Usage
This package contains /usr/lib/libbsd.a which is an RL of many
BSD functions from the NetBSD distribution ported to the HP3000. This package
also contains a forward compatible set of include files required to access the
functions in the library. Each of these include files has a reference to its
corresponding /usr/include file (if such exists). To use the library, add -lbsd
when linking. To use the includes, add -I/usr/include/bsd when compiling. When
using the header files, keep in mind that they have not been rigorously examined
for MPE compatibility. They work so far as to port things found on this server,
no guarantees. The headers in bsd/sys/* may not be used with KERNEL,
_KERNEL_BUILD, USE_OLD_TTY, or COMPAT_43 defined. These defines will cause the
headers to fail to compile or compile incorrectly. These defines are not
supported. The associated code has been left intact as a reference.
These options will cause the compiler to look in those locations prior to
looking elsewhere. Whenever a /usr/include/bsd exists, it will be used in place
of any corresponding /usr/include file. Nothing is lost, however, since each
/usr/include/bsd file also includes its /usr/include counterpart.
Maintenance
1/10/95 - Fixed syslog to use vfprintf. Added cuserid,
fchdir, ffs, ftime, readv, sighold, siginterrupt, sigrelse, sigignore, truncate
functions. 6/16/95 - Moved all includes from /bsd/include to /usr/include/bsd.
Added notes about restricting #defines in bsd/sys directory.
Installation instructions
- Use Mark Bixby's syslog.
- make sure you have a /usr/lib directory.
- create the /usr/include/bsd directory and cd to it.
- Download, ftp byte transfer and extract libbsd.tar.Z
