@c alloca.c:26
|
|
@deftypefn Replacement void* alloca (size_t @var{size})
|
|
|
|
This function allocates memory which will be automatically reclaimed
|
|
after the procedure exits. The @libib{} implementation does not free
|
|
the memory immediately but will do so eventually during subsequent
|
|
calls to this function. Memory is allocated using @code{xmalloc} under
|
|
normal circumstances.
|
|
|
|
The header file @file{alloca-conf.h} can be used in conjunction with the
|
|
GNU Autoconf test @code{AC_FUNC_ALLOCA} to test for and properly make
|
|
available this function. The @code{AC_FUNC_ALLOCA} test requires that
|
|
client code use a block of preprocessor code to be safe (see the Autoconf
|
|
manual for more); this header incorporates that logic and more, including
|
|
the possibility of a GCC built-in function.

@c asprintf.c:32
|
|
@deftypefn Extension int asprintf (char **@var{resptr}, const char *@var{format}, ...)
|
|
|
|
Like @code{sprintf}, but instead of passing a pointer to a buffer, you
|
|
pass a pointer to a pointer. This function will compute the size of
|
|
the buffer needed, allocate memory with @code{malloc}, and store a
|
|
pointer to the allocated memory in @code{*@var{resptr}}. The value
|
|
returned is the same as @code{sprintf} would return. If memory could
|
|
not be allocated, minus one is returned and @code{NULL} is stored in
|
|
@code{*@var{resptr}}.

@c bcmp.c:6
|
|
@deftypefn Supplemental int bcmp (char *@var{x}, char *@var{y}, int @var{count})
|
|
|
|
Compares the first @var{count} bytes of two areas of memory. Returns
|
|
zero if they are the same, nonzero otherwise. Returns zero if
|
|
@var{count} is zero. A nonzero result only indicates a difference,
|
|
it does not indicate any sorting order (say, by having a positive
|
|
result mean @var{x} sorts before @var{y}).

const void *@var{base}, size_t @var{nmemb}, size_t @var{size}, @

int (*@var{compar})(const void *, const void *))
|
|
|
|
Performs a search over an array of @var{nmemb} elements pointed to by
|
|
@var{base} for a member that matches the object pointed to by @var{key}.
|
|
The size of each member is specified by @var{size}. The array contents
|
|
should be sorted in ascending order according to the @var{compar}
|
|
comparison function. This routine should take two arguments pointing to
|
|
the @var{key} and to an array member, in that order, and should return an
|
|
integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the @var{key} object
|
|
is respectively less than, matching, or greater than the array member.

@c argv.c:138
|
|
@deftypefn Extension char** buildargv (char *@var{sp})
|
|
|
|
Given a pointer to a string, parse the string extracting fields
|
|
separated by whitespace and optionally enclosed within either single
|
|
or double quotes (which are stripped off), and build a vector of
|
|
pointers to copies of the string for each field. The input string
|
|
remains unchanged. The last element of the vector is followed by a
|
|
@code{NULL} element.
|
|
|
|
All of the memory for the pointer array and copies of the string
|
|
is obtained from @code{xmalloc}. All of the memory can be returned to the
|
|
system with the single function call @code{freeargv}, which takes the
|
|
returned result of @code{buildargv}, as it's argument.
|
|
|
|
Returns a pointer to the argument vector if successful. Returns
|
|
@code{NULL} if @var{sp} is @code{NULL} or if there is insufficient
|
|
memory to complete building the argument vector.
|
|
|
|
If the input is a null string (as opposed to a @code{NULL} pointer),
|
|
then buildarg returns an argument vector that has one arg, a null
|
|
string.

@c calloc.c:6
|
|
@deftypefn Supplemental void* calloc (size_t @var{nelem}, size_t @var{elsize})

@c filename_cmp.c:201

@deftypefn Extension int canonical_filename_eq (const char *@var{a}, const char *@var{b})
|
|
|
|
Return non-zero if file names @var{a} and @var{b} are equivalent.
|
|
This function compares the canonical versions of the filenames as returned by
|
|
@code{lrealpath()}, so that so that different file names pointing to the same
|
|
underlying file are treated as being identical.

