3 * UnixStream.cs: .Close() shouldn't close(2) the fd unless owner==true;
4 .Flush() should be a no-op (as System.IO.Stream.Flush doesn't gaurantee
5 that .Flush() actually flush to disk, and .Flush() slows things down a
6 lot); see: http://joeshaw.org/2006/08/21/415.
8 2006-08-16 Alp Toker <alp@atoker.com>
11 * AbstractUnixEndPoint.cs: Second half of the fix for #79084.
12 Add support for the abstract namespace, and update existing file-based
13 UnixEndPoint (de)serialization to reflect changes in the runtime.
15 2006-07-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
17 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Oops. CreateSymbolicLinkTo() should create
18 FullPath, not OriginalName. This was fixed in one overload in January,
19 but I missed an overload. :-/
21 2006-07-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
23 * UnixPath.cs: Follow .NET's System.IO.Path.Combine() behavior, and "reset"
24 the generated path if any argument beings with a path root --
25 UnixPath.Combine("/a", "/b") should return "/b", not "/a/b". Fixes #78580.
27 2006-04-21 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
29 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: rename Create() to GetFileSystemEntry(), and make
30 it public (so that other's don't need to worry about the
31 Syscall.lstat()-and-switch to create a UnixFileSystemInfo instance).
32 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
33 s/Create/GetFileSystemEntry/g (to cope with above change).
35 2006-03-09 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
37 * UnixEndPoint.cs: added GetHashCode/Equals.
39 2006-03-06 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
41 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: Remove requirement that mountPoints be avaible via
42 getfsfile(3). This isn't always the case -- in particular drives mounted
43 via HAL and other mechanisms won't be listed in /etc/fstab, and thus won't
44 be returned via getfsfile(3). If getfsfile(3) fails, then we "guess" on
45 the drive format and volume label.
46 * UnixStream.cs: RefreshStat() should assert that the instance hasn't been
48 * UnixEnvironment.cs (GetConfigurationValue, GetConfigurationString): Fix
51 2006-02-23 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
53 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Create() should return a UnixFileInfo if the file
54 doesn't exist. This allows callers to use UnixFileInfo.Exists to see if
55 the file exists, and behaves more rationally e.g. if the directory
56 contents changes while calling UnixDirectoryInfo.GetFileSystemEntries(),
57 we'll get a UnixFileInfo entry that doesn't exist instead of an exception
58 terminating the entire array creation.
59 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: [Obsolete] the Contents property -- this property
60 *always* creates a new object if HasContents=true, and since a
61 UnixFileSystemInfo instance is (104+2*(sizeof(void*))+1) bytes (~113 bytes
62 on 32-bit platforms), we don't want to create these frequently. Add a
63 GetContents() method as the replacement, to make it (slightly) more
64 explicit that information won't be cached (and thus should be cached by
65 the caller, if appropriate). GetContents() throws an exception if
66 HasContents=false instead of returning null; this change brings the
67 implementation in line with the documentation.
69 2006-02-18 Alp Toker <alp@atoker.com>
71 * UnixEndPoint.cs: Avoid truncation of last two bytes of SocketAddress
74 2006-01-26 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
76 * UnixMarshal.cs: Check for null arguments in PtrToString() and
79 2006-01-24 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
81 * UnixMarshal.cs (StringToHeap): Return IntPtr.Zero if `s' is null.
83 2006-01-24 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
85 * UnixMarshal.cs (StringToHeap): Check for null arguments.
87 2006-01-20 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
89 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: Properties should generate an InvalidOperationException,
90 not an IOException. Users can use IsReady to avoid exception generation.
91 * UnixIOException.cs: Create a custom message that embeds the error name
92 within the text, e.g. "Permission denied [EACCES]."
93 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: This really should create the file FullPath, not
94 OriginalPath. Created files shouldn't ever be relative to the current
95 working directory, as this can change at any time.
97 2006-01-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
99 * UnixUserInfo.cs: The UnixUserInfo(Native.Passwd) constructor and
100 ToPasswd() should clone the underlying Native.Passwd, so
101 that it doesn't get changed from underneath it.
102 * UnixGroupInfo.cs: The UnixGroupInfo(Native.Group) constructor should also
103 clone the provided Native.Group instance.
105 2006-01-14 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
107 * UnixGroupInfo.cs: ToGroup() should clone the underlying Native.Group, so
108 that it doesn't get changed from underneath it.
110 2006-01-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
112 * Catalog.cs, UnixMarshal.cs: Throw `UnixIOException(Native.Errno.ENOMEM)`
113 instead of System.OutOfMemoryException. OOME should be reserved for use
114 by the CLR (according to FxDG).
116 2006-01-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
118 * UnixPath.cs: Add ReadLink() and TryReadLink() methods.
120 2006-01-12 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@novell.com>
122 * PeerCred.cs: Do not define PeerCredData as this is a structure
123 known to the runtime. Instead use the Mono.Posix.PeerCredData
126 2006-01-10 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
128 * Catalog.cs: Don't use
129 System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.StringToHGlobalAuto(), use
130 UnixMarshal.StringToHeap(). We require that the converted string be in
131 UTF-8 format, but .NET's Marshal.StringToHGlobalAuto converts to the local
132 code page, *not* UTF-8 (Mono's does UTF-8). UnixMarshal.StringToHeap
133 *always* does UTF-8, so use that instead.
135 2006-01-09 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
137 * FileTypes.cs: Remove [Flags] attribute -- these aren't bitfield values.
138 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Fix Is<<Type>> properties -- before it would
139 erroneously say that a symlink was a character device. (This is because
140 device values are *not* [Flags] values, but code was assuming they were.)
141 * UnixGroupInfo.cs: Clone the string[] returned from GetMemberNames(). We
142 don't want callers to change the underlying list.
144 2006-01-07 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
146 * UnixMarshal.cs: *Actually* put things in alphabetical order (like the
147 comment says). I can speak english, really I can.
