in the regular ustar header that are overridden by the pax
extended attributes. As a result, it makes perfect sense to
use numeric extensions in the regular ustar header so that readers
that don't understand pax extensions but do understand some other
extensions can still get useful information out of it.
This is especially important for filesizes, as the failure to
read a file size correctly can get the reader out of sync.
This commit introduces a "non-strict" option into the internal
function to format a ustar header. In non-strict mode, the formatter
will use longer octal values (overwriting terminators) or binary
("base-256") values as needed to ensure that large file sizes,
negative mtimes, etc, have the correct values stored in the regular
ustar header.

is basicly a shell on top of libgdb that knows about kernel threads,
kernel modules and kvm(3). As the word "beginnings" implies, not
all of the features have been implemented yet. The tool is useful
and I'd like feedback on the taken route.
The simplest way to debug a kernel core file is:
kgdb -n 0
This opens /var/crash/vmcore.0 with the corresponding kernel in
the object directory (kernel.debug is used if it exists).
Typical things that need to be added are:
o Auto loading of kernel modules,
o Handling of trapframes so that backtraces can be taken across
them,
o Some fancy commands to extract useful information out of a core
file,
o Various (probably many) other things.
vinumdrive geom with an exclusive bit. This should fix the problem
when underlying partitions overlap (i.e. the 'a' partition is at
the same offset as the 'c' partition).
Ideas borrowed from pjd@, quite a bit of testing by
Matthias Schuendehuette <msch@snafu.de>.
archive_version: Returns a text string, e.g., "libarchive 1.00.000"
archive_api_version: Returns the SHLIB major version
archive_api_feature: Returns a feature number useful for answering
questions such as "Is this recent enough to do XXX?"
The last two also have macros defined in archive.h, so you can compare
the compile-time and run-time environments. (In particular, you can
compare ARCHIVE_API_VERSION to archive_api_version() to detect library
version mismatches.)
With these in hand, it will soon be time to turn on the
shared-library version of libarchive... stay tuned.
Properly wait for not busy and introduce a timeout for devices not
setting busy (as they should).
Leave a printf in there that states how long the wait was, as I'd like
to get an idea of the variations here. The time needed seems also to be
affected by whether a medium is present or not.
FOREACH_SAFE. Remove bad cast of retp and instead use an additional
arg to pass back the number of valid outputs. Use the package convenience
functions for parsing packages.
Thanks to: David O'Brien for pointing this out.
Also, add in a few additional portability tweaks and make a few
more things conditional on features (HAVE_XXXX macros) rather
than platform.
In particular, this means we can now correctly read gtar archives that
contain timestamps prior to the start of the Epoch.
Also, make the code in this area more portable. ANSI C99 headers are
not yet ubiquitous (for example, FreeBSD 4 still lacks them), so be
prepared for systems that don't have the INT64_MAX, INT64_MIN, and
UINT64_MAX macros. This version still requires int64_t and uint64_t be
defined (which can be done in archive_platform.h if necessary), but
doesn't require them to be exactly 64 bits.
