-[This file of Tom Christiansen's has been edited to change makelib to h2ph
-and .h to .ph where appropriate--law.]
-
-This directory contains files to help you convert the *.ph files generated my
-h2ph out of the perl source directory into *.pl files with all the
-indirection of the subroutine calls removed.  The .ph version will be more
-safely portable, because if something isn't defined on the new system, like
-&TIOCGETP, then you'll get a fatal run-time error on the system lacking that
-function.  Using the .pl version means that the subsequent scripts will give
-you a 0 $TIOCGETP and God only knows what may then happen.   Still, I like the
-.pl stuff because they're faster to load.
-
-FIrst, you need to run h2ph on things like sys/ioctl.h to get stuff
-into the perl library directory, often /usr/local/lib/perl.  For example,
-    # h2ph sys/ioctl.h
-takes /usr/include/sys/ioctl.h as input and writes (without i/o redirection)
-the file /usr/local/lib/perl/sys/ioctl.ph, which looks like this
-
-    eval 'sub TIOCM_RTS {0004;}';
-    eval 'sub TIOCM_ST {0010;}';
-    eval 'sub TIOCM_SR {0020;}';
-    eval 'sub TIOCM_CTS {0040;}';
-    eval 'sub TIOCM_CAR {0100;}';
-
-and much worse, rather than what Larry's ioctl.pl from the perl source dir has, 
-which is:
-
-    $TIOCM_RTS = 0004;
-    $TIOCM_ST = 0010;
-    $TIOCM_SR = 0020;
-    $TIOCM_CTS = 0040;
-    $TIOCM_CAR = 0100;
-
-[Workaround for fixed bug in makedir/h2ph deleted--law.]
-
-The more complicated ioctl subs look like this:
-
-    eval 'sub TIOCGSIZE {&TIOCGWINSZ;}';
-    eval 'sub TIOCGWINSZ {&_IOR("t", 104, \'struct winsize\');}';
-    eval 'sub TIOCSETD {&_IOW("t", 1, \'int\');}';
-    eval 'sub TIOCGETP {&_IOR("t", 8,\'struct sgttyb\');}';
-
-The _IO[RW] routines use a %sizeof array, which (presumably) 
-is keyed on the type name with the value being the size in bytes.  
-
-To build %sizeof, try running this in this directory:
-
-    % ./getioctlsizes 
-
-Which will tell you which things the %sizeof array needs
-to hold.  You can try to build a sizeof.ph file with:
-
-    % ./getioctlsizes | ./mksizes > sizeof.ph
-
-Note that mksizes hardcodes the #include files for all the types, so it will
-probably require customization.  Once you have sizeof.ph, install it in the
-perl library directory.  Run my tcbreak script to see whether you can do
-ioctls in perl now.  You'll get some kind of fatal run-time error if you
-can't.  That script should be included in this directory.
-
-If this works well, now you can try to convert the *.ph files into
-*.pl files.  Try this:
-
-    foreach file ( sysexits.ph sys/{errno.ph,ioctl.ph} )
-	./mkvars $file > t/$file:r.pl
-    end
-
-The last one will be the hardest.  If it works, should be able to 
-run tcbreak2 and have it work the same as tcbreak.
-
-Good luck.
