XCC = g++ X X# X# Flags for CFLAGS: X# X# X# Add -DSIGINTERRUPT if you both have it and NEED it to ensure that signals X# interrupt slow system calls. This is primarily for 4.3 BSD-based systems. X# Otherwise, your system most certaily does the right thing already. X# X# Add -DOLDDELETE if your compiler can't handle the 'delete []' form X# of the delete operator for deleting arrays of objects allocated X# via new. If you don't know whether you compiler can handle it or X# not, just don't define it and see what happens. If your compiler X# doesn't choke, it'll do the right thing. X# X# You must indicate where the GDBM header file 'gdbm.h' is to be found X# using a flag of the form: -I/usr/local/include. X# X# If you have the BSD 4.3 signal mechanism, in particular, sigblock(2) and X# sigsetmask(2), add -DBSDSIGS. Else if you have POSIX signals, in X# particular sigprocmask(2), add -DPOSIXSIGS. Otherwise I'll use X# the usually ANSI C signal mechanism when I need to block SIGTSTP and X# SIGWINCH. This can lead to some lost signals in very rare X# circumstances, but what can you do with a braindead signal mechanism. X# X# The default locking is done using the POSIX "lockf". If you don't X# have "lockf" but have the BSD "flock", add -DFLOCK. If you don't X# have either, scream bloody murder to your vendor; you really need X# one or the other. X# X# By default, we assume that you have version of mail that accepts the X# "-s" flag to indicate a subject line. If your mailer doesn't X# recognize the "-s" flag, add -DNOSUBJECT. X# X# If you don't have the pager "less" or just don't want to force its use as X# the pager, add -DNOLESS. We'll then use the pager in the PAGER X# environment variable, or "more" by default. Use "less" if you have it. X# X# If you're running on ESIX, add -DESIX X# X# Add -O if you trust your optimizer. X# XCFLAGS = -O -I/home/xtelab/lijewski/include -DBSDSIGS -DSIGINTERRUPT X X# X# Those flags needed to compile in the type of terminal X# control you have: X# X# Use -DTERMIOS if you have <termios.h>, the POSIX terminal control. X# Use -DTERMIO if you have <termio.h>, the SYSV terminal control. X# Otherwise, we assume you have <sgtty.h>, the BSD terminal control. X# X# If you choose to use -DTERMIOS and have problems, try -DTERMIO. On X# at least two systems I've tried, the vendor hasn't had all the X# include files set up correctly to include <unistd.h> together with X# <osfcn.h>, among others. X# X# On RS/6000s, AIX/370 and recent Suns, -DTERMIO works well.

It is written in C++; uses the GNU XDatabase Management Library (GDBM) for low-level database operations; Xand the termcap(3) library for screen comtrol. An X Windows interface Xis being developed. The basic idea is to provide a central front-end Xfor managing the various databases of bugs and miscreant behaviour Xthat a large UNIX site might be interested in tracking, and Xfacilitating the sharing of this information amongst all interested Xparties. X XOn startup, a list of problem areas is displayed: X XThe 4 Areas: X X 1 apf X 2 aix370 X 3 aixws X 4 dbx X XThis is called the area window. Upon entering a number corresponding Xto the area of interest, the following screen is displayed: X XCommands X X l -- log new problem X a -- append to a problem X c -- close a problem X e -- examine a problem X v -- view problem summaries X s -- subscribe to this problem area X u -- unsubscribe from this problem area X k -- keyword search over problem headers X K -- keyword search over problem headers and data X M -- modify keyword field X d -- delete a problem from the database X r -- reorganize the database X R -- reopen a closed problem X q -- quit X XHere you are expected to type a single letter symbolizing the Xcommand of interest. X X l -- log new problem X XChoosing `l', you'll immediately see a screen of the form: X XArea networking XLogger mjlx XReporter XLogged Mon Jun 29 08:56:27 1992 XUpdated Mon Jun 29 08:56:27 1992 XKeywords XSummary XStatus open XSite XSeverity XProblem # X XThis is known as the problem header. Here, Reporter is the user name Xor real name of the person who reported the problem; this needn't be Xthe same as Logger. Severity, which runs from 4 (the lowest) to 1 X(the highest) is meant to be some indication of the severity of the Xproblem. The remaining fields have their obvious meaning. X XIn the above, "problem" has filled in the fields that it can and will Xprompt for the others. It will fill in the Problem # field, if and Xwhen the problem is really logged, with a positive number unique Xacross all problem areas. There is no limit to the amount of text Xthat can be stored in each field. After filling out this header, X"problem" will invoke the editor in the user's EDITOR environment Xvariable (or "vi" if not defined), from which the user is expected to Xenter the text of the problem. When you exit from your editor, you'll Xbe prompted as to whether or not you really want to log the problem. XTyping `y' logs the problem while typing `n' takes you back to the Xcommand window. X X a -- append to a problem X XHere you'll be prompted for the problem # of an existing problem. If Xa problem of that number actually exists, you'll immediately be Xbrought up into your editor to enter the text of your append. When you Xexit from your editor, you'll be prompted as to whether or not you Xreally wish to make this append. X X c -- close a problem X XHere you'll be prompted for the problem # of an existing problem. If Xa problem of that number actually exists, you'll immediately be Xbrought up into your editor to enter the text of your close. Closing Xa problem changes the Status field of the problem entry from "open" to X"closed"; it is not removed from the database. It is meant to be an Xindication that the problem has been solved. Only the original logger Xof the problem, or the "problem" administrator can close a problem. X X e -- examine a problem X XYou will be prompted for the problem # of an existing problem. If Xthat problem exists you'll be placed into the pager "less" with a copy Xof the complete problem header and data of that problem. This way you Xcan then page through the problem and do any thing else you might do Xfrom a pager such as saving a copy of the problem or only a portion of Xit to another file. X X v -- view problem summaries X XTyping `v' a list consisting of selected parts of each problem header Xis displayed on the screen, one per line: X X77 open 1 Jun 28 16:37:09 1992 calloc prototyped wrong X73 open 2 Jun 26 06:16:03 1992 Fortran code gets seg fault X18 closed May 30 12:51:34 1992 <stdarg.h> is broken X53 open 3 May 6 13:45:23 1992 optimization slows down c! X16 open 3 Apr 26 09:54:49 1992 why don't we have a Pascal compiler? X XThis is called a view window. The fields displayed are: Problem #, XStatus, Severity, if Status is "open", Updated and Summary. The lines Xare sorted: "open" before "closed"; severity order 1 to 4; and then in Xmost recently updated to least recently updated order. It the text of Xa line is longer than the screen width the line is truncated and a `!' Xis place in the final position in the line. The cursor is initially Xplaced in the first column of the first line. The problem list can be Xperused using the screen and cursor motion commands of vi and emacs. X XThe line the cursor is on is called the current line. If the current Xline is longer than the screen width it will be shifted left so that Xthe final screenwidth characters are visible. In this way, by moving Xthe cursor on and off of a line, it is possible to read the complete Xline, provided that the length of the line is not more than twice the Xwidth of your screen. Most of the commands in the command window are Xaccessible from here and apply to the problem in the current line. XFor example, typing `a' will append to the problem in the current Xline. X XTyping `H' or `?' from any of the three main windows in "problem" will Xdisplay a screen of help commands called the help screen. The help Xscreen from within the view window is: X X CURSOR MOVEMENT COMMANDS: X X ? H Display this help. X q quit. X j n ^N SPC CR Forward one line. X DOWN_ARROW_KEY " . X k p ^P ^Y Backward one line. X UP_ARROW_KEY " . X ^F ^V Forward one window. X b ^B ESC-V Backward one window. X ^D Forward one half-window. X ^U Backward one half-window. X < Go to first line of listing. X > Go to last line of listing. X X COMMANDS WHICH OPERATE ON THE CURRENT PROBLEM: X X a Append to current problem. X c Close current problem. X d Delete current problem. X e m v Examine, View, or "more" current problem. X m Modify keyword field. X r Reorganize the database. X R Reopen a closed problem. X s Save problem listing to a file - prompts for filename. X X MISCELLANEOUS COMMANDS: X X ! starts up a shell. X ! cmd executes a shell command - prompts for command. X !! reexecutes previous shell command. X ^L Repaint screen. X CR Signifies end-of-response when in a prompt. X V Print out version string. X X s -- subscribe to this problem area X XYou will be added to a list of interested parties for this area. Each Xtime a change is made to the database for this area, every person on Xthe mailing list receives mail indicating the change that was made. XIn this way, it is easy to keep track of problems without having to Xregular read all the problems to see if anything new has happened. X X u -- unsubscribe from this problem area X XYou will be removed from the interested parties mailing list for this Xarea. X X k -- keyword search over problem headers X XYou will be prompted for a regular expression which will then be used Xto search over the problem headers. If there are any matches, the Xsummary lines of each of the problems which matched will be displayed Xin a view window. For example, if you wished to peruse only open Xproblems, you could search for "open" whereupon you would be put in a Xview window consisting of only the open problems in this area. X X K -- keyword search over problem headers and data X XThis is similar the the `k' command except that the regular expression Xsearch is over the complete problem header and data for each problem. X X M -- modify keyword field X XThis command is useful if you want to modify the keyword field. X X d -- delete a problem from the database X XThis command allows the database administrator to delete problems from Xthe database for this area. The problem data is irretrievably removed Xfrom the database. X X r -- reorganize the database X XThis is an administrative command which can be used after many appends and Xdeletions have been made in the database to shrink it down and make Xaccessing it more efficient. It corresponds directly to the GDBM Xreorganize command. X X R -- reopen a closed problem X XA closed problem can be reopened with this command. X X q -- quit X XThis quits from the command window and returns you to the area window.

