Britain and its colonies eliminated 11 days (not 10), following
September 2, 1752.
From "A.D. 1751. Anno vicesimo quarto GEORGII II. CAP. XXIII.
An Act for Regulating the Commencement of the Year; and for
Correcting the Calendar now in Use.":
"... and that the natural Day next immediately following the said 2nd Day of
*September* [1752], shall be called, reckoned and accounted to be the 14th
Day of *September*, omitting for that Time only the 11 intermediate nominal
Days of the common Calendar;
and that the several natural Days, which shall follow and succeed next after
the said 14th Day of *September*, shall be respectively called, reckoned and
numbered forwards in numerical Order from the said 14th Day of *September*,
according to the Order and Succession of Days now used in the present
Calendar; "
Added a caution note on using cal for very old dates.
Problem mentionned in PR 5215 by John Franklin (franklin@bev.net).
Thanks to Perry Metzger for his comments and for reviewing this man page.
the provided port is a valid number use that rather than trying to do
getservbyname() against it.
fixes a problem on foreign systems noted by Chuck Silvers <chuq@chuq.com>
for a while, but showed up due to recent static poisoning.) Note that although
fmt.c builds against ../mail/head.c, this function never actually gets used.
Following examples show the cases.
% ktrace -f - false >/dev/null && echo wrong
wrong
% ktrace -f - -i /usr/sbin/update >/dev/null
(does not return to command line)
That is, back out last change and restore the roles of parent/child for
ktrace(1). The ktruss(1) stuff still remains.
Yes, ktruss(1) has the problems. Better implementation is expected.
- add `usage'; displays the usage of a command.
implemented by calling the c_handler() with argc = 0, argv = "funcname".
- add `passive auto'; does the same as $FTPMODE=auto.
- add `set [option value]'; display all options, or set an option to a value.
- add `unset option'; unset an option.
- add getoptionvalue() to retrieve an option's value, and replace a few
global variables with calls to this.
- implement cleanuppeer(), which resets various bits of state back to
`disconnected'. call in disconnect() and lostpeer().
- support completing on `options'.
- improve recovery after a SIGINT may have closed the connection.
XXX: there's still a couple to fix
other stuff:
- various consistency fixes in the man page.
- ensure that the command usage strings in the code and man page match reality.
- mput/mget: check that the connection still exists before each xfer.
- minor cosmetic changes in confirm().
- set code correctly in sizecmd() and modtime()
- don't need \n in err() strings.
- change lostpeer to take an argument (rather than casting (sig_t)lostpeer
in signal handlers)
- knf and whitespace police.
only return a header length of 0 if we are using -f (force), not
in the case when we know how long the header is. this stops from
playing the audio header.
* simplify main loop (don't need `top' variable any more)
* use a struct sockaddr_in6.sin6_addr for the result from inet_pton(),
rather than u_char buf[16]
* add a few more comments
* confirm(): move from util.c to cmds.c. display mnemonic string in its prompt.
add support for `q' (terminate current xfer), `?' (show help list)
* in various signal handlers, output a linefeed only if fromatty.
* if fgets(stdin) returned NULL (i.e, EOF), clearerr(stdin) because you don't
want future fgets to fail. this is not done for the fgets() in the main
command loop, since ftp will quit at that point.
* unless ftp is invoked with -a, don't retain the anonftp setting between
hosts (`ftp somehost:' sets anonftp, but you don't want that to `stick'
if you close that connection and open a new one).
stage. if this occurs, just call lostpeer() to close the connection. whilst this
might be considered brutal, it's also extremely handy if you're impatient or there's
lossage at the remote end.
don't save the signal mask on some foreign systems.
* ensure signal handlers don't use stdio and do reset errno if they
don't exit with siglongjmp()
* use a common SIGINT handler for {send,recv}request()
(work around editline's override)
* minor cleanup of signal handler (along the lines of similar work in
recvrequest()). the handlers should now be reset everytime the cleanup
handler was callled.
prints out info if bytes > 0). only set the handler if SIGINFO is defined
* hijack SIGQUIT to be the same as SIGINFO (foreign ports have this, and it's
annoying to have SIGQUIT dump core on netbsd when it prints info on other
systems)
* in {recv,send}request(), factor a lot of duplicated code out into a
`cleanup' section at the end
* rework shell() a bit
* implement xsignal_restart(), which only sets the SA_RESTART flag if
specifically requested
* xsignal() is now a wrapper to xsignal_restart(). INFO, USR1, USR2 and WINCH
are restartable, ALRM, INT, PIPE and QUIT are not.
