tg 7381c6c274 mention that $RANDOM is _always_ 15-bit unsigned integer, even arc4random’s 2007-08-12 14:01:38 +00:00
tg 499327f7b8 add “set -o arc4random”, RTFM for details 2007-08-12 13:42:23 +00:00
tg 47836e45e7 add a new bindable command “clear-screen”, which can be bound to the ^L key
so that archite@midnightbsd won’t have to add evil kludges to oksh again if
they switch their ksh to mksh ☺

both “clear-screen” and “error” aren’t bound; default binding for ^L stays,
as usual, “redraw” (principle of least surprise); however GNU bash converts
also might want to put “bind ^L=clear-screen” into their ~/.mkshrc.

tg b8a693ed68 mention ${foo:2:3} limitations 2007-07-26 13:32:16 +00:00
tg 78d58de7a0 fix the rest of it 2007-07-06 02:22:57 +00:00
tg ca17798533 this is bash compatibility week, and by suggestion of actual users,
namely Dr. Robert “Pfeffer” Arnold (in this case, in FreeWRT), make
a half-completed attempt at implementing ${foo:2:3} substring evals
(of course, negatives can't work right now and that the numbers are
in face expressions is something I only read later too – this is to
be revisited later, but it's already late)

don't depend on this behaviour yet though

if someone wants to add more regression tests, feel free to…

tg 7796820c82 now that we're definitively at 40 pages for the PDF manual, revert some of
the changes in r1.81, and improve wording further
2007-06-23 19:07:14 +00:00
tg 3a94b076a0 implement bash-style array initialisation, as requested by many
still experimental
2007-06-22 23:34:42 +00:00
tg e596de4759 make sure that “integer” and “local” are defined even in FPOSIX mode, which
is a compromise anyway; these lunox people will have to live with that, too
many existing korn shell alike scripts depend on it even if not on the full
korn shell syntax availability (note: this doesn't mean using these in some
script with #!/bin/sh is ok)
2007-06-17 00:50:09 +00:00
tg 199994fed8 we can do all that 2007-06-16 15:02:56 +00:00
tg 5fe1f4d416 document the FPOSIX stuff 2007-06-15 22:04:06 +00:00
tg c9991d996f • change version number to “R29 and up” so
that I don't have to bump it every time…
• amend description of emacs-mode “redraw”
2007-04-30 19:16:30 +00:00
tg fe04b78310 oops, this of course documents mksh R29c (and up) 2007-04-23 11:41:47 +00:00
tg 680e8ebd3f if we read an utf-8 BOM, enable the utf8-hack flag (we can test for that on
mirbsd even because the main.c enabling is only run for interactive shells)
2007-04-15 12:28:38 +00:00
tg dbf38a152d fix a typo and shrink it to 39 DIN A4 pages 2007-03-10 21:14:07 +00:00
tg d306d5a9e4 fix setlocale check descr 2007-03-10 00:34:54 +00:00
tg 83c2ee87f4 • remove strcasestr.c, use home-grown implementation¹, call it stricmp,
and have it return an API-correct const char *
• enhance and stylify comments
• a little KNF and simplifications
• #ifdef DEBUG: replace strchr and strstr with ucstrchr and ucstrstr
  that take and return a non-const char *, and fix the violations
• new cstrchr, cstrstr (take and give const char *)
• new vstrchr, vstrstr (take const or not, give boolean value)
• new afreechk(x) = afreechv(x,x) = if (x1) afree(x2, ATEMP)
• new ksh_isdash(str) = (str != NULL) && !strcmp(str, "-")
• replace the only use of strrchr with inlined code to shrink
• minor man page fixes
• Minix 3 signames are autogenerated with gcc
• rename strlfun.c to strlcpy.c since we don't do strlcat(3) anyway,
  only strlcpy(3), and shorten it
• dot.mkshrc: move MKSH=… down to the export line
  to not disturb the PS1 visual impression ☺
• dot.mkshrc: Lstripcom(): optimise
• bump version

¹) side effect from creating API-correct cstrchr, cstrstr, etc.
   uses goto so it must be better ☻

tested on mirbsd-current via both Makefile and Build.sh

tg 939a9dea33 wording 2007-01-18 16:23:52 +00:00
tg 7056c561ec if .Nm is used with arguments, it needs the name, always (groff 1.15) 2007-01-18 00:00:27 +00:00
tg bca0f4d603 * Build.sh, histrap.c: prevent testing of strsignal() if we have sys_siglist[]
* mksh.1: .Nm is never used with "" as argument, fixes GNU groff 1.15
2007-01-17 23:47:15 +00:00
tg 29b62b186d okay, this didn't work out; changing window sizes when we're
actually within a (the emacs) editing mode does not work at
all, whether forced or not, only if we leave the editing mode
(at end of input); probably due to it saving stuff from e.g.
x_cols into xx_cols, etc.