@c choose-temp.c:45

@deftypefn Extension char* choose_temp_base (void)
|
|
|

Return a prefix for temporary file names or @code{NULL} if unable to
|
|
find one. The current directory is chosen if all else fails so the
|
|
program is exited if a temporary directory can't be found (@code{mktemp}
|
|
fails). The buffer for the result is obtained with @code{xmalloc}.
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
Concatenate zero or more of strings and return the result in freshly
|
|
@code{xmalloc}ed memory. The argument list is terminated by the first
|
|
@code{NULL} pointer encountered. Pointers to empty strings are ignored.

@c crc32.c:140
|
|
@deftypefn Extension {unsigned int} crc32 (const unsigned char *@var{buf}, @
|
|
int @var{len}, unsigned int @var{init})
|
|
|
|
Compute the 32-bit CRC of @var{buf} which has length @var{len}. The
|
|
starting value is @var{init}; this may be used to compute the CRC of
|
|
data split across multiple buffers by passing the return value of each
|
|
call as the @var{init} parameter of the next.
|
|
|
|
This is used by the @command{gdb} remote protocol for the @samp{qCRC}
|
|
command. In order to get the same results as gdb for a block of data,
|
|
you must pass the first CRC parameter as @code{0xffffffff}.
|
|
|
|
This CRC can be specified as:
|
|
|
|
Width : 32
|
|
Poly : 0x04c11db7
|
|
Init : parameter, typically 0xffffffff
|
|
RefIn : false
|
|
RefOut : false
|
|
XorOut : 0
|
|
|
|
This differs from the "standard" CRC-32 algorithm in that the values
|
|
are not reflected, and there is no final XOR value. These differences
|
|
make it easy to compose the values of multiple blocks.

@c argv.c:59
|

@deftypefn Extension char** dupargv (char * const *@var{vector})
|
|
|
|
Duplicate an argument vector. Simply scans through @var{vector},
|
|
duplicating each argument until the terminating @code{NULL} is found.
|
|
Returns a pointer to the argument vector if successful. Returns
|
|
@code{NULL} if there is insufficient memory to complete building the
|
|
argument vector.
|
|

|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@c strerror.c:572
|
|
@deftypefn Extension int errno_max (void)
|
|
|
|
Returns the maximum @code{errno} value for which a corresponding
|
|
symbolic name or message is available. Note that in the case where we
|
|
use the @code{sys_errlist} supplied by the system, it is possible for
|
|
there to be more symbolic names than messages, or vice versa. In
|
|
fact, the manual page for @code{perror(3C)} explicitly warns that one
|
|
should check the size of the table (@code{sys_nerr}) before indexing
|
|
it, since new error codes may be added to the system before they are
|
|
added to the table. Thus @code{sys_nerr} might be smaller than value
|
|
implied by the largest @code{errno} value defined in @code{<errno.h>}.
|
|
|
|
We return the maximum value that can be used to obtain a meaningful
|
|
symbolic name or message.

@c argv.c:344
|
|
@deftypefn Extension void expandargv (int *@var{argcp}, char ***@var{argvp})
|
|
|
|
The @var{argcp} and @code{argvp} arguments are pointers to the usual
|
|
@code{argc} and @code{argv} arguments to @code{main}. This function
|
|
looks for arguments that begin with the character @samp{@@}. Any such
|
|
arguments are interpreted as ``response files''. The contents of the
|
|
response file are interpreted as additional command line options. In
|
|
particular, the file is separated into whitespace-separated strings;
|
|
each such string is taken as a command-line option. The new options
|
|
are inserted in place of the option naming the response file, and
|
|
@code{*argcp} and @code{*argvp} will be updated. If the value of
|
|
@code{*argvp} is modified by this function, then the new value has
|
|
been dynamically allocated and can be deallocated by the caller with
|
|
@code{freeargv}. However, most callers will simply call
|
|
@code{expandargv} near the beginning of @code{main} and allow the
|
|
operating system to free the memory when the program exits.

