The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following: - Improved driver model: The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into TTY buffers. If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer (still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver. - Improved hotplugging: With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design, where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be used to free resources (unit numbers, etc). The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly. - Improved performance: One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking. Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters. Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions, existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility displays open file entry, swap space utilization,
|
|
terminal state, and vnode data structures.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If invoked as
|
|
.Nm swapinfo
|
|
the
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
option is implied, and only the
|
|
.Fl k , m , g ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
options are legal.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl M
|
|
option is not specified, information is obtained from
|
|
the currently running kernel via the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 3
|
|
interface.
|
|
Otherwise, information is read from the specified core file,
|
|
using the name list from the specified kernel image (or from
|
|
the default image).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl n

.It Fl s
|
|
Print information about swap space usage on all the

|
swap areas compiled into the kernel.
|
|
The first column is the device name of the partition.
|
|
The next column is
|
|
the total space available in the partition.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar Used
|
|
column indicates the total blocks used so far; the
|
