This allows specifying a %job (which is equivalent to the corresponding

Additionally, it improves reliability of kill from sh in high-load
situations and ensures "kill" finds the correct utility regardless of PATH,
as required by POSIX (unless the undocumented %builtin mechanism is used).
Side effect: fatal errors (any error other than kill(2) failure) now return
exit status 2 instead of 1. (This is consistent with other sh builtins, but

media option generally should be used instead. Actually I think the lists
of media types should be removed from the manual pages of MAC drivers
altogether and users just pointed to the output of `ifconfig -m` instead;
even before r215297 there were several outdated descriptions, technically
it's wrong most of the time as not the MAC drivers support these media
types but actually the PHY drivers do and it generally doesn't make sense
to maintain these lists in every manual page of a driver as the media is
auto-detected.
This was removed in 2001 but I think it is appropriate to add it back:
* I do not want to encourage people to write fragile and non-portable echo
commands by making printf much slower than echo.
* Recent versions of Autoconf use it a lot.
* Almost no software still wants to support systems that do not have
printf(1) at all.
* In many other shells printf is already a builtin.
Side effect: printf is now always the builtin version (which behaves
identically to /usr/bin/printf) and cannot be overridden via PATH (except
via the undocumented %builtin mechanism).
Code size increases about 5K on i386. Embedded folks might want to replace

controller, but make it optional.
After a problem report from Andrew Boyer, it looks like the LSI
chip may have issues (the watchdog timer fired) if too many aborts
are sent down to the chip at the same time. We know that task
management commands are serialized, and although the manual doesn't
say it, it may be a good idea to just send one at a time.
But, since I'm not certain that this is necessary, add a tunable
and sysctl variable (hw.mps.%d.allow_multiple_tm_cmds) to control
the driver's behavior.
mps.c: Add support for the sysctl and tunable, and add a
comment about the possible return values to
mps_map_command().
mps_sas.c: Run all task management commands through two new
routines, mpssas_issue_tm_request() and
mpssas_complete_tm_request().
This allows us to optionally serialize task
management commands. Also, change things so that
the response to a task management command always
comes back through the callback. (Before it could
come via the callback or the return value.)
mpsvar.h: Add softc variables for the list of active task
management commands, the number of active commands,
and whether we should allow multiple active task
management commands. Add an active command flag.

The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined address
selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8).
The keyword "ipv4_prefer" sets IPv4-preferred one described in Section 10.3,
the keyword "ipv6_prefer" sets IPv6-preferred one in Section 2.1 in RFC 3484,
respectively. When "AUTO" is specified, it attempts to read
/etc/ip6addrctl.conf first. If it is found, it reads and installs it as
a policy table. If not, either of the two pre-defined policy tables is
chosen automatically according to $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces.
When $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=NO, interfaces which have no corresponding
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is marked as IFDISABLED for security reason.
The default values are ip6addrctl_policy=AUTO and

drain, the internal buffer will never be expanded. For userland sbufs
with a drain, the internal buffer may still be expanded by
sbuf_[v]printf(3).
Sbufs now have three basic uses:
1) static string manipulation. Overflow is marked.
2) dynamic string manipulation. Overflow triggers string growth.
3) drained string manipulation. Overflow triggers draining.
In all cases the manipulation is 'safe' in that overflow is detected and
managed.

lower memory usage than GNU grep, GNU compatibility,
BSD license.
TODO: Performance is somewhat behind GNU grep but it is only
significant for bigger searches. The reason is complex, the
most important factor is that GNU grep uses lots of
optimizations to improve the speed of the regex library.
First, we need a modern regex library (practically by adopting
TRE), add support for GNU-style non-standard regexes and then
reevalute the performance issues and look for bottlenecks. In
the meantime, for those, who need better performance, it is
possible to build GNU grep by setting WITH_GNU_GREP.