@c fdmatch.c:23
|
|
@deftypefn Extension int fdmatch (int @var{fd1}, int @var{fd2})
|
|
|
|
Check to see if two open file descriptors refer to the same file.
|
|
This is useful, for example, when we have an open file descriptor for
|
|
an unnamed file, and the name of a file that we believe to correspond
|
|
to that fd. This can happen when we are exec'd with an already open
|
|
file (@code{stdout} for example) or from the SVR4 @file{/proc} calls
|
|
that return open file descriptors for mapped address spaces. All we
|
|
have to do is open the file by name and check the two file descriptors
|
|
for a match, which is done by comparing major and minor device numbers
|
|
and inode numbers.

@deftypefn Extension {FILE *} fdopen_unlocked (int @var{fildes}, @

|
Opens and returns a @code{FILE} pointer via @code{fdopen}. If the

any multi-threaded locking. Otherwise return the @code{FILE} pointer

@c ffs.c:3

|
|
|
|
Find the first (least significant) bit set in @var{valu}. Bits are

|
numbered from right to left, starting with bit 1 (corresponding to the
|
|
value 1). If @var{valu} is zero, zero is returned.

@c filename_cmp.c:37
|

@deftypefn Extension int filename_cmp (const char *@var{s1}, const char *@var{s2})
|
|
|
|
Return zero if the two file names @var{s1} and @var{s2} are equivalent.
|
|
If not equivalent, the returned value is similar to what @code{strcmp}
|
|
would return. In other words, it returns a negative value if @var{s1}
|
|
is less than @var{s2}, or a positive value if @var{s2} is greater than
|
|
@var{s2}.
|
|
|
|
This function does not normalize file names. As a result, this function
|
|
will treat filenames that are spelled differently as different even in
|
|
the case when the two filenames point to the same underlying file.

|
However, it does handle the fact that on DOS-like file systems, forward

in range @var{n}.

|
|
|
|
Matches @var{string} against @var{pattern}, returning zero if it
|
|
matches, @code{FNM_NOMATCH} if not. @var{pattern} may contain the
|
|
wildcards @code{?} to match any one character, @code{*} to match any
|
|
zero or more characters, or a set of alternate characters in square
|
|
brackets, like @samp{[a-gt8]}, which match one character (@code{a}
|
|
through @code{g}, or @code{t}, or @code{8}, in this example) if that one
|
|
character is in the set. A set may be inverted (i.e., match anything
|
|
except what's in the set) by giving @code{^} or @code{!} as the first
|
|
character in the set. To include those characters in the set, list them
|
|
as anything other than the first character of the set. To include a
|
|
dash in the set, list it last in the set. A backslash character makes
|
|
the following character not special, so for example you could match
|
|
against a literal asterisk with @samp{\*}. To match a literal
|
|
backslash, use @samp{\\}.
|
|
|
|
@code{flags} controls various aspects of the matching process, and is a

|
|
@table @code
|

@item FNM_NOESCAPE
|

Do not interpret backslashes as quoting the following special character.

A leading period (at the beginning of @var{string}, or if

@code{FNM_PATHNAME} after a slash) is not matched by @code{*} or
|
|
@code{?} but must be matched explicitly.
|
|
|
|
@item FNM_LEADING_DIR
|
|
Means that @var{string} also matches @var{pattern} if some initial part
|
|
of @var{string} matches, and is followed by @code{/} and zero or more

|
characters. For example, @samp{foo*} would match either @samp{foobar}

@c hex.c:33
|
|
@deftypefn Extension void hex_init (void)
|
|
|
|
Initializes the array mapping the current character set to
|
|
corresponding hex values. This function must be called before any
|
|
call to @code{hex_p} or @code{hex_value}. If you fail to call it, a
|
|
default ASCII-based table will normally be used on ASCII systems.
|

@end deftypefn
|

@c hex.c:42
|
|
@deftypefn Extension int hex_p (int @var{c})
|
|
|
|
Evaluates to non-zero if the given character is a valid hex character,
|
|
or zero if it is not. Note that the value you pass will be cast to
|
|
@code{unsigned char} within the macro.
|
|

|
|
|
|
@c hex.c:50
|
|
@deftypefn Extension {unsigned int} hex_value (int @var{c})
|
|
|
|
Returns the numeric equivalent of the given character when interpreted
|
|
as a hexadecimal digit. The result is undefined if you pass an
|
|
invalid hex digit. Note that the value you pass will be cast to
|
|
@code{unsigned char} within the macro.
|
|
|
|
The @code{hex_value} macro returns @code{unsigned int}, rather than
|
|
signed @code{int}, to make it easier to use in parsing addresses from
|
|
hex dump files: a signed @code{int} would be sign-extended when
|
|
converted to a wider unsigned type --- like @code{bfd_vma}, on some
|
|
systems.

