
(compiling with fewer warnings does not really fix the problem)
=========================================================================================
These wording changes clarify the default rollover behavior
as a "kludge". Also, the block numbers and octet counts for 65535 blocks
and 32767 blocks are more accurate than the existing documented numbers.

the block counter would rollover to 0 if a file larger
than 65535 blocks was transferred. With the default block size
of 512 octets per block, this is a file size of approximately 32 megabytes.
The new TFTP server code would report an error and stop transferring
the file if a file was larger than 65535 blocks.
This patch restores the old TFTP server's behavior to the new
TFTP server code. If a TFTP client transfers a file larger
than 65535 blocks, and does *not* specify the "rollover" option,
then automatically rollover the block counter to 0 every time
we reach 65535 blocks.
This restores interoperability with the FreeBSD 6 TFTP client.
Without this change, if a FreeBSD 6 TFTP client tried to
retrieve a file larger than 65535 blocks from a FreeBSD 9 TFTP server
, the transfer would fail.
The same file could be retrieved successfully if the same FreeBSD 6
TFTP client was used against a FreeBSD 6 TFTP server.

tftp implementation. The synchnet() function
was converted to a no-op when the new TFTP implementation
was committed to FreeBSD. However, this function, as it was
in the older code, is needed
in order to synchronize between the tftpd server and tftp clients,
which may be buggy.
Specifically, we had a buggy TFTP client which would send
TFTP ACK packets for non-TFTP packets, which would cause
the count of packets to get out of whack, causing transfers
to fail with the new TFTPD implementation.

just the case the -n option is intended to deal with and thus really spammed

lot better than what's in the tree now. Edwin tested it at a prior
employer, but can't test it today. I've found that it works a lot
better with the various uboot versions that I've used in my embedded
work. Here's the pkg-descr from the port that describes the changes:
It all started when we got some new routers, which told me the
following when trying to upload configuration or download images
from it: The TFTP server doesn't support the blocksize option.
My curiousity was triggered, it took me some reading of RFCs and
other documentation to find out what was possible and what could
be done. Was plain TFTP very simple in its handshake, TFTP with
options was kind of messy because of its backwards capability: The
first packet returned could either be an acknowledgement of options,
or the first data packet.
Going through the source code of src/libexec/tftpd and going through
the code of src/usr.bin/tftp showed that there was a lot of duplicate
code, and the addition of options would only increase the amount
of duplicate code. After all, both the client and the server can
act as a sender and receiver.
At the end, it ended up with a nearly complete rewrite of the tftp
client and server. It has been tested against the following TFTP
clients and servers:
- Itself (yay!)
- The standard FreeBSD tftp client and server
- The Fedora Core 6 tftp client and server
- Cisco router tftp client
- Extreme Networks tftp client
It supports the following RFCs:
RFC1350 - THE TFTP PROTOCOL (REVISION 2)
RFC2347 - TFTP Option Extension
RFC2348 - TFTP Blocksize Option
RFC2349 - TFTP Timeout Interval and Transfer Size Options
RFC3617 - Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Scheme and Applicability
Statement for the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
It supports the following unofficial TFTP Options as described at
http://www.compuphase.com/tftp.htm:
blksize2 - Block size restricted to powers of 2, excluding protocol headers
rollover - Block counter roll-over (roll back to zero or to one)
From the tftp program point of view the following things are changed:
- New commands: "blocksize", "blocksize2", "rollover" and "options"
- Development features: "debug" and "packetdrop"
If you try this tftp/tftpd implementation, please let me know if
it works (or doesn't work) and against which implementaion so I can
get a list of confirmed working systems.

Just like bin/ and sbin/, I think setting WARNS to the highest value
possible will make it more attractive for people to fix warnings.
- The WARNS variable is set in the Makefile in the directory of the
application itself, making it more likely that it will be removed out
of curiosity to see what happens.
- New applications will most likely build with WARNS=6 out of the box,
because the author would more likely fix the warnings during
development than lower WARNS.
Unfortunately almost all apps in libexec require a lowered value of
WARNS.

By default the strftime(3) format string is %Y%m%d (YYYYMMDD), but
this can be changed by the -F option.

- Correct some frivolous and poorly rendering language,

- Use the same capitalization for "user ID" as in setuid(2) and getuid(2).
- Bring SEE ALSO in accord with the text.

o Don't send an OACK when the result of the [RW]RQ is an error.
These changes allow tftpd to interact with pxelinux.bin from the syslinux
package.
Whilst the path reducing code doesn't properly handle situations where the
path component before the "/../" is a symlink to (say) ".", I would suggest
that it does the right thing in terms of the clients perception of what
their path string actually represents. This seems better than using
realpath() and breaking environments where symlinks point outside of the
directory hierarchy that tftpd is configured to allow.

handle this for Etherboot. The Etherboot patch worked okay but
FreeBSD's tftpd had trouble handling it and would fail to transfer
the file since it would abort on send and not retry.

for negotiation of timeout and file size to the tftp protocol. This
is required by some firmware like EFI boot managers (at least on
HP i2000 Itanium servers) in order to boot an image using tftp. The
attached patch implements the RFC, and in doing so also implements
RFC2347; a generic tftp option extension.