It was inspired Xby PROBLEM, the problem database manager under IBM VM/CMS that was Xwritten by Andy XHanushevsky at Cornell University. It is intended to provide a Xcommon interface to a collection of databases describing problems and/or Xbugs which a UNIX site might be interested in tracking, and to Xfacilitate the sharing of this information amongst all interested Xparties. X X.SH COMMANDS XIn the following descriptions, ^X means control-X. XESC stands for the ESCAPE key; for example ESC-v means the Xtwo character sequence "ESCAPE", then "v". TAB stands for the tab Xkey. UP_ARROW stands for the up arrow key and DOWN_ARROW stands for Xthe down arrow key, if your keyboard supports arrow keys. X XTyping X.I problem, Xa list of problem areas, called the area window, is displayed. This Xlist is set up by the X.I problem Xadministrator at your site. It consists of the areas into which Xproblems and bug reports can be logged. A sample area window: X.nf X X 1 apf - for AIX Parallel Fortran problems under AIX/370 X 2 aix370 - general AIX/370 problems X 3 aixws - any workstation related problem X 4 dbx - any dbx-related problem X 5 AFS or NFS - any AFS or NFS related problem X X.fi XThe areas are numbered from 1 Xto N, where N is the total number of areas defined at your site. If N Xis less than ten, you simply need to press the key corresponding to Xthat number to Xindicate your interest in that area. Otherwise, you must type in the Xnumber followed by a carriage return. If there are more areas than Xlines on your screen, X.I problem Xwill display as many as will fit on the screen by forcing the areas to Xfit in a series of twenty-five character wide columns. If they still Xdon't all fit on the screen, typing `H' or `?' will scroll through all Xthe areas. X XOnce you've selected an area, a list of available commands, called Xthe command window, is displayed: X.nf X X l -- log new problem X a -- append to a problem X c -- close a problem X d -- delete a problem from the database X e -- examine a problem X q -- quit X r -- reorganize the database X s -- subscribe to this problem area X u -- unsubscribe from this problem area X v -- view problem summaries X k -- keyword search over problem headers X K -- keyword search over problem headers and data X M -- modify keyword field X R -- reopen a closed problem X P -- change priority (severity) of problem X T -- transfer problem to another area X X.fi X XHere you are expected to type a single letter symbolizing the Xcommand of interest. Typing `H' or `?' will scroll through the list Xof available commands. X X.IP "l -- log new problem" X XTyping `l', you'll immediately see a screen of the form: X.nf X XArea networking XLogger mjlx XReporter XLogged Mon Jun 29 08:56:27 1992 XUpdated Mon Jun 29 08:56:27 1992 XKeywords XSummary XStatus open XSite XSeverity XProblem # X X.fi XThis is known as the problem header.

