3 * UnixSignal.cs: Change the native WaitAny() method to accept a
4 Mono_Posix_RuntimeIsShuttingDown delegate, so that we can prevent an
5 infinite loop while shutting the process down. Fixes #592981.
7 2009-03-23 Jonathan Pryor <jpryor@novell.com>
9 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: UnixDriveInfo.AvailableFreeSpace needs to return
10 stat.f_bavail * stat.f_frsize, NOT f_bavail*f_bsize, as on some
11 platforms (Solaris) bsize is the preferred block I/O size, while
12 f_frsize is the *actual* filesystem block size. Thus, to get proper
13 disk under Solaris, we need to s/f_bsize/f_frsize/g.
15 2009-02-20 Jonathan Pryor <jpryor@novell.com>
17 * UnixSignal.cs: Add a pipecnt member to UnixSignal.SignalIinfo.
18 Patch thanks to tim.jenks@realtimeworlds.com.
20 2009-02-09 Jonathan Pryor <jpryor@novell.com>
22 * UnixGroupInfo.cs (GetMembers): Skip group members which aren't valid
23 users on the system (thus removing a possible exception). Patch
24 thanks to Daniel Peñalba.
26 2009-01-08 Rodrigo Kumpera <rkumpera@novell.com>
28 * UnixSignal.cs: Check if realtime signal install failed with
29 EADDRINUSE due to the signal been used by outside of Mono.Posix.
31 2008-12-19 Jonathan Pryor <jpryor@novell.com>
33 * UnixSignal.cs: Allow RealTimeSignums to be used in addition to
34 Signum, so that real time signals can be used. Patch thanks to
35 tim.jenks@realtimeworlds.com.
37 2008-11-04 Andrés G. Aragoneses <aaragoneses@novell.com>
39 * UnixStream.cs: Do not check offset against int.MaxValue
40 (System.IO doesn't have it). Reviewed by Jonathan Pryor.
41 Bug reported by Siro Blanco <siro.blanco@gmail.com>.
43 2008-11-03 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@novell.com>
45 * UnixClient.cs (Client): Make this property public when using the
46 Mono 2.0 profile, based on a discussion with Vlad Hociota and Joe
49 2008-02-11 Jonathan Pryor <jpryor@novell.com>
51 * UnixSignal.cs: Improve argument checking to match docs.
53 2008-02-08 Jonathan Pryor <jpryor@novell.com>
55 * UnixSignal.cs: UnixSignal.WaitAny() should have the same return type as
56 WaitHandle.WaitAny(). Oops.
58 2008-02-08 Jonathan Pryor <jpryor@novell.com>
60 * UnixSignal.cs: Modification of Info->count should be thread safe.
62 2008-01-28 Jonathan Pryor <jpryor@novell.com>
64 * UnixSignal.cs: Added; Polling and blocking based Unix signal mechanism.
65 http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-devel-list/2008-January/026501.html
67 2008-01-22 Sebastien Pouliot <sebastien@ximian.com>
69 * UnixPipes.cs: Fix Equals to avoid NRE (and return false if object
70 is null). Found using Gendarme.
72 2007-12-17 Jonathan Pryor <jpryor@novell.com>
74 * UnixEnvironment.cs: Update MachineName property accesor to use uname(2)
75 instead of gethostname(2), as gethostname(2) truncates the machine name to
76 16 characters, while uname(2) doesn't.
78 2007-12-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
80 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: Fix Parent property so that it properly handles
81 returning the parent of "/". UnixPath.GetDirectoryName() returns "" on
82 "error", not null; act accordingly.
83 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: Fix IsReady property so that it returns `false' if no
84 media is mounted. The presence of media is determined by comparing the
85 Statvfs.f_fsid value of the current and parent directories; if they
86 differ, it is assumed that media is present, and thus the directory is
87 ready. If they're identical, then media isn't present, and the directory
89 * UnixPath.cs: UnixPath.GetDirectoryName("/mnt") should return "/", not "".
91 2007-09-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
93 * UnixStream.cs: Don't read/write if the buffer has no data. Fixes #82836.
95 2006-10-24 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
97 * MapAttribute.cs: Moved to ../Mono.Unix.Native/MapAttribute.cs.
99 2006-08-21 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
101 * UnixStream.cs: .Close() shouldn't close(2) the fd unless owner==true;
102 .Flush() should be a no-op (as System.IO.Stream.Flush doesn't gaurantee
103 that .Flush() actually flush to disk, and .Flush() slows things down a
104 lot); see: http://joeshaw.org/2006/08/21/415.
106 2006-08-16 Alp Toker <alp@atoker.com>
109 * AbstractUnixEndPoint.cs: Second half of the fix for #79084.
110 Add support for the abstract namespace, and update existing file-based
111 UnixEndPoint (de)serialization to reflect changes in the runtime.
113 2006-07-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
115 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Oops. CreateSymbolicLinkTo() should create
116 FullPath, not OriginalName. This was fixed in one overload in January,
117 but I missed an overload. :-/
119 2006-07-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
121 * UnixPath.cs: Follow .NET's System.IO.Path.Combine() behavior, and "reset"
122 the generated path if any argument beings with a path root --
123 UnixPath.Combine("/a", "/b") should return "/b", not "/a/b". Fixes #78580.
125 2006-04-21 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
127 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: rename Create() to GetFileSystemEntry(), and make
128 it public (so that other's don't need to worry about the
129 Syscall.lstat()-and-switch to create a UnixFileSystemInfo instance).
130 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
131 s/Create/GetFileSystemEntry/g (to cope with above change).
133 2006-03-09 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
135 * UnixEndPoint.cs: added GetHashCode/Equals.
137 2006-03-06 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
139 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: Remove requirement that mountPoints be avaible via
140 getfsfile(3). This isn't always the case -- in particular drives mounted
141 via HAL and other mechanisms won't be listed in /etc/fstab, and thus won't
142 be returned via getfsfile(3). If getfsfile(3) fails, then we "guess" on
143 the drive format and volume label.
144 * UnixStream.cs: RefreshStat() should assert that the instance hasn't been
146 * UnixEnvironment.cs (GetConfigurationValue, GetConfigurationString): Fix
149 2006-02-23 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
151 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Create() should return a UnixFileInfo if the file
152 doesn't exist. This allows callers to use UnixFileInfo.Exists to see if
153 the file exists, and behaves more rationally e.g. if the directory
154 contents changes while calling UnixDirectoryInfo.GetFileSystemEntries(),
155 we'll get a UnixFileInfo entry that doesn't exist instead of an exception
156 terminating the entire array creation.
