- kstuff includes a whole bunch of stuff related to reading the kernel,
- including pff, a more portable, improved version of ofiles/fstat. Of
- long-term interest are the many kernel-reading libraries---you might
- never have to open kmem again. Also here is an updated release of my
- authd server and authuser client RFC 931 implementation, and as an extra
- bonus you get findinode, a user-level reverse namei for BSD systems with
- ndbm. I stole a few pieces of code from various versions of ofiles (as
- indicated in the source). Everything else here is public-domain.
-
- At various times various parts of kstuff have been run under each of
- these systems: SunOS 4.0.3, SunOS 4.1, Ultrix 2.2, Ultrix 4.1, BSD
- 4.3-Tahoe, Convex UNIX 9.0, Dynix 3.0.17. If you're interested in
- porting these programs or libraries to other BSD variants, get in touch
- with me. If you're brave enough to attempt a System V port, good luck.
-
- This is kstuff 0.18. Keep in mind that it's alpha software---it's not
- supposed to work, and if it happens to compile and install without a
- hitch on your machine, you should be happy. When you post constructive
- criticism of kstuff to alt.sources.d, remember that I don't consider the
- package finished. You shouldn't be complaining that the package doesn't
- do something. You should be explaining your needs and showing how kstuff
- 1.00 could fulfill them.