@defvr Extension HOST_CHARSET
|
|
This macro indicates the basic character set and encoding used by the
|
|
host: more precisely, the encoding used for character constants in
|
|
preprocessor @samp{#if} statements (the C "execution character set").
|
|
It is defined by @file{safe-ctype.h}, and will be an integer constant
|
|
with one of the following values:
|
|
|
|
@ftable @code
|
|
@item HOST_CHARSET_UNKNOWN
|
|
The host character set is unknown - that is, not one of the next two
|
|
possibilities.
|
|
|
|
@item HOST_CHARSET_ASCII
|
|
The host character set is ASCII.
|
|
|
|
@item HOST_CHARSET_EBCDIC
|
|
The host character set is some variant of EBCDIC. (Only one of the
|
|
nineteen EBCDIC varying characters is tested; exercise caution.)

|
|
htab_alloc @var{alloc_tab_f}, htab_alloc @var{alloc_f}, @
|
|
htab_free @var{free_f})
|
|
|
|
This function creates a hash table that uses two different allocators
|
|
@var{alloc_tab_f} and @var{alloc_f} to use for allocating the table itself
|
|
and its entries respectively. This is useful when variables of different
|
|
types need to be allocated with different allocators.
|
|
|
|
The created hash table is slightly larger than @var{size} and it is
|
|
initially empty (all the hash table entries are @code{HTAB_EMPTY_ENTRY}).
|
|
The function returns the created hash table, or @code{NULL} if memory
|
|
allocation fails.

Routines to manipulate queues built from doubly linked lists. The

after @var{pred}. The @code{remque} routine removes @var{elem} from

its containing queue. These routines expect to be passed pointers to

back pointer, like this prototype (although no prototype is provided):

These twelve macros are defined by @file{safe-ctype.h}. Each has the

same meaning as the corresponding macro (with name in lowercase)
|
|
defined by the standard header @file{ctype.h}. For example,
|
|
@code{ISALPHA} returns true for alphabetic characters and false for
|
|
others. However, there are two differences between these macros and
|
|
those provided by @file{ctype.h}:
|
|
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item These macros are guaranteed to have well-defined behavior for all
|
|
values representable by @code{signed char} and @code{unsigned char}, and
|
|
for @code{EOF}.
|
|
|
|
@item These macros ignore the current locale; they are true for these
|
|
fixed sets of characters:
|
|
@multitable {@code{XDIGIT}} {yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada}
|

Note that, if the host character set is ASCII or a superset thereof,

all these macros will return false for all values of @code{char} outside

false for characters with numeric values from 128 to 255.

@c lbasename.c:23

@deftypefn Replacement {const char*} lbasename (const char *@var{name})
|
|
|
|
Given a pointer to a string containing a typical pathname
|
|
(@samp{/usr/src/cmd/ls/ls.c} for example), returns a pointer to the
|
|
last component of the pathname (@samp{ls.c} in this case). The
|
|
returned pointer is guaranteed to lie within the original
|
|
string. This latter fact is not true of many vendor C
|
|
libraries, which return special strings or modify the passed
|
|
strings for particular input.
|
|
|
|
In particular, the empty string returns the same empty string,
|
|
and a path ending in @code{/} returns the empty string after it.

@c lrealpath.c:25

@deftypefn Replacement {const char*} lrealpath (const char *@var{name})
|
|
|
|
Given a pointer to a string containing a pathname, returns a canonical
|
|
version of the filename. Symlinks will be resolved, and ``.'' and ``..''
|
|
components will be simplified. The returned value will be allocated using
|
|
@code{malloc}, or @code{NULL} will be returned on a memory allocation error.