157 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: [Obsolete] the Contents property -- this property
158 *always* creates a new object if HasContents=true, and since a
159 UnixFileSystemInfo instance is (104+2*(sizeof(void*))+1) bytes (~113 bytes
160 on 32-bit platforms), we don't want to create these frequently. Add a
161 GetContents() method as the replacement, to make it (slightly) more
162 explicit that information won't be cached (and thus should be cached by
163 the caller, if appropriate). GetContents() throws an exception if
164 HasContents=false instead of returning null; this change brings the
165 implementation in line with the documentation.
167 2006-02-18 Alp Toker <alp@atoker.com>
169 * UnixEndPoint.cs: Avoid truncation of last two bytes of SocketAddress
172 2006-01-26 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
174 * UnixMarshal.cs: Check for null arguments in PtrToString() and
177 2006-01-24 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
179 * UnixMarshal.cs (StringToHeap): Return IntPtr.Zero if `s' is null.
181 2006-01-24 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
183 * UnixMarshal.cs (StringToHeap): Check for null arguments.
185 2006-01-20 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
187 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: Properties should generate an InvalidOperationException,
188 not an IOException. Users can use IsReady to avoid exception generation.
189 * UnixIOException.cs: Create a custom message that embeds the error name
190 within the text, e.g. "Permission denied [EACCES]."
191 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: This really should create the file FullPath, not
192 OriginalPath. Created files shouldn't ever be relative to the current
193 working directory, as this can change at any time.
195 2006-01-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
197 * UnixUserInfo.cs: The UnixUserInfo(Native.Passwd) constructor and
198 ToPasswd() should clone the underlying Native.Passwd, so
199 that it doesn't get changed from underneath it.
200 * UnixGroupInfo.cs: The UnixGroupInfo(Native.Group) constructor should also
201 clone the provided Native.Group instance.
203 2006-01-14 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
205 * UnixGroupInfo.cs: ToGroup() should clone the underlying Native.Group, so
206 that it doesn't get changed from underneath it.
208 2006-01-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
210 * Catalog.cs, UnixMarshal.cs: Throw `UnixIOException(Native.Errno.ENOMEM)`
211 instead of System.OutOfMemoryException. OOME should be reserved for use
212 by the CLR (according to FxDG).
214 2006-01-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
216 * UnixPath.cs: Add ReadLink() and TryReadLink() methods.
218 2006-01-12 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@novell.com>
220 * PeerCred.cs: Do not define PeerCredData as this is a structure
221 known to the runtime. Instead use the Mono.Posix.PeerCredData
224 2006-01-10 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
226 * Catalog.cs: Don't use
227 System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.StringToHGlobalAuto(), use
228 UnixMarshal.StringToHeap(). We require that the converted string be in
229 UTF-8 format, but .NET's Marshal.StringToHGlobalAuto converts to the local
230 code page, *not* UTF-8 (Mono's does UTF-8). UnixMarshal.StringToHeap
231 *always* does UTF-8, so use that instead.
233 2006-01-09 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
235 * FileTypes.cs: Remove [Flags] attribute -- these aren't bitfield values.
236 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Fix Is<<Type>> properties -- before it would
237 erroneously say that a symlink was a character device. (This is because
238 device values are *not* [Flags] values, but code was assuming they were.)
239 * UnixGroupInfo.cs: Clone the string[] returned from GetMemberNames(). We
240 don't want callers to change the underlying list.
242 2006-01-07 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
244 * UnixMarshal.cs: *Actually* put things in alphabetical order (like the
245 comment says). I can speak english, really I can.
247 2006-01-06 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
249 * Catalog.cs: s/libintl/intl/g, since intl.dll is used by GTK+ on Windows,
250 not libintl.dll (according to
251 http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html).
253 2006-01-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
255 * UnixMarshal.cs (CreateExceptionForError): Don't map ENOMEM to
256 System.OutOfMemoryException. OOME should be reserved for use by the CLR.
257 Return a UnixIOException instead (default behavior).
259 2006-01-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
261 * StdioFileStream.cs: Shut up FxCop - add a GC.KeepAlive to
263 * UnixClient.cs, UnixListener.cs: Use System.MarshalByRefObject as the base
264 class. These types implement IDisposable and have a finalizer, so if an
265 instance of these types were sent to another AppDomain they'd previously
266 marshal by copy, which could lead to a double release of an unmanaged
267 resource -- potential badness. Using MarshalByRefObject fixes this.
269 2006-01-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
271 * UnixMarshal.cs: s/EACCESS/EACCES/g. I can't read.
273 2006-01-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
275 * StdioFileStream.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs,
276 UnixFileInfo.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs,
277 UnixIOException.cs, UnixMarshal.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs,
278 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Remove Obsolete API.
279 * CdeclFunction.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs, Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs,
280 UnixConvert.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixGroup.cs,
282 * UnixPath.cs: Remove InvalidPathChars; use GetInvalidPathChars() instead.
283 * FileTypes.cs: Remove Obsolete API
285 2006-01-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
287 * FileAccessPermissions.cs: Remove UserMask, GroupMask, OtherMask values.
288 * FileSpecialAttributes.cs: Remove AllAttributes member; it shouldn't be
289 public. Use UnixFileSystemInfo.AllSpecialAttributes instead.
290 * StdioFileStream.cs: Open files in binary mode, not text;
291 Fix exception message for StdioFileStream(path, mode) mode param check.
292 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: Add Create(FileAccessPermissions) overload; change
293 GetFileSystemEntries() to include the directory name that the files came
294 from (otherwise they're in the current working direcetory, which they
296 * UnixFileInfo.cs: Add Create(FileAccessPermissions) overload; Add better
297 argument checking to several Open() overloads.
298 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add AllSpecialAttributes, AllFileTypes members;
299 FullPath member should invalidate instance if path changes; Change return
300 type of GetFileStatus for maintenance/better documentation; ToStat()
301 should ensure that the instance is valid first.
302 * UnixMarshal.cs: Add additional Errno values to CreateExceptionForError();
303 reformat CreateExceptionForError for maintenance.
304 * UnixPath.cs: Obsolete InvalidPathChars -- FxCop never liked it, and now I
305 know why it didn't like it (thank you Framework Design Guidelines!).
306 * UnixStream.cs: Use UnixFileSystemInfo.AllSpecialAttributes, not
307 FileSpecialAttributes.AllAttributes (which was removed).
308 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Change return type of GetFileStatus().
