[comp.os.minix] More POSIX routines

nfs@notecnirp.Princeton.EDU (Norbert Schlenker) (01/09/90)

Here are three POSIX routines to go along with the new Minix (they'll work
with the old one too).  A Makefile and a shell script that will turn them
into something approaching Tanenbaum standard format is included.

Included are:
  sysconf() - an analogue of [f]pathconf() for non-file limits
  execve()  - rewritten version
  ttyname() - rewritten version

Motivations for these routines:
  sysconf() - missing from the 1.5.0 postings
  execve()  - I wanted to see if my fast string routines would help in
	      copying the environment and arguments - they did, but a
	      simple cleanup of the existing code did just as well
  ttyname() - I want to get rid of <sys/dir.h> and Terrence Holm's version
	      used it - the new routine uses the POSIX *dir() functions

On my PC, execve() saves 30%-50% over the old routine (that doesn't mean
that the program you execute runs that much faster :-)).  Ttyname() is about
60% faster (real and system time), due to buffering in the *dir() routines,
but uses more user time and more space.

For those who are willing, I'd like comments on the format of the files
included here.  I haven't included with this posting the headers that turn
the _*.c files into working copies, but I think all the library routines
should make use of something like the __[A-Z]* macros (my standard whine).
