knob is unset, the library part, the binaries, the header file and
the metadata files will not be built or installed so it makes no impact
on the system if left turned off.
This work is based on the iconv implementation in NetBSD but a great
number of improvements and feature additions have been included:
- Some utilities have been added. There is a conversion table generator,
which can compare conversion tables to reference data generated by
GNU libiconv. This helps ensuring conversion compatibility.
- UTF-16 surrogate support and some endianness issues have been fixed.
- The rather chaotic Makefiles to build metadata have been refactored
and cleaned up, now it is easy to read and it is also easier to add
support for new encodings.
- A bunch of new encodings and encoding aliases have been added.
- Support for 1->2, 1->3 and 1->4 mappings, which is needed for
transliterating with flying accents as GNU does, like "u.
- Lots of warnings have been fixed, the major part of the code is
now WARNS=6 clean.
- New section 1 and section 5 manual pages have been added.
- Some GNU-specific calls have been implemented:
iconvlist(), iconvctl(), iconv_canonicalize(), iconv_open_into()
- Support for GNU's //IGNORE suffix has been added.
- The "-" argument for stdin is now recognized in iconv(1) as per POSIX.
- The Big5 conversion module has been fixed.
- The iconv.h header files is supposed to be compatible with the
GNU version, i.e. sources should build with base iconv.h and
GNU libiconv. It also includes a macro magic to deal with the
char ** and const char ** incompatibility.
- GNU compatibility: "" or "char" means the current local
encoding in use
- Various cleanups and style(9) fixes.

wcstoimax and wcstoumax, rather than spelling it __wchar_t. This is necessary
to use these functions in C++ where wchar_t is different to __wchar_t and is
a built-in type.
It may be better to use __wchar_t here and to simply define __wchar_t as being
wchar_t in C++ mode rather than to bring in wchar_t, but this is less invasive
and follows our existing practice, and restores wchar_t usage in this file to
what it was before r1.8.
Erwin ran an exp-run with libcompat and <regexp.h> removed. It turns out
the regexp library is almost entirely unused. In fact, it looks like it
is sometimes used by accident. Because these function names clash with
libc's <regex.h>, some application use both <regex.h> and libcompat,
which means they link against the wrong regex library.
This commit removes the regexp library and reimplements re_comp() and
re_exec() using <regex.h>. It seems the grammar of the regular
expressions accepted by these functions is similar to POSIX EREs.
After this commit, 1 low-profile port will be broken, but the maintainer
already has a patch for it sitting in his mailbox.
These header files only provide functionality that can be used in
combination with libcompat. In order to prevent people from including
them without any actual use (which happens a lot with <sys/timeb.h>),
put a warning here to make people more aware.
This means we have to lower WARNS for libcompat, which is no big deal.
Note that due to e.g. write throttling ('wdrain'), it can stall all the disk
I/O instead of just the device it's configured for. Using it for removable
media is therefore not a good idea.

The ttyslot() function was originally part for SUSv1, marked LEGACY in
SUSv2 and removed later on. This function only makes sense when using
utmp(5), because it was used to determine the offset of the record for
the controlling TTY. It makes little sense to keep it here, because the
new utmpx file format doesn't index based on TTY slots.
The utmpx interface is the standardized interface of the user accounting
database. The standard only defines a subset of the functions that were
present in System V-like systems.
I'd like to highlight some of the traits my implementation has:
- The standard allows the on-disk format to be different than the
in-memory representation (struct utmpx). Most operating systems don't
do this, but we do. This allows us to keep our ABI more stable, while
giving us the opportunity to modify the on-disk format. It also allows
us to use a common file format across different architectures (i.e.
byte ordering).
- Our implementation of pututxline() also updates wtmp and lastlog (now
called utx.log and utx.lastlogin). This means the databases are more
likely to be in sync.
- Care must be taken that our implementation discard any fields that are
not applicable. For example, our DEAD_PROCESS records do not hold a
TTY name. Just a time stamp, a record identifier and a process
identifier. It also guarantees that strings (ut_host, ut_line and
ut_user) are null terminated. ut_id is obviously not null terminated,
because it's not a string.
- The API and its behaviour should be conformant to POSIX, but there may
be things that slightly deviate from the standard. This implementation
uses separate file descriptors when writing to the log files. It also
doesn't use getutxid() to search for a field to overwrite. It uses an
allocation strategy similar to getutxid(), but prevents DEAD_PROCESS
records from accumulating.
Make sure libulog doesn't overwrite the manpages shipped with our C
library. Also keep the symbol list in Symbol.map sorted.
I'll bump __FreeBSD_version later this evening. I first want to convert
everything to <utmpx.h> and get rid of <utmp.h>.
now type sema_t is a structure which can be put in a shared memory area,
and multiple processes can operate it concurrently.
User can either use mmap(MAP_SHARED) + sem_init(pshared=1) or use sem_open()
to initialize a shared semaphore.
Named semaphore uses file system and is located in /tmp directory, and its
file name is prefixed with 'SEMD', so now it is chroot or jail friendly.
In simplist cases, both for named and un-named semaphore, userland code
does not have to enter kernel to reduce/increase semaphore's count.
The semaphore is designed to be crash-safe, it means even if an application
is crashed in the middle of operating semaphore, the semaphore state is
still safely recovered by later use, there is no waiter counter maintained
by userland code.
The main semaphore code is in libc and libthr only has some necessary stubs,
this makes it possible that a non-threaded application can use semaphore
without linking to thread library.
Old semaphore implementation is kept libc to maintain binary compatibility.
The kernel ksem API is no longer used in the new implemenation.

Std 1003.1-2008. Both Linux and Solaris conforms to the new definitions,

there, change the definitions of the functions to ANSI C and fix several

Remove requirement for "sys/types.h" include for functions from manpage.
POSIX also requires that alphasort(3) sorts as if strcoll(3) was used,
but leave the strcmp(3) call in the function for now.
Adapt in-tree callers of scandir(3) to new declaration. The fact that
select_sections() from catman(1) could modify supplied struct dirent is
a bug.

The <sys/termios.h> header file is hardlinked to <termios.h>. It
contains both the structures and the flag definitions, but also the C
library interface that's implemented by the C library.
This header file has the typical problem of including too many random
things and being badly ordered. Instead of trying to fix this, decompose
it into two header files:
- <sys/_termios.h>, which contains struct termios and the flags.
- <termios.h>, which includes <sys/_termios.h> and contains the C
library interface.
This means userspace has to include <termios.h> for struct termios,
while kernelspace code has to include <sys/tty.h>. Also add a
<sys/termios.h>, which prints a warning message before including
<termios.h>. I am aware that there are some applications that use this
header file as well.
