1 2005-01-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
3 * Syscall.cs: Update endfsent() and setfsent() declarations, as these must
4 now be implemented in MonoPosixHelper.
6 2005-01-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
8 * Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs: Minimize duplicate declarations of
9 "MonoPosixHelper" for use in DllImport statements.
11 2005-01-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
13 * Stdlib.cs: Don't use C# v2 features; fixes build under CSC.EXE.
15 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
17 * Stdlib.cs: On miguel's suggestion, rename Sighandler_t to SignalHandler.
19 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
21 * Stdlib.cs: Implement all C89 <stdio.h> functions except for the scanf(3)
22 family. These are too dangerous to expose.
24 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
26 * CdeclFunctions.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
27 * Stdlib.cs: Make signal(2) sane and (hopefully) complete.
28 * Syscall.cs: Fix cuserid Obsolete message to reference correct class name.
29 * UnixProcess.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
30 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warnings about unused variables.
32 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
34 * UnixPath.cs: Add ReadSymbolicLink(), which takes an intelligent approach
35 to reading symlinks (since their contents may be any size, we grow the
36 buffer dynamically to fit them all, instead of assuming a maximum size).
37 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Remove MaxContentsSize.
39 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
41 * UnixPath.cs: Add check for when symlink points to a full path name.
43 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
45 * Syscall.cs: Fix Object.Equals implementations.
46 * UnixPath.cs: New & improved, with Testing! GetRealPath() is changed so
47 that it doesn't walk the entire path looking for symlinks, it just reads
48 the leaf. GetCompletRealPath() walks the entire path resolving symlinks.
49 GetCanonicalPath() added, which "cleans up" a path (removing extraneous
50 "." and ".." entries).
51 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Rename ContentsLength -> MaxContentsSize.
53 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
55 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add a link(2) wrapper, CreateLink(). Strictly
56 speaking it's only "safe" to do this on files, but an exception will be
57 returned if the user tries to hard link directories (because of EPERM),
58 unless the user is root, in which case it should be allowed anyway...
60 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
62 * CdeclFunctions.cs: Correct the comments for AMD64
63 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: override Name; add Parent & Root properties;
64 Correct Path usage (s/Path/FullPath/g).
65 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: Added. Based on .NET 2.0 System.IO.DriveInfo docs,
66 provides statvfs(2) and getfsfile(3) information about a mounted volume.
67 GetDrives() wraps getfsent(3), thus parsing /etc/fstab.
68 * UnixFile.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version.
69 * UnixFileInfo.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version;
70 override Name; add DirectoryName and Directory properties;
71 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Make more .NET-like, using FullPath and
72 OriginalPath protected members, abstract Name property; Add
73 CreateSymbolicLink; Remove ReadLink (it's now
74 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.Contents); Use lstat(2) for Create(string), so we
75 properly detect Symbolic Links.
76 * UnixPath.cs: Added; Path manipulation utility functions.
77 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
79 - override new abstract member Name;
80 - rename ReadLink to ContentsPath (and Contents) properties
81 (why "Contents"? Because readlink(2) says "readlink places the
82 contents of the symbolic link in the buffer...")
83 - Add CreateSymbolicLinkTo(), which creates a symlink to the specified
86 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
88 * Stdlib.cs: Add syslog(3) to XPrintfFunctions; Add additional printf(3)
89 and fprintf(3) overload which properly escape the format string
90 (by using "%s" as the format for the user-supplied message).
91 * Syscall.cs: Add #regions for enummerations, structures, classes; Wrap
92 syslog(3) and related enumerations; fix operator!= on Dirent, Group;
93 wrap {f}statvfs(2); wrap <fstab.h> entries (getfsent(3), etc.).
94 * UnixConvert.cs: Add Syslog-releated enumeration translation functions;
95 Move ToOpenFlags here from UnixFile and UnixFileInfo.
96 * UnixMarshal.cs: Missing P/Invoke methods throw
97 EntryPointNotFoundException, not MissingMethodException; add
98 EscapeFormatString, which escapes printf-style format strings so that they
99 can be safely handed off to native code (avoiding stack overflow, etc);
100 make CreateExceptionForError internal.
102 2004-12-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
104 * Stdlib.cs: Add more <stdio.h> wrappers, such as fread(3) and fwrite(3).
105 These will be useful in implementing System.IO.Stream subclass for
106 reading/writing to a FILE*. Fix a typo in the realloc(3) DllImport.
