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
