1 2005-06-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
3 * Syscall.cs: s/LOG_USRE/LOG_USER/. Fixes #75274.
4 Thanks to Martin Honermeyer.
6 2005-06-09 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
8 * make-map.cs: Look for [Obsolete] members, and mark the UnixConvert
9 conversion functions with the same [Obsolete] message. This should permit
10 more graceful deprecation of enumerations in the future (rather than just
13 2005-06-08 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
15 * Syscall.cs: Add execvp(2). (This should have been added with the other
16 exec(2) additions...).
18 2005-06-08 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
20 * Syscall.cs: Update comment with correct exception type.
21 * UnixConvert.cs: Rename ToFilePermissions(string) to
22 FromOctalPermissionString; Add ToOctalPermissionString,
23 FromUnixPermissionString, ToUnixPermissionString.
24 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove ErrorMarshal.HaveStrerror_r and
25 UnixMarshal.IsErrorDescriptionThreadSafe. strerror(3) is now thread-safe
26 (from managed code, at least). Update comment.
28 2005-06-07 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
30 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Don't use lstat(2), use stat(2). This fits with
31 expectations better -- if you create a UnixFileInfo() on a symlink, you
32 want to get the target's information, not the symlink's info. Add
33 GetFileStatus so UnixSymbolicLinkInfo can override this behavior.
34 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Implement GetFileStatus() (which calls lstat(2)).
36 2005-06-07 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
38 * Syscall.cs: Document naming conventions.
40 2005-06-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
42 * make-map.cs: Change automatic "ifdef HAVE_<header>" support prefix to
43 "ah:" from ">". I hadn't known about ">", and "ah:" is (somewhat) more
45 * Syscall.cs: Change IncludeAttribute to put all headers/defines one/line.
46 It's easier to read this way. Add "ah:sys/xattr.h" to the headers.
48 2005-06-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
50 * Stdlib.cs: Add sanity checking to snprintf(3) to avoid buffer overflows.
52 2005-06-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
54 * StdioFileStream.cs: Remove FilePosition property & replace with
55 SaveFilePosition/RestoreFilePosition methods. Since FilePosition has a
56 finalizer, it's not right to have implicitly created instances.
58 - FilePosition: GC.SuppressFinalize() should be last in Dispose()
59 (following .NET guidelines).
60 - Syscall: Add locking around functions most likely to be thread unsafe.
61 This should provide some level of thread-safety to managed code.
62 * Syscall.cs: Add locking around functions most likely to be thread unsafe;
63 add mkstemp(3) export.
64 * UnixEnvironment.cs: GetUserShells should be atomic (from managed code).
65 * UnixGroup.cs: GetLocalGroups should be atomic (from managed code).
66 * UnixGroupInfo.cs: Add ToGroup() method to retrieve underlying Group info.
67 * UnixUser.cs: GetLocalUsers should be atomic (from managed code).
68 * UnixUserInfo.cs: Add ToPasswd () method to retrieve underlying Passwd info.
69 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: GetDrives should be atomic (from managed code).
71 2005-05-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
73 * Stdlib.cs: Add comment for atexit(3) so I don't try to add it.
74 * Syscall.cs: Add fcntl(2) overload which takes DirectoryNotifyFlags (so
75 that *something* accepts a DirectoryNotifyFlags); Fix IncludeAttribute
76 header files (">sys/poll.h" doesn't exist);
77 Add additional <sys/mman.h> functions mmap, munmap, msync, mlock, munlock,
78 mlockall, munlockall, mremap, mincore, remap_file_pages.
79 * UnixConvert.cs: Add conversion functions for MmapFlags, MmapProt, MsyncFlags,
80 MlockallFlags, MremapFlags.
82 2005-05-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
84 * Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs: Rename LockFlags to LockfCommand. This is a more
85 consistent naming, and it's more correct (they weren't flags in the first place).
87 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
89 * Stdlib.cs: Correct Mono_Posix_Stdlib_InvokeSignalHandler export.
91 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
93 * make-map.cs: Process the Mono.Posix namespace as well as Mono.Unix; add
94 mapping for Boolean => int for native type conversion.
