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 ;)
execvp() in the child branch of a vfork(). Changed to use fork()
instead.
Some of these (mv, find, apply, xargs) might benefit greatly from
being rewritten to use vfork() properly.

it if flags were explicitly specified on the command line. Do not warn
if we were merely trying to preserve flags or remove UF_NODUMP. NFS does
not support flags.
I'm not sure that this is ideal, but it should do for now. Installing
a plain file onto a NFS server must work, we used to silently ignore the
attempt. Doing a binary install looses the flags anyway since cpio
doens't preserve them with the cdrom/network images.
XXX make world should not use flags or chown/chgrp in the obj/tmp area.
This is based on a suggestion from Ken Merry <ken@plutotech.com>.
types. The NetBSD compatibility cruft was more correct for -current
than FreeBSD's own code. It just used NetBSD #defines instead of
string literals for the filesystem names. NetBSD's MOUNT_UFS is
"ffs", so using a literal "ufs" gives wrong results, but this is
unimportant, especially for bootstrapping.
Fixed style bugs in trymmap().
Fixed some disordered declarations.
handy at the moment with -current's mmap+unlink interactions.. The
problems seem worst when using INSTALL="install -C" in /etc/make.conf.
This could well come in handy in the future too.
2) When uid/gid not specified, not try to set 0:0 owner, just do nothing.
It makes possible to use install -d by users without setting
their uid:gid each time.
3) Be more specific where install_dir fails
reopen it after strip has finished. This makes it work when
/usr/bin/strip replaces the file rather than doing an in-place edit
(such as the binutils-2.8 strip, which is a variation of objcopy).
This is necessary if install(1) and strip(1) are going to cooperate
on an ELF system.
until the includes are installed, and it doesn't install the includes until
xinstall is built (the previous xinstall binary may not have -C). As a
bandaid, define MAP_FAILED ourselves if <sys/mman.h> didn't. Perhaps it
would be safer to simply disable mmap if all the prerequisites are not
there.
- Use MAP_FAILED instead of the constant -1 to indicate
failure (required by POSIX).
- Removed flag arguments of '0' (required by POSIX).
- Fixed code which expected an error return of 0.
- Fixed code which thought any address with the high bit set
was an error.
- Check for failure where no checks were present.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
- Change the debug flag from -d to -D to avoid conflict with other
install programs.
- Update man page to reflect this
- Update usage string
-d meaning creat directory is specifically not implemented by these changes.

Dont leave stray INS@xxxx temp files around, especially when installing

It still doesn't clean up the temp files on SEGV or other signals etc.
installing. mmap'ing stuff over a nfs mount took out my machine during
a 'make world' last night while I was asleep. I started out with a list
of fs's to avoid, when I realised that I really didn't know which ones
were safe with mmap, so I went for the ones I knew and implemented a
fallback compare.
installs something. This is not 100% right, since it has a false hit
when install -C snaps hard links.
Also, run strip(1) from the $PATH, otherwise you need a special version
of install to install (say) elf binaries which have a different strip.
With JDP's elfkit, the layout of the path determines which binary format
you are generating.
allow the user to install using a Numeric GID or UID.
this brings it in to line with chgrp and chown, ans is required
by some people using FreeBSD in a product.

Use library err() functions instead of our own and pass them better

Get the man page installed. Does anyone know the reason for the name
xinstall instead of install for this directory ? Would life more
easy to get this whole thing under install.