|
@deftypefn Extension {const char*} make_relative_prefix (const char *@var{progname}, @

const char *@var{bin_prefix}, const char *@var{prefix})
|
|
|
|
Given three paths @var{progname}, @var{bin_prefix}, @var{prefix},
|
|
return the path that is in the same position relative to
|
|
@var{progname}'s directory as @var{prefix} is relative to
|
|
@var{bin_prefix}. That is, a string starting with the directory
|
|
portion of @var{progname}, followed by a relative pathname of the
|
|
difference between @var{bin_prefix} and @var{prefix}.
|
|
|
|
If @var{progname} does not contain any directory separators,
|
|
@code{make_relative_prefix} will search @env{PATH} to find a program
|
|
named @var{progname}. Also, if @var{progname} is a symbolic link,
|
|
the symbolic link will be resolved.
|
|
|
|
For example, if @var{bin_prefix} is @code{/alpha/beta/gamma/gcc/delta},
|
|
@var{prefix} is @code{/alpha/beta/gamma/omega/}, and @var{progname} is
|
|
@code{/red/green/blue/gcc}, then this function will return
|
|
@code{/red/green/blue/../../omega/}.
|
|

The return value is normally allocated via @code{malloc}. If no

Return a temporary file name (as a string) or @code{NULL} if unable to

string is @code{malloc}ed, and the temporary file has been created.

|
This function searches memory starting at @code{*@var{s}} for the
|
|
character @var{c}. The search only ends with the first occurrence of
|
|
@var{c}, or after @var{length} characters; in particular, a null
|
|
character does not terminate the search. If the character @var{c} is
|
|
found within @var{length} characters of @code{*@var{s}}, a pointer

to the character is returned. If @var{c} is not found, then @code{NULL} is

Compares the first @var{count} bytes of two areas of memory. Returns
|
|
zero if they are the same, a value less than zero if @var{x} is
|
|
lexically less than @var{y}, or a value greater than zero if @var{x}
|

|
|
|
@example

Return a stream @var{fp} for a pipe connected to the standard input of

the first program in the pipeline; @var{fp} is opened for writing.
|
|
You must have passed @code{PEX_USE_PIPES} to the @code{pex_init} call

There are two opportunities for deadlock using

@code{pex_input_pipe}:

|
|
@itemize @bullet
|

@item
|
|
Most systems' pipes can buffer only a fixed amount of data; a process
|
|
that writes to a full pipe blocks. Thus, if you write to @file{fp}
|
|
before starting the first process, you run the risk of blocking when
|
|
there is no child process yet to read the data and allow you to
|
|
continue. @code{pex_input_pipe} makes no promises about the
|
|
size of the pipe's buffer, so if you need to write any data at all
|
|
before starting the first process in the pipeline, consider using
|
|
@code{pex_input_file} instead.

program in the pipeline is waiting for the next to read more data, and

you fill the input pipe by writing more data to @var{fp}, then there

is no way to make progress: the only process that could read data from

the output pipe is you, but you are blocked on the input pipe.

Execute one program in a pipeline. On success this returns

@code{NULL}. On failure it returns an error message, a statically
|
|
allocated string.
|
|
|
|
@var{obj} is returned by a previous call to @code{pex_init}.

@var{flags} is a bitwise combination of the following:
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
@vindex PEX_LAST
|
|
@item PEX_LAST
|
|
This must be set on the last program in the pipeline. In particular,
|
|
it should be set when executing a single program. The standard output
|
|
of the program will be sent to @var{outname}, or, if @var{outname} is
|
|
@code{NULL}, to the standard output of the calling program. Do @emph{not}
|
|
set this bit if you want to call @code{pex_read_output}
|
|
(described below). After a call to @code{pex_run} with this bit set,
|
|
@var{pex_run} may no longer be called with the same @var{obj}.
|
|
|
|
@vindex PEX_SEARCH
|
|
@item PEX_SEARCH
|
|
Search for the program using the user's executable search path.
|
|
|
|
@vindex PEX_SUFFIX
|
|
@item PEX_SUFFIX
|
|
@var{outname} is a suffix. See the description of @var{outname},
|