149 2006-01-06 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
151 * Catalog.cs: s/libintl/intl/g, since intl.dll is used by GTK+ on Windows,
152 not libintl.dll (according to
153 http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html).
155 2006-01-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
157 * UnixMarshal.cs (CreateExceptionForError): Don't map ENOMEM to
158 System.OutOfMemoryException. OOME should be reserved for use by the CLR.
159 Return a UnixIOException instead (default behavior).
161 2006-01-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
163 * StdioFileStream.cs: Shut up FxCop - add a GC.KeepAlive to
165 * UnixClient.cs, UnixListener.cs: Use System.MarshalByRefObject as the base
166 class. These types implement IDisposable and have a finalizer, so if an
167 instance of these types were sent to another AppDomain they'd previously
168 marshal by copy, which could lead to a double release of an unmanaged
169 resource -- potential badness. Using MarshalByRefObject fixes this.
171 2006-01-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
173 * UnixMarshal.cs: s/EACCESS/EACCES/g. I can't read.
175 2006-01-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
177 * StdioFileStream.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs,
178 UnixFileInfo.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs,
179 UnixIOException.cs, UnixMarshal.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs,
180 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Remove Obsolete API.
181 * CdeclFunction.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs, Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs,
182 UnixConvert.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixGroup.cs,
184 * UnixPath.cs: Remove InvalidPathChars; use GetInvalidPathChars() instead.
185 * FileTypes.cs: Remove Obsolete API
187 2006-01-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
189 * FileAccessPermissions.cs: Remove UserMask, GroupMask, OtherMask values.
190 * FileSpecialAttributes.cs: Remove AllAttributes member; it shouldn't be
191 public. Use UnixFileSystemInfo.AllSpecialAttributes instead.
192 * StdioFileStream.cs: Open files in binary mode, not text;
193 Fix exception message for StdioFileStream(path, mode) mode param check.
194 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: Add Create(FileAccessPermissions) overload; change
195 GetFileSystemEntries() to include the directory name that the files came
196 from (otherwise they're in the current working direcetory, which they
198 * UnixFileInfo.cs: Add Create(FileAccessPermissions) overload; Add better
199 argument checking to several Open() overloads.
200 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add AllSpecialAttributes, AllFileTypes members;
201 FullPath member should invalidate instance if path changes; Change return
202 type of GetFileStatus for maintenance/better documentation; ToStat()
203 should ensure that the instance is valid first.
204 * UnixMarshal.cs: Add additional Errno values to CreateExceptionForError();
205 reformat CreateExceptionForError for maintenance.
206 * UnixPath.cs: Obsolete InvalidPathChars -- FxCop never liked it, and now I
207 know why it didn't like it (thank you Framework Design Guidelines!).
208 * UnixStream.cs: Use UnixFileSystemInfo.AllSpecialAttributes, not
209 FileSpecialAttributes.AllAttributes (which was removed).
210 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Change return type of GetFileStatus().
212 2005-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
214 * FileHandleOperations.cs: Check for null references.
216 2005-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
218 * UnixMarshal.cs: Errno.EBADF should also trigger a ArgumentException.
220 2005-12-27 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
222 * FileHandleOperations.cs, FileTypes.cs, Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs,
223 UnixConvert.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs, UnixDriveInfo.cs,
224 UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs,
225 UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixIOException.cs, UnixMarshal.cs,
226 UnixPath.cs, UnixPipes.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs,
227 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs, UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Mark to-be-removed
228 API with [Obsolete(IsError=true)] (permits compiler assistance for finding
229 obsolete code); Migrate to the Mono.Unix.Native API.
230 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add non-Obsolete overloads for SaveFilePosition &
231 RestoreFilePosition (oops). Migrate to Mono.Unix.Native API.
233 2005-12-07 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
235 * UnixMarshal.cs: Add PtrToStringUnix() -- specialized PtrToString method
236 which is significantly faster than PtrToString(p, UnixEncoding.Instance).
237 Use System.String..ctor(sbyte*, int, int, Encoding) to avoid the byte[]
238 intermediate copy -- much faster. Fix PtrToString() so that it will
239 accept an IntPtr containing 0 characters, and don't duplicate strings
242 2005-11-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
244 * Catalog.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs, UnixDriveInfo.cs,
245 UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs,
246 UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs,
247 UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Change types of [Obsolete] members for
248 consistency and CLS compliance; Mono.Unix.Native type migration.
249 * FileTypes.cs: s/Special/Device/g (CharacterSpecial ==> CharacterDevice).
250 The *Special was a BSD convention, while UnixFileSystemInfo uses *Device
251 in property names, and these should be consistent. Changing the enum is
252 simpler than changing the UnixFileSystemInfo properties.
253 * UnixIOException.cs: s/error/errno/g (FxCop suggestion); change type of
255 * UnixMarshal.cs: s/error/errno/g (FxCop suggestion); Mono.Unix.Native
258 2005-11-08 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
260 * Catalog.cs: Exception safety improvements (don't let memory leak!); check
261 for errors with bindtextdomain(3) et. al.
263 2005-11-08 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
265 * UnixPipes.cs: Provide Equals, GetHashCode, and operator==/operator!= to
266 conform with FxCop guidelines for structures.
268 2005-11-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
270 * FileTypes.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: s/FIFO/Fifo/ to follow .NET
271 naming conventions (as reported by FxCop).
273 2005-11-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
275 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs, UnixDriveInfo.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs,
276 UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixUserInfoc.cs:
277 Obsolete statements now specify in what way the return type will change.
278 * IncludeAttribute.cs: Obsoleted. It's an error to use it now.
280 2005-11-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
282 * FileAccessPattern.cs: Change enumeration names to match Robert Love's more
283 sensible names from his FileAdvise class used in Beagle
284 (UseSoon --> PreLoad, WillNotUse --> FlushCache).
285 * FileHandleOperations.cs: Added; contains AdviseFileAccessPattern()
286 (moved from UnixFile.cs).
