Hi!
|
||||
|
||||
I'm midnight commander's vfs layer. Before you start hacking me,
|
||||
please read this file. I'm integral part of midnight commander, but I
|
||||
try to go out and live my life myself as a shared library, too. That
|
||||
means that I should try to use as little functions from midnight as
|
||||
possible (so I'm tiny, nice and people like me), that I should not
|
||||
pollute namespace by unneccessary symbols (so I do not crash fellow
|
||||
programs) and that I should have a clean interface between myself and
|
||||
midnight.
|
||||
|
||||
Because I'm rather close to midnight, try to:
|
||||
|
||||
* Keep updating ChangeLog file.
|
||||
|
||||
* Keep the indentation as the rest of the code. Following could help
|
||||
you with your friend emacs:
|
||||
|
||||
(defun mc-c-mode ()
|
||||
"C mode with adjusted defaults for use with the Midnight commander."
|
||||
(interactive)
|
||||
(c-mode)
|
||||
(c-set-style "K&R")
|
||||
(setq c-indent-level 4
|
||||
c-continued-statement-offset 4
|
||||
c-brace-offset 0
|
||||
c-argdecl-indent 4
|
||||
c-label-offset -4
|
||||
c-brace-imaginary-offset 0
|
||||
c-continued-brace-offset 0
|
||||
c-tab-always-indent nil
|
||||
c-basic-offset 4
|
||||
tab-width 8
|
||||
comment-column 60))
|
||||
|
||||
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '(".*/mc/.*\\.[ch]$" . mc-c-mode)
|
||||
auto-mode-alist))
|
||||
|
||||
And because I'm trying to live life on my own as libvfs.so, try to:
|
||||
|
||||
* Make sure all exported symbols are defined in vfs.h and begin with
|
||||
'vfs_'.
|
||||
|
||||
* Do not make any references from midnight into modules like tar. It
|
||||
would probably pollute namespace and midnight would depend on concrete
|
||||
configuration of libvfs. mc_setctl() and mc_ctl() are your
|
||||
friends. (And mine too :-).

PS: If you'd like to use my features in whole operating system, you
|
||||
might want to link me to rpc.nfsd. On
|
||||
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/podfuk/podfuk.html you'll find
|
||||
how to do it.
|
||||
|
||||
PPS: I have a friend, shared library called avfs, which is LD_PRELOAD
|
||||
capable. You can reach her at http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/avfs.