96 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
98 * make-map.cs: Add a MphPrototypeFileGenerator, which looks for DllImport
99 methods across all types and generates a C header file declaration for
100 those methods. This allows us to ensure consistency between
101 Mono.Posix.dll and MonoPosixHelper.so. Rename WrapperFileGenerator to
102 ConvertFileGenerator (it generates UnixConvert).
103 * MapAttribute.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs: Make these internal -- there's no
104 reason for external users to even know these exist.
105 * StdioFileStream.cs: Move GC.SuppressFinalize call to be last Dispose()
106 call. This follows current design guidelines, and allows an exception to
107 be thrown from Dispose() without un-registering the finalizer.
108 * Syscall.cs: Change method declarations to match MonoPosixHelper, etc.
109 - posix_fallocate(P) takes a size_t
110 - mis-spelled settimeofday(2), sethostname(2)
111 - exec(2) can be public; it's safe to call
112 - change lseek(2) so int's are passed to MonoPosixHelper.so, not shorts
113 - We can't allow two incompatible prototypes to exist (since C allows
114 only one prototype, and we're cross-checking prototypes now). Change
115 utime(2) so only one prototype is needed.
116 * UnixMarshal.cs: ErrorMarshal.ErrorTranslator and ErrorMarshal.Translate
117 shouldn't be public; make them internal.
118 * UnixStream.cs: Remove `unsafe` code block when a "safe" alternative works;
119 Close() should also call GC.SuppressFinalize.
121 2005-05-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
123 * Syscall.cs: The Statvfs structure should contain a MountFlags enumeration,
124 not a ulong (we can "safely" do this since POSIX defines some values for
125 f_flag, so we should be kind and expose them).
126 * UnixConvert.cs: Add MountFlags conversion functions.
128 2005-05-02 Joe Shaw <joeshaw@novell.com>
130 * UnixListener.cs (Init): Remove the call to Cleanup() and the
131 method itself, which was not supposed to be here. We try to
132 connect to the socket if it exists instead of deleting it
135 2005-04-30 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@ximian.com>
137 * Stdlib.cs: Comment out usage of `UnmanagedFunctionPointer'. It
138 isn't supported in the runtime -- it throws an assert -- so better
139 not to use it at all for now.
141 2005-04-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
143 * UnixConvert.cs: Fix time_t -> DateTime conversions. time_t should be
144 assumed to be in the local time zone, so don't mess with UTC shifts.
145 This allows Mono.Unix to produce sane output (e.g. identical to ls(1) or
146 stat(1), instead of several hours different).
148 2005-04-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
150 * Stdlib.cs: Make FilePosition slightly more useful by providing a
151 ToString() override which dumps the fpos_t structure contents into a
152 hex string. Add Equals(), GetHashCode(), operator==, and operator!=
153 so FilePosition behaves like a value type.
155 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
158 * UnixListener.cs: TcpListener/TcpClient clones from Jow Shaw.
160 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
162 * Mono.Posix.dll.sources: added UnixListener and UnixClient from Joe
165 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
167 * UnixEndPoint.cs: fix from Mono.Posix.
169 2005-04-20 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
171 * Syscall.cs: Make all fork(2) and exec(2) functions `private`. It
172 currently isn't safe to call these under *any* circumstances. See also
173 68141, and this pertinent quote from Butenhof's
174 "Programming with POSIX Threads", p197, s6.1:
176 "When a threaded process calls fork to create a child process,
177 Pthreads specifies that only the thread calling fork exists in the
178 child. ... Pthreads does not 'terminate' the other threads in a forked
179 process...They simply cease to exist. ... This is not a problem if
180 the child process is about to call exec to run a new program, but if
181 you use fork to clone a threaded program, beware that you may lose
182 access to memory, especially heap memory stored only as
183 thread-specific data values."
185 Since P/Invoke currently requires using thread local storage, once you
186 fork(2) you won't be able to invoke exec(2) from managed code (since that
187 would require a P/Invoke transition to call exec(2), which would require
188 TLS, which doesn't exist in the new process).
190 This can only be fixed by removing the TLS dependency on P/Invoke, which
191 isn't a priority (and may not be possible).
193 The workaround is to create a C function which does your fork(2)/exec(2)
194 (and any other functions such as daemon(3)) on your behalf, and P/Invoke
195 to call this C function.
197 2005-04-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
199 * Syscall.cs: Update comment specifying which functions belong in Syscall.