below.
|
|
|
|
@vindex PEX_STDERR_TO_STDOUT
|

Send the program's standard error to standard output, if possible.
|
|
|

@vindex PEX_BINARY_INPUT
|
|
@vindex PEX_BINARY_OUTPUT
|
|
@vindex PEX_BINARY_ERROR
|
|
@item PEX_BINARY_INPUT
|
|
@itemx PEX_BINARY_OUTPUT
|
|
@itemx PEX_BINARY_ERROR
|
|
The standard input (output or error) of the program should be read (written) in
|
|
binary mode rather than text mode. These flags are ignored on systems
|
|
which do not distinguish binary mode and text mode, such as Unix. For
|
|
proper behavior these flags should match appropriately---a call to
|
|
@code{pex_run} using @code{PEX_BINARY_OUTPUT} should be followed by a
|
|
call using @code{PEX_BINARY_INPUT}.
|
|
|
|
@vindex PEX_STDERR_TO_PIPE
|
|
@item PEX_STDERR_TO_PIPE
|
|
Send the program's standard error to a pipe, if possible. This flag
|
|
cannot be specified together with @code{PEX_STDERR_TO_STDOUT}. This
|
|
flag can be specified only on the last program in pipeline.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@var{executable} is the program to execute. @var{argv} is the set of
|
|
arguments to pass to the program; normally @code{@var{argv}[0]} will
|
|
be a copy of @var{executable}.
|
|
|
|
@var{outname} is used to set the name of the file to use for standard
|
|
output. There are two cases in which no output file will be used:
|
|
|
|
@enumerate
|
|
@item
|
|
if @code{PEX_LAST} is not set in @var{flags}, and @code{PEX_USE_PIPES}
|
|
was set in the call to @code{pex_init}, and the system supports pipes
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
if @code{PEX_LAST} is set in @var{flags}, and @var{outname} is
|
|
@code{NULL}
|
|
@end enumerate
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
Otherwise the code will use a file to hold standard
|
|
output. If @code{PEX_LAST} is not set, this file is considered to be
|
|
a temporary file, and it will be removed when no longer needed, unless
|
|
@code{PEX_SAVE_TEMPS} was set in the call to @code{pex_init}.
|
|
|
|
There are two cases to consider when setting the name of the file to
|
|
hold standard output.
|
|
|
|
@enumerate
|
|
@item
|
|
@code{PEX_SUFFIX} is set in @var{flags}. In this case
|
|
@var{outname} may not be @code{NULL}. If the @var{tempbase} parameter
|
|
to @code{pex_init} was not @code{NULL}, then the output file name is
|
|
the concatenation of @var{tempbase} and @var{outname}. If
|
|
@var{tempbase} was @code{NULL}, then the output file name is a random
|
|
file name ending in @var{outname}.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
@code{PEX_SUFFIX} was not set in @var{flags}. In this
|
|
case, if @var{outname} is not @code{NULL}, it is used as the output
|
|
file name. If @var{outname} is @code{NULL}, and @var{tempbase} was
|
|
not NULL, the output file name is randomly chosen using
|
|
@var{tempbase}. Otherwise the output file name is chosen completely
|
|
at random.
|
|
@end enumerate
|
|
|
|
@var{errname} is the file name to use for standard error output. If
|
|
it is @code{NULL}, standard error is the same as the caller's.
|
|
Otherwise, standard error is written to the named file.
|
|
|
|
On an error return, the code sets @code{*@var{err}} to an @code{errno}
|
|
value, or to 0 if there is no relevant @code{errno}.

be more symbolic names than messages, or vice versa. In fact, the

|
check the size of the table (@code{NSIG}) before indexing it, since

|
new signal codes may be added to the system before they are added to

the table. Thus @code{NSIG} might be smaller than value implied by

@var{tree_allocate_fn} and @var{node_allocate_fn} to use for allocating the

tree itself and its nodes respectively. This is useful when variables of

The splay tree will use @var{compare_fn} to compare nodes,

@var{delete_key_fn} to deallocate keys, and @var{delete_value_fn} to
|
|
deallocate values. Keys and values will be deallocated when the

