system-specific values. Submitted by Chris Demetriou in Nov 1995 (!)
in PR kern/1781, modified only slighly by me.
This is enabled on a per-mount basis with the MNT_MAGICLINKS mount
flag. It can be enabled at mountroot() time by building the kernel
with the ROOTFS_MAGICLINKS option.
The following magic strings are supported by the implementation:
@machine value of MACHINE for the system
@machine_arch value of MACHINE_ARCH for the system
@hostname the system host name, as set with sethostname()
@domainname the system domain name, as set with setdomainname()
@kernel_ident the kernel config file name
@osrelease the releaes number of the OS
@ostype the name of the OS (always "NetBSD" for NetBSD)
Example usage:
mkdir /arch/i386/bin
mkdir /arch/sparc/bin
ln -s /arch/@machine_arch/bin /bin
and install ${TOOLDIR}/bin/${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM}-disklabel,
${TOOLDIR}/bin/${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM}-fdisk by "reaching over" to
the sources in ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/sbin/{disklabel fdisk}/.
To avoid clashes with a build-host's header files, especially on
*BSD, the host-tools versions of fdisk and disklabel search for
#includes such as disklabel.h, disklabel_acorn.h, disklabel_gpt.h,
and bootinfo.h in a new #includes namespace, nbinclude/. That is,
they #include <nbinclude/sys/disklabel.h>, <nbinclude/machine/disklabel.h>,
<nbinclude/sparc64/disklabel.h>, instead of <sys/disklabel.h> and
such. I have also updated the system headers to #include from
nbinclude/-space when HAVE_NBTOOL_CONFIG_H is #defined.
have been checked, so that the linker does not warn us. There are valid
uses for mktemp() such as for creating filenames that are going to be
targets of the rename system call. Discussed with lukem.
has also mandated <sys/time.h> to be included, which is now sufficient
for the prototype and all related declarations; thus the local duplicate
of the prototype can be removed. Approved by Christos.
that a strictly conforming C program uses that name itself, so it had to
be removed. Also put the long comment above the #if 0, because it describes
the #if, not the isblank() macro. Added two blank lines to make the grouping
clear. Approved by kleink.
1003.1-2001, and leave the select() prototype in <unistd.h> for
compatibility. To allow for transition, reorganization of this is
deferred until netbsd-3 gets branched.
* Make vfprintf_unlocked() an internal function, c.f. __svfscanf_unlocked().
* Add internal names for arc4random(), endnetpath(), fhstatvfs(),
fstatvfs(), mkstemp(), shquote(), statvfs(), taddr2uaddr(), uaddr2taddr(),
uuid_create_nil(), uuid_is_nil(), and wcwidth().
* Include namespace.h where supposed to.
user visible namespace.
These weren't supported interfaces for a while (it just happened to
work with COMPAT_16 kernels).
There are still internal uses in compat code and as jmp_buf format,
but this is all md code which uses <machine/signal.h>.
with christos' agreement
that the "int maxgroups" and "int *ngroups" parameters are separated into
two separate parameters which makes it possible to call multiple nsswitch
back-ends and have the results correctly merged.
getgrouplist(3) is now implemented using getgroupmembership(3).
Proposed on tech-userlevel on December 1, 2004.
It tells you the major device number for whatever character or block
device you ask it. This is sort of the inverse of devname(3) but not
quite, since it's backed by the kernel (sysctl's kern.drivers
information) and not a database cobbled together from the contents of
the filesystem.
to be transformed into the do-nothing-when-libpthread-isn't-linked libc
stub names. This will permit library code that uses <pthread.h> and pthread
functions "defensively" to not need to link against libpthread and not need
to be patched to the threadlib.h API.