287 * UnixDirectory.cs: Obsolete the class; use UnixDirectoryInfo instead.
288 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: Add GetCurrentDirectory(), SetCurrentDirectory().
289 * UnixFile.cs: Obsolete the class; use UnixFileInfo, FileHandleOperations,
290 or UnixPipes instead.
291 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add ToStat() method.
292 * UnixGroup.cs: Obsolete the class; use UnixGroupInfo instead.
293 * UnixGroupInfo.cs: Obsolete & Replace constructor, add GetMemberNames(),
295 * UnixPipes.cs: Added (type moved from UnixFile.cs).
296 * UnixStream.cs: AdviseFileAccessPattern() uses FileHandleOperations now.
297 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Implement TryReadLink() to avoid constant buffer
298 re-sizing. Stevens states that the file size of the symlink is the number
299 of bytes needed to hold the symlink, so this should be faster.
300 * UnixUser.cs: Obsolete the class; use UnixUserInfo instead.
301 * UnixUserInfo.cs: Obsolete & Replace constructor; add useful static members
302 from UnixUser such as GetLoginName(), GetLocalUsers(), etc.
304 2005-10-27 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
306 * UnixEnvironment.cs: Add RealUser, RealGroup, EffectiveUser, EffectiveGroup
307 properties; [Obsolete] necessary methods and provide replacements.
308 * UnixStream.cs: Add OwnerUser(Id), OwnerGroup(Id) properties;
309 improve Stat handling.
311 2005-10-26 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
313 * UnixEncoding.cs: Change EscapeByte to 0x0000, as suggested by Michal
315 * UnixPath.cs: Remove '\0' from InvalidPathChars, since U+0000 is now used
316 as the path escape character for marshaling purposes.
318 2005-10-26 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
320 * UnixMarshal.cs: Obsolete heap-related methods to have a Heap suffix
321 (AllocHeap, FreeHeap, etc.), and change StringToAlloc() to be
322 StringToHeap(). This creates a stronger name association between related
325 2005-10-26 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
327 * UnixIOException.cs: Add (string) and (string, Exception) constructors to
328 silence FxCop; re-work logic so we lookup the error string at construction
329 time and use this as the message for the base class.
331 2005-10-25 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
333 * Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs: Filenames need to be marshaled through the
334 FileNameMarshaler, which will encode/decode filenames with UnixEncoding.
335 * UnixEncoding.cs: Added (copied from
336 ../../corlib/System.Text/UTF8Encoding.cs); a hack to permit handling of
337 arbitrarily encoded filenames. It attempts to decode a byte[] array as
338 UTF-8, and if the decode fails it prefixes each byte with
339 UnixEncoding.EscapeByte (\uFFFF).
340 * UnixMarshal.cs: Use UnixEncoding as the default encoding, and special-case
341 UnixEncoding to use Stdlib.strlen() for native string lengths.
343 2005-10-21 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
345 * FileAccessPattern.cs: Added
346 * UnixFile.cs, UnixStream.cs: Deprecate all the Advise* methods (lots!)
347 and replace with 6 methods which take a FileAccessPattern enum.
349 2005-10-19 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
351 * FileAccessPermissions.cs, FileSpecialAttributes.cs, FileTypes.cs: Added.
352 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixStream.cs: Replace the old Permission property
353 with 4 new properties: Protection (for the Native.FilePermissions value),
354 FileAccessPermissions (for rwxrwxrwx info), FileSpecialAttributes (for
355 set-user-id, set-group-id, sticky), and FileTypes (directory, socket...).
356 The new enumeration types have nicer CLS-compliant names.
358 2005-10-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
360 * UnixMarshal.cs: Fix GetIntXxBufferLength to require fewer
361 Marshal.ReadIntXx() calls; Fix PtrToString so that
362 ``"foo" == PtrToString (StringToAlloc("foo",enc),enc)'' is true for
365 2005-10-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
367 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add OwnerUserId and OwnerGroupId properties.
369 2005-10-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
371 * UnixDriveInfo.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs,
372 UnixGroup.cs, UnixStream.cs, UnixUser.cs: Don't use SetLastError(), since
373 it's use is (1) incorrect, and (2) will be going away with the move to
374 Mono.Unix.Native.Syscall. Instead use the Native.Syscall.* APIs which
377 2005-10-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
379 * UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs,
380 UnixStream.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs, UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs:
381 Start migrating uid/gid to long (from uint) for CLS compliance.
382 (Full migration must wait 'til after the next release as this would
383 require changes to existing members.)
384 * UnixEnvironment.cs: Above, and add RealUserId/RealGroupId and
385 EffectiveUserId/EffectiveGroupId.
387 2005-10-14 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
389 * Catalog.cs: Create a constructor and mark it [Obsolete]. It will be made
390 private after the next release.
391 * UnixFile.cs, UnixStream.cs: Deal with Mono.Unix.Native type name changes.
392 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: [Obsolete] more members; Deal with Mono.Unix.Native
394 * Syscall.cs: Create maps for PathConf, SysConf, ConfStr again; fpathconf(),
395 pathconf(), and sysconf() should call Native.Syscall since the
396 MonoPosixHelper.so helpers have changed.
398 2005-10-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
400 * UnixMarshal.cs: More/better StringToAlloc/PtrToString which take a
401 System.Text.Encoding instance for proper string marshaling.
402 - PtrToString(string,Encoding) is particularly tricky due to variable
404 - Fix StringToAlloc so that it works properly with UTF-16 encodings
405 (we need a terminating null 16-bit word, not a null byte).
406 - StringToAlloc overload for doing substrings.
408 2005-10-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
410 * UnixStream.cs: Check for EROFS and EINVAL in Flush(). Snorp was getting
411 an exception when he created a UnixStream around a socket, because
412 sockets can't be flushed. It should be acceptable to create a UnixStream
413 around a socket, so don't throw an exception in this scenario.