200 * UnixConvert.cs: Add XattrFlags conversion functions.
201 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warning about self-assignment.
203 2005-04-16 Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>
205 * Syscall.cs: Add bindings for extended attribute manipulation
207 2005-04-05 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@novell.com>
209 * Syscall.cs: Set entry point for sys_syslog to be syslog.
210 Include the syslog.h header in the generated map so that we
211 actually do the mapping.
213 2005-03-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
215 * UnixConvert.cs: Add ToFopenMode() methods, which convert FileMode/FileAccess
216 into an fopen(3) mode string. ToOpenFlags() should throw
217 ArgumentOutOfRangeException for argument violations.
218 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add constructor overloads accepting filename and
219 FileMode/FileAccess overloads; Compatibility fixes with regression tests;
220 remove IDisposable implementation since System.IO.Stream already
221 implements it (which calls Close() for us).
223 2005-03-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
225 * Stdlib.cs: Move Errno-related functionality into Stdlib from Syscall,
226 since (1) errno is part of C89, and (2) StdioFileStream will need it, and
227 StdioFileStream shouldn't use Syscall. Add [UnmanagedFunctionPointer]
228 attribute to SignalHandler for .NET 2.0 (since signal handlers use C
229 calling convention, not Stdcall).
230 * Syscall.cs: Move Errno-related functionality into Stdlib.
231 * UnixMarshal.cs: Use ERANGE not EPERM when figuring out appropriate
232 translator, since ERANGE is part of C99 and EPERM isn't. Use Stdlib
233 instead of Syscall for Errno-related functionality.
235 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
237 * UnixFile.cs: Cope with changes in UnixStream.
238 * UnixStream.cs: Change FileDescriptor property to Handle for consistency.
239 * StdioFileStream.cs: Change FileStream property to Handle for consistency.
241 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
243 * Syscall.cs: Remove public sys_ methods. Some were public by mistake, and
244 others so that users could manually marshal strings if desired. Manually
245 marshaling strings shouldn't be necessary, though, so remove them too.
247 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
249 * StdioFileStream.cs: Fix Length property to actually return the size of the
250 file, not the # of bytes from the current position to EOF. Oops.
252 2005-01-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
254 * Stdlib.cs: Import "msvcrt", not "libc". These members are part of the
255 ANSI C standard, and thus should be present on Windows via msvcrt.dll
256 (except snprintf, until they catch up to C99). Change the calling
257 convention of all functions to Cdecl, as the .NET default is Stdcall.
258 Changing the calling convention isn't needed in Syscall, as it can only be
259 run on Unix platforms anyway, where the default is Cdecl.
260 * Syscall.cs: Add LIBC member that points to the real "libc"; we can't use
261 the imported definition from Stdlib as "msvcrt" doesn't exist on Unix.
263 2005-01-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
265 * Stdlib.cs: sys_* functions shouldn't be public.
267 2005-01-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
269 * make-map.cs: libMonoPosixHelper exports Mono_Posix prefixes, not Mono_Unix
270 prefixes, so change the type and namespace to generate compatible code.
271 * Syscall.cs: Change OpenFlags values so they match the Linux values.
273 2005-01-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
275 * Stdlib.cs: Use Stdlib.LIBC instead of "libc".
276 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add FilePosition property (not that I expect anyone to
277 use it) and Rewind() method.
279 2005-01-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
281 * StdioFileStream.cs: Added; System.IO.Stream wrapper for C FILE struct.
282 * Stdlib.cs: Correct visibility of ftell().
284 2005-01-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
286 * Stdlib.cs: Re-order declarations to match the order used in the
287 C99 Standard Annex B; Complete <stdio.h> exports (except for those not
288 worth supporting); Add non-"unsafe" versions of fread(3), fwrite(3) and
289 add some rudimentary buffer-overflow checking; Add <stdlib.h> exports such
290 as getenv(3), exit(3), rand(3), EXIT_SUCCESS, RAND_MAX, etc.
292 2005-01-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
294 * Syscall.cs: Update endfsent() and setfsent() declarations, as these must
295 now be implemented in MonoPosixHelper.
297 2005-01-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
299 * Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs: Minimize duplicate declarations of
300 "MonoPosixHelper" for use in DllImport statements.
302 2005-01-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
304 * Stdlib.cs: Don't use C# v2 features; fixes build under CSC.EXE.
