* mdoc: order prologue macros consistently by Dd/Dt/Osuqs2010-04-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Although groff_mdoc(7) gives another impression, this is the ordering most widely used and also required by mdocml/mandoc. Reviewed by: ru Approved by: philip, ed (mentors)
* Move macros describing extended attributes in UFS frommckusick2007-03-061-55/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | <sys/extattr.h> to <ufs/ufs/extattr.h>. Move description of extended attributes in UFS from man9/extattr.9 to man5/fs.5. Note that restore will not compile until <sys/extattr.h> and <ufs/ufs/extattr.h> have been updated. Suggested by: Robert Watson

Also define some macros to manipulate one of these structures. Explain their use in the extattr.9 manual page. The next step will be to make a sweep through the kernel replacing the old pointer manipulation code. To get an idea of how they would be used, the ffs_findextattr() function in ufs/ffs/ffs_vnops.c is currently written as follows: /* * Vnode operating to retrieve a named extended attribute. * * Locate a particular EA (nspace:name) in the area (ptr:length), and return * the length of the EA, and possibly the pointer to the entry and to the data. */ static int ffs_findextattr(u_char *ptr, u_int length, int nspace, const char *name, u_char **eap, u_char **eac) { u_char *p, *pe, *pn, *p0; int eapad1, eapad2, ealength, ealen, nlen; uint32_t ul; pe = ptr + length; nlen = strlen(name); for (p = ptr; p < pe; p = pn) { p0 = p; bcopy(p, &ul, sizeof(ul)); pn = p + ul; /* make sure this entry is complete */ if (pn > pe) break; p += sizeof(uint32_t); if (*p != nspace) continue; p++; eapad2 = *p++; if (*p != nlen) continue; p++; if (bcmp(p, name, nlen)) continue; ealength = sizeof(uint32_t) + 3 + nlen; eapad1 = 8 - (ealength % 8); if (eapad1 == 8) eapad1 = 0; ealength += eapad1; ealen = ul - ealength - eapad2; p += nlen + eapad1; if (eap != NULL) *eap = p0; if (eac != NULL) *eac = p; return (ealen); } return(-1); } After applying the structure and macros, it would look like this: /* * Vnode operating to retrieve a named extended attribute. * * Locate a particular EA (nspace:name) in the area (ptr:length), and return * the length of the EA, and possibly the pointer to the entry and to the data. */ static int ffs_findextattr(u_char *ptr, u_int length, int nspace, const char *name, u_char **eapp, u_char **eac) { struct extattr *eap, *eaend; eaend = (struct extattr *)(ptr + length); for (eap = (struct extattr *)ptr; eap < eaend; eap = EXTATTR_NEXT(eap)){ /* make sure this entry is complete */ if (EXTATTR_NEXT(eap) > eaend) break; if (eap->ea_namespace != nspace || eap->ea_namelength != length || bcmp(eap->ea_name, name, length)) continue; if (eapp != NULL) *eapp = eap; if (eac != NULL) *eac = EXTATTR_CONTENT(eap); return (EXTATTR_CONTENT_SIZE(eap)); } return(-1); } Not only is it considerably shorter, but it hopefully more readable :-)
