extract. We now generate GNU tar archives by default ("ustar ^@" instead of
"ustar^@00"). GNU extensions can be disabled with --strict.
XXX: long symlinks untested.
- correct -C processing
- add ability to read filenames and flags from a file
- don't print dangerous escape sequences to the terminal
- use strlcpy/strncpy properly.
- handle tmpfile creation better.
- improve documentation of options.
- handle stdout/stderr list selection correctly.
- kill gzip when we get interrupted.
- simplify gzip setup.
- add more flags to programs.
additional changes:
- librmt processing.
- set POSIXLY_CORRECT in options parsing.
- prevent more string overruns.
- support -T
we don't turn the switch on to replace tar and cpio yet.
round has been tested on Solaris/x86 and Linux hosts.
* Add host tools cap_mkdb, ctags, m4, uudecode.
* Protect __RCSID() and __COPYRIGHT() better.
* Reduce the number of places that need to include "config.h", to keep
sources closer to their "vanilla" versions.
* Add more compat #defines and autoconf-checked functions.
files on standard input as an mtree(8) `specfile' specification, and
write or copy only those items in the specfile.
If the file exists in the underlying file system, its permissions and
modification time will be used unless specifically overridden by the
specfile. An error will be raised if the type of entry in the specfile
conflicts with that of an existing file.
Otherwise, it is necessary to specify at least the following parameters
in the specfile: type, mode, gname or gid, and uname or uid, device
(in the case of block or character devices), and link (in the case of
symbolic links). If time isn't provided, the current time will be used.
leaving the ansi stuff)
- use longlong_t instead of quad_t (etc), and rename *uqd*() -> *ull*()
- clean up the NET2_STAT stuff similar to ftpd; provide #defines and
macros which select which cast to use, etc
- clean up the NET2_FTS and NET2_REGEX #define use
a new volume upon premature end-of-volume (e.g. broken pipe). This is
especially useful in automated environments where error recovery cannot
be performed by a human.
Continue partial write(2) on signals (xwrite()).
Partial read(2) at a few places are also continued (xread()).
Add {read,write}_with_restart() hooks for porting on systems
which don't restart interrupted read()/write() calls.
Reviewed and discussed in tech-kern and tech-userlevel lists.
- minor cleanups to the options parsing code.
- add a cpio frontend.
note: a few GNU/svr4 cpio options are not supported yet (#ifdef
notyet), however all x/open ones are.