415 2005-10-06 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
417 * UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs UnixFile.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs,
418 UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixIOException.cs, UnixStream.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs:
419 API Review: Obsolete appropriate members and add appropriate overloads for
420 pending move to Mono.Unix.Native types.
421 * UnixMarshal.cs: API Review; add StringToAlloc().
423 2005-09-26 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
425 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Exists shouldn't use access(2), as (1) Exists isn't
426 virtual, and (2) access(2) errors if you try to access(2) a symlink which
427 points nowhere. Use (l)stat(2) instead, via GetFileStatus(), as this lets
428 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo behave properly.
429 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: The Contents property should return null if the
430 symlink target doesn't exist.
432 2005-09-20 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
434 * Syscall.cs: Add [Map] to AccessMode and MmapProt, as the Mono.Unix.Native
435 replacements go by different names (AccessModes, MmapProts), but we need
436 to continue generating the mapping code for these types (backward compat).
438 2005-09-20 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
440 * CdeclFunction.cs: [Obsolete]d by Mono.Unix.Native.CdeclFunction.
441 * make-map.cs: Remove.
442 * Stdlib.cs: [Obsolete] the types; use the Mono.Unix.Native.* types instead.
443 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add GC.KeepAlive statements to prevent premature GC's
445 * Syscall.cs: Remove [Map] attribute from all types; [CLSCompliant(false)]
446 work; [Obsolete] all types and suggest using the Mono.Unix.Native.*
447 replacements; remove [IncludeAttribute] -- superseded by
448 Mono.Unix.Native/Syscall.cs's [HeaderAttribte] for CLS compliance.
449 * UnixConvert.cs: [Obsolete]d by Mono.Unix.Native.NativeConvert.
450 * UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDriveInfo.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs,
451 UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs,
452 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs, UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs:
453 Add [CLSCompliant(false)] as necessary.
454 * UnixFile.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs:
455 [CLSCompliant(false)], addition of method overloads for [Obsolete]d types,
456 warn about changing return types.
457 * UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs: Add [CLSCompliant(false)] as necessary,
458 and warn about changing property types.
460 2005-09-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
462 * Stdlib.cs: Cache delegates passed to Stdlib.signal() so that they survive
463 garbage collections. Delegates can be removed by calling Stdlib.signal()
464 again with one of the Stdlib.SIG_* values (or the original return value of
466 * UnixUser.cs, UnixGroup.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs: Clarify "Id" (int) vs.
467 "Name" (string) differences by always using a Id or Name suffix.
469 2005-07-01 Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>
471 * Syscall.cs: The entire extended attribute API now goes through MPH, to
472 be shared between both Linux's and FreeBSD's similar EA implementations.
474 2005-06-29 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
476 * StdioFileStream.cs: Only flush if we do not own the handle, as
477 fclose does a flush internally.
479 2005-06-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
481 * UnixEnvironment: Add User, Login properties.
482 * Syscall.cs: Add locking around cuserid, crypt, encrypt, getlogin.
484 2005-06-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
486 * Syscall.cs: SyslogFacility shouldn't be [Flags] either. Sigh.
487 Thanks to Vorobiev Maksim for pointing this out.
488 * make-map.cs: Don't generate conversion code for [Obsolete] enum members.
489 This assumes that (1) the enum member's value is invalid, or (2) a
490 corrected member with the same value exists. This fix allows us to
491 obsolete invalid members (instead of removing them) without screwing up
492 the generated code -- consider LOG_USRE, the mis-spelling of LOG_USER.
493 Since SyslogFacility was (incorrectly) a [Flags] enum, since both LOG_USER
494 and LOG_USRE had the same value, we'd get a EINVAL error trying to convert
495 a valid value, since LOG_USRE would exist, would be checked for, and the
496 check would succeed (since it had the same value as LOG_USER).
497 This change allows us to be slightly more permissive with versioning.
499 2005-06-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
501 * Syscall.cs: correct value of LOG_CRON (it shouldn't be identical to
502 LOG_UUCP). SyslogLevel shouldn't have [Flags]. Move LOG_USER to be
503 before LOG_USRE so that the generated map code doesn't return EINVAL when
504 LOG_USER is specified.
506 2005-06-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
508 * Syscall.cs: s/LOG_USRE/LOG_USER/. Fixes #75274.
509 Thanks to Martin Honermeyer.
511 2005-06-09 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
513 * make-map.cs: Look for [Obsolete] members, and mark the UnixConvert
514 conversion functions with the same [Obsolete] message. This should permit
515 more graceful deprecation of enumerations in the future (rather than just
518 2005-06-08 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
520 * Syscall.cs: Add execvp(2). (This should have been added with the other
521 exec(2) additions...).
523 2005-06-08 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
525 * Syscall.cs: Update comment with correct exception type.
526 * UnixConvert.cs: Rename ToFilePermissions(string) to
527 FromOctalPermissionString; Add ToOctalPermissionString,
528 FromUnixPermissionString, ToUnixPermissionString.
529 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove ErrorMarshal.HaveStrerror_r and
530 UnixMarshal.IsErrorDescriptionThreadSafe. strerror(3) is now thread-safe
531 (from managed code, at least). Update comment.
533 2005-06-07 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
535 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Don't use lstat(2), use stat(2). This fits with
536 expectations better -- if you create a UnixFileInfo() on a symlink, you
537 want to get the target's information, not the symlink's info. Add
538 GetFileStatus so UnixSymbolicLinkInfo can override this behavior.
539 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Implement GetFileStatus() (which calls lstat(2)).
541 2005-06-07 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
543 * Syscall.cs: Document naming conventions.
545 2005-06-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
547 * make-map.cs: Change automatic "ifdef HAVE_<header>" support prefix to
548 "ah:" from ">". I hadn't known about ">", and "ah:" is (somewhat) more
550 * Syscall.cs: Change IncludeAttribute to put all headers/defines one/line.
551 It's easier to read this way. Add "ah:sys/xattr.h" to the headers.
553 2005-06-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
555 * Stdlib.cs: Add sanity checking to snprintf(3) to avoid buffer overflows.