306 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
308 * Stdlib.cs: On miguel's suggestion, rename Sighandler_t to SignalHandler.
310 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
312 * Stdlib.cs: Implement all C89 <stdio.h> functions except for the scanf(3)
313 family. These are too dangerous to expose.
315 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
317 * CdeclFunctions.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
318 * Stdlib.cs: Make signal(2) sane and (hopefully) complete.
319 * Syscall.cs: Fix cuserid Obsolete message to reference correct class name.
320 * UnixProcess.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
321 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warnings about unused variables.
323 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
325 * UnixPath.cs: Add ReadSymbolicLink(), which takes an intelligent approach
326 to reading symlinks (since their contents may be any size, we grow the
327 buffer dynamically to fit them all, instead of assuming a maximum size).
328 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Remove MaxContentsSize.
330 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
332 * UnixPath.cs: Add check for when symlink points to a full path name.
334 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
336 * Syscall.cs: Fix Object.Equals implementations.
337 * UnixPath.cs: New & improved, with Testing! GetRealPath() is changed so
338 that it doesn't walk the entire path looking for symlinks, it just reads
339 the leaf. GetCompletRealPath() walks the entire path resolving symlinks.
340 GetCanonicalPath() added, which "cleans up" a path (removing extraneous
341 "." and ".." entries).
342 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Rename ContentsLength -> MaxContentsSize.
344 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
346 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add a link(2) wrapper, CreateLink(). Strictly
347 speaking it's only "safe" to do this on files, but an exception will be
348 returned if the user tries to hard link directories (because of EPERM),
349 unless the user is root, in which case it should be allowed anyway...
351 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
353 * CdeclFunctions.cs: Correct the comments for AMD64
354 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: override Name; add Parent & Root properties;
355 Correct Path usage (s/Path/FullPath/g).
356 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: Added. Based on .NET 2.0 System.IO.DriveInfo docs,
357 provides statvfs(2) and getfsfile(3) information about a mounted volume.
358 GetDrives() wraps getfsent(3), thus parsing /etc/fstab.
359 * UnixFile.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version.
360 * UnixFileInfo.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version;
361 override Name; add DirectoryName and Directory properties;
362 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Make more .NET-like, using FullPath and
363 OriginalPath protected members, abstract Name property; Add
364 CreateSymbolicLink; Remove ReadLink (it's now
365 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.Contents); Use lstat(2) for Create(string), so we
366 properly detect Symbolic Links.
367 * UnixPath.cs: Added; Path manipulation utility functions.
368 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
370 - override new abstract member Name;
371 - rename ReadLink to ContentsPath (and Contents) properties
372 (why "Contents"? Because readlink(2) says "readlink places the
373 contents of the symbolic link in the buffer...")
374 - Add CreateSymbolicLinkTo(), which creates a symlink to the specified
377 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
379 * Stdlib.cs: Add syslog(3) to XPrintfFunctions; Add additional printf(3)
380 and fprintf(3) overload which properly escape the format string
381 (by using "%s" as the format for the user-supplied message).
382 * Syscall.cs: Add #regions for enummerations, structures, classes; Wrap
383 syslog(3) and related enumerations; fix operator!= on Dirent, Group;
384 wrap {f}statvfs(2); wrap <fstab.h> entries (getfsent(3), etc.).
385 * UnixConvert.cs: Add Syslog-releated enumeration translation functions;
386 Move ToOpenFlags here from UnixFile and UnixFileInfo.
387 * UnixMarshal.cs: Missing P/Invoke methods throw
388 EntryPointNotFoundException, not MissingMethodException; add
389 EscapeFormatString, which escapes printf-style format strings so that they
390 can be safely handed off to native code (avoiding stack overflow, etc);
391 make CreateExceptionForError internal.
393 2004-12-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
395 * Stdlib.cs: Add more <stdio.h> wrappers, such as fread(3) and fwrite(3).
396 These will be useful in implementing System.IO.Stream subclass for
397 reading/writing to a FILE*. Fix a typo in the realloc(3) DllImport.
398 * Syscall.cs: Fix the sys_kill and sys_crypt declarations.
399 * CdeclFunction.cs: Document calling convention problems on AMD64.
401 2004-11-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
403 * CdeclFunction.cs: Added.