310 2005-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
312 * FileHandleOperations.cs: Check for null references.
314 2005-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
316 * UnixMarshal.cs: Errno.EBADF should also trigger a ArgumentException.
318 2005-12-27 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
320 * FileHandleOperations.cs, FileTypes.cs, Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs,
321 UnixConvert.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs, UnixDriveInfo.cs,
322 UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs,
323 UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixIOException.cs, UnixMarshal.cs,
324 UnixPath.cs, UnixPipes.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs,
325 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs, UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Mark to-be-removed
326 API with [Obsolete(IsError=true)] (permits compiler assistance for finding
327 obsolete code); Migrate to the Mono.Unix.Native API.
328 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add non-Obsolete overloads for SaveFilePosition &
329 RestoreFilePosition (oops). Migrate to Mono.Unix.Native API.
331 2005-12-07 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
333 * UnixMarshal.cs: Add PtrToStringUnix() -- specialized PtrToString method
334 which is significantly faster than PtrToString(p, UnixEncoding.Instance).
335 Use System.String..ctor(sbyte*, int, int, Encoding) to avoid the byte[]
336 intermediate copy -- much faster. Fix PtrToString() so that it will
337 accept an IntPtr containing 0 characters, and don't duplicate strings
340 2005-11-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
342 * Catalog.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs, UnixDriveInfo.cs,
343 UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs,
344 UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs,
345 UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Change types of [Obsolete] members for
346 consistency and CLS compliance; Mono.Unix.Native type migration.
347 * FileTypes.cs: s/Special/Device/g (CharacterSpecial ==> CharacterDevice).
348 The *Special was a BSD convention, while UnixFileSystemInfo uses *Device
349 in property names, and these should be consistent. Changing the enum is
350 simpler than changing the UnixFileSystemInfo properties.
351 * UnixIOException.cs: s/error/errno/g (FxCop suggestion); change type of
353 * UnixMarshal.cs: s/error/errno/g (FxCop suggestion); Mono.Unix.Native
356 2005-11-08 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
358 * Catalog.cs: Exception safety improvements (don't let memory leak!); check
359 for errors with bindtextdomain(3) et. al.
361 2005-11-08 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
363 * UnixPipes.cs: Provide Equals, GetHashCode, and operator==/operator!= to
364 conform with FxCop guidelines for structures.
366 2005-11-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
368 * FileTypes.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: s/FIFO/Fifo/ to follow .NET
369 naming conventions (as reported by FxCop).
371 2005-11-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
373 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs, UnixDriveInfo.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs,
374 UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixUserInfoc.cs:
375 Obsolete statements now specify in what way the return type will change.
376 * IncludeAttribute.cs: Obsoleted. It's an error to use it now.
378 2005-11-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
380 * FileAccessPattern.cs: Change enumeration names to match Robert Love's more
381 sensible names from his FileAdvise class used in Beagle
382 (UseSoon --> PreLoad, WillNotUse --> FlushCache).
383 * FileHandleOperations.cs: Added; contains AdviseFileAccessPattern()
384 (moved from UnixFile.cs).
385 * UnixDirectory.cs: Obsolete the class; use UnixDirectoryInfo instead.
386 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: Add GetCurrentDirectory(), SetCurrentDirectory().
387 * UnixFile.cs: Obsolete the class; use UnixFileInfo, FileHandleOperations,
388 or UnixPipes instead.
389 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add ToStat() method.
390 * UnixGroup.cs: Obsolete the class; use UnixGroupInfo instead.
391 * UnixGroupInfo.cs: Obsolete & Replace constructor, add GetMemberNames(),
393 * UnixPipes.cs: Added (type moved from UnixFile.cs).
394 * UnixStream.cs: AdviseFileAccessPattern() uses FileHandleOperations now.
395 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Implement TryReadLink() to avoid constant buffer
396 re-sizing. Stevens states that the file size of the symlink is the number
397 of bytes needed to hold the symlink, so this should be faster.
398 * UnixUser.cs: Obsolete the class; use UnixUserInfo instead.
399 * UnixUserInfo.cs: Obsolete & Replace constructor; add useful static members
400 from UnixUser such as GetLoginName(), GetLocalUsers(), etc.
402 2005-10-27 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
404 * UnixEnvironment.cs: Add RealUser, RealGroup, EffectiveUser, EffectiveGroup
405 properties; [Obsolete] necessary methods and provide replacements.
406 * UnixStream.cs: Add OwnerUser(Id), OwnerGroup(Id) properties;
407 improve Stat handling.
409 2005-10-26 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
411 * UnixEncoding.cs: Change EscapeByte to 0x0000, as suggested by Michal
413 * UnixPath.cs: Remove '\0' from InvalidPathChars, since U+0000 is now used
414 as the path escape character for marshaling purposes.
416 2005-10-26 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
418 * UnixMarshal.cs: Obsolete heap-related methods to have a Heap suffix
419 (AllocHeap, FreeHeap, etc.), and change StringToAlloc() to be
420 StringToHeap(). This creates a stronger name association between related
423 2005-10-26 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
425 * UnixIOException.cs: Add (string) and (string, Exception) constructors to
426 silence FxCop; re-work logic so we lookup the error string at construction
427 time and use this as the message for the base class.
429 2005-10-25 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
431 * Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs: Filenames need to be marshaled through the
432 FileNameMarshaler, which will encode/decode filenames with UnixEncoding.
433 * UnixEncoding.cs: Added (copied from
434 ../../corlib/System.Text/UTF8Encoding.cs); a hack to permit handling of
435 arbitrarily encoded filenames. It attempts to decode a byte[] array as
436 UTF-8, and if the decode fails it prefixes each byte with
437 UnixEncoding.EscapeByte (\uFFFF).
438 * UnixMarshal.cs: Use UnixEncoding as the default encoding, and special-case
439 UnixEncoding to use Stdlib.strlen() for native string lengths.
441 2005-10-21 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
443 * FileAccessPattern.cs: Added
444 * UnixFile.cs, UnixStream.cs: Deprecate all the Advise* methods (lots!)
445 and replace with 6 methods which take a FileAccessPattern enum.
447 2005-10-19 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
449 * FileAccessPermissions.cs, FileSpecialAttributes.cs, FileTypes.cs: Added.
450 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixStream.cs: Replace the old Permission property
451 with 4 new properties: Protection (for the Native.FilePermissions value),
452 FileAccessPermissions (for rwxrwxrwx info), FileSpecialAttributes (for
453 set-user-id, set-group-id, sticky), and FileTypes (directory, socket...).