557 2005-06-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
559 * StdioFileStream.cs: Remove FilePosition property & replace with
560 SaveFilePosition/RestoreFilePosition methods. Since FilePosition has a
561 finalizer, it's not right to have implicitly created instances.
563 - FilePosition: GC.SuppressFinalize() should be last in Dispose()
564 (following .NET guidelines).
565 - Syscall: Add locking around functions most likely to be thread unsafe.
566 This should provide some level of thread-safety to managed code.
567 * Syscall.cs: Add locking around functions most likely to be thread unsafe;
568 add mkstemp(3) export.
569 * UnixEnvironment.cs: GetUserShells should be atomic (from managed code).
570 * UnixGroup.cs: GetLocalGroups should be atomic (from managed code).
571 * UnixGroupInfo.cs: Add ToGroup() method to retrieve underlying Group info.
572 * UnixUser.cs: GetLocalUsers should be atomic (from managed code).
573 * UnixUserInfo.cs: Add ToPasswd () method to retrieve underlying Passwd info.
574 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: GetDrives should be atomic (from managed code).
576 2005-05-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
578 * Stdlib.cs: Add comment for atexit(3) so I don't try to add it.
579 * Syscall.cs: Add fcntl(2) overload which takes DirectoryNotifyFlags (so
580 that *something* accepts a DirectoryNotifyFlags); Fix IncludeAttribute
581 header files (">sys/poll.h" doesn't exist);
582 Add additional <sys/mman.h> functions mmap, munmap, msync, mlock, munlock,
583 mlockall, munlockall, mremap, mincore, remap_file_pages.
584 * UnixConvert.cs: Add conversion functions for MmapFlags, MmapProt, MsyncFlags,
585 MlockallFlags, MremapFlags.
587 2005-05-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
589 * Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs: Rename LockFlags to LockfCommand. This is a more
590 consistent naming, and it's more correct (they weren't flags in the first place).
592 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
594 * Stdlib.cs: Correct Mono_Posix_Stdlib_InvokeSignalHandler export.
596 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
598 * make-map.cs: Process the Mono.Posix namespace as well as Mono.Unix; add
599 mapping for Boolean => int for native type conversion.
601 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
603 * make-map.cs: Add a MphPrototypeFileGenerator, which looks for DllImport
604 methods across all types and generates a C header file declaration for
605 those methods. This allows us to ensure consistency between
606 Mono.Posix.dll and MonoPosixHelper.so. Rename WrapperFileGenerator to
607 ConvertFileGenerator (it generates UnixConvert).
608 * MapAttribute.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs: Make these internal -- there's no
609 reason for external users to even know these exist.
610 * StdioFileStream.cs: Move GC.SuppressFinalize call to be last Dispose()
611 call. This follows current design guidelines, and allows an exception to
612 be thrown from Dispose() without un-registering the finalizer.
613 * Syscall.cs: Change method declarations to match MonoPosixHelper, etc.
614 - posix_fallocate(P) takes a size_t
615 - mis-spelled settimeofday(2), sethostname(2)
616 - exec(2) can be public; it's safe to call
617 - change lseek(2) so int's are passed to MonoPosixHelper.so, not shorts
618 - We can't allow two incompatible prototypes to exist (since C allows
619 only one prototype, and we're cross-checking prototypes now). Change
620 utime(2) so only one prototype is needed.
621 * UnixMarshal.cs: ErrorMarshal.ErrorTranslator and ErrorMarshal.Translate
622 shouldn't be public; make them internal.
623 * UnixStream.cs: Remove `unsafe` code block when a "safe" alternative works;
624 Close() should also call GC.SuppressFinalize.
626 2005-05-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
628 * Syscall.cs: The Statvfs structure should contain a MountFlags enumeration,
629 not a ulong (we can "safely" do this since POSIX defines some values for
630 f_flag, so we should be kind and expose them).
631 * UnixConvert.cs: Add MountFlags conversion functions.
633 2005-05-02 Joe Shaw <joeshaw@novell.com>
635 * UnixListener.cs (Init): Remove the call to Cleanup() and the
636 method itself, which was not supposed to be here. We try to
637 connect to the socket if it exists instead of deleting it
640 2005-04-30 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@ximian.com>
642 * Stdlib.cs: Comment out usage of `UnmanagedFunctionPointer'. It
643 isn't supported in the runtime -- it throws an assert -- so better
644 not to use it at all for now.
646 2005-04-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
648 * UnixConvert.cs: Fix time_t -> DateTime conversions. time_t should be
649 assumed to be in the local time zone, so don't mess with UTC shifts.
650 This allows Mono.Unix to produce sane output (e.g. identical to ls(1) or
651 stat(1), instead of several hours different).
653 2005-04-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
655 * Stdlib.cs: Make FilePosition slightly more useful by providing a
656 ToString() override which dumps the fpos_t structure contents into a
657 hex string. Add Equals(), GetHashCode(), operator==, and operator!=
658 so FilePosition behaves like a value type.
660 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
663 * UnixListener.cs: TcpListener/TcpClient clones from Jow Shaw.
665 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
667 * Mono.Posix.dll.sources: added UnixListener and UnixClient from Joe
670 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
672 * UnixEndPoint.cs: fix from Mono.Posix.
674 2005-04-20 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
676 * Syscall.cs: Make all fork(2) and exec(2) functions `private`. It
677 currently isn't safe to call these under *any* circumstances. See also
678 68141, and this pertinent quote from Butenhof's
679 "Programming with POSIX Threads", p197, s6.1:
681 "When a threaded process calls fork to create a child process,
682 Pthreads specifies that only the thread calling fork exists in the
683 child. ... Pthreads does not 'terminate' the other threads in a forked
684 process...They simply cease to exist. ... This is not a problem if
685 the child process is about to call exec to run a new program, but if
686 you use fork to clone a threaded program, beware that you may lose
687 access to memory, especially heap memory stored only as
688 thread-specific data values."