404 * Stdlib.cs: Re-add printf(3) and fprintf(3). They may not be portable (the
405 jury is still out on that; the AMD64 SysV ABI looks like it should be
406 portable to AMD64 to my eyes), but they will work on *some* platforms, so
407 we should permit it. The new implementation takes a page out of
408 cocoa-sharp: use System.Reflection.Emit to generate a P/Invoke method at
409 runtime to invoke printf(3) or fprintf(3). This way, we can export a
410 params signature to C# code, permitting natural usage such as:
411 Stdlib.printf ("Hello, %s world! (%i)\n", "silly", 42);
412 * Syscall.cs: Mark which headers are complete, which functions still need
413 wrapping (for headers which have anything done to them), add #region
414 blocks for each header;
415 export mkfifo(3), fexecve(), getppid(2), setlogin(); fix sleep(3) export.
416 * UnixEnvironment.cs: Export a friendly getppid(2) wrapper.
417 GetParentProcessId isn't in UnixProcess as there's no way (that I know of)
418 to get the Parent's Parent, so it can't be a class member, and exposing it
419 as a static member of UnixProcess doesn't make sense to me, as it isn't
420 general. Added GetUserShells().
421 * UnixProcess.cs: Change constructor to internal, so it can be used from
424 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
426 * Stdlib.cs: Remove printf(3) and fprintf(3). These are vararg/CDECL
427 functions, and it's not portable to call them in this manner.
428 (It's not portable because some architectures, such as AMD64, use a
429 "cookie" as part of the vararg calling sequence to help reduce buffer
430 overflow exploits. Trying to call vararg functions as if they were an
431 overloaded function will not properly set this hardware cookie, resulting
432 in a hardware exception. Talk to lupus for more information.)
434 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
436 * Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs: Remove mount- and umount-related
437 functionality. Mount/umount is inherently non-portable (see the C code
438 for mount/umount), and trying to provide a consistent interface is
439 impossible. If you need mount/umount support, use the command-line
440 programs mount(1) and umount(1).
442 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
444 + Lots o' Renames, as the namespace changed.
445 * PosixConvert.cs: Moved to UnixConvert.cs:
446 * PosixDirectory.cs: Moved to UnixDirectory.cs:
447 * PosixEnvironment.cs: Moved to UnixEnvironment.cs:
448 * PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: Moved to UnixDirectoryInfo.cs:
449 * PosixFile.cs: Moved to UnixFile.cs:
450 * PosixFileInfo.cs: Moved to UnixFileInfo.cs:
451 * PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: Moved to UnixFileSystemInfo.cs:
452 * PosixGroup.cs: Moved to UnixGroup.cs:
453 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: Moved to UnixGroupInfo.cs:
454 * PosixIOException.cs: Moved to UnixIOException.cs:
455 * PosixMarshal.cs: Moved to UnixMarshal.cs:
456 * PosixProcess.cs: Moved to UnixProcess.cs:
457 * PosixStream.cs: Moved to UnixStream.cs:
458 * PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Moved to UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
459 * PosixUser.cs: Moved to UnixUser.cs:
460 * PosixUserInfo.cs: Moved to UnixUserInfo.cs:
461 * Catalog.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs, MapAttribute.cs, PeerCred.cs, Stdlib.cs,
462 Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs,
463 UnixEndPoint.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs,
464 UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixIOException.cs,
465 UnixMarshal.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs,
466 UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Deal with renamed classes/members.
468 2004-11-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
470 * PosixUserInfo.cs: Make the PosixUserInfo(Passwd) constructor public;
471 override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
472 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: Make the PosixGroupInfo(Group) constructor public;
473 override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
474 * PosixIOException.cs: Use PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription instead of
475 calling Syscall.strerror_r directly
476 * PosixMarshal.cs: Add GetErrorDescription. Strerror_r() isn't portable, so
477 GetErrorDescription() first tries strerror_r(), and if it fails falls back
480 - Seal the Dirent class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
481 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
482 - Seal the Group class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
483 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
484 Provide operator== and operator!=.
485 - Seal the Passwd class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
486 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
487 Provide operator== and operator!=.
488 - Remove strerror_r() convenience overload. This is now
489 PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription().
491 2004-11-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
493 * Syscall.cs: Export time-related functions (gettimeofday, settimeofday,
494 utime, utimes), mknod.
