plist-based messages and to eliminate looping previously required to
receive a plist from the kernel:
- prop_dictionary_copyin_ioctl() and prop_dictionary_copyout_ioctl()
now take the cmd argument rather than the file open flag. The
read-ness or write-ness of an ioctl command is checked by these
routines to ensure that information is being passed to/from the
userland component properly.
- prop_dictionary_copyout_ioctl() now allocates the memory for the
XML plist on behalf of the userland component by way of uvm_mmap().
The XML plist is copied out to the newly-mapped anonymous region,
and the pointer returned via the plistref.
- prop_dictionary_recv_ioctl() is responsible for munmap()'ing the
region after parsing the XML plist into internal represenatation.
- A new prop_dictionary_sendrecv_ioctl() is added, allowing user space
code to send a dictionary to the kernel and receive one back as a
reply.
Update users of prop_kern for the API changes (Bluetooth).
This constitutes an ABI / protocol change -- but this will also be put
into NetBSD 4.0 so that the first proplib release will implement the new
scheme.
_{files,dns,yp}_getenetbyaddr() functions from unsigned long to uint32_t.
In rev 1.29, getnetbyaddr(3) was changed to take uint32_t `net' argument
and also passisng uint32_t `net' to nsdispatch(3) varargs, but
these callback functions were not changed accordingly.
Patch was provided by christos, and this fixes amd(8) coredumps on alpha
when /etc/nsswitch.conf has more than one sources for netgroups.
when files may have hard links to a a name that only differs by case
- change install to unconditionally remove its temporary file
when installing hard links with -r. This avoids problems when
built with posix rename(2) semantics and reinstalling an existing
hard link.
- rework hard link targets in bsd.man.mk and bsd.links.mk
to use makefile constructs instead of shell constructs
- always reinstall hard links that may have case conflicts, even
when MKUPDATE=yes, this ensures that they get added to METALOG
- remove man pages which were hard linked to themselves in libform
- remove improper hard link command for existing man page in libkrb5
- fix libl's makefile to include bsd.lib.mk at end
- remove shell quoting in link target for test's [.1 man page
Both available for IPv4 and IPv6.
