Quiet down 64-bit warnings

2009-03-15T04:18:33Z

The two patch-files below quiet down all 64-bit related warnings here.

Some of them, actually, seem like potential errors.

I intend to add these to FreeBSD's port of tclX.

Thanks!

pty, effective user/group, pivot_root, vfork

2008-03-21T12:44:19Z

This patch extends Tclx with the following commands:

id euser
id euserid
id egroup
id egroupid
Interface to seteuid/setegid
TESTED

id session
Interface to setsid
PARTIALLY TESTED

pty open ?-rdwr? ?-noctty?
pty grant channel
pty unlock channel
pty name channel
pty winsize ?cols rows?
Interface to grantpt, posix_openpt, ptsname, unlockpt & winsize get/set
Now Tcl can be used to write Terminal emulators and proper remote logging servers.
TESTED

rlimit resource ?softlimit hardlimit?
Interface to getrlimit/setrlimit
PARTIALLY TESTED

pivot_root newpath oldpath
Interface to pivot_root
NOT TESTED

vfork
Interface to vfork
NOT TESTED

Updated TclX.n

2008-01-14T11:26:01Z

This is a version of the TclX.n manual page that not only gets formatted correctly, but also gets scraped correctly by Tcl 8.5's manual page to HTML converter.

Requires Tcl 8.5's man.macros for *roff formatting to work.

Add getsid()/setsid() support

2007-02-09T19:47:57Z

I think I mailed this patch off quite some time ago,
but it seems to have been lost.

This patch adds support for getsid() and setsid() by
making these available as part of the 'id' command:

id process session ;# calls getsid()
id process session set ;# calls setsid()

The patch includes configure, doc, and code.

fix tclx configure with bash 3.1

2006-02-08T02:05:16Z

This patch fixes:
checking system version (for dynamic loading)...
../../tcl/unix/configure: line 7282: syntax error
near unexpected token `('
../../tcl/unix/configure: line 7282: ` case
`(ac_space=' '; set | grep
ac_space) 2>&1` in'

due to a mismatched quote in tclconfig.m4.

Thanks to Pete Klemm who found the fix.

after patching, must
rm .configure && autoreconf

ERR* flags patch

2004-11-15T17:25:20Z

here's a patch to restore TclX ability
to compile against Tcl 8.5 headers
that no longer define the ERROR_CODE_SET
and ERR_IN_PROGRESS flag values.

Doc improvement for host_info command

2003-09-03T13:56:28Z

The same information is repeated in two places, and
it's difficult to read.

I have attached a patch that fixes this and several
spelling errors elsewhere.

host_info addresses host

host_info official_name host

host_info aliases host
Obtain information about a internet
host. The argument host can
be either a host name or an IP address.

The following subcommands are recognized:

addresses
Return the list of IP addresses
for host.

official_name
Return official name for host.

aliases
Return the list of aliases for
host. (Note that these
are IP number aliases, not DNS
CNAME aliases. See ifcon-
fig(2).)

use LD_SEARCH_FLAGS in tk/unix/Makefile.in

2003-03-28T15:48:12Z

8.3.* tcl/kConfig.sh doesn't define TCL/K_CC_SEARCH_FLAGS
(as 8.4 does)

so use _LD_SEARCH_FLAGS just like
../../tcl/unix/Makefile.in does

Use the public Tcl_RegExp API

2002-10-30T15:51:33Z

The attached patch changes fileparse to
use the public Tcll_RegExp interface instead
of the private TclRegexp.

It is one more step towards building TclX
without Tcl sources at hand.

Spell check + doc update for kill on win

2002-10-16T06:28:49Z

I went through TclX.n with a spell checker.

Of more importance, I also updated the man page and
source code to reflect the fact that kill does indeed
work on windows, despite not being able to do arbitrary
signals.
