1 2005-06-08 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
3 * Syscall.cs: Add execvp(2). (This should have been added with the other
6 2005-06-08 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
8 * Syscall.cs: Update comment with correct exception type.
9 * UnixConvert.cs: Rename ToFilePermissions(string) to
10 FromOctalPermissionString; Add ToOctalPermissionString,
11 FromUnixPermissionString, ToUnixPermissionString.
12 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove ErrorMarshal.HaveStrerror_r and
13 UnixMarshal.IsErrorDescriptionThreadSafe. strerror(3) is now thread-safe
14 (from managed code, at least). Update comment.
16 2005-06-07 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
18 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Don't use lstat(2), use stat(2). This fits with
19 expectations better -- if you create a UnixFileInfo() on a symlink, you
20 want to get the target's information, not the symlink's info. Add
21 GetFileStatus so UnixSymbolicLinkInfo can override this behavior.
22 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Implement GetFileStatus() (which calls lstat(2)).
24 2005-06-07 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
26 * Syscall.cs: Document naming conventions.
28 2005-06-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
30 * make-map.cs: Change automatic "ifdef HAVE_<header>" support prefix to
31 "ah:" from ">". I hadn't known about ">", and "ah:" is (somewhat) more
33 * Syscall.cs: Change IncludeAttribute to put all headers/defines one/line.
34 It's easier to read this way. Add "ah:sys/xattr.h" to the headers.
36 2005-06-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
38 * Stdlib.cs: Add sanity checking to snprintf(3) to avoid buffer overflows.
40 2005-06-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
42 * StdioFileStream.cs: Remove FilePosition property & replace with
43 SaveFilePosition/RestoreFilePosition methods. Since FilePosition has a
44 finalizer, it's not right to have implicitly created instances.
46 - FilePosition: GC.SuppressFinalize() should be last in Dispose()
47 (following .NET guidelines).
48 - Syscall: Add locking around functions most likely to be thread unsafe.
49 This should provide some level of thread-safety to managed code.
50 * Syscall.cs: Add locking around functions most likely to be thread unsafe;
51 add mkstemp(3) export.
52 * UnixEnvironment.cs: GetUserShells should be atomic (from managed code).
53 * UnixGroup.cs: GetLocalGroups should be atomic (from managed code).
54 * UnixGroupInfo.cs: Add ToGroup() method to retrieve underlying Group info.
55 * UnixUser.cs: GetLocalUsers should be atomic (from managed code).
56 * UnixUserInfo.cs: Add ToPasswd () method to retrieve underlying Passwd info.
57 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: GetDrives should be atomic (from managed code).
59 2005-05-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
61 * Stdlib.cs: Add comment for atexit(3) so I don't try to add it.
62 * Syscall.cs: Add fcntl(2) overload which takes DirectoryNotifyFlags (so
63 that *something* accepts a DirectoryNotifyFlags); Fix IncludeAttribute
64 header files (">sys/poll.h" doesn't exist);
65 Add additional <sys/mman.h> functions mmap, munmap, msync, mlock, munlock,
66 mlockall, munlockall, mremap, mincore, remap_file_pages.
67 * UnixConvert.cs: Add conversion functions for MmapFlags, MmapProt, MsyncFlags,
68 MlockallFlags, MremapFlags.
70 2005-05-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
72 * Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs: Rename LockFlags to LockfCommand. This is a more
73 consistent naming, and it's more correct (they weren't flags in the first place).
75 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
77 * Stdlib.cs: Correct Mono_Posix_Stdlib_InvokeSignalHandler export.
79 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
81 * make-map.cs: Process the Mono.Posix namespace as well as Mono.Unix; add
82 mapping for Boolean => int for native type conversion.
84 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
86 * make-map.cs: Add a MphPrototypeFileGenerator, which looks for DllImport
87 methods across all types and generates a C header file declaration for
88 those methods. This allows us to ensure consistency between
89 Mono.Posix.dll and MonoPosixHelper.so. Rename WrapperFileGenerator to
90 ConvertFileGenerator (it generates UnixConvert).
91 * MapAttribute.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs: Make these internal -- there's no
92 reason for external users to even know these exist.