690 Since P/Invoke currently requires using thread local storage, once you
691 fork(2) you won't be able to invoke exec(2) from managed code (since that
692 would require a P/Invoke transition to call exec(2), which would require
693 TLS, which doesn't exist in the new process).
695 This can only be fixed by removing the TLS dependency on P/Invoke, which
696 isn't a priority (and may not be possible).
698 The workaround is to create a C function which does your fork(2)/exec(2)
699 (and any other functions such as daemon(3)) on your behalf, and P/Invoke
700 to call this C function.
702 2005-04-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
704 * Syscall.cs: Update comment specifying which functions belong in Syscall.
705 * UnixConvert.cs: Add XattrFlags conversion functions.
706 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warning about self-assignment.
708 2005-04-16 Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>
710 * Syscall.cs: Add bindings for extended attribute manipulation
712 2005-04-05 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@novell.com>
714 * Syscall.cs: Set entry point for sys_syslog to be syslog.
715 Include the syslog.h header in the generated map so that we
716 actually do the mapping.
718 2005-03-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
720 * UnixConvert.cs: Add ToFopenMode() methods, which convert FileMode/FileAccess
721 into an fopen(3) mode string. ToOpenFlags() should throw
722 ArgumentOutOfRangeException for argument violations.
723 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add constructor overloads accepting filename and
724 FileMode/FileAccess overloads; Compatibility fixes with regression tests;
725 remove IDisposable implementation since System.IO.Stream already
726 implements it (which calls Close() for us).
728 2005-03-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
730 * Stdlib.cs: Move Errno-related functionality into Stdlib from Syscall,
731 since (1) errno is part of C89, and (2) StdioFileStream will need it, and
732 StdioFileStream shouldn't use Syscall. Add [UnmanagedFunctionPointer]
733 attribute to SignalHandler for .NET 2.0 (since signal handlers use C
734 calling convention, not Stdcall).
735 * Syscall.cs: Move Errno-related functionality into Stdlib.
736 * UnixMarshal.cs: Use ERANGE not EPERM when figuring out appropriate
737 translator, since ERANGE is part of C99 and EPERM isn't. Use Stdlib
738 instead of Syscall for Errno-related functionality.
740 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
742 * UnixFile.cs: Cope with changes in UnixStream.
743 * UnixStream.cs: Change FileDescriptor property to Handle for consistency.
744 * StdioFileStream.cs: Change FileStream property to Handle for consistency.
746 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
748 * Syscall.cs: Remove public sys_ methods. Some were public by mistake, and
749 others so that users could manually marshal strings if desired. Manually
750 marshaling strings shouldn't be necessary, though, so remove them too.
752 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
754 * StdioFileStream.cs: Fix Length property to actually return the size of the
755 file, not the # of bytes from the current position to EOF. Oops.
757 2005-01-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
759 * Stdlib.cs: Import "msvcrt", not "libc". These members are part of the
760 ANSI C standard, and thus should be present on Windows via msvcrt.dll
761 (except snprintf, until they catch up to C99). Change the calling
762 convention of all functions to Cdecl, as the .NET default is Stdcall.
763 Changing the calling convention isn't needed in Syscall, as it can only be
764 run on Unix platforms anyway, where the default is Cdecl.
765 * Syscall.cs: Add LIBC member that points to the real "libc"; we can't use
766 the imported definition from Stdlib as "msvcrt" doesn't exist on Unix.
768 2005-01-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
770 * Stdlib.cs: sys_* functions shouldn't be public.
772 2005-01-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
774 * make-map.cs: libMonoPosixHelper exports Mono_Posix prefixes, not Mono_Unix
775 prefixes, so change the type and namespace to generate compatible code.
776 * Syscall.cs: Change OpenFlags values so they match the Linux values.
778 2005-01-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
780 * Stdlib.cs: Use Stdlib.LIBC instead of "libc".
781 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add FilePosition property (not that I expect anyone to
782 use it) and Rewind() method.
784 2005-01-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
786 * StdioFileStream.cs: Added; System.IO.Stream wrapper for C FILE struct.
787 * Stdlib.cs: Correct visibility of ftell().
789 2005-01-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
791 * Stdlib.cs: Re-order declarations to match the order used in the
792 C99 Standard Annex B; Complete <stdio.h> exports (except for those not
793 worth supporting); Add non-"unsafe" versions of fread(3), fwrite(3) and
794 add some rudimentary buffer-overflow checking; Add <stdlib.h> exports such
795 as getenv(3), exit(3), rand(3), EXIT_SUCCESS, RAND_MAX, etc.
797 2005-01-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
799 * Syscall.cs: Update endfsent() and setfsent() declarations, as these must
800 now be implemented in MonoPosixHelper.
802 2005-01-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
804 * Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs: Minimize duplicate declarations of
805 "MonoPosixHelper" for use in DllImport statements.
807 2005-01-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
809 * Stdlib.cs: Don't use C# v2 features; fixes build under CSC.EXE.
811 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
813 * Stdlib.cs: On miguel's suggestion, rename Sighandler_t to SignalHandler.
815 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
817 * Stdlib.cs: Implement all C89 <stdio.h> functions except for the scanf(3)
818 family. These are too dangerous to expose.
820 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
822 * CdeclFunctions.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
823 * Stdlib.cs: Make signal(2) sane and (hopefully) complete.
824 * Syscall.cs: Fix cuserid Obsolete message to reference correct class name.
825 * UnixProcess.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
826 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warnings about unused variables.
828 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
830 * UnixPath.cs: Add ReadSymbolicLink(), which takes an intelligent approach
831 to reading symlinks (since their contents may be any size, we grow the
832 buffer dynamically to fit them all, instead of assuming a maximum size).
833 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Remove MaxContentsSize.
835 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
837 * UnixPath.cs: Add check for when symlink points to a full path name.
839 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
841 * Syscall.cs: Fix Object.Equals implementations.
