GNU groff doesn't care about the ordering, and doesn't even mention
CAVEATS and SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS as common sections and where to put
them.

this type conversion is the high bits which were used to indicate if a
special character was a literal or special were dropped. As a result, all
special character were treated as special, even if they were supposed to
be literals.

sigvec(2) references have been updated to sigaction(2), sigsetmask(2) and
sigblock(2) to sigprocmask(2), sigpause(2) to sigsuspend(2).
Some legacy man pages still refer to them, that is OK.
Also add xrefs for confstr(3) (as sysconf(3) but for strings) and kvm(3)
(which is a more convenient way to access some of the variables).

POSIX permits but does not require checking access on the current and parent
directories.
Because various programs do not like it if getcwd(3) fails, it seems best
to avoid checking access as much as possible. There are various reports in
GNATS about this (search for getcwd).
Our getcwd(3) implementation first queries the kernel for the pathname
directly, which does not check any permissions but sometimes fails, and then
falls back to reading all parent directories for the names.

Although groff_mdoc(7) gives another impression, this is the ordering
most widely used and also required by mdocml/mandoc.

The `name' and `newp' arguments can be marked const, because the buffers
they refer to are never changed. While there, perform some other
cleanups:
- Remove K&R from sysctl.c.
- Implement sysctlbyname() using sysctlnametomib() to prevent
duplication of an undocumented kernel interface.
- Fix some whitespace nits.
It seems the prototypes are now in sync with NetBSD as well.
This bug in the man page has gone unnoticed for over 15 years!

- Make sure the mode argument is either a character or a block device.
- Use S_IS*() instead of checking S_IF*-flags by hand.
- Don't use kern.devname when the argument is already NODEV.
- Always call snprintf with the proper amount of arguments corresponding
with the format.
- Perform some whitespace fixes. Tabs instead of 4 spaces, missing space
for return statement.
- Remove unneeded includes.
When we had utmp(5), we had to list all the psuedo-terminals in ttys(5)
to make ttyslot(3) function properly. Now that pututxline(3) deals with
slot allocation internally (not based on TTY names), we don't need to
list all the TTYs on the system in ttys(5) to make user accounting work
properly.
This patch removes all the entries from the /etc/ttys files, but also
the pts(4) entries that were appended implicitly, which was added in
r154838.
I've noticed many applications do a bad job at timekeeping, for several
reasons:
- Applications like screen(1) don't update time records when restoring
the old user login record.
- Many applications only set ut_tv.tv_sec, not ut_tv.tv_usec.
This causes many problems for tools such as ac(8), which require the
timestamps to be properly ordered. This is why I've decided to let the
utmpx code obtain valid timestamps itself.
I've discussed this issue with the Austin Group and it will be fixed in
future revisions of the specification. The issue was that ut_line fields
weren't supposed to be valid for LOGIN_PROCESS entries, while
getutxline() would try to match these records anyway.
They also agreed on our way of implementing pututxline() without
getutxid() (which other operating systems also do), but unfortunately
they disagreed with our way of replacing DEAD_PROCESS entries, which is
a pity. The current specification allows the utmpx database to become
infinitely big over time.

It makes hardly any sense to expose a symbol which should only be
provided for binary compatibility, but it seems we don't have a lot of
choice here. There are many autoconf scripts out there that try to
create a binary that links against the old symbol to see whether
uname(3) is present. These scripts fail to detect uname(3) now.
It should be noted that the behaviour we implement is not against the
standards:
| The following shall be declared as a function and may also be defined
| as a macro:
|
| int uname(struct utsname *);
POSIX 2008 and XSI 7require strcoll() for opendir() is not true.
I can't find such requirement in POSIX 2008 and XSI 7.
So, back out that part of my commit, returning old strcmp(), and remove
this misleading comment.
It also matches now how our 'ls' works for years.
b) Remove comment expressed 2 fears:
1) One just simple describe how strcoll() works in _any_ context,
not for directories only. Are we plan to remove strcoll() from everything
just because it is little more complex than strcmp()? I doubt, and
directories give nothing different here. Moreover, strcoll() used
in 'ls' for years and nobody complaints yet.
2) Plain wrong statement about undefined strcoll() behaviour. strcoll()
always gives predictable results, falling back to strcmp() on any
trouble, see strcoll(3).
No objections from -current list discussion.
- Massively reduce BSS usage. Let futx_to_utx() dynamically allocate the
structure. There is only a very small amount of applications out there
that needs to use the utmpx database. Wasting 1 KB on unused
structures makes little sense.
- Just let getutxid() search for matching ut_id's for any *PROCESS-type.
This makes the code a bit more future-proof.
- Fix a POSIX-mistake: when reading POSIX and the OpenSolaris
implementation, getutxline() must return USER_PROCESS and
LOGIN_PROCESS records whose ut_lines match. When reading POSIX, it
seems LOGIN_PROCESS should not use ut_line at the first place. I have
reported this issue.
After comparing how other systems deal with utmp/utmpx, I noticed many
systems don't even care about ttyslot(3) anymore, since utmpx doesn't
use TTY slots anyway. We don't provide any tools to access old utmp
files anymore, so there is no use in letting applications write to a
proper offset within the utmp file.
Just let ttyslot(3) always return 0, which seems to be the default
behaviour on operating systems like Linux as well.
Nowadays uname(3) is an inline function around __xuname(3). Prevent
linkage of new binaries against this compatibility function, similar to
what I did with ttyslot(3).
This utility allows users to convert their wtmp databases to the new
format. It makes no sense for users to keep their wtmp log files if they
are unable to view them.
It basically copies ut_line into ut_id as well. This makes it possible
for last(1) and ac(8) to match login records with their corresponding
logout record.
