serve two purposes: (1) so we can maintain backwards compatibility with
protocols (rwhod, dump, etc...) that either assume time_t is 32 bits or
assume sizeof(time_t) == sizeof(int), or make other similar assumptions.
(2) To tag such routines (by the presence of these calls) for future
cleanup/extension work.
The 32->64 routine, time32_to_time() (when time_t is 64 bits, that is),
is defined specifically to implement temporal locality to properly set the
msb bits of a 64 bit time_t quantity, using the 50 year rule. The locality
code has not been implemented yet (and doesn't need to be for a while),
but that is the intent. This will allow us to maintain backwards protocol
compatibility past 2038.
These routines are intended to be platform and time_t agnostic.

Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
since they not allows POSIXly legal locale data. Currently, if relaxed form
POSIXly legal locale data will be used right now, some programs will be broken,
but it means that either locale data or programs must be fixed, not the library.
Introduce non-standard md_order (month/day order) locale field to be used later
via nl_langinfo(). Currently %EF and %Ef emulated using this field, but they
planned for remove in future in favour of nl_langinfo() test field.
Implement %F per POSIX
adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions. If the threads library is linked in, the real
pthread functions will pulled in.
Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
__sys_foo - actual system call
_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.
Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
to FILE. We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.
Remove uneeded includes of <errno.h> from a few files.
Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files in order to pass commitprep.

optimization that generates code our current as doesn't understand.
The result is bad code that damages dynamic symbol locations at
runtime. Ouch. See PR bin/16862 and discussion in -current.
This change will be backed out when gcc and gas are back in sync.
PR: Fixes bin/16862, but not the underlying problem.

strftime(3), add another one. :) %z yields the local timezone's offset
in hours and minutes, as used in RFC822 headers. There's a precedence
for this in Lunux' libc, and Internet software (like Perl scripts)
start using it.

just use _foo() <-- foo(). In the case of a libpthread that doesn't do
call conversion (such as linuxthreads and our upcoming libpthread), this
is adequate. In the case of libc_r, we still need three names, which are
now _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo().
Convert all internal libc usage of: aio_suspend(), close(), fsync(), msync(),
nanosleep(), open(), fcntl(), read(), and write() to _foo() instead of foo().
Remove all internal libc usage of: creat(), pause(), sleep(), system(),
tcdrain(), wait(), and waitpid().
Make thread cancellation fully POSIX-compliant.

points. For library functions, the pattern is __sleep() <--
_libc_sleep() <-- sleep(). The arrows represent weak aliases. For
system calls, the pattern is _read() <-- _libc_read() <-- read().
Discuss in the BUGS section of the manpage, problems involved with
the use of %C, %e, %l, %p, %U and %W.