842 * UnixPath.cs: New & improved, with Testing! GetRealPath() is changed so
843 that it doesn't walk the entire path looking for symlinks, it just reads
844 the leaf. GetCompletRealPath() walks the entire path resolving symlinks.
845 GetCanonicalPath() added, which "cleans up" a path (removing extraneous
846 "." and ".." entries).
847 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Rename ContentsLength -> MaxContentsSize.
849 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
851 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add a link(2) wrapper, CreateLink(). Strictly
852 speaking it's only "safe" to do this on files, but an exception will be
853 returned if the user tries to hard link directories (because of EPERM),
854 unless the user is root, in which case it should be allowed anyway...
856 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
858 * CdeclFunctions.cs: Correct the comments for AMD64
859 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: override Name; add Parent & Root properties;
860 Correct Path usage (s/Path/FullPath/g).
861 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: Added. Based on .NET 2.0 System.IO.DriveInfo docs,
862 provides statvfs(2) and getfsfile(3) information about a mounted volume.
863 GetDrives() wraps getfsent(3), thus parsing /etc/fstab.
864 * UnixFile.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version.
865 * UnixFileInfo.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version;
866 override Name; add DirectoryName and Directory properties;
867 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Make more .NET-like, using FullPath and
868 OriginalPath protected members, abstract Name property; Add
869 CreateSymbolicLink; Remove ReadLink (it's now
870 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.Contents); Use lstat(2) for Create(string), so we
871 properly detect Symbolic Links.
872 * UnixPath.cs: Added; Path manipulation utility functions.
873 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
875 - override new abstract member Name;
876 - rename ReadLink to ContentsPath (and Contents) properties
877 (why "Contents"? Because readlink(2) says "readlink places the
878 contents of the symbolic link in the buffer...")
879 - Add CreateSymbolicLinkTo(), which creates a symlink to the specified
882 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
884 * Stdlib.cs: Add syslog(3) to XPrintfFunctions; Add additional printf(3)
885 and fprintf(3) overload which properly escape the format string
886 (by using "%s" as the format for the user-supplied message).
887 * Syscall.cs: Add #regions for enummerations, structures, classes; Wrap
888 syslog(3) and related enumerations; fix operator!= on Dirent, Group;
889 wrap {f}statvfs(2); wrap <fstab.h> entries (getfsent(3), etc.).
890 * UnixConvert.cs: Add Syslog-releated enumeration translation functions;
891 Move ToOpenFlags here from UnixFile and UnixFileInfo.
892 * UnixMarshal.cs: Missing P/Invoke methods throw
893 EntryPointNotFoundException, not MissingMethodException; add
894 EscapeFormatString, which escapes printf-style format strings so that they
895 can be safely handed off to native code (avoiding stack overflow, etc);
896 make CreateExceptionForError internal.
898 2004-12-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
900 * Stdlib.cs: Add more <stdio.h> wrappers, such as fread(3) and fwrite(3).
901 These will be useful in implementing System.IO.Stream subclass for
902 reading/writing to a FILE*. Fix a typo in the realloc(3) DllImport.
903 * Syscall.cs: Fix the sys_kill and sys_crypt declarations.
904 * CdeclFunction.cs: Document calling convention problems on AMD64.
906 2004-11-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
908 * CdeclFunction.cs: Added.
909 * Stdlib.cs: Re-add printf(3) and fprintf(3). They may not be portable (the
910 jury is still out on that; the AMD64 SysV ABI looks like it should be
911 portable to AMD64 to my eyes), but they will work on *some* platforms, so
912 we should permit it. The new implementation takes a page out of
913 cocoa-sharp: use System.Reflection.Emit to generate a P/Invoke method at
914 runtime to invoke printf(3) or fprintf(3). This way, we can export a
915 params signature to C# code, permitting natural usage such as:
916 Stdlib.printf ("Hello, %s world! (%i)\n", "silly", 42);
917 * Syscall.cs: Mark which headers are complete, which functions still need
918 wrapping (for headers which have anything done to them), add #region
919 blocks for each header;
920 export mkfifo(3), fexecve(), getppid(2), setlogin(); fix sleep(3) export.
921 * UnixEnvironment.cs: Export a friendly getppid(2) wrapper.
922 GetParentProcessId isn't in UnixProcess as there's no way (that I know of)
923 to get the Parent's Parent, so it can't be a class member, and exposing it
924 as a static member of UnixProcess doesn't make sense to me, as it isn't
925 general. Added GetUserShells().
926 * UnixProcess.cs: Change constructor to internal, so it can be used from
929 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
931 * Stdlib.cs: Remove printf(3) and fprintf(3). These are vararg/CDECL
932 functions, and it's not portable to call them in this manner.
933 (It's not portable because some architectures, such as AMD64, use a
934 "cookie" as part of the vararg calling sequence to help reduce buffer
935 overflow exploits. Trying to call vararg functions as if they were an
936 overloaded function will not properly set this hardware cookie, resulting
937 in a hardware exception. Talk to lupus for more information.)
939 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
941 * Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs: Remove mount- and umount-related
942 functionality. Mount/umount is inherently non-portable (see the C code
943 for mount/umount), and trying to provide a consistent interface is
944 impossible. If you need mount/umount support, use the command-line
945 programs mount(1) and umount(1).
947 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
949 + Lots o' Renames, as the namespace changed.
