under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.
Tested on: i386 (extensively), alpha
of pointers to strings. These two arrays were fixed to the same size, but one
had an implicit zeroed trailer element, which was unused because the size was
used up by the ones before said zeroed trailer element. So the unused limb was
chopped off the over-sized-but-not-over-sized array, and everyone lived happily
ever after.
disklabel.h; broken originally by 1.87 of sys/disklabel.h, which
made the split between DKTYPENAMES and FSTYPENAMES.
Someone who knows disklabel.c: do we still need DKTYPENAMES to be
defined here now?
(I skipped those in contrib/, gnu/ and crypto/)
While I was at it, fixed a lot more found by ispell that I
could identify with certainty to be errors. All of these
were in comments or text, not in actual code.

- Make getvfsbyname() take a struct xvfsconf *.
- Convert several consumers of getvfsbyname() to use struct xvfsconf.
- Correct the getvfsbyname.3 manpage.
- Create a new vfs.conflist sysctl to dump all the struct xvfsconf in the
kernel, and rewrite getvfsbyname() to use this instead of the weird
existing API.
- Convert some {set,get,end}vfsent() consumers to use the new vfs.conflist
sysctl.
- Convert a vfsload() call in nfsiod.c to kldload() and remove the useless
vfsisloadable() and endvfsent() calls.
- Add a warning printf() in vfs_sysctl() to tell people they are using
an old userland.
After these changes, it's possible to modify struct vfsconf without
breaking the binary compatibility. Please note that these changes don't
break this compatibility either.
When bp will have updated mount_smbfs(8) with the patch I sent him, there
will be no more consumers of the {set,get,end}vfsent(), vfsisloadable()
and vfsload() API, and I will promptly delete it.
#define EDOFUS 88 /* Programming error */
This can be used to signal error situations which indicate that the
program logic or assumptions is deficient.
- add GLOB_NOMATCH return value and use it when we don't get a match
- rename GLOB_ABEND to GLOB_ABORTED and use it instead of returning 1
in some places
- add GLOB_NOESCAPE flag and retire GLOB_QUOTE to compatibility

Suggestions/advice on correct usage of POSIX defines: wollman
It's silly to call sysctl() to get the value of _PATH_STDPATH from
<paths.h> when we can just use it directly. This greatly simplifies
the implementation. (This is also part of my grand scheme to get
rid of sysctl's `user' category, which should never have been created.)
Use strlcpy() instead of strncpy() as it has the exact semantics we want.
__dlfunc_t to dlfunc_t to match what I have proposed to the Austin
Group. (This also makes it easier for applications to store these
values before they decide what to do with them, e.g., in a wrapper
function.)
Add new dlfunc() interface, which is a version of dlsym() with a
return type that can be cast to a function pointer without turning
your computer into a frog.
