Ulrich Drepper 2303f5fdd9 update from main archive 961109
Sun Nov 10 02:37:15 1996  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* inet/gethstent_r.c: Update copyright.
	* nss/getXXbyYY_r.c: Likewise.
	* nss/nsswitch.c: Likewise.
	* nss/getXXent_r.c: Likewise.
	* nss/nss_files/files-XXX.c: Likewise.
	* nss/nss_files/files-netgroup.c: Likewise.
	* nss/nss_files/files-parse.c: Likewise.

	* nss/getXXent_r.c: Change implementation.  It's not necessary to
	call all setXXent functions.  Just find first available and
	when necessary let getXXent_r call the others.

	* nss/nss_files/files-XXX.c: Make really reentrant.  Now calls
	of getXXent and getXXbyYY can be mixed.  The cursor for traversing
	the database with getXXent will be remembered.

	* stdlib/test-canon.c (cwd): Change size to PATH_MAX.

Sat Nov  9 15:34:48 1996  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Dist: Add sys/mtio.h.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/mtio.h: New file.

	* signal/signal.h [__USE_BSD]: Add prototype for siggetmask.

Fri Nov  8 13:29:30 1996  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* ctype/ctype.h (__isascii): Don't test for seventh bit not to be
	set.  Instead for none beside the first seven bits to be set.
	X/Open allows the argument to be an `int' value.
	Reported by Alain Williams <addw@phcomp.co.uk>.
	(toascii, isascii): Define macro also when __USE_XOPEN.

	* sysdeps/posix/fpathconf.c: Use fstatfs to compute NAME_MAX, not
	PATH_MAX.

Thu Nov  7 03:04:29 1996  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* nss/getXXXent_r.c (SETFUNC_NAME): Reset `nip' after loop to
	NULL so that GETFUNC will see first entry.
	(ENDFUNC_NAME): Likewise.

	Rewrite Netgroups implementation to avoid global data.
	* inet/netgroup.h: Add definition of name_list and struct
	__netgrent.
	Add prototypes for internal netgroup functions.
	* nss/nss_files/files-netgroup.c (_nss_files_setnetgrent): Take
	extra argument and use the included data instead of global vars.
	(_nss_files_endnetgrent): Likewise.
	(_nss_netgroup_parseline): Change to be static and use data
	included in the RESULT structure.
	* inet/getnetgrent_r.c (startp): Move into setup function.
	(known_groups, needed_groups): new part of the __netgrent sruct.
	(freememory): Take extra argument and use included data.
	(__internal_endnetgrent): Likewise.
	(internal_setnetgrent): Renamed to __internal_setnetgrent_reuse
	and take extra argument.
	(__internal_setnetgrent): New function.  Call
	__internal_setnetgrent_reuse after calling free_memory.
	(setnetgrent): Only call __internal_setnetgrent.
	(__getnetgrent_r): Split into two functions.  __getnetgrent_r
	calls __internal_getnetgrent after locking.
	(innetgr): Use dynamic data only.  I.e., innetgr now is fully
	reentrant.

Thu Nov  7 00:15:14 1996  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* sysdeps/stub/setenv.c: Correct typo: unseenv -> unsetenv.
	Reported by Joshua Cowan <jcowan@jcowan.reslife.okstate.edu>.

Wed Nov  6 13:13:37 1996  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* manual/creature.texi: Document that _GNU_SOURCE is no longer the
	default when no *_SOURCE macro is given.
	Reported by Karsten Weiss <karsten@addx.au.s.shuttle.de>.
	* NOTES: remade from manual/creature.texi.
	* manual/libc.texinfo: Add back line about GPL translation which
	somehow got lost.

	* Make-dist (dist.tar): Depend on README being updated.

	* rellns-sh: Correct thinko in removing leading /.

This directory contains the version 1.96 test release of the GNU C Library.
Many bugs have been fixed since the last release.
Some bugs surely remain.

As of this release, the GNU C library is known to run on the following
configurations:

		*-*-gnu			GNU Hurd
		i[3456]86-*-linux	Linux-2.0 on Intel
		m68k-*-linux		Linux-2.0 on Motorola 680x0
		alpha-*-linux		Linux-2.0 on DEC Alpha


Former releases of this library (version 1.09.1 and perhaps earlier
versions) used to run on the following configurations:

		alpha-dec-osf1
		i[3456]86-*-bsd4.3
		i[3456]86-*-isc2.2
		i[3456]86-*-isc3
		i[3456]86-*-sco3.2
		i[3456]86-*-sco3.2v4
		i[3456]86-*-sysv
		i[3456]86-*-sysv4
		i[3456]86-force_cpu386-none
		i[3456]86-sequent-bsd
		i960-nindy960-none
		m68k-hp-bsd4.3
		m68k-mvme135-none
		m68k-mvme136-none
		m68k-sony-newsos3
		m68k-sony-newsos4
		m68k-sun-sunos4
		mips-dec-ultrix4
		mips-sgi-irix4
		sparc-sun-solaris2
		sparc-sun-sunos4

Whether this is still true for this release is unknown.  Porting the
library is not hard.  If you are interested in doing a port, please
get on the mailing list by sending electronic mail to
bug-glibc-request@prep.ai.mit.edu.

The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points.
Because of the United States export restriction on DES implementations,
we are distributing this code separately from the rest of the C
library.  There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is
called `glibc-1.96-crypt.tar.gz'.  You can just unpack the crypt
distribution along with the rest of the C library and build; you can
also build the library without getting crypt.  Users outside the USA
can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk
[129.142.6.74], or another archive site outside the USA.  Archive
maintainers are encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives
outside the USA.  Please get it from ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this
distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any other site in the USA) to a
site outside the USA is in violation of US export laws.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port
the GNU C library.

The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found
in the `manual/' subdirectory.  The manual is still being updated and
contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have
the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.  Please
send comments on the manual to bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu, and
not to the library bug-reporting address.

The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used
in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what
facilities you want it to make available.

Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions.