93 * StdioFileStream.cs: Move GC.SuppressFinalize call to be last Dispose()
94 call. This follows current design guidelines, and allows an exception to
95 be thrown from Dispose() without un-registering the finalizer.
96 * Syscall.cs: Change method declarations to match MonoPosixHelper, etc.
97 - posix_fallocate(P) takes a size_t
98 - mis-spelled settimeofday(2), sethostname(2)
99 - exec(2) can be public; it's safe to call
100 - change lseek(2) so int's are passed to MonoPosixHelper.so, not shorts
101 - We can't allow two incompatible prototypes to exist (since C allows
102 only one prototype, and we're cross-checking prototypes now). Change
103 utime(2) so only one prototype is needed.
104 * UnixMarshal.cs: ErrorMarshal.ErrorTranslator and ErrorMarshal.Translate
105 shouldn't be public; make them internal.
106 * UnixStream.cs: Remove `unsafe` code block when a "safe" alternative works;
107 Close() should also call GC.SuppressFinalize.
109 2005-05-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
111 * Syscall.cs: The Statvfs structure should contain a MountFlags enumeration,
112 not a ulong (we can "safely" do this since POSIX defines some values for
113 f_flag, so we should be kind and expose them).
114 * UnixConvert.cs: Add MountFlags conversion functions.
116 2005-05-02 Joe Shaw <joeshaw@novell.com>
118 * UnixListener.cs (Init): Remove the call to Cleanup() and the
119 method itself, which was not supposed to be here. We try to
120 connect to the socket if it exists instead of deleting it
123 2005-04-30 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@ximian.com>
125 * Stdlib.cs: Comment out usage of `UnmanagedFunctionPointer'. It
126 isn't supported in the runtime -- it throws an assert -- so better
127 not to use it at all for now.
129 2005-04-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
131 * UnixConvert.cs: Fix time_t -> DateTime conversions. time_t should be
132 assumed to be in the local time zone, so don't mess with UTC shifts.
133 This allows Mono.Unix to produce sane output (e.g. identical to ls(1) or
134 stat(1), instead of several hours different).
136 2005-04-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
138 * Stdlib.cs: Make FilePosition slightly more useful by providing a
139 ToString() override which dumps the fpos_t structure contents into a
140 hex string. Add Equals(), GetHashCode(), operator==, and operator!=
141 so FilePosition behaves like a value type.
143 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
146 * UnixListener.cs: TcpListener/TcpClient clones from Jow Shaw.
148 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
150 * Mono.Posix.dll.sources: added UnixListener and UnixClient from Joe
153 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
155 * UnixEndPoint.cs: fix from Mono.Posix.
157 2005-04-20 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
159 * Syscall.cs: Make all fork(2) and exec(2) functions `private`. It
160 currently isn't safe to call these under *any* circumstances. See also
161 68141, and this pertinent quote from Butenhof's
162 "Programming with POSIX Threads", p197, s6.1:
164 "When a threaded process calls fork to create a child process,
165 Pthreads specifies that only the thread calling fork exists in the
166 child. ... Pthreads does not 'terminate' the other threads in a forked
167 process...They simply cease to exist. ... This is not a problem if
168 the child process is about to call exec to run a new program, but if
169 you use fork to clone a threaded program, beware that you may lose
170 access to memory, especially heap memory stored only as
171 thread-specific data values."
173 Since P/Invoke currently requires using thread local storage, once you
174 fork(2) you won't be able to invoke exec(2) from managed code (since that
175 would require a P/Invoke transition to call exec(2), which would require
176 TLS, which doesn't exist in the new process).
178 This can only be fixed by removing the TLS dependency on P/Invoke, which
179 isn't a priority (and may not be possible).
181 The workaround is to create a C function which does your fork(2)/exec(2)
182 (and any other functions such as daemon(3)) on your behalf, and P/Invoke
183 to call this C function.
185 2005-04-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
187 * Syscall.cs: Update comment specifying which functions belong in Syscall.
188 * UnixConvert.cs: Add XattrFlags conversion functions.
189 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warning about self-assignment.
191 2005-04-16 Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>
193 * Syscall.cs: Add bindings for extended attribute manipulation
195 2005-04-05 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@novell.com>
197 * Syscall.cs: Set entry point for sys_syslog to be syslog.