454 The new enumeration types have nicer CLS-compliant names.
456 2005-10-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
458 * UnixMarshal.cs: Fix GetIntXxBufferLength to require fewer
459 Marshal.ReadIntXx() calls; Fix PtrToString so that
460 ``"foo" == PtrToString (StringToAlloc("foo",enc),enc)'' is true for
463 2005-10-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
465 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add OwnerUserId and OwnerGroupId properties.
467 2005-10-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
469 * UnixDriveInfo.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs,
470 UnixGroup.cs, UnixStream.cs, UnixUser.cs: Don't use SetLastError(), since
471 it's use is (1) incorrect, and (2) will be going away with the move to
472 Mono.Unix.Native.Syscall. Instead use the Native.Syscall.* APIs which
475 2005-10-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
477 * UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs,
478 UnixStream.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs, UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs:
479 Start migrating uid/gid to long (from uint) for CLS compliance.
480 (Full migration must wait 'til after the next release as this would
481 require changes to existing members.)
482 * UnixEnvironment.cs: Above, and add RealUserId/RealGroupId and
483 EffectiveUserId/EffectiveGroupId.
485 2005-10-14 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
487 * Catalog.cs: Create a constructor and mark it [Obsolete]. It will be made
488 private after the next release.
489 * UnixFile.cs, UnixStream.cs: Deal with Mono.Unix.Native type name changes.
490 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: [Obsolete] more members; Deal with Mono.Unix.Native
492 * Syscall.cs: Create maps for PathConf, SysConf, ConfStr again; fpathconf(),
493 pathconf(), and sysconf() should call Native.Syscall since the
494 MonoPosixHelper.so helpers have changed.
496 2005-10-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
498 * UnixMarshal.cs: More/better StringToAlloc/PtrToString which take a
499 System.Text.Encoding instance for proper string marshaling.
500 - PtrToString(string,Encoding) is particularly tricky due to variable
502 - Fix StringToAlloc so that it works properly with UTF-16 encodings
503 (we need a terminating null 16-bit word, not a null byte).
504 - StringToAlloc overload for doing substrings.
506 2005-10-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
508 * UnixStream.cs: Check for EROFS and EINVAL in Flush(). Snorp was getting
509 an exception when he created a UnixStream around a socket, because
510 sockets can't be flushed. It should be acceptable to create a UnixStream
511 around a socket, so don't throw an exception in this scenario.
513 2005-10-06 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
515 * UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs UnixFile.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs,
516 UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixIOException.cs, UnixStream.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs:
517 API Review: Obsolete appropriate members and add appropriate overloads for
518 pending move to Mono.Unix.Native types.
519 * UnixMarshal.cs: API Review; add StringToAlloc().
521 2005-09-26 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
523 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Exists shouldn't use access(2), as (1) Exists isn't
524 virtual, and (2) access(2) errors if you try to access(2) a symlink which
525 points nowhere. Use (l)stat(2) instead, via GetFileStatus(), as this lets
526 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo behave properly.
527 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: The Contents property should return null if the
528 symlink target doesn't exist.
530 2005-09-20 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
532 * Syscall.cs: Add [Map] to AccessMode and MmapProt, as the Mono.Unix.Native
533 replacements go by different names (AccessModes, MmapProts), but we need
534 to continue generating the mapping code for these types (backward compat).
536 2005-09-20 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
538 * CdeclFunction.cs: [Obsolete]d by Mono.Unix.Native.CdeclFunction.
539 * make-map.cs: Remove.
540 * Stdlib.cs: [Obsolete] the types; use the Mono.Unix.Native.* types instead.
541 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add GC.KeepAlive statements to prevent premature GC's
543 * Syscall.cs: Remove [Map] attribute from all types; [CLSCompliant(false)]
544 work; [Obsolete] all types and suggest using the Mono.Unix.Native.*
545 replacements; remove [IncludeAttribute] -- superseded by
546 Mono.Unix.Native/Syscall.cs's [HeaderAttribte] for CLS compliance.
547 * UnixConvert.cs: [Obsolete]d by Mono.Unix.Native.NativeConvert.
548 * UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDriveInfo.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs,
549 UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs,
550 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs, UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs:
551 Add [CLSCompliant(false)] as necessary.
552 * UnixFile.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs:
553 [CLSCompliant(false)], addition of method overloads for [Obsolete]d types,
554 warn about changing return types.
555 * UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs: Add [CLSCompliant(false)] as necessary,
556 and warn about changing property types.
558 2005-09-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
560 * Stdlib.cs: Cache delegates passed to Stdlib.signal() so that they survive
561 garbage collections. Delegates can be removed by calling Stdlib.signal()
562 again with one of the Stdlib.SIG_* values (or the original return value of
564 * UnixUser.cs, UnixGroup.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs: Clarify "Id" (int) vs.
565 "Name" (string) differences by always using a Id or Name suffix.
567 2005-07-01 Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>
569 * Syscall.cs: The entire extended attribute API now goes through MPH, to
570 be shared between both Linux's and FreeBSD's similar EA implementations.
572 2005-06-29 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
574 * StdioFileStream.cs: Only flush if we do not own the handle, as
575 fclose does a flush internally.
577 2005-06-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
579 * UnixEnvironment: Add User, Login properties.
580 * Syscall.cs: Add locking around cuserid, crypt, encrypt, getlogin.
582 2005-06-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
584 * Syscall.cs: SyslogFacility shouldn't be [Flags] either. Sigh.
585 Thanks to Vorobiev Maksim for pointing this out.
586 * make-map.cs: Don't generate conversion code for [Obsolete] enum members.
587 This assumes that (1) the enum member's value is invalid, or (2) a
588 corrected member with the same value exists. This fix allows us to
589 obsolete invalid members (instead of removing them) without screwing up
590 the generated code -- consider LOG_USRE, the mis-spelling of LOG_USER.
591 Since SyslogFacility was (incorrectly) a [Flags] enum, since both LOG_USER
592 and LOG_USRE had the same value, we'd get a EINVAL error trying to convert
593 a valid value, since LOG_USRE would exist, would be checked for, and the
594 check would succeed (since it had the same value as LOG_USER).
595 This change allows us to be slightly more permissive with versioning.
597 2005-06-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
599 * Syscall.cs: correct value of LOG_CRON (it shouldn't be identical to
600 LOG_UUCP). SyslogLevel shouldn't have [Flags]. Move LOG_USER to be
601 before LOG_USRE so that the generated map code doesn't return EINVAL when
602 LOG_USER is specified.
604 2005-06-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
606 * Syscall.cs: s/LOG_USRE/LOG_USER/. Fixes #75274.