496 2004-11-07 Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>
498 * PosixEnvironment.cs : csc build fix. see bug #69195.
499 * PosixStream.cs : csc build fix. see bug #69196.
501 2004-11-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
503 * PosixConvert.cs: New file; conversion functions for Mono.Posix types.
504 * PosixDirectory.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
505 * PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
506 * PosixEnvironment.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over environment information.
507 * PosixFile.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
508 * PosixFileInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
509 * PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over `stat'.
510 * PosixGroup.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
511 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
512 * PosixIOException.cs: New file; Exception for POSIX-generated exceptions.
513 * PosixMarshal.cs: New file; utility functions for marshaling, etc.
514 * PosixProcess.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over process information.
515 * PosixStream.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file descriptors.
516 * PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over symbolic links.
517 * PosixUser.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
518 * PosixUserInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
519 * Stdlib.cs: New file; C standard library exports.
520 * Syscall.cs: Effective re-write.
521 - Organize exports by header file
522 - add additional enumerations (Error for the E* error values, etc.)
523 - always explicitly specify enumeration underlying type
524 - Use a new wrapping infrastructure so that ABI-stable types are exported
525 - For example, size_t is exported as ulong, not IntPtr.
526 - Wrap more functions, and wrap them better (such as getpwnam).
527 - This release is NOT backward compatible. Many names are the same, and
528 hopefully they're still compatible, but no effort was made to maintain
529 compatibility. For example, FileMode was removed and replaced with
530 FilePermissions, to avoid a name conflict with System.IO.FileMode.
531 - Change umount() to use MonoPosixHelper: portability fix for Mac OS X.
532 * make-map.cs: Another effective re-write, to clean up the code, produce
533 better output, and produce more output. For example, most of
534 PosixConvert can be auto-generated, so it is (modulo version delays and
535 bootstrap issues). `map.c' is now conditional on all macros, and has
536 error checking for invalid/unsupported values.
538 2004-09-18 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>
540 * Syscall.cs: Add support for poll ().
542 2004-09-18 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>
544 * make-map.cs: Use field value not name for #defines.
546 2004-09-14 Loren Bandiera <lorenb@mmgsecurity.com>
548 * Syscall.cs: Added method for getpwnam which uses Passwd
550 * macros.c: Helper function for getpwnam
551 (In committing, Josh Tauberer also added getpwuid.)
553 2004-07-09 Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
555 * PeerCred.cs: Get the unix socket peer credentials.
557 2004-05-26 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
559 * Syscall.cs: Do not let the runtime handle strings, as we do not
560 own those strings, we must transform the char * into a string
563 2004-05-03 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
565 * Syscall.cs: Add symlink
567 2004-04-19 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
569 * Syscall.cs: Use hex values for FileMode, since C# does not have
570 an octal integer mode.
572 2004-03-30 Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>
574 * Added readlink, strerror, opendir, readdir, closedir
575 * Added Mono.Posix.Stat.UnixToDateTime(long unixtime) --> DateTime
577 2004-03-11 Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>
579 * Syscall.cs: Removed argument to getgid that shouldn't be there.
580 Added getusername, getgroupname which wrap getpwuid, getgrgid
581 without dealing with pointers to structures.
582 Removed duplicate FileMode enum nested in Syscall class.
583 Added stat and lstat, which use StatMode enumeration
584 (like FileMode but nicer and complete) and Stat struct.
585 * macros.c: Helper functions for getpwuid, getgrgid, stat, lstat.
587 2004-01-07 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
589 * Syscall.cs: moved the assembly attribute to a proper place
591 * make-map.cs: use reflection to invoke the properties, as it
592 fails under MS runtime.
595 2004-01-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
597 * Syscall.cs: moved assembly attribute and added unsafe block to fix
598 the build on windows.
600 2003-11-11 Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org
602 * Syscall.cs: Applied patch from Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org> to
605 2003-05-16 Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
607 * UnixEndPoint.cs: New property to get and set the filename, like
608 the IPEndPoint has for the IP address. Also implement ToString().
610 Tue Apr 29 16:53:56 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>
612 * Syscall.cs: remove the unsafe mess.
614 2003-02-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
617 * UnixEndPoint.cs: first file.