198 Include the syslog.h header in the generated map so that we
199 actually do the mapping.
201 2005-03-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
203 * UnixConvert.cs: Add ToFopenMode() methods, which convert FileMode/FileAccess
204 into an fopen(3) mode string. ToOpenFlags() should throw
205 ArgumentOutOfRangeException for argument violations.
206 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add constructor overloads accepting filename and
207 FileMode/FileAccess overloads; Compatibility fixes with regression tests;
208 remove IDisposable implementation since System.IO.Stream already
209 implements it (which calls Close() for us).
211 2005-03-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
213 * Stdlib.cs: Move Errno-related functionality into Stdlib from Syscall,
214 since (1) errno is part of C89, and (2) StdioFileStream will need it, and
215 StdioFileStream shouldn't use Syscall. Add [UnmanagedFunctionPointer]
216 attribute to SignalHandler for .NET 2.0 (since signal handlers use C
217 calling convention, not Stdcall).
218 * Syscall.cs: Move Errno-related functionality into Stdlib.
219 * UnixMarshal.cs: Use ERANGE not EPERM when figuring out appropriate
220 translator, since ERANGE is part of C99 and EPERM isn't. Use Stdlib
221 instead of Syscall for Errno-related functionality.
223 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
225 * UnixFile.cs: Cope with changes in UnixStream.
226 * UnixStream.cs: Change FileDescriptor property to Handle for consistency.
227 * StdioFileStream.cs: Change FileStream property to Handle for consistency.
229 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
231 * Syscall.cs: Remove public sys_ methods. Some were public by mistake, and
232 others so that users could manually marshal strings if desired. Manually
233 marshaling strings shouldn't be necessary, though, so remove them too.
235 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
237 * StdioFileStream.cs: Fix Length property to actually return the size of the
238 file, not the # of bytes from the current position to EOF. Oops.
240 2005-01-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
242 * Stdlib.cs: Import "msvcrt", not "libc". These members are part of the
243 ANSI C standard, and thus should be present on Windows via msvcrt.dll
244 (except snprintf, until they catch up to C99). Change the calling
245 convention of all functions to Cdecl, as the .NET default is Stdcall.
246 Changing the calling convention isn't needed in Syscall, as it can only be
247 run on Unix platforms anyway, where the default is Cdecl.
248 * Syscall.cs: Add LIBC member that points to the real "libc"; we can't use
249 the imported definition from Stdlib as "msvcrt" doesn't exist on Unix.
251 2005-01-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
253 * Stdlib.cs: sys_* functions shouldn't be public.
255 2005-01-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
257 * make-map.cs: libMonoPosixHelper exports Mono_Posix prefixes, not Mono_Unix
258 prefixes, so change the type and namespace to generate compatible code.
259 * Syscall.cs: Change OpenFlags values so they match the Linux values.
261 2005-01-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
263 * Stdlib.cs: Use Stdlib.LIBC instead of "libc".
264 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add FilePosition property (not that I expect anyone to
265 use it) and Rewind() method.
267 2005-01-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
269 * StdioFileStream.cs: Added; System.IO.Stream wrapper for C FILE struct.
270 * Stdlib.cs: Correct visibility of ftell().
272 2005-01-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
274 * Stdlib.cs: Re-order declarations to match the order used in the
275 C99 Standard Annex B; Complete <stdio.h> exports (except for those not
276 worth supporting); Add non-"unsafe" versions of fread(3), fwrite(3) and
277 add some rudimentary buffer-overflow checking; Add <stdlib.h> exports such
278 as getenv(3), exit(3), rand(3), EXIT_SUCCESS, RAND_MAX, etc.
280 2005-01-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
282 * Syscall.cs: Update endfsent() and setfsent() declarations, as these must
283 now be implemented in MonoPosixHelper.
285 2005-01-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
287 * Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs: Minimize duplicate declarations of
288 "MonoPosixHelper" for use in DllImport statements.
290 2005-01-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
292 * Stdlib.cs: Don't use C# v2 features; fixes build under CSC.EXE.
