jtc 43fa6fe319 If port provides __weak_alias(), provide an Standard C and POSIX pure identifier namespace by renaming non standard functions and variables such that they have a leading underscore. The library will use those names internally. Weak aliases are used to provide the original names to the API. This is only the first part of this change. It is most of the functions which are implemented in C for all NetBSD ports. Subsequent changes are to add the same support to the remaining C files, to assembly files, and to the automagically generated assembly source used for system calls. When all of the above is done, ports with weak alias support should add a definition for __weak_alias to <sys/cdefs.h>.		1997-07-21 14:06:24 +00:00

============================================
Distribution contents:

Makefile.inc	Ignore this, it's the 4.4BSD subsystem Makefile.
PORT		The per OS/architecture directories to use to build
		libdb.a, if you're not running 4.4BSD.  See the file
		PORT/README for more information.
README		This file.
btree		The B+tree routines.
changelog	List of changes, per version.
db		The dbopen(3) interface routine.
docs		Various USENIX papers, and the formatted manual pages.
hash		The extended linear hashing routines.
man		The unformatted manual pages.
mpool		The memory pool routines.
recno		The fixed/variable length record routines.
test		Test package.

============================================
Debugging:

If you're running a memory checker (e.g. Purify) on DB, make sure that
you recompile it with "-DPURIFY" in the CFLAGS, first.  By default,
allocated pages are not initialized by the DB code, and they will show
up as reads of uninitialized memory in the buffer write routines.
