a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into
the Berkeley airport through thick fog with less than 10 miles
visibility when his instruments went out.
He began circling around looking for a landmark. Finally, a small
opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with a guy
working alone on the fifth floor. He banks the plane around, rolls
down the window and shouts to the guy, "Hey where am I?"
The man replies, "You're in an airplane." The pilot rolls up the
window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to perform a
perfect blind landing on the airport runway 5 miles away. Just as
the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.
The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it.
"Quite easy," replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building
a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct
but absolutely useless, therefore, that must be NetBSD's
support office and from there the airport is just five miles due
East." (Credits:

Seriously: give the reader of the manpage an idea on what this program
is for without forcing them to Google or read another manpage.
and the information from compat/archdirs.mk. Also add suport MKCOMPATTESTS
and process the NetBSD.dist.tests to generate appropriate compat directories.
- space and tab are no shell metachars, remove them from generic
metachar function
- add space and tab as to-be-quoted characters for :Q modifier
- add = and : as characters that require command handling by the shell
resizedisk will adjust the media size in the headers, whereas
recover simply copies the existing header over the missing one.
XXX recover and resizedisk should probably be merged (even if just
partially, so that recover can properly handle media size changes).
Also, reading in the GPT should probably be centralised so that
error handling can be centralised, and users aren't given misleading
messages (i.e. they aren't told to run recover when they should be
running resizedisk). However, something that can be quickly pulled
up to netbsd-7 was needed, and there isn't time for a major overhaul
or rewrite.