294 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
296 * Stdlib.cs: On miguel's suggestion, rename Sighandler_t to SignalHandler.
298 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
300 * Stdlib.cs: Implement all C89 <stdio.h> functions except for the scanf(3)
301 family. These are too dangerous to expose.
303 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
305 * CdeclFunctions.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
306 * Stdlib.cs: Make signal(2) sane and (hopefully) complete.
307 * Syscall.cs: Fix cuserid Obsolete message to reference correct class name.
308 * UnixProcess.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
309 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warnings about unused variables.
311 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
313 * UnixPath.cs: Add ReadSymbolicLink(), which takes an intelligent approach
314 to reading symlinks (since their contents may be any size, we grow the
315 buffer dynamically to fit them all, instead of assuming a maximum size).
316 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Remove MaxContentsSize.
318 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
320 * UnixPath.cs: Add check for when symlink points to a full path name.
322 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
324 * Syscall.cs: Fix Object.Equals implementations.
325 * UnixPath.cs: New & improved, with Testing! GetRealPath() is changed so
326 that it doesn't walk the entire path looking for symlinks, it just reads
327 the leaf. GetCompletRealPath() walks the entire path resolving symlinks.
328 GetCanonicalPath() added, which "cleans up" a path (removing extraneous
329 "." and ".." entries).
330 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Rename ContentsLength -> MaxContentsSize.
332 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
334 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add a link(2) wrapper, CreateLink(). Strictly
335 speaking it's only "safe" to do this on files, but an exception will be
336 returned if the user tries to hard link directories (because of EPERM),
337 unless the user is root, in which case it should be allowed anyway...
339 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
341 * CdeclFunctions.cs: Correct the comments for AMD64
342 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: override Name; add Parent & Root properties;
343 Correct Path usage (s/Path/FullPath/g).
344 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: Added. Based on .NET 2.0 System.IO.DriveInfo docs,
345 provides statvfs(2) and getfsfile(3) information about a mounted volume.
346 GetDrives() wraps getfsent(3), thus parsing /etc/fstab.
347 * UnixFile.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version.
348 * UnixFileInfo.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version;
349 override Name; add DirectoryName and Directory properties;
350 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Make more .NET-like, using FullPath and
351 OriginalPath protected members, abstract Name property; Add
352 CreateSymbolicLink; Remove ReadLink (it's now
353 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.Contents); Use lstat(2) for Create(string), so we
354 properly detect Symbolic Links.
355 * UnixPath.cs: Added; Path manipulation utility functions.
356 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
358 - override new abstract member Name;
359 - rename ReadLink to ContentsPath (and Contents) properties
360 (why "Contents"? Because readlink(2) says "readlink places the
361 contents of the symbolic link in the buffer...")
362 - Add CreateSymbolicLinkTo(), which creates a symlink to the specified
365 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
367 * Stdlib.cs: Add syslog(3) to XPrintfFunctions; Add additional printf(3)
368 and fprintf(3) overload which properly escape the format string
369 (by using "%s" as the format for the user-supplied message).
370 * Syscall.cs: Add #regions for enummerations, structures, classes; Wrap
371 syslog(3) and related enumerations; fix operator!= on Dirent, Group;
372 wrap {f}statvfs(2); wrap <fstab.h> entries (getfsent(3), etc.).
373 * UnixConvert.cs: Add Syslog-releated enumeration translation functions;
374 Move ToOpenFlags here from UnixFile and UnixFileInfo.
375 * UnixMarshal.cs: Missing P/Invoke methods throw
376 EntryPointNotFoundException, not MissingMethodException; add
377 EscapeFormatString, which escapes printf-style format strings so that they
378 can be safely handed off to native code (avoiding stack overflow, etc);
379 make CreateExceptionForError internal.
381 2004-12-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
383 * Stdlib.cs: Add more <stdio.h> wrappers, such as fread(3) and fwrite(3).
384 These will be useful in implementing System.IO.Stream subclass for
385 reading/writing to a FILE*. Fix a typo in the realloc(3) DllImport.
386 * Syscall.cs: Fix the sys_kill and sys_crypt declarations.
387 * CdeclFunction.cs: Document calling convention problems on AMD64.
389 2004-11-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
391 * CdeclFunction.cs: Added.