107 * Syscall.cs: Fix the sys_kill and sys_crypt declarations.
108 * CdeclFunction.cs: Document calling convention problems on AMD64.
110 2004-11-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
112 * CdeclFunction.cs: Added.
113 * Stdlib.cs: Re-add printf(3) and fprintf(3). They may not be portable (the
114 jury is still out on that; the AMD64 SysV ABI looks like it should be
115 portable to AMD64 to my eyes), but they will work on *some* platforms, so
116 we should permit it. The new implementation takes a page out of
117 cocoa-sharp: use System.Reflection.Emit to generate a P/Invoke method at
118 runtime to invoke printf(3) or fprintf(3). This way, we can export a
119 params signature to C# code, permitting natural usage such as:
120 Stdlib.printf ("Hello, %s world! (%i)\n", "silly", 42);
121 * Syscall.cs: Mark which headers are complete, which functions still need
122 wrapping (for headers which have anything done to them), add #region
123 blocks for each header;
124 export mkfifo(3), fexecve(), getppid(2), setlogin(); fix sleep(3) export.
125 * UnixEnvironment.cs: Export a friendly getppid(2) wrapper.
126 GetParentProcessId isn't in UnixProcess as there's no way (that I know of)
127 to get the Parent's Parent, so it can't be a class member, and exposing it
128 as a static member of UnixProcess doesn't make sense to me, as it isn't
129 general. Added GetUserShells().
130 * UnixProcess.cs: Change constructor to internal, so it can be used from
133 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
135 * Stdlib.cs: Remove printf(3) and fprintf(3). These are vararg/CDECL
136 functions, and it's not portable to call them in this manner.
137 (It's not portable because some architectures, such as AMD64, use a
138 "cookie" as part of the vararg calling sequence to help reduce buffer
139 overflow exploits. Trying to call vararg functions as if they were an
140 overloaded function will not properly set this hardware cookie, resulting
141 in a hardware exception. Talk to lupus for more information.)
143 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
145 * Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs: Remove mount- and umount-related
146 functionality. Mount/umount is inherently non-portable (see the C code
147 for mount/umount), and trying to provide a consistent interface is
148 impossible. If you need mount/umount support, use the command-line
149 programs mount(1) and umount(1).
151 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
153 + Lots o' Renames, as the namespace changed.
154 * PosixConvert.cs: Moved to UnixConvert.cs:
155 * PosixDirectory.cs: Moved to UnixDirectory.cs:
156 * PosixEnvironment.cs: Moved to UnixEnvironment.cs:
157 * PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: Moved to UnixDirectoryInfo.cs:
158 * PosixFile.cs: Moved to UnixFile.cs:
159 * PosixFileInfo.cs: Moved to UnixFileInfo.cs:
160 * PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: Moved to UnixFileSystemInfo.cs:
161 * PosixGroup.cs: Moved to UnixGroup.cs:
162 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: Moved to UnixGroupInfo.cs:
163 * PosixIOException.cs: Moved to UnixIOException.cs:
164 * PosixMarshal.cs: Moved to UnixMarshal.cs:
165 * PosixProcess.cs: Moved to UnixProcess.cs:
166 * PosixStream.cs: Moved to UnixStream.cs:
167 * PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Moved to UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
168 * PosixUser.cs: Moved to UnixUser.cs:
169 * PosixUserInfo.cs: Moved to UnixUserInfo.cs:
170 * Catalog.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs, MapAttribute.cs, PeerCred.cs, Stdlib.cs,
171 Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs,
172 UnixEndPoint.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs,
173 UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixIOException.cs,
174 UnixMarshal.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs,
175 UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Deal with renamed classes/members.
177 2004-11-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
179 * PosixUserInfo.cs: Make the PosixUserInfo(Passwd) constructor public;
180 override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
181 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: Make the PosixGroupInfo(Group) constructor public;
182 override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
183 * PosixIOException.cs: Use PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription instead of
184 calling Syscall.strerror_r directly
185 * PosixMarshal.cs: Add GetErrorDescription. Strerror_r() isn't portable, so
186 GetErrorDescription() first tries strerror_r(), and if it fails falls back
189 - Seal the Dirent class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
190 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
191 - Seal the Group class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
192 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
193 Provide operator== and operator!=.
194 - Seal the Passwd class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
195 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
196 Provide operator== and operator!=.
197 - Remove strerror_r() convenience overload. This is now
198 PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription().
200 2004-11-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
202 * Syscall.cs: Export time-related functions (gettimeofday, settimeofday,
203 utime, utimes), mknod.
