Poul-Henning Kamp 75067f4f70 Add an extensible version of our *printf(3) implementation to libc
on probationary terms:  it may go away again if it transpires it is
a bad idea.

This extensible printf version will only be used if either
    environment variable USE_XPRINTF is defined
or
    one of the extension functions are called.
or
    the global variable __use_xprintf is set greater than zero.

In all other cases our traditional printf implementation will
be used.

The extensible version is slower than the default printf, mostly
because less opportunity for combining I/O operation exists when
faced with extensions.  The default printf on the other hand
is a bad case of spaghetti code.

The extension API has a GLIBC compatible part and a FreeBSD version
of same.  The FreeBSD version exists because the GLIBC version may
run afoul of our FILE * locking in multithreaded programs and it
even further eliminate the opportunities for combining I/O operations.

Include three demo extensions which can be enabled if desired: time
(%T), hexdump (%H) and strvis (%V).

%T can format time_t (%T), struct timeval (%lT) and struct timespec (%llT)
   in one of two human readable duration formats:
	"%.3llT" -> "20349.245"
	"%#.3llT" -> "5h39m9.245"

%H will hexdump a sequence of bytes and takes a pointer and a length
   argument.  The width specifies number of bytes per line.
	"%4H" -> "65 72 20 65"
	"%+4H" -> "0000 65 72 20 65"
	"%#4H" -> "65 72 20 65  |er e|"
	"%+#4H" -> "0000 65 72 20 65  |er e|"

%V will dump a string in strvis format.
	"%V" -> "Hello\tWor\377ld"	(C-style)
	"%0V" -> "Hello\011Wor\377ld"	(octal)
	"%+V" -> "Hello%09Wor%FFld"	(http-style)

Tests, comments, bugreports etc are most welcome.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