392 * Stdlib.cs: Re-add printf(3) and fprintf(3). They may not be portable (the
393 jury is still out on that; the AMD64 SysV ABI looks like it should be
394 portable to AMD64 to my eyes), but they will work on *some* platforms, so
395 we should permit it. The new implementation takes a page out of
396 cocoa-sharp: use System.Reflection.Emit to generate a P/Invoke method at
397 runtime to invoke printf(3) or fprintf(3). This way, we can export a
398 params signature to C# code, permitting natural usage such as:
399 Stdlib.printf ("Hello, %s world! (%i)\n", "silly", 42);
400 * Syscall.cs: Mark which headers are complete, which functions still need
401 wrapping (for headers which have anything done to them), add #region
402 blocks for each header;
403 export mkfifo(3), fexecve(), getppid(2), setlogin(); fix sleep(3) export.
404 * UnixEnvironment.cs: Export a friendly getppid(2) wrapper.
405 GetParentProcessId isn't in UnixProcess as there's no way (that I know of)
406 to get the Parent's Parent, so it can't be a class member, and exposing it
407 as a static member of UnixProcess doesn't make sense to me, as it isn't
408 general. Added GetUserShells().
409 * UnixProcess.cs: Change constructor to internal, so it can be used from
412 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
414 * Stdlib.cs: Remove printf(3) and fprintf(3). These are vararg/CDECL
415 functions, and it's not portable to call them in this manner.
416 (It's not portable because some architectures, such as AMD64, use a
417 "cookie" as part of the vararg calling sequence to help reduce buffer
418 overflow exploits. Trying to call vararg functions as if they were an
419 overloaded function will not properly set this hardware cookie, resulting
420 in a hardware exception. Talk to lupus for more information.)
422 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
424 * Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs: Remove mount- and umount-related
425 functionality. Mount/umount is inherently non-portable (see the C code
426 for mount/umount), and trying to provide a consistent interface is
427 impossible. If you need mount/umount support, use the command-line
428 programs mount(1) and umount(1).
430 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
432 + Lots o' Renames, as the namespace changed.
433 * PosixConvert.cs: Moved to UnixConvert.cs:
434 * PosixDirectory.cs: Moved to UnixDirectory.cs:
435 * PosixEnvironment.cs: Moved to UnixEnvironment.cs:
436 * PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: Moved to UnixDirectoryInfo.cs:
437 * PosixFile.cs: Moved to UnixFile.cs:
438 * PosixFileInfo.cs: Moved to UnixFileInfo.cs:
439 * PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: Moved to UnixFileSystemInfo.cs:
440 * PosixGroup.cs: Moved to UnixGroup.cs:
441 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: Moved to UnixGroupInfo.cs:
442 * PosixIOException.cs: Moved to UnixIOException.cs:
443 * PosixMarshal.cs: Moved to UnixMarshal.cs:
444 * PosixProcess.cs: Moved to UnixProcess.cs:
445 * PosixStream.cs: Moved to UnixStream.cs:
446 * PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Moved to UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
447 * PosixUser.cs: Moved to UnixUser.cs:
448 * PosixUserInfo.cs: Moved to UnixUserInfo.cs:
449 * Catalog.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs, MapAttribute.cs, PeerCred.cs, Stdlib.cs,
450 Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs,
451 UnixEndPoint.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs,
452 UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixIOException.cs,
453 UnixMarshal.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs,
454 UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Deal with renamed classes/members.
456 2004-11-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
458 * PosixUserInfo.cs: Make the PosixUserInfo(Passwd) constructor public;
459 override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
460 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: Make the PosixGroupInfo(Group) constructor public;
461 override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
462 * PosixIOException.cs: Use PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription instead of
463 calling Syscall.strerror_r directly
464 * PosixMarshal.cs: Add GetErrorDescription. Strerror_r() isn't portable, so
465 GetErrorDescription() first tries strerror_r(), and if it fails falls back
468 - Seal the Dirent class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
469 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
470 - Seal the Group class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
471 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
472 Provide operator== and operator!=.
473 - Seal the Passwd class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
474 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
475 Provide operator== and operator!=.
476 - Remove strerror_r() convenience overload. This is now
477 PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription().
479 2004-11-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
481 * Syscall.cs: Export time-related functions (gettimeofday, settimeofday,
482 utime, utimes), mknod.
