behavior(s); e.g., `-Xd' versus `-dX' did not produce the same results. The libraries common.subr and dialog.subr automatically process the arguments passed to the program and enable/disable functionality without the need to process the arguments within your program. For example, if "$@" contains `-d', common.subr will see this and enable debugging regardless of whether you process "$@" yourself or not (this automatic processing can easily be disabled for custom scripts that don't want it; see the afore- mentioned scripts for additional details). NOTE: common.subr stores a copy of "$@" in $ARGV for convenient (and repeated) processing by libraries such as dialog.subr which provide such transparent functionality for the consuming script(s). However, the libraries don't know if a program wants to accept `extra' options. Flags are not really a problem, because the library can be programmed to silently ignore unknown flags. The trouble comes into play when the program wants to define an option that takes an argument. For example: bsdconfig -D logfile -X In the above example, the library uses getopts to process $ARGV and if it doesn't know that `-D' takes an argument, the option processing will prematurely terminate on `logfile' (this is standard/correct behavior for getopts but is undesired in our situation where we have partially off-loaded main argument processing). The problem is solved by allowing the program to define an extra set of options to be included in each library's handling of $ARGV. Only options that require arguments are truly necessary to be pre-specified in this new manner. |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
