- These are the changes done by the `patches' file:
-
- [These patches have been applied, more or less, so I don't supply the
- patches file--law]
-
- Compilation of some portions is done conditional on the definition
- of the following symbols:
-
- BINARY Enables the usage of setmode under MSDOS (added binmode command)
- BUGGY_MSC Adds #pragma_function(memset) to avoid internal compiler error
- CHOWN Enables chown
- CHROOT Enables chroot
- FORK Enables fork and changes the compilation of system
- GETLOGIN Enables getlogin
- GETPPID Enables getppid
- GROUP Enables all the group access functions
- KILL Enables kill
- LINK Enables link
- PASSWD Enables all the password access functions
- PIPE Enables the pipe function
- WAIT Enables the wait function
- UMASK Enables the umask function
-
- S_IFBLK * Enables the block special device check
- S_ISGID * Enables the setgid check
- S_ISUID * Enables the setuid check
- S_ISVTX * Enables the vtx check
- unix * Compiles globbing for Unix
- MSDOS * Compiles globbing for MS-DOS
- Closes stdaux and stdprn on startup
- Adds a copyright message for -v
- Disables the compilation of my_popen, my_pclose as the
- are in a separate file.
-
- Symbols marked with * are defined in the compilation environment. The
- rest should be added to config.h (config.h.SH). All functions when not
- supported give a fatal error.
-
- Added documentation for the binmode function in the manual.
-
- Fixed the following bugs:
-
- In eval.c function eval if ioctl or fcntl returned something
- other than 0 or -1 the result was a random number as the
- double `value' variable wasn't set to `anum'.
-
- In doio.c function do_exec there were two errors associated with
- firing up the shell when the execv fails. First argv was not freed,
- secondly an attempt was made to start up the shell with the cmd
- string that was now cut to pieces for the execv. Also the maxible
- possible length of argv was calculated by (s - cmd). Problem was
- that s was not pointing to the end of the string, but to the first
- non alpha.
-
- [These are incorporated in patches 15 and 16--law]