484 2004-11-07 Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

489 2004-11-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
491 * PosixConvert.cs: New file; conversion functions for Mono.Posix types.
492 * PosixDirectory.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
493 * PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
494 * PosixEnvironment.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over environment information.
495 * PosixFile.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
496 * PosixFileInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
497 * PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over `stat'.
498 * PosixGroup.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
499 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
500 * PosixIOException.cs: New file; Exception for POSIX-generated exceptions.
501 * PosixMarshal.cs: New file; utility functions for marshaling, etc.
502 * PosixProcess.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over process information.
503 * PosixStream.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file descriptors.
504 * PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over symbolic links.
505 * PosixUser.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
506 * PosixUserInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
507 * Stdlib.cs: New file; C standard library exports.
508 * Syscall.cs: Effective re-write.
509 - Organize exports by header file
510 - add additional enumerations (Error for the E* error values, etc.)
511 - always explicitly specify enumeration underlying type
512 - Use a new wrapping infrastructure so that ABI-stable types are exported
513 - For example, size_t is exported as ulong, not IntPtr.
514 - Wrap more functions, and wrap them better (such as getpwnam).
515 - This release is NOT backward compatible. Many names are the same, and
516 hopefully they're still compatible, but no effort was made to maintain
517 compatibility. For example, FileMode was removed and replaced with
518 FilePermissions, to avoid a name conflict with System.IO.FileMode.
519 - Change umount() to use MonoPosixHelper: portability fix for Mac OS X.
520 * make-map.cs: Another effective re-write, to clean up the code, produce
521 better output, and produce more output. For example, most of
522 PosixConvert can be auto-generated, so it is (modulo version delays and
523 bootstrap issues). `map.c' is now conditional on all macros, and has
524 error checking for invalid/unsupported values.
526 2004-09-18 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>
528 * Syscall.cs: Add support for poll ().
530 2004-09-18 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>
532 * make-map.cs: Use field value not name for #defines.
534 2004-09-14 Loren Bandiera <lorenb@mmgsecurity.com>
536 * Syscall.cs: Added method for getpwnam which uses Passwd
538 * macros.c: Helper function for getpwnam
539 (In committing, Josh Tauberer also added getpwuid.)
541 2004-07-09 Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
543 * PeerCred.cs: Get the unix socket peer credentials.
545 2004-05-26 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
547 * Syscall.cs: Do not let the runtime handle strings, as we do not
548 own those strings, we must transform the char * into a string
551 2004-05-03 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
553 * Syscall.cs: Add symlink
555 2004-04-19 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
557 * Syscall.cs: Use hex values for FileMode, since C# does not have
558 an octal integer mode.
560 2004-03-30 Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>
562 * Added readlink, strerror, opendir, readdir, closedir
563 * Added Mono.Posix.Stat.UnixToDateTime(long unixtime) --> DateTime
565 2004-03-11 Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>
567 * Syscall.cs: Removed argument to getgid that shouldn't be there.
568 Added getusername, getgroupname which wrap getpwuid, getgrgid
569 without dealing with pointers to structures.
570 Removed duplicate FileMode enum nested in Syscall class.
571 Added stat and lstat, which use StatMode enumeration
572 (like FileMode but nicer and complete) and Stat struct.
573 * macros.c: Helper functions for getpwuid, getgrgid, stat, lstat.
575 2004-01-07 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
577 * Syscall.cs: moved the assembly attribute to a proper place
579 * make-map.cs: use reflection to invoke the properties, as it
580 fails under MS runtime.
583 2004-01-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
585 * Syscall.cs: moved assembly attribute and added unsafe block to fix
586 the build on windows.
588 2003-11-11 Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org
590 * Syscall.cs: Applied patch from Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org> to
593 2003-05-16 Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
595 * UnixEndPoint.cs: New property to get and set the filename, like
596 the IPEndPoint has for the IP address. Also implement ToString().
598 Tue Apr 29 16:53:56 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>
600 * Syscall.cs: remove the unsafe mess.