205 2004-11-07 Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>
207 * PosixEnvironment.cs : csc build fix. see bug #69195.
208 * PosixStream.cs : csc build fix. see bug #69196.
210 2004-11-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
212 * PosixConvert.cs: New file; conversion functions for Mono.Posix types.
213 * PosixDirectory.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
214 * PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
215 * PosixEnvironment.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over environment information.
216 * PosixFile.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
217 * PosixFileInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
218 * PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over `stat'.
219 * PosixGroup.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
220 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
221 * PosixIOException.cs: New file; Exception for POSIX-generated exceptions.
222 * PosixMarshal.cs: New file; utility functions for marshaling, etc.
223 * PosixProcess.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over process information.
224 * PosixStream.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file descriptors.
225 * PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over symbolic links.
226 * PosixUser.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
227 * PosixUserInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
228 * Stdlib.cs: New file; C standard library exports.
229 * Syscall.cs: Effective re-write.
230 - Organize exports by header file
231 - add additional enumerations (Error for the E* error values, etc.)
232 - always explicitly specify enumeration underlying type
233 - Use a new wrapping infrastructure so that ABI-stable types are exported
234 - For example, size_t is exported as ulong, not IntPtr.
235 - Wrap more functions, and wrap them better (such as getpwnam).
236 - This release is NOT backward compatible. Many names are the same, and
237 hopefully they're still compatible, but no effort was made to maintain
238 compatibility. For example, FileMode was removed and replaced with
239 FilePermissions, to avoid a name conflict with System.IO.FileMode.
240 - Change umount() to use MonoPosixHelper: portability fix for Mac OS X.
241 * make-map.cs: Another effective re-write, to clean up the code, produce
242 better output, and produce more output. For example, most of
243 PosixConvert can be auto-generated, so it is (modulo version delays and
244 bootstrap issues). `map.c' is now conditional on all macros, and has
245 error checking for invalid/unsupported values.
247 2004-09-18 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>
249 * Syscall.cs: Add support for poll ().
251 2004-09-18 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>
253 * make-map.cs: Use field value not name for #defines.
255 2004-09-14 Loren Bandiera <lorenb@mmgsecurity.com>
257 * Syscall.cs: Added method for getpwnam which uses Passwd
259 * macros.c: Helper function for getpwnam
260 (In committing, Josh Tauberer also added getpwuid.)
262 2004-07-09 Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
264 * PeerCred.cs: Get the unix socket peer credentials.
266 2004-05-26 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
268 * Syscall.cs: Do not let the runtime handle strings, as we do not
269 own those strings, we must transform the char * into a string
272 2004-05-03 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
274 * Syscall.cs: Add symlink
276 2004-04-19 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
278 * Syscall.cs: Use hex values for FileMode, since C# does not have
279 an octal integer mode.
281 2004-03-30 Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>
283 * Added readlink, strerror, opendir, readdir, closedir
284 * Added Mono.Posix.Stat.UnixToDateTime(long unixtime) --> DateTime
286 2004-03-11 Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>
288 * Syscall.cs: Removed argument to getgid that shouldn't be there.
289 Added getusername, getgroupname which wrap getpwuid, getgrgid
290 without dealing with pointers to structures.
291 Removed duplicate FileMode enum nested in Syscall class.
292 Added stat and lstat, which use StatMode enumeration
293 (like FileMode but nicer and complete) and Stat struct.
294 * macros.c: Helper functions for getpwuid, getgrgid, stat, lstat.
296 2004-01-07 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
298 * Syscall.cs: moved the assembly attribute to a proper place
300 * make-map.cs: use reflection to invoke the properties, as it
301 fails under MS runtime.
304 2004-01-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
306 * Syscall.cs: moved assembly attribute and added unsafe block to fix
307 the build on windows.
309 2003-11-11 Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org
311 * Syscall.cs: Applied patch from Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org> to
314 2003-05-16 Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
316 * UnixEndPoint.cs: New property to get and set the filename, like
317 the IPEndPoint has for the IP address. Also implement ToString().
319 Tue Apr 29 16:53:56 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>
321 * Syscall.cs: remove the unsafe mess.
323 2003-02-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
326 * UnixEndPoint.cs: first file.
