fbbd9655 - Renumber copyright clause 4

Tue, 28 Feb 2017 23:42:47 +0000

Renumber copyright clause 4Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD grantedthem permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the samenumbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.Submitted by: Jan Schaumann Pull Request: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/pull/96 List of files: /freebsd-14.2/lib/libc/gen/devname.3

26d4f5e9 - Add two new routines: fdevname() and fdevname_r().

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 20:24:59 +0000

Add two new routines: fdevname() and fdevname_r().A more elegant way of obtaining a name of a character device by its filedescriptor on FreeBSD, is to use the FIODGNAME ioctl. Because a validfile descriptor implies a file descriptor is visible in /dev, it willalways resolve a valid device name.I'm adding a more friendly wrapper for this ioctl, called fdevname(). Itis a lot easier to use than devname() and also has better errorhandling. When a device name cannot be resolved, it will just returnNULL instead of a generated device name that makes no sense.Discussed with: kib List of files: /freebsd-14.2/lib/libc/gen/devname.3

Sat, 09 Sep 2000 11:39:59 +0000

Add code to devname(3) so it can find the names of devices whichwere not present when dev_mkdb(8) was run.First the dev_mkdb(8) database is searched, this caters for non-DEVFScases where people have renamed a device.If that fails we ask the kernel using sysctl kern.devname if the devicedriver has put a name in the dev_t. This covers DEVFS cloned devices.If that also fails we format a string which isn't entirely useless. List of files: /freebsd-14.2/lib/libc/gen/devname.3

6b288cfa - Backed out previous commit. devname.3 and devname.c were broken in Lite1

Sat, 24 Jul 1999 00:33:27 +0000

Backed out previous commit. devname.3 and devname.c were broken in Lite1(devname() returned "??" when the lookup failed, but callers expected itto return NULL). This was fixed in Lite2, but until recently the changeswere only merged into devname.3. A day or two after devname.c was fixed,devname.3 was made inconsistent again by backing out most of the Lite2changes. List of files: /freebsd-14.2/lib/libc/gen/devname.3