950 * PosixConvert.cs: Moved to UnixConvert.cs:
951 * PosixDirectory.cs: Moved to UnixDirectory.cs:
952 * PosixEnvironment.cs: Moved to UnixEnvironment.cs:
953 * PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: Moved to UnixDirectoryInfo.cs:
954 * PosixFile.cs: Moved to UnixFile.cs:
955 * PosixFileInfo.cs: Moved to UnixFileInfo.cs:
956 * PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: Moved to UnixFileSystemInfo.cs:
957 * PosixGroup.cs: Moved to UnixGroup.cs:
958 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: Moved to UnixGroupInfo.cs:
959 * PosixIOException.cs: Moved to UnixIOException.cs:
960 * PosixMarshal.cs: Moved to UnixMarshal.cs:
961 * PosixProcess.cs: Moved to UnixProcess.cs:
962 * PosixStream.cs: Moved to UnixStream.cs:
963 * PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Moved to UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
964 * PosixUser.cs: Moved to UnixUser.cs:
965 * PosixUserInfo.cs: Moved to UnixUserInfo.cs:
966 * Catalog.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs, MapAttribute.cs, PeerCred.cs, Stdlib.cs,
967 Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs,
968 UnixEndPoint.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs,
969 UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixIOException.cs,
970 UnixMarshal.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs,
971 UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Deal with renamed classes/members.
973 2004-11-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
975 * PosixUserInfo.cs: Make the PosixUserInfo(Passwd) constructor public;
976 override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
977 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: Make the PosixGroupInfo(Group) constructor public;
978 override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
979 * PosixIOException.cs: Use PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription instead of
980 calling Syscall.strerror_r directly
981 * PosixMarshal.cs: Add GetErrorDescription. Strerror_r() isn't portable, so
982 GetErrorDescription() first tries strerror_r(), and if it fails falls back
985 - Seal the Dirent class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
986 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
987 - Seal the Group class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
988 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
989 Provide operator== and operator!=.
990 - Seal the Passwd class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
991 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
992 Provide operator== and operator!=.
993 - Remove strerror_r() convenience overload. This is now
994 PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription().
996 2004-11-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
998 * Syscall.cs: Export time-related functions (gettimeofday, settimeofday,
999 utime, utimes), mknod.
1001 2004-11-07 Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>
1003 * PosixEnvironment.cs : csc build fix. see bug #69195.
1004 * PosixStream.cs : csc build fix. see bug #69196.
1006 2004-11-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
1008 * PosixConvert.cs: New file; conversion functions for Mono.Posix types.
1009 * PosixDirectory.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
1010 * PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
1011 * PosixEnvironment.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over environment information.
1012 * PosixFile.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
1013 * PosixFileInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
1014 * PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over `stat'.
1015 * PosixGroup.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
1016 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
1017 * PosixIOException.cs: New file; Exception for POSIX-generated exceptions.
1018 * PosixMarshal.cs: New file; utility functions for marshaling, etc.
1019 * PosixProcess.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over process information.
1020 * PosixStream.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file descriptors.
1021 * PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over symbolic links.
1022 * PosixUser.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
1023 * PosixUserInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
1024 * Stdlib.cs: New file; C standard library exports.
1025 * Syscall.cs: Effective re-write.
1026 - Organize exports by header file
1027 - add additional enumerations (Error for the E* error values, etc.)
1028 - always explicitly specify enumeration underlying type
1029 - Use a new wrapping infrastructure so that ABI-stable types are exported
1030 - For example, size_t is exported as ulong, not IntPtr.
1031 - Wrap more functions, and wrap them better (such as getpwnam).
1032 - This release is NOT backward compatible. Many names are the same, and
1033 hopefully they're still compatible, but no effort was made to maintain
1034 compatibility. For example, FileMode was removed and replaced with
1035 FilePermissions, to avoid a name conflict with System.IO.FileMode.
1036 - Change umount() to use MonoPosixHelper: portability fix for Mac OS X.
1037 * make-map.cs: Another effective re-write, to clean up the code, produce
1038 better output, and produce more output. For example, most of
1039 PosixConvert can be auto-generated, so it is (modulo version delays and
1040 bootstrap issues). `map.c' is now conditional on all macros, and has
1041 error checking for invalid/unsupported values.
1043 2004-09-18 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>
1045 * Syscall.cs: Add support for poll ().
1047 2004-09-18 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>
1049 * make-map.cs: Use field value not name for #defines.
1051 2004-09-14 Loren Bandiera <lorenb@mmgsecurity.com>
1053 * Syscall.cs: Added method for getpwnam which uses Passwd
1055 * macros.c: Helper function for getpwnam
1056 (In committing, Josh Tauberer also added getpwuid.)
1058 2004-07-09 Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
1060 * PeerCred.cs: Get the unix socket peer credentials.
1062 2004-05-26 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
1064 * Syscall.cs: Do not let the runtime handle strings, as we do not
1065 own those strings, we must transform the char * into a string
1068 2004-05-03 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
1070 * Syscall.cs: Add symlink
1072 2004-04-19 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
1074 * Syscall.cs: Use hex values for FileMode, since C# does not have
1075 an octal integer mode.
1077 2004-03-30 Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>
1079 * Added readlink, strerror, opendir, readdir, closedir
1080 * Added Mono.Posix.Stat.UnixToDateTime(long unixtime) --> DateTime
1082 2004-03-11 Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>
1084 * Syscall.cs: Removed argument to getgid that shouldn't be there.
1085 Added getusername, getgroupname which wrap getpwuid, getgrgid
1086 without dealing with pointers to structures.
1087 Removed duplicate FileMode enum nested in Syscall class.
1088 Added stat and lstat, which use StatMode enumeration
1089 (like FileMode but nicer and complete) and Stat struct.
1090 * macros.c: Helper functions for getpwuid, getgrgid, stat, lstat.
1092 2004-01-07 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
1094 * Syscall.cs: moved the assembly attribute to a proper place
1095 and added 'signal.h'
1096 * make-map.cs: use reflection to invoke the properties, as it
1097 fails under MS runtime.
1100 2004-01-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
1102 * Syscall.cs: moved assembly attribute and added unsafe block to fix
1103 the build on windows.
1105 2003-11-11 Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org
1107 * Syscall.cs: Applied patch from Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org> to
1110 2003-05-16 Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
1112 * UnixEndPoint.cs: New property to get and set the filename, like
1113 the IPEndPoint has for the IP address. Also implement ToString().
1115 Tue Apr 29 16:53:56 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>
1117 * Syscall.cs: remove the unsafe mess.
1119 2003-02-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
1122 * UnixEndPoint.cs: first file.
