[This file of Tom Christiansen's has been edited to change makelib to h2ph
|
|
and .h to .ph where appropriate--law.]
|
|
|
|
This directory contains files to help you convert the *.ph files generated my
|
|
h2ph out of the perl source directory into *.pl files with all the
|
|
indirection of the subroutine calls removed. The .ph version will be more
|
|
safely portable, because if something isn't defined on the new system, like
|
|
&TIOCGETP, then you'll get a fatal run-time error on the system lacking that
|
|
function. Using the .pl version means that the subsequent scripts will give
|
|
you a 0 $TIOCGETP and God only knows what may then happen. Still, I like the
|
|
.pl stuff because they're faster to load.
|
|
|
|
FIrst, you need to run h2ph on things like sys/ioctl.h to get stuff
|
|
into the perl library directory, often /usr/local/lib/perl. For example,
|
|
# h2ph sys/ioctl.h
|
|
takes /usr/include/sys/ioctl.h as input and writes (without i/o redirection)
|
|
the file /usr/local/lib/perl/sys/ioctl.ph, which looks like this
|
|
|
|
eval 'sub TIOCM_RTS {0004;}';
|
|
eval 'sub TIOCM_ST {0010;}';
|
|
eval 'sub TIOCM_SR {0020;}';
|
|
eval 'sub TIOCM_CTS {0040;}';
|
|
eval 'sub TIOCM_CAR {0100;}';
|
|
|
|
and much worse, rather than what Larry's ioctl.pl from the perl source dir has,
|
|
which is:
|
|
|
|
$TIOCM_RTS = 0004;
|
|
$TIOCM_ST = 0010;
|
|
$TIOCM_SR = 0020;
|
|
$TIOCM_CTS = 0040;
|
|
$TIOCM_CAR = 0100;
|
|
|
|
[Workaround for fixed bug in makedir/h2ph deleted--law.]
|
|
|
|
The more complicated ioctl subs look like this:
|
|
|
|
eval 'sub TIOCGSIZE {&TIOCGWINSZ;}';
|
|
eval 'sub TIOCGWINSZ {&_IOR("t", 104, \'struct winsize\');}';
|
|
eval 'sub TIOCSETD {&_IOW("t", 1, \'int\');}';
|
|
eval 'sub TIOCGETP {&_IOR("t", 8,\'struct sgttyb\');}';
|
|
|
|
The _IO[RW] routines use a %sizeof array, which (presumably)
|
|
is keyed on the type name with the value being the size in bytes.
|
|
|
|
To build %sizeof, try running this in this directory:
|
|
|
|
% ./getioctlsizes
|
|
|
|
Which will tell you which things the %sizeof array needs
|
|
to hold. You can try to build a sizeof.ph file with:
|
|
|
|
% ./getioctlsizes | ./mksizes > sizeof.ph
|
|
|
|
Note that mksizes hardcodes the #include files for all the types, so it will
|
|
probably require customization. Once you have sizeof.ph, install it in the
|
|
perl library directory. Run my tcbreak script to see whether you can do
|
|
ioctls in perl now. You'll get some kind of fatal run-time error if you
|
|
can't. That script should be included in this directory.
|
|
|
|
If this works well, now you can try to convert the *.ph files into
|
|
*.pl files. Try this:
|
|
|
|
foreach file ( sysexits.ph sys/{errno.ph,ioctl.ph} )
|
|
./mkvars $file > t/$file:r.pl
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
The last one will be the hardest. If it works, should be able to
|
|
run tcbreak2 and have it work the same as tcbreak.
|
|
|
|
Good luck.