607 Thanks to Martin Honermeyer.
609 2005-06-09 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
611 * make-map.cs: Look for [Obsolete] members, and mark the UnixConvert
612 conversion functions with the same [Obsolete] message. This should permit
613 more graceful deprecation of enumerations in the future (rather than just
616 2005-06-08 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
618 * Syscall.cs: Add execvp(2). (This should have been added with the other
619 exec(2) additions...).
621 2005-06-08 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
623 * Syscall.cs: Update comment with correct exception type.
624 * UnixConvert.cs: Rename ToFilePermissions(string) to
625 FromOctalPermissionString; Add ToOctalPermissionString,
626 FromUnixPermissionString, ToUnixPermissionString.
627 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove ErrorMarshal.HaveStrerror_r and
628 UnixMarshal.IsErrorDescriptionThreadSafe. strerror(3) is now thread-safe
629 (from managed code, at least). Update comment.
631 2005-06-07 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
633 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Don't use lstat(2), use stat(2). This fits with
634 expectations better -- if you create a UnixFileInfo() on a symlink, you
635 want to get the target's information, not the symlink's info. Add
636 GetFileStatus so UnixSymbolicLinkInfo can override this behavior.
637 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Implement GetFileStatus() (which calls lstat(2)).
639 2005-06-07 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
641 * Syscall.cs: Document naming conventions.
643 2005-06-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
645 * make-map.cs: Change automatic "ifdef HAVE_<header>" support prefix to
646 "ah:" from ">". I hadn't known about ">", and "ah:" is (somewhat) more
648 * Syscall.cs: Change IncludeAttribute to put all headers/defines one/line.
649 It's easier to read this way. Add "ah:sys/xattr.h" to the headers.
651 2005-06-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
653 * Stdlib.cs: Add sanity checking to snprintf(3) to avoid buffer overflows.
655 2005-06-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
657 * StdioFileStream.cs: Remove FilePosition property & replace with
658 SaveFilePosition/RestoreFilePosition methods. Since FilePosition has a
659 finalizer, it's not right to have implicitly created instances.
661 - FilePosition: GC.SuppressFinalize() should be last in Dispose()
662 (following .NET guidelines).
663 - Syscall: Add locking around functions most likely to be thread unsafe.
664 This should provide some level of thread-safety to managed code.
665 * Syscall.cs: Add locking around functions most likely to be thread unsafe;
666 add mkstemp(3) export.
667 * UnixEnvironment.cs: GetUserShells should be atomic (from managed code).
668 * UnixGroup.cs: GetLocalGroups should be atomic (from managed code).
669 * UnixGroupInfo.cs: Add ToGroup() method to retrieve underlying Group info.
670 * UnixUser.cs: GetLocalUsers should be atomic (from managed code).
671 * UnixUserInfo.cs: Add ToPasswd () method to retrieve underlying Passwd info.
672 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: GetDrives should be atomic (from managed code).
674 2005-05-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
676 * Stdlib.cs: Add comment for atexit(3) so I don't try to add it.
677 * Syscall.cs: Add fcntl(2) overload which takes DirectoryNotifyFlags (so
678 that *something* accepts a DirectoryNotifyFlags); Fix IncludeAttribute
679 header files (">sys/poll.h" doesn't exist);
680 Add additional <sys/mman.h> functions mmap, munmap, msync, mlock, munlock,
681 mlockall, munlockall, mremap, mincore, remap_file_pages.
682 * UnixConvert.cs: Add conversion functions for MmapFlags, MmapProt, MsyncFlags,
683 MlockallFlags, MremapFlags.
685 2005-05-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
687 * Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs: Rename LockFlags to LockfCommand. This is a more
688 consistent naming, and it's more correct (they weren't flags in the first place).
690 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
692 * Stdlib.cs: Correct Mono_Posix_Stdlib_InvokeSignalHandler export.
694 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
696 * make-map.cs: Process the Mono.Posix namespace as well as Mono.Unix; add
697 mapping for Boolean => int for native type conversion.
699 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
701 * make-map.cs: Add a MphPrototypeFileGenerator, which looks for DllImport
702 methods across all types and generates a C header file declaration for
703 those methods. This allows us to ensure consistency between
704 Mono.Posix.dll and MonoPosixHelper.so. Rename WrapperFileGenerator to
705 ConvertFileGenerator (it generates UnixConvert).
706 * MapAttribute.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs: Make these internal -- there's no
707 reason for external users to even know these exist.
708 * StdioFileStream.cs: Move GC.SuppressFinalize call to be last Dispose()
709 call. This follows current design guidelines, and allows an exception to
710 be thrown from Dispose() without un-registering the finalizer.
711 * Syscall.cs: Change method declarations to match MonoPosixHelper, etc.
712 - posix_fallocate(P) takes a size_t
713 - mis-spelled settimeofday(2), sethostname(2)
714 - exec(2) can be public; it's safe to call
715 - change lseek(2) so int's are passed to MonoPosixHelper.so, not shorts
716 - We can't allow two incompatible prototypes to exist (since C allows
717 only one prototype, and we're cross-checking prototypes now). Change
718 utime(2) so only one prototype is needed.
719 * UnixMarshal.cs: ErrorMarshal.ErrorTranslator and ErrorMarshal.Translate
720 shouldn't be public; make them internal.
721 * UnixStream.cs: Remove `unsafe` code block when a "safe" alternative works;
722 Close() should also call GC.SuppressFinalize.
724 2005-05-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
726 * Syscall.cs: The Statvfs structure should contain a MountFlags enumeration,
727 not a ulong (we can "safely" do this since POSIX defines some values for
728 f_flag, so we should be kind and expose them).
729 * UnixConvert.cs: Add MountFlags conversion functions.
731 2005-05-02 Joe Shaw <joeshaw@novell.com>
733 * UnixListener.cs (Init): Remove the call to Cleanup() and the
734 method itself, which was not supposed to be here. We try to
735 connect to the socket if it exists instead of deleting it
738 2005-04-30 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@ximian.com>
740 * Stdlib.cs: Comment out usage of `UnmanagedFunctionPointer'. It
741 isn't supported in the runtime -- it throws an assert -- so better
742 not to use it at all for now.
744 2005-04-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
746 * UnixConvert.cs: Fix time_t -> DateTime conversions. time_t should be
747 assumed to be in the local time zone, so don't mess with UTC shifts.