-> remove SIGWINCH handling(!)
-> TIOCGWINSZ is now executed at end of every input line
-> use 'ESC #' if you direly need to change line size
2007-01-14 01:56:23 +00:00
tg 36e761840e * do *not* check the terminal size after each line processing,
only if we got a SIGWINCH -> interactive use speed-up on the
  slower boxen (slowness courtesy of otto@obsd)
* ^L (redraw line) now (always) checks window size; use this
  instead if required while editing the prompt; changes to the
  variables will still be propagated after the line is entered

tg b725114422 use RLIMIT_AS, after much RTFM 2007-01-06 18:48:27 +00:00
tg 9ecf60f6e5 CPPFLAGS+=-DMKSH_SMALL is not the only functionality-reducing option,
yet the others are not similar (mostly: OS reduces functionality, eg.
SunOS doesn't do persistent history, Minix some job control, Plan 9!)
2006-12-11 20:00:28 +00:00
tg 15a0b1a021 catch up openbsd manpage changes: typos; from alf schlichting,
and revisit the RLIMIT_AS issue
2006-12-06 13:46:28 +00:00
tg 98e9111bbc remove the "set -o sh" option (dummy anyway),
"set +o emacs-usemeta" and "set -o vi-show8" which are always on now,
since we have proper internationalisation (i.e. utf-8) support, and
assume the user either has a 'C' locale and can't enter 8-bit chars,
his terminal is 8bit-transparent, or he has a 'UTF-8' locale.

tg b21875f20f document hidden behaviour of typeset to clear flags from a certain
set if any other from that set are touched
2006-11-19 17:00:32 +00:00
tg c2e79abc08 make mksh compatible to the AT&T ksh spec which says, according to
twkm (from #ksh on freenode), that $RANDOM is always an unsigned
15-bit decimal integer.

(RANDOM << 15 | RANDOM) thusly yields 30 bit, which is still more
than 36^5, so we can use it on the baselife CD to speed things up

tg dd63deb8b7 work around a bug in the GNU implementation of the Berkeley mdoc macros
cought by crib in IRC, thanks

(our textproc/groff port is unaffected since it uses the MirOS implementation,
 a BSD derived one with fixes, by default instead but can reproduce the defect
 with -mgdoc instead of -mdoc as parametre)
2006-11-16 13:05:39 +00:00
tg 62d9cf9fa9 only auto-enable set -o utf8-hack (set -U) for interactive shells 2006-11-12 10:44:42 +00:00
tg 493ad928e3 if MKSH_SMALL, disable persistent history code as well (like on Solaris,
where it can't work anyway), and fix that code to shrink
saves 2071t 20d 5i
2006-11-10 05:23:14 +00:00
tg 2345d8b72b more getconf/confstr fixes 2006-11-09 22:11:08 +00:00
tg 1edc9c071a fix description of setlocale stuff a little 2006-11-08 23:49:01 +00:00
tg d98866057c * set -o utf8-hack implies set +o emacs-usemeta (the default)
* we're R29 (-beta)
2006-11-08 20:32:44 +00:00
tg 9e6936ac5c irc is fun. I registered channel #!/bin/mksh in freenode. 2006-11-08 20:27:26 +00:00
tg 5e2e209d51 make this R29(beta), mksh -U turn on (or setlocale), and document. 2006-11-05 17:01:47 +00:00
tg f2eafb3044 fix description of $RANDOM, which is not limited to 15 bit any more
as a device to determine whether arc4random(3) is in effect or not.

tg c037d54d6d First result from the PDF review, by myself:
* a mksh -> an mksh
While here:
* fix list of shells that don't match . and .. with .* (pdksh went
  missing in transit)
* Try to make fit on 39 pages by shortening a few
  lines of redundant commentary about non-mksh books
* AT&T -> .At
2006-08-28 03:31:01 +00:00
tg 4fac7ec24b * remove redundancy
* integrate compat.h, version.h into sh.h (dependency trick didn't work anyway)
* mention #ksh in mksh(1) since the founder (twkm) said it's on topic too
  (don't remove mention of #mksh despite it's usually empty because of control)
2006-08-22 22:49:38 +00:00
tg 083f19dc53 * document the feature-not-bug status of pipeline-subshell-1
* fix spelling in regression test
* expand test-stlt-1 by reverse logic, just to make sure

tg 3b194eebb7 point people to the IRC channel (#mksh/OPN) 2006-08-11 13:46:32 +00:00
tg 1100be9300 re-implement "set -o posix" which doesn't do much ;)
but turns off 'braceexpand' when turned on as side effect,
just like oksh/pdksh.
document "set -o sh" too.
2006-08-09 20:44:16 +00:00
tg 500c89635f fix an omission to delete, and remove confusing ancient comment 2006-08-09 20:27:18 +00:00
tg 49d627c9f7 correct the description of "abort" 2006-08-08 20:19:14 +00:00
tg 4661992d5b remove the 'stuff' functionality altogether,
ksh93 doesn't have it, and I don't know, nor
do I care about what "the BRL ^T mini-systat
feature" is.
2006-08-08 20:17:22 +00:00
tg 5176249248 * bind ^T to transpose-chars as documented in the manual page,
not to stuff, even if TIOCSTI is available
* it's transpose-chars not transpose

bug spotted by hondza who wondered that on ^T the line repeats itself forever

tg 174b4c5a1d the 'delete' key does *not* act as Ctrl-D (EOT, cf. ascii(7)) 2006-08-02 14:02:55 +00:00
tg 58e5606710 bind xterm-xfree86 and wscons (NetBSD®) wsvt25/vt220 too 2006-08-02 14:00:19 +00:00
tg 52357a30be this is mksh R28 (beta)
I think of implementing multiline editing (bash-style) for R28 final,
but other than that, the new features already suffice for a new major
2006-08-02 13:34:03 +00:00
tg c96e31a707 implement a hack whereas you can now bind functions (and macros)
to keys with a trailing tilde (after prefix + control char); the
function is then invoked after prefices, control char and one more
character X are entered; if X is not a tilde, it is ungetc(3)d