tree is deleted using splay_tree_delete or when a node is removed

using splay_tree_remove. splay_tree_insert will release the previously

@c strverscmp.c:25

@deftypefun int strverscmp (const char *@var{s1}, const char *@var{s2})
|
|
The @code{strverscmp} function compares the string @var{s1} against
|
|
@var{s2}, considering them as holding indices/version numbers. Return
|
|
value follows the same conventions as found in the @code{strverscmp}
|
|
function. In fact, if @var{s1} and @var{s2} contain no digits,
|
|
@code{strverscmp} behaves like @code{strcmp}.
|
|
|
|
Basically, we compare strings normally (character by character), until
|
|
we find a digit in each string - then we enter a special comparison
|
|
mode, where each sequence of digits is taken as a whole. If we reach the
|
|
end of these two parts without noticing a difference, we return to the
|
|
standard comparison mode. There are two types of numeric parts:
|
|
"integral" and "fractional" (those begin with a '0'). The types
|
|
of the numeric parts affect the way we sort them:
|
|
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item
|
|
integral/integral: we compare values as you would expect.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
fractional/integral: the fractional part is less than the integral one.
|
|
Again, no surprise.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
fractional/fractional: the things become a bit more complex.
|
|
If the common prefix contains only leading zeroes, the longest part is less
|
|
than the other one; else the comparison behaves normally.

@deftypefn Extension int vasprintf (char **@var{resptr}, @
|
|
const char *@var{format}, va_list @var{args})
|
|
|
|
Like @code{vsprintf}, but instead of passing a pointer to a buffer,
|
|
you pass a pointer to a pointer. This function will compute the size
|
|
of the buffer needed, allocate memory with @code{malloc}, and store a
|
|
pointer to the allocated memory in @code{*@var{resptr}}. The value
|
|
returned is the same as @code{vsprintf} would return. If memory could
|
|
not be allocated, minus one is returned and @code{NULL} is stored in
|
|
@code{*@var{resptr}}.

@c vfork.c:6
|
|
@deftypefn Supplemental int vfork (void)
|
|
|
|
Emulates @code{vfork} by calling @code{fork} and returning its value.
|
|
|
|
@end deftypefn

@c vprintf.c:3
|
|
@deftypefn Supplemental int vprintf (const char *@var{format}, va_list @var{ap})
|
|
@deftypefnx Supplemental int vfprintf (FILE *@var{stream}, @
|
|
const char *@var{format}, va_list @var{ap})
|
|
@deftypefnx Supplemental int vsprintf (char *@var{str}, @
|
|
const char *@var{format}, va_list @var{ap})
|
|
|
|
These functions are the same as @code{printf}, @code{fprintf}, and
|
|
@code{sprintf}, respectively, except that they are called with a
|
|
@code{va_list} instead of a variable number of arguments. Note that
|
|
they do not call @code{va_end}; this is the application's
|
|
responsibility. In @libib{} they are implemented in terms of the
|
|
nonstandard but common function @code{_doprnt}.
|

@c vsnprintf.c:28
|
|
@deftypefn Supplemental int vsnprintf (char *@var{buf}, size_t @var{n}, @
|
|
const char *@var{format}, va_list @var{ap})
|
|
|
|
This function is similar to @code{vsprintf}, but it will write to
|
|
@var{buf} at most @code{@var{n}-1} bytes of text, followed by a
|
|
terminating null byte, for a total of @var{n} bytes. On error the
|
|
return value is -1, otherwise it returns the number of characters that
|
|
would have been printed had @var{n} been sufficiently large,
|
|
regardless of the actual value of @var{n}. Note some pre-C99 system
|
|
libraries do not implement this correctly so users cannot generally
|
|
rely on the return value if the system version of this function is
|
|
used.

|
|
|
|
@c waitpid.c:3
|
|
@deftypefn Supplemental int waitpid (int @var{pid}, int *@var{status}, int)
|
|
|
|
This is a wrapper around the @code{wait} function. Any ``special''
|
|
values of @var{pid} depend on your implementation of @code{wait}, as
|
|
does the return value. The third argument is unused in @libib{}.