748 This allows Mono.Unix to produce sane output (e.g. identical to ls(1) or
749 stat(1), instead of several hours different).
751 2005-04-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
753 * Stdlib.cs: Make FilePosition slightly more useful by providing a
754 ToString() override which dumps the fpos_t structure contents into a
755 hex string. Add Equals(), GetHashCode(), operator==, and operator!=
756 so FilePosition behaves like a value type.
758 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
761 * UnixListener.cs: TcpListener/TcpClient clones from Jow Shaw.
763 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
765 * Mono.Posix.dll.sources: added UnixListener and UnixClient from Joe
768 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
770 * UnixEndPoint.cs: fix from Mono.Posix.
772 2005-04-20 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
774 * Syscall.cs: Make all fork(2) and exec(2) functions `private`. It
775 currently isn't safe to call these under *any* circumstances. See also
776 68141, and this pertinent quote from Butenhof's
777 "Programming with POSIX Threads", p197, s6.1:
779 "When a threaded process calls fork to create a child process,
780 Pthreads specifies that only the thread calling fork exists in the
781 child. ... Pthreads does not 'terminate' the other threads in a forked
782 process...They simply cease to exist. ... This is not a problem if
783 the child process is about to call exec to run a new program, but if
784 you use fork to clone a threaded program, beware that you may lose
785 access to memory, especially heap memory stored only as
786 thread-specific data values."
788 Since P/Invoke currently requires using thread local storage, once you
789 fork(2) you won't be able to invoke exec(2) from managed code (since that
790 would require a P/Invoke transition to call exec(2), which would require
791 TLS, which doesn't exist in the new process).
793 This can only be fixed by removing the TLS dependency on P/Invoke, which
794 isn't a priority (and may not be possible).
796 The workaround is to create a C function which does your fork(2)/exec(2)
797 (and any other functions such as daemon(3)) on your behalf, and P/Invoke
798 to call this C function.
800 2005-04-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
802 * Syscall.cs: Update comment specifying which functions belong in Syscall.
803 * UnixConvert.cs: Add XattrFlags conversion functions.
804 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warning about self-assignment.
806 2005-04-16 Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>
808 * Syscall.cs: Add bindings for extended attribute manipulation
810 2005-04-05 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@novell.com>
812 * Syscall.cs: Set entry point for sys_syslog to be syslog.
813 Include the syslog.h header in the generated map so that we
814 actually do the mapping.
816 2005-03-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
818 * UnixConvert.cs: Add ToFopenMode() methods, which convert FileMode/FileAccess
819 into an fopen(3) mode string. ToOpenFlags() should throw
820 ArgumentOutOfRangeException for argument violations.
821 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add constructor overloads accepting filename and
822 FileMode/FileAccess overloads; Compatibility fixes with regression tests;
823 remove IDisposable implementation since System.IO.Stream already
824 implements it (which calls Close() for us).
826 2005-03-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
828 * Stdlib.cs: Move Errno-related functionality into Stdlib from Syscall,
829 since (1) errno is part of C89, and (2) StdioFileStream will need it, and
830 StdioFileStream shouldn't use Syscall. Add [UnmanagedFunctionPointer]
831 attribute to SignalHandler for .NET 2.0 (since signal handlers use C
832 calling convention, not Stdcall).
833 * Syscall.cs: Move Errno-related functionality into Stdlib.
834 * UnixMarshal.cs: Use ERANGE not EPERM when figuring out appropriate
835 translator, since ERANGE is part of C99 and EPERM isn't. Use Stdlib
836 instead of Syscall for Errno-related functionality.
838 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
840 * UnixFile.cs: Cope with changes in UnixStream.
841 * UnixStream.cs: Change FileDescriptor property to Handle for consistency.
842 * StdioFileStream.cs: Change FileStream property to Handle for consistency.
844 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
846 * Syscall.cs: Remove public sys_ methods. Some were public by mistake, and
847 others so that users could manually marshal strings if desired. Manually
848 marshaling strings shouldn't be necessary, though, so remove them too.
850 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
852 * StdioFileStream.cs: Fix Length property to actually return the size of the
853 file, not the # of bytes from the current position to EOF. Oops.
855 2005-01-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
857 * Stdlib.cs: Import "msvcrt", not "libc". These members are part of the
858 ANSI C standard, and thus should be present on Windows via msvcrt.dll
859 (except snprintf, until they catch up to C99). Change the calling
860 convention of all functions to Cdecl, as the .NET default is Stdcall.
861 Changing the calling convention isn't needed in Syscall, as it can only be
862 run on Unix platforms anyway, where the default is Cdecl.
863 * Syscall.cs: Add LIBC member that points to the real "libc"; we can't use
864 the imported definition from Stdlib as "msvcrt" doesn't exist on Unix.
866 2005-01-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
868 * Stdlib.cs: sys_* functions shouldn't be public.
870 2005-01-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
872 * make-map.cs: libMonoPosixHelper exports Mono_Posix prefixes, not Mono_Unix
873 prefixes, so change the type and namespace to generate compatible code.
874 * Syscall.cs: Change OpenFlags values so they match the Linux values.
876 2005-01-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
878 * Stdlib.cs: Use Stdlib.LIBC instead of "libc".
879 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add FilePosition property (not that I expect anyone to
880 use it) and Rewind() method.
882 2005-01-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
884 * StdioFileStream.cs: Added; System.IO.Stream wrapper for C FILE struct.
885 * Stdlib.cs: Correct visibility of ftell().
887 2005-01-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
889 * Stdlib.cs: Re-order declarations to match the order used in the
890 C99 Standard Annex B; Complete <stdio.h> exports (except for those not
891 worth supporting); Add non-"unsafe" versions of fread(3), fwrite(3) and
892 add some rudimentary buffer-overflow checking; Add <stdlib.h> exports such
893 as getenv(3), exit(3), rand(3), EXIT_SUCCESS, RAND_MAX, etc.
895 2005-01-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
897 * Syscall.cs: Update endfsent() and setfsent() declarations, as these must
898 now be implemented in MonoPosixHelper.
900 2005-01-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
902 * Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs: Minimize duplicate declarations of
903 "MonoPosixHelper" for use in DllImport statements.
905 2005-01-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
907 * Stdlib.cs: Don't use C# v2 features; fixes build under CSC.EXE.
909 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
911 * Stdlib.cs: On miguel's suggestion, rename Sighandler_t to SignalHandler.
