hack, thereby allowing future extensions to the structure (e.g., for extended
attributes) without rebreaking the ABI. FTSENT now contains a pointer to the
parent stream, which fts_compar() can then take advantage of, avoiding the
undefined behavior previously warned about. As a consequence of this change,
the prototype of the comparison function passed to fts_open() has changed
to reflect the required amount of constness for its use. All callers in the
tree are updated to use the correct prototype.
Comparison functions can now make use of the new parent pointer to access
the new stream-specific private data pointer, which is intended to assist
creation of reentrant library routines which use fts(3) internally.

- 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.
using sizeof() anyway. Use slightly more consistent (per-file) error
reporting for malloc(3) returning NULL. If "malloc failed" was being printed,
don't use err(3). If a NULL format is being used, use err(3). In one case
errx(3) was being used with strerror(3), so just use err(3).
Since then we have living with a GPL'ed find(1) due to grabbing getdate.y
from src/contrib/cvs and its user of the GPL'ed xtime.h. I don't even want
to think about how this could have affected people using our source base.
Would it have been too much trouble to do then what I did now?
Copied getdate.y (public domain) to usr.bin/find and change to use
standard system headers. find(1) now compiles simply with out having
to go to extra effort to do so.

Build fixed on: gcc 3.1 using platforms
documented behavior. Only a certain set of file flags were recognized,
and "no" flags did not match files that have corresponding flags bits
turned off.
Fix and extend the -flags functionality as follows:
: -flags [-|+]<flags>,<notflags>
: The flags are specified using symbolic names (see chflags(1)).
: Those with the "no" prefix (except "nodump") are said to be
: <notflags>. Flags in <flags> are checked to be set, and flags in
: <notflags> are checked to be not set. Note that this is different
: from -perm, which only allows the user to specify mode bits that
: are set.
:
: If flags are preceded by a dash (``-''), this primary evaluates
: to true if at least all of the bits in <flags> and none of the bits
: in <notflags> are set in the file's flags bits. If flags are pre-
: ceded by a plus (``+''), this primary evaluates to true if any of
: the bits in <flags> is set in the file's flags bits, or any of the
: bits in <notflags> is not set in the file's flags bits. Otherwise,
: this primary evaluates to true if the bits in <flags> exactly match
: the file's flags bits, and none of the <flags> bits match those of
: <notflags>.

-E Interpret regular expressions followed by -regex and -iregex op-
tions as extended (modern) regular expressions rather than basic
regular expressions (BRE's). The re_format(7) manual page fully
describes both formats.
-iname pattern
Like -name, but the match is case insensitive.
-ipath pattern
Like -path, but the match is case insensitive.
-regex pattern
True if the whole path of the file matches pattern using regular
expression. To match a file named ``./foo/xyzzy'', you can use
the regular expression ``.*/[xyz]*'' or ``.*/foo/.*'', but not
``xyzzy'' or ``/foo/''.
-iregex pattern
Like -regex, but the match is case insensitive.
These are meant to be compatible with other find(1) implementations
such as GNU's or NetBSD's except regexp library differences.

interface, and statically link them to the programs using them.
These functions, upon reflection and discussion, are too generically
named for a library interface with such specific functionality.
Also the api that they use, whilst ok for private use, isn't good
enough for a libc function.
Additionally there were complications with the build/install-world
process. It depends heavily upon xinstall, which got broken by
the change in api, and caused bootstrap problems and general mayhem.
There is work in progress to address future problems that may be
caused by changes in install-chain tools, and better names for
{g|s}etflags can be derived when some future program requires them.
For now the code has been left in src/lib/libc/gen (it started off
in src/bin/ls).
It's important to provide library functions for manipulating file
flag strings if we ever want this interface to be adopted outside
of the source tree, but now isn't necessarily the right moment
with 4.0-release just around the corner.

string to u_long and back using two functions, flags_to_string and
string_to_flags, which co-existed with 'ls'. As time has progressed
more and more other tools have used these private functions to
manipulate the file flags.
Recently I moved these functions from /usr/src/bin/ls to libutil,
but after some discussion with bde it's been decided that they
really ought to go in libc.
There are two already existing libc functions for manipulating file
modes: setmode and getmode. In keeping with these flags_to_string
has been renamed getflags and string_to_flags to setflags.
The manual page could probably be improved upon ;)
I added $FreeBSD$ whicle I was here. The patch wasn't usable anymore
due to its age so I adapted it.

doesn't know about getvfsbyname() and the vfsconf structure. This
disables the -fstype option if compiled with a pre-processor that
defines __NetBSD__. With the FreeBSD built pre-processor, find can only
be built with the FreeBSD libc. So when running with a NetBSD kernel,
FreeBSD's libc will have to return ENOSYS for things that NetBSD
doesn't support. That's life in a hybrid world.
