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. Sponsored by: DARPA & NAI Labs.
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 ``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/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.