|
|
|
@c argv.c:289
|
|
@deftypefn Extension int writeargv (char * const *@var{argv}, FILE *@var{file})
|
|
|
|
Write each member of ARGV, handling all necessary quoting, to the file
|
|
named by FILE, separated by whitespace. Return 0 on success, non-zero
|
|
if an error occurred while writing to FILE.
|
|

|
|
|
|
@c xasprintf.c:31
|
|
@deftypefn Replacement char* xasprintf (const char *@var{format}, ...)
|
|
|
|
Print to allocated string without fail. If @code{xasprintf} fails,
|
|
this will print a message to @code{stderr} (using the name set by
|
|
@code{xmalloc_set_program_name}, if any) and then call @code{xexit}.
|
|
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@c xatexit.c:11
|
|
@deftypefun int xatexit (void (*@var{fn}) (void))
|
|
|
|
Behaves as the standard @code{atexit} function, but with no limit on
|
|
the number of registered functions. Returns 0 on success, or @minus{}1 on
|
|
failure. If you use @code{xatexit} to register functions, you must use
|
|
@code{xexit} to terminate your program.
|
|
|
|
@end deftypefun

|
|
@c xmalloc.c:38
|
|
@deftypefn Replacement void* xcalloc (size_t @var{nelem}, size_t @var{elsize})
|
|
|
|
Allocate memory without fail, and set it to zero. This routine functions
|
|
like @code{calloc}, but will behave the same as @code{xmalloc} if memory
|
|
cannot be found.
|
|
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@c xexit.c:22
|
|
@deftypefn Replacement void xexit (int @var{code})
|
|
|
|
Terminates the program. If any functions have been registered with
|
|
the @code{xatexit} replacement function, they will be called first.
|
|
Termination is handled via the system's normal @code{exit} call.
|
|
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@c xmalloc.c:22
|
|
@deftypefn Replacement void* xmalloc (size_t)
|
|
|
|
Allocate memory without fail. If @code{malloc} fails, this will print
|
|
a message to @code{stderr} (using the name set by
|
|
@code{xmalloc_set_program_name},
|
|
if any) and then call @code{xexit}. Note that it is therefore safe for
|
|
a program to contain @code{#define malloc xmalloc} in its source.
|
|
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@c xmalloc.c:53
|
|
@deftypefn Replacement void xmalloc_failed (size_t)
|
|
|
|
This function is not meant to be called by client code, and is listed
|
|
here for completeness only. If any of the allocation routines fail, this
|
|
function will be called to print an error message and terminate execution.
|
|
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@c xmalloc.c:46
|
|
@deftypefn Replacement void xmalloc_set_program_name (const char *@var{name})
|
|
|
|
You can use this to set the name of the program used by
|
|
@code{xmalloc_failed} when printing a failure message.
|
|
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@c xmemdup.c:7
|
|
@deftypefn Replacement void* xmemdup (void *@var{input}, @
|
|
size_t @var{copy_size}, size_t @var{alloc_size})
|
|
|
|
Duplicates a region of memory without fail. First, @var{alloc_size} bytes
|
|
are allocated, then @var{copy_size} bytes from @var{input} are copied into
|
|
it, and the new memory is returned. If fewer bytes are copied than were
|
|
allocated, the remaining memory is zeroed.
|
|
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@c xmalloc.c:32
|
|
@deftypefn Replacement void* xrealloc (void *@var{ptr}, size_t @var{size})
|
|
Reallocate memory without fail. This routine functions like @code{realloc},
|
|
but will behave the same as @code{xmalloc} if memory cannot be found.
|
|
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@c xstrdup.c:7
|
|
@deftypefn Replacement char* xstrdup (const char *@var{s})
|
|
|
|
Duplicates a character string without fail, using @code{xmalloc} to
|
|
obtain memory.
|
|
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@c xstrerror.c:7
|
|
@deftypefn Replacement char* xstrerror (int @var{errnum})
|
|
|
|
Behaves exactly like the standard @code{strerror} function, but
|
|
will never return a @code{NULL} pointer.
|
|
|
|
@end deftypefn
|
|
|
|
@c xstrndup.c:23
|
|
@deftypefn Replacement char* xstrndup (const char *@var{s}, size_t @var{n})
|
|
|
|
Returns a pointer to a copy of @var{s} with at most @var{n} characters
|
|
without fail, using @code{xmalloc} to obtain memory. The result is
|
|
always NUL terminated.
|
|

|
|
@c xvasprintf.c:38
|
|
@deftypefn Replacement char* xvasprintf (const char *@var{format}, va_list @var{args})
|
|
|
|
Print to allocated string without fail. If @code{xvasprintf} fails,
|
|
this will print a message to @code{stderr} (using the name set by
|
|
@code{xmalloc_set_program_name}, if any) and then call @code{xexit}.
