Tom Gundersen 12b42c7667 man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setups
This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream
introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a
downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the
current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release.

 * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the
   search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search
   path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is
   worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we
   could ship this.

 * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend
   on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing
   man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before
   we could ship with this patch.

 * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order
   to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start
   adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should
   probably question if it makes sense at all.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_is_fifo()</function> may be called to check
whether the specified file descriptor refers to a FIFO or pipe. If
the <parameter>path</parameter> parameter is not
<constant>NULL</constant>, it is checked whether the FIFO is bound
to the specified file system path.</para>
<para><function>sd_is_socket()</function> may be called to check
whether the specified file descriptor refers to a socket. If the
<parameter>family</parameter> parameter is not
<constant>AF_UNSPEC</constant>, it is checked whether the socket
is of the specified family (AF_UNIX, <constant>AF_INET</constant>,
...). If the <parameter>type</parameter> parameter is not 0, it is
checked whether the socket is of the specified type
(<constant>SOCK_STREAM</constant>,
<constant>SOCK_DGRAM</constant>, ...). If the
<parameter>listening</parameter> parameter is positive, it is
checked whether the socket is in accepting mode, i.e.
<function>listen()</function> has been called for it. If
<parameter>listening</parameter> is 0, it is checked whether the
socket is not in this mode. If the parameter is negative, no such
check is made. The <parameter>listening</parameter> parameter
should only be used for stream sockets and should be set to a
negative value otherwise.</para>
<para><function>sd_is_socket_inet()</function> is similar to
<function>sd_is_socket()</function>, but optionally checks the
IPv4 or IPv6 port number the socket is bound to, unless
<parameter>port</parameter> is zero. For this call
<parameter>family</parameter> must be passed as either
<constant>AF_UNSPEC</constant>, <constant>AF_INET</constant>, or
<constant>AF_INET6</constant>.</para>
<para><function>sd_is_socket_unix()</function> is similar to
<function>sd_is_socket()</function> but optionally checks the
<constant>AF_UNIX</constant> path the socket is bound to, unless
the <parameter>path</parameter> parameter is
<constant>NULL</constant>. For normal file system
<constant>AF_UNIX</constant> sockets, set the
<parameter>length</parameter> parameter to 0. For Linux abstract
namespace sockets, set the <parameter>length</parameter> to the
size of the address, including the initial 0 byte, and set the
<parameter>path</parameter> to the initial 0 byte of the socket
address.</para>
<para><function>sd_is_mq()</function> may be called to check
whether the specified file descriptor refers to a POSIX message
queue. If the <parameter>path</parameter> parameter is not
<constant>NULL</constant>, it is checked whether the message queue
is bound to the specified name.</para>
<para><function>sd_is_special()</function> may be called to check
whether the specified file descriptor refers to a special file. If
the <parameter>path</parameter> parameter is not
<constant>NULL</constant>, it is checked whether the file
descriptor is bound to the specified file name. Special files in
this context are character device nodes and files in
<filename>/proc</filename> or <filename>/sys</filename>.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error
code. If the file descriptor is of the specified type and bound to
the specified address, a positive return value is returned,
otherwise zero.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Notes</title>
<xi:include href="libsystemd-pkgconfig.xml" xpointer="pkgconfig-text"/>
<para>Internally, these function use a combination of
<filename>fstat()</filename> and
<filename>getsockname()</filename> to check the file descriptor
type and where it is bound to.</para>