* improve getreply()'s timeout code to take advantage of the above.
other changes:
* improve wording of how globbing works for `classic' URLs (host:path).
suggested by John Refling <johnr@imageworks.com> in relation to PRs
[bin/8519] and [bin/8520]
* always compile in the `edit' command even if NO_EDITCOMPLETE defined.
it's just a no-op in the latter case, which is more consistent to
the users.
* always compile in about: support (i.e, remove NO_ABOUT).
i'm entitled to some vanity in this program...
* clean up some whitespace
the disabled state can be overridden by toggling epsv4.
(I got sick of the errors about EPSV not being supported on almost
every server I connect to. This way we retain support for epsv4, but
it's not so whiny after the first failure...)
to "extern" if it's not set. define GLOBAL to (empty) in main.c.
this effectively moves all the globals into main.c whilst retaining
namespace access to them in other source files.
(global vars in header files confuse foreign linkers)
should be in host order. found/fixed by Matthias Pfaller <leo@dachau.marco.de>
* parse_url(): improve checking of portnum, and add an extra argument to pass
back the parsed portnum to the caller (reduces a bit of code duplication)
* Move the KAME/WIDE copyrights after the BSD/TNFi ones. Since there was
significantly less code added under the former, it's only fair on the latter.
ETA might be over and will appear to drop rapidly, rather than being under
and appear not to change. the original code makes sense when you're testing
by suspending & resuming the client. however, the unfudged number is probably
better in reality, especially for slow spurty networks.

lpage page local files
pdir as dir, but through your $PAGER
pls as ls, but through your $PAGER
* implement docase() (a la dotrans() et al) and use appropriately, rototilling
some duplicated code
* globulize(): modify to return a pointer to the strdup()ed result in all cases,
and hack the code that calls it to take this into account
* replace strcpy() and strncpy() with strlcpy()
* put(), getit(): use some aptly named local vars instead of argv[...]
* delint
prototype for idle() in <unistd.h> (which i thought was against namespace
and sensibility guidelines, but...)
* consistently use xsignal() instead of signal(). we get known behaviour
in all cases (SA_RESTART), which is good for some borken foreign systems.
* remove signal.h from most files; it's unnecessary now
* fetch_url(): use `long chunksize' instead of ssize_t; it's more portable, and
we're setting chunksize with strtol() anyway
* xsignal(): only use SA_RESTART if it exists. SunOS 4.x doesn't have it
but has the inverse (SA_INTERRUPT). the original function i was inspired
from had this support (lib/signal.c, W. Richard Stevens' `UNP 2nd ed Vol 1').
* remove <termios.h> from util.c; it should be unnecessary now

it's more portable and more obvious
* remove the mkgmtime() && HAVE_TIMEGM stuff:
a) why should netbsd have to define HAVE_TIMEGM to compile cleanly?
b) foreign compiles of ftp should just be linked with working
timegm function
a more portable version of this ftp client will be released as a 3rdparty
product; no use polluting our code with half-baked attempts...
* abort_remote(): replace borken MIN(4,BUFSIZ) with just BUFSIZ; it
should have been MAX(4,BUFSIZ), but it's probably safe to assume that
BUFSIZ is at least 3... (fix from simonb)
* auth_url(): use the correct variable when calculating a buffer size.
add lots of comments about how to size up the buffers, and add extra
checks to hopefully ensure that there won't be an overflow (unless
someone modifies the length of the sprintf()s).
* as part of the above, slightly rework the way the `*' bar is calculated.
also fixes a display bug when > 160 stars were needed to be printed.
the maximum progress bar width at this time is 256.
* remove some code that checks the port that was #if 0-ed out as part of the
ipv6 migration; it's not going to be used again.
* document the above three commands
* rototill the way the sndbuf and rcvbuf work. remove resetsockbufsize()
* use the appropriate socket buffer size as the size of the buffer that
the read()/write() loops use. speeds up things in some cases.
