mktemp(), mkstemp() and mkdtemp() are available in standard <stdlib.h> and
also in <unistd.h>. Encourage use of the former by listing it in the
synopsis.
Gcc outputs pre-UAL asm and expects the ldcl instruction with a condition
in the form ldc<c>l, where the code produces the instruction in the UAL
form ldcl<c>. Work around this by checking if we are using clang or gcc and
adjusting the instruction.
While here correct the cmp instruction's value to include the # before the
immediate value.
(this is designed to allow new modules to be installed via ports/packages).
To prevent conflict with itself (sysutils/bsdconfig) as a port (which
installs its base modules to the above directory, it was long-ago decided
that so-called `base' modules would look different than now-defined `add-on'
modules. The structure of the contents for each is the same, but the naming
convention for the module directory must be different.
Base modules are named `[0-9][0-9][0-9].*' to allow SysV-style organization
while add-on modules must avoid this naming style and are simply listed in
alphabetical order by their module directory.
For example, a hypothetical port named `bsdconfig-jails' could install
/usr/local/libexec/bsdconfig/jails and provide `bsdconfig jails' as well as
a new menu entry in the main-menu.
Add-on modules are listed in the main-menu (when bsdconfig is executed with-
out arguments) below a separator after the last base-module.
In `bsdconfig -h' output, add-on modules are listed right alongside base
modules (sorted alphabetically in columnar fashion; left-to-right).
If a base module declares a keyword used by an add-on module, the base
module will always win when given `bsdconfig keyword' syntax.
Add-on modules should avoid declaring any keyword found in `script.subr' as
a reserved-word (`Resword') since bsdconfig also supports `bsdconfig resword'
as a fall-back if no keyword is found to be declared by any module.
Do not inherit $SYSRC_VERBOSE from operating environment. The concern is
that when a user (such as myself) which has SYSRC_VERBOSE=1 in his/her
~/.bash_profile or such that when they are told to execute a command like:
hostname `sysrc -n hostname`
NOTE: To activate a recently configured hostname.
If $SYSRC_VERBOSE is set, then POLA is violated because the output of sysrc
is indirectly influenced (making for an inconsistent experience).

difference between these two functions:
Usage: f_show_msg() $format_string [ $format_args ... ]
Usage: f_dialog_msgbox() $text [ $hline ]
The former lends itself well to displaying the $msg_* i18n text, prompts,
etc. While the latter is better for text you do not control (error strings
captured as a response from external commands) -- or if you have to control
the hline.
Both scripted access (packageDelete) and UI access have been tested
successfully with a variation of different situations including:
+ Uninstall a package which no other installed package depends
+ Uninstall multiple packages which no other installed packages depend
+ Uninstall multiple packages which depend on each other
+ Similar to above but when ordered removal requires tracing dependencies
+ Purposefully do things like uninstall a package that is not installed
+ Try to uninstall a package which other installed packages still depend
+ Try to uninstall multiple packages which other installed packages depend
+ And many more.
because [currently] we exit after performing requests actions -- if we
ever change this to returning to the package selection screen, this would
have made an impact).
sysinstall(8). The UI for this will come later while this exposes the
functionality to the scripted interface. Tested successfully to first
install the pcnfsd package from the `Latest' repository, and second to
configure mountd_flags="-n" in rc.conf(5).
pending). Both scripted access (packageAdd) and UI access have been tested
successfully with a variation of different situations including:
+ Install a package with no dependencies
+ Install a package with dependencies that are already installed
+ Install a package with dependencies where some are already installed
+ Repeat each of the above from FTP and local Directory
+ Purposefully do things like try to install a package that does not exist
+ Try to install a package for which a dependency could not be loaded
+ Try to install a package that is in the INDEX bot not on the media
+ And many more.