913 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
915 * Stdlib.cs: Implement all C89 <stdio.h> functions except for the scanf(3)
916 family. These are too dangerous to expose.
918 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
920 * CdeclFunctions.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
921 * Stdlib.cs: Make signal(2) sane and (hopefully) complete.
922 * Syscall.cs: Fix cuserid Obsolete message to reference correct class name.
923 * UnixProcess.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
924 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warnings about unused variables.
926 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
928 * UnixPath.cs: Add ReadSymbolicLink(), which takes an intelligent approach
929 to reading symlinks (since their contents may be any size, we grow the
930 buffer dynamically to fit them all, instead of assuming a maximum size).
931 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Remove MaxContentsSize.
933 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
935 * UnixPath.cs: Add check for when symlink points to a full path name.
937 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
939 * Syscall.cs: Fix Object.Equals implementations.
940 * UnixPath.cs: New & improved, with Testing! GetRealPath() is changed so
941 that it doesn't walk the entire path looking for symlinks, it just reads
942 the leaf. GetCompletRealPath() walks the entire path resolving symlinks.
943 GetCanonicalPath() added, which "cleans up" a path (removing extraneous
944 "." and ".." entries).
945 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Rename ContentsLength -> MaxContentsSize.
947 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
949 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add a link(2) wrapper, CreateLink(). Strictly
950 speaking it's only "safe" to do this on files, but an exception will be
951 returned if the user tries to hard link directories (because of EPERM),
952 unless the user is root, in which case it should be allowed anyway...
954 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
956 * CdeclFunctions.cs: Correct the comments for AMD64
957 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: override Name; add Parent & Root properties;
958 Correct Path usage (s/Path/FullPath/g).
959 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: Added. Based on .NET 2.0 System.IO.DriveInfo docs,
960 provides statvfs(2) and getfsfile(3) information about a mounted volume.
961 GetDrives() wraps getfsent(3), thus parsing /etc/fstab.
962 * UnixFile.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version.
963 * UnixFileInfo.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version;
964 override Name; add DirectoryName and Directory properties;
965 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Make more .NET-like, using FullPath and
966 OriginalPath protected members, abstract Name property; Add
967 CreateSymbolicLink; Remove ReadLink (it's now
968 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.Contents); Use lstat(2) for Create(string), so we
969 properly detect Symbolic Links.
970 * UnixPath.cs: Added; Path manipulation utility functions.
971 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
973 - override new abstract member Name;
974 - rename ReadLink to ContentsPath (and Contents) properties
975 (why "Contents"? Because readlink(2) says "readlink places the
976 contents of the symbolic link in the buffer...")
977 - Add CreateSymbolicLinkTo(), which creates a symlink to the specified
980 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
982 * Stdlib.cs: Add syslog(3) to XPrintfFunctions; Add additional printf(3)
983 and fprintf(3) overload which properly escape the format string
984 (by using "%s" as the format for the user-supplied message).
985 * Syscall.cs: Add #regions for enummerations, structures, classes; Wrap
986 syslog(3) and related enumerations; fix operator!= on Dirent, Group;
987 wrap {f}statvfs(2); wrap <fstab.h> entries (getfsent(3), etc.).
988 * UnixConvert.cs: Add Syslog-releated enumeration translation functions;
989 Move ToOpenFlags here from UnixFile and UnixFileInfo.
990 * UnixMarshal.cs: Missing P/Invoke methods throw
991 EntryPointNotFoundException, not MissingMethodException; add
992 EscapeFormatString, which escapes printf-style format strings so that they
993 can be safely handed off to native code (avoiding stack overflow, etc);
994 make CreateExceptionForError internal.
996 2004-12-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
998 * Stdlib.cs: Add more <stdio.h> wrappers, such as fread(3) and fwrite(3).
999 These will be useful in implementing System.IO.Stream subclass for
1000 reading/writing to a FILE*. Fix a typo in the realloc(3) DllImport.
1001 * Syscall.cs: Fix the sys_kill and sys_crypt declarations.
1002 * CdeclFunction.cs: Document calling convention problems on AMD64.
1004 2004-11-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
1006 * CdeclFunction.cs: Added.
1007 * Stdlib.cs: Re-add printf(3) and fprintf(3). They may not be portable (the
1008 jury is still out on that; the AMD64 SysV ABI looks like it should be
1009 portable to AMD64 to my eyes), but they will work on *some* platforms, so
1010 we should permit it. The new implementation takes a page out of
1011 cocoa-sharp: use System.Reflection.Emit to generate a P/Invoke method at
1012 runtime to invoke printf(3) or fprintf(3). This way, we can export a
1013 params signature to C# code, permitting natural usage such as:
1014 Stdlib.printf ("Hello, %s world! (%i)\n", "silly", 42);
1015 * Syscall.cs: Mark which headers are complete, which functions still need
1016 wrapping (for headers which have anything done to them), add #region
1017 blocks for each header;
1018 export mkfifo(3), fexecve(), getppid(2), setlogin(); fix sleep(3) export.
1019 * UnixEnvironment.cs: Export a friendly getppid(2) wrapper.
1020 GetParentProcessId isn't in UnixProcess as there's no way (that I know of)
1021 to get the Parent's Parent, so it can't be a class member, and exposing it
1022 as a static member of UnixProcess doesn't make sense to me, as it isn't
1023 general. Added GetUserShells().
1024 * UnixProcess.cs: Change constructor to internal, so it can be used from
1027 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
1029 * Stdlib.cs: Remove printf(3) and fprintf(3). These are vararg/CDECL
1030 functions, and it's not portable to call them in this manner.
1031 (It's not portable because some architectures, such as AMD64, use a
1032 "cookie" as part of the vararg calling sequence to help reduce buffer
1033 overflow exploits. Trying to call vararg functions as if they were an
1034 overloaded function will not properly set this hardware cookie, resulting
1035 in a hardware exception. Talk to lupus for more information.)
1037 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
1039 * Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs: Remove mount- and umount-related
1040 functionality. Mount/umount is inherently non-portable (see the C code
1041 for mount/umount), and trying to provide a consistent interface is
1042 impossible. If you need mount/umount support, use the command-line
1043 programs mount(1) and umount(1).
1045 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
1047 + Lots o' Renames, as the namespace changed.
