around. If the kernel boots successfully, the record of this kernel
is erased, it is intended to be a one-shot option for testing
kernels.
This could be improved by having the loader remove the record of
the next kernel to boot, it is currently removed in /etc/rc immediately
after disks are mounted r/w.
I'd like to MFC this before the 4.6 freeze unless there is violent
objection.

Use only one filedescriptor. Open in R/O or R/W based in the '-N' option.
Make the filedescriptor a global variable instead of passing it around
as semi-global variable(s).
Remove the undocumented ability to specify type without '-T' option.
Replace fatal() with straight err(3)/errx(3). Save calls to strerror()
where applicable. Loose the progname variable.
Get the sense of the cpgflag test correct so we only issue warnings if
people specify cpg and can't get that. It can be argued that this
should be an error.
Remove the check to see if the disk is mounted: Open for writing
would fail if it were mounted.
Attempt to get the sectorsize and mediasize with the generic disk
ioctls, fall back to disklabel and /etc/disktab as we can.
Notice that on-disk labels still take precedence over /etc/disktab,
this is probably wrong, but not as wrong as the entire concept of
/etc/disktab is.

the filesystem type isn't given in the command line. In the case of
an IPv6 address containing ':', one must use the '@' separator for it
to be properly parsed (mount_nfs(8) still needs fixing at the moment
though).

o Implement -c (clear) to clear previously kept headers (note that
dumps not cleared will remain until -c is used),
o Implement -f (force) to allow re-saving a previously saved dump,
o Implement -k (keep) and make clearing the dump header the default,
o Implement -v (verbose) and make most output conditional upon it,
o Emit minimal output for the non-verbose case with the assumption
that savecore is run mostly from within /etc/rc,
o Update usage message to reflect what is and what's not,
o mark -d as obsolete.
Low-level changes:
o Rename devname to device, for devname mirrors a global declaration
and GCC 3.x warns about it,
o Open the dump device R/W for clear and !keep to work,
o Reorder the locals of DoFile according to style(9),
o Remove newlines from strings passed to warn* and err*,
o Use stat(2) to check if a dump has been saved before,
o Truncate existing core and info files to support force,
o First check for the magic and the version before we complain about
parity errors. This prevents emitting parity error messages when
there's no dump,
o Keep track of the number of headers found and the number of headers
saved to support the minimal output,
o Close files we opened in DoFile. Not critical, but cleaner.
I'll still be overseeing the changes that go into natd(8) and

that might have changed, then did a byte-by-byte comparison with
the alternate. If any unused fields got used, they had to be added
to the exception list. Such changes caused too many false alarms.
So, I have changed the comparison algorithm to compare a selected
set of fields that are not expected to change. This new algorithm
causes far fewer false hits and still does a good job of detecting
problems when they have really occurred. In particular, this change
should ease the transition to kernels supporting UFS2 which make
some significant changes to the superblock.

to avoid extraneous padding on 64-bit architectures. Use CTASSERT
instead of runtime checks to make sure the header is 512 bytes large.