1048 * PosixConvert.cs: Moved to UnixConvert.cs:
1049 * PosixDirectory.cs: Moved to UnixDirectory.cs:
1050 * PosixEnvironment.cs: Moved to UnixEnvironment.cs:
1051 * PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: Moved to UnixDirectoryInfo.cs:
1052 * PosixFile.cs: Moved to UnixFile.cs:
1053 * PosixFileInfo.cs: Moved to UnixFileInfo.cs:
1054 * PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: Moved to UnixFileSystemInfo.cs:
1055 * PosixGroup.cs: Moved to UnixGroup.cs:
1056 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: Moved to UnixGroupInfo.cs:
1057 * PosixIOException.cs: Moved to UnixIOException.cs:
1058 * PosixMarshal.cs: Moved to UnixMarshal.cs:
1059 * PosixProcess.cs: Moved to UnixProcess.cs:
1060 * PosixStream.cs: Moved to UnixStream.cs:
1061 * PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Moved to UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
1062 * PosixUser.cs: Moved to UnixUser.cs:
1063 * PosixUserInfo.cs: Moved to UnixUserInfo.cs:
1064 * Catalog.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs, MapAttribute.cs, PeerCred.cs, Stdlib.cs,
1065 Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs,
1066 UnixEndPoint.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs,
1067 UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixIOException.cs,
1068 UnixMarshal.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs,
1069 UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Deal with renamed classes/members.
1071 2004-11-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
1073 * PosixUserInfo.cs: Make the PosixUserInfo(Passwd) constructor public;
1074 override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
1075 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: Make the PosixGroupInfo(Group) constructor public;
1076 override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
1077 * PosixIOException.cs: Use PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription instead of
1078 calling Syscall.strerror_r directly
1079 * PosixMarshal.cs: Add GetErrorDescription. Strerror_r() isn't portable, so
1080 GetErrorDescription() first tries strerror_r(), and if it fails falls back
1083 - Seal the Dirent class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
1084 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
1085 - Seal the Group class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
1086 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
1087 Provide operator== and operator!=.
1088 - Seal the Passwd class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
1089 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
1090 Provide operator== and operator!=.
1091 - Remove strerror_r() convenience overload. This is now
1092 PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription().
1094 2004-11-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
1096 * Syscall.cs: Export time-related functions (gettimeofday, settimeofday,
1097 utime, utimes), mknod.
1099 2004-11-07 Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>
1101 * PosixEnvironment.cs : csc build fix. see bug #69195.
1102 * PosixStream.cs : csc build fix. see bug #69196.
1104 2004-11-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
1106 * PosixConvert.cs: New file; conversion functions for Mono.Posix types.
1107 * PosixDirectory.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
1108 * PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
1109 * PosixEnvironment.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over environment information.
1110 * PosixFile.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
1111 * PosixFileInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
1112 * PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over `stat'.
1113 * PosixGroup.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
1114 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
1115 * PosixIOException.cs: New file; Exception for POSIX-generated exceptions.
1116 * PosixMarshal.cs: New file; utility functions for marshaling, etc.
1117 * PosixProcess.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over process information.
1118 * PosixStream.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file descriptors.
1119 * PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over symbolic links.
1120 * PosixUser.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
1121 * PosixUserInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
1122 * Stdlib.cs: New file; C standard library exports.
1123 * Syscall.cs: Effective re-write.
1124 - Organize exports by header file
1125 - add additional enumerations (Error for the E* error values, etc.)
1126 - always explicitly specify enumeration underlying type
1127 - Use a new wrapping infrastructure so that ABI-stable types are exported
1128 - For example, size_t is exported as ulong, not IntPtr.
1129 - Wrap more functions, and wrap them better (such as getpwnam).
1130 - This release is NOT backward compatible. Many names are the same, and
1131 hopefully they're still compatible, but no effort was made to maintain
1132 compatibility. For example, FileMode was removed and replaced with
1133 FilePermissions, to avoid a name conflict with System.IO.FileMode.
1134 - Change umount() to use MonoPosixHelper: portability fix for Mac OS X.
1135 * make-map.cs: Another effective re-write, to clean up the code, produce
1136 better output, and produce more output. For example, most of
1137 PosixConvert can be auto-generated, so it is (modulo version delays and
1138 bootstrap issues). `map.c' is now conditional on all macros, and has
1139 error checking for invalid/unsupported values.
1141 2004-09-18 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>
1143 * Syscall.cs: Add support for poll ().
1145 2004-09-18 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>
1147 * make-map.cs: Use field value not name for #defines.
1149 2004-09-14 Loren Bandiera <lorenb@mmgsecurity.com>
1151 * Syscall.cs: Added method for getpwnam which uses Passwd
1153 * macros.c: Helper function for getpwnam
1154 (In committing, Josh Tauberer also added getpwuid.)
1156 2004-07-09 Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
1158 * PeerCred.cs: Get the unix socket peer credentials.
1160 2004-05-26 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
1162 * Syscall.cs: Do not let the runtime handle strings, as we do not
1163 own those strings, we must transform the char * into a string
1166 2004-05-03 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
1168 * Syscall.cs: Add symlink
1170 2004-04-19 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
1172 * Syscall.cs: Use hex values for FileMode, since C# does not have
1173 an octal integer mode.
1175 2004-03-30 Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>
1177 * Added readlink, strerror, opendir, readdir, closedir
1178 * Added Mono.Posix.Stat.UnixToDateTime(long unixtime) --> DateTime
1180 2004-03-11 Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>
1182 * Syscall.cs: Removed argument to getgid that shouldn't be there.
1183 Added getusername, getgroupname which wrap getpwuid, getgrgid
1184 without dealing with pointers to structures.
1185 Removed duplicate FileMode enum nested in Syscall class.
1186 Added stat and lstat, which use StatMode enumeration
1187 (like FileMode but nicer and complete) and Stat struct.
1188 * macros.c: Helper functions for getpwuid, getgrgid, stat, lstat.
1190 2004-01-07 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
1192 * Syscall.cs: moved the assembly attribute to a proper place
1193 and added 'signal.h'
1194 * make-map.cs: use reflection to invoke the properties, as it
1195 fails under MS runtime.
1198 2004-01-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
1200 * Syscall.cs: moved assembly attribute and added unsafe block to fix
1201 the build on windows.
1203 2003-11-11 Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org
1205 * Syscall.cs: Applied patch from Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org> to
1208 2003-05-16 Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
1210 * UnixEndPoint.cs: New property to get and set the filename, like
1211 the IPEndPoint has for the IP address. Also implement ToString().
1213 Tue Apr 29 16:53:56 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>
1215 * Syscall.cs: remove the unsafe mess.
1217 2003-02-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
1220 * UnixEndPoint.cs: first file.