XThe fields displayed are: X.I Problem #, X.I Status, X.I Severity (if the problem is open), X.I Updated, Xand X.I Summary. XThe lines are sorted: "open" before "closed"; severity 1 to severity X4; and then in most Xrecently updated to least recently updated order. It the text of a Xline is longer than the screen width the line is truncated and a `!' Xis place in the final position in the line. The cursor is initially Xplaced in the first column of the first line. X XThe line the cursor is on is called the current line. The line the Xcursor is on can be changed using the cursor motion and scrolling Xcommands of vi and emacs, though the cursor will always remain in Xfirst column of whatever line it is on. If the current line is longer Xthan the screen width it will be shifted left so that the final Xscreenwidth characters are visible. In this way, by moving the cursor Xon and off of a line, it is possible to read the complete line, Xprovided that the length of the line is not more than twice the width Xof your screen. Most of the commands in the command window are Xaccessible from within the view window and apply to the problem in the Xcurrent line. For example, typing `a' will append to the problem in Xthe current line. X XTyping `H' or `?' will scroll through a list of all the valid Xkeypresses from within the view window: X X.nf X CURSOR MOVEMENT COMMANDS: X X ? H Display this help. X q quit. X j n ^N SPC CR Forward one line. X DOWN_ARROW_KEY " . X k p ^P ^Y Backward one line. X UP_ARROW_KEY " . X ^F ^V Forward one window. X b ^B ESC-V Backward one window. X ^D Forward one half-window. X ^U Backward one half-window. X < Go to first line of listing. X > Go to last line of listing. X X COMMANDS WHICH OPERATE ON THE CURRENT PROBLEM: X X a Append to current problem. X c Close current problem. X d Delete current problem. X e m v Examine, View, or "more" current problem. X M Modify keyword field. X r Reorganize the database. X P Change the priority (severity) of problem. X R Reopen a closed problem. X S Save problem listing to a file. X T Transfer problem to another area. X X MISCELLANEOUS COMMANDS: X X ! starts up a shell. X ! cmd executes a shell command X !! reexecutes previous shell command. X ^L Repaint screen. X CR End-of-response when in a prompt. X V Print out version string. X.fi X X.IP "s -- subscribe to this problem area" X XYou will be added to a list of interested parties for this area. Each Xtime a change is made to the database for this area, every person on Xthe mailing list receives mail indicating the change that was made. XIn this way, it is easy to keep track of problems without having to Xregularly read all the areas to see if anything new has happened. X X.IP "u -- unsubscribe from this problem area" X XYou will be removed from the interested parties mailing list for this Xarea. X X.IP "k -- keyword search over problem headers" X XYou will be prompted for a regular expression which will then be used Xto search over the problem headers. If there are any matches, the Xsummary lines of each of the problems which matched will be displayed Xin a view window. For example, if you wished to peruse only open Xproblems, you could search for "open" whereupon you would be put in a Xview window consisting of only the open problems in the area. X X.IP "K -- keyword search over problem headers and data" X XThis is similar the the `k' command except that the regular expression Xsearch is over the complete problem header and data for each problem. X X.IP "M -- modify keyword field" X XThis command is useful if you want to modify the keyword field. At Xthe authors site, being an IBM stronghold, we place the number of each APAR X(Authorized Problem Analysis Report) which supposedly fixes a problem, Xin the keyword field. This cannot be done when the problem is logged Xsince the APAR number(s) aren't known at that time. XYou must be the original logger of the problem or the Xproblem administrator to do modify the keywords of a problem. X X.IP "d -- delete a problem from the database" X XThis command allows the database administrator to delete problems from Xthe database for this area. The problem data is irretrievably removed Xfrom the database. X X.IP "r -- reorganize the database" X XThis is an administrative command which can be used after many appends and Xdeletions have been made in the database to shrink it down and make Xaccessing it more efficient. It directly corresponds to the GDBM Xreorganize command. X X.IP "P -- modify priority (severity) of problem" X XThis command is useful if you want to modify the priority (severity) of Xa problem. Given that the original logger of the problem initially Xchooses the severity, the problem administrator may choose to Xlater change the priority of the problem to reflect the priority Xfrom the point of view of the person responsible for fixing the problem. XYou must be the original logger of the problem or the Xproblem administrator to change the priority of a problem. X X.IP "T -- transfer problem to another area" X XThis command is useful if you want to move a problem from the current Xarea to another area. XYou'll be prompted for the area in which to transfer the problem. XYou must be the original logger of the problem or the Xproblem administrator to transfer a problem. X X.IP "R -- reopen a closed problem" X XA closed problem can be reopened with this command. The X.I Status Xfield is changed from "closed" back to "open". X X.IP "q -- quit" X XThis quits from the command window and returns you to the area window. X X.SH OPTIONS XCommand line options are described below. X.PP X.IP "-d dirname" XInstructs X.I problem Xto use the next argument as the name of the directory in which all the Xproblem databases and mailing list files are stored. The author uses Xit primarily as a debugging tool. However, it allows different groups Xat a single site to set up their own databases, instead of forcing Xa single person to centrally administer all the problem areas Xat the site. X.IP "-v " XPrints out the version string and exits. X X.I Problem Xcan also be invoked with one or more problem areas as arguments. It Xwill then immediately startup in the command window for that area. XTyping `q' will then move on to the next problem area, or the area Xwindow if no more areas have been specified. If any of the arguments Xare not valid problem areas, you will also be placed in the area Xwindow when X.I problem Xtries to process that area. X X.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" X.IP COLUMNS XThis value, if nonzero, overrides the number of columns as read Xfrom termcap(3). Hence by setting X.B COLUMNS Xit is easy to use a Xdifferent number of columns than termcap(3) expects for a given Xterminal type. X.IP "EDITOR " XThe name of the editor (used by the `e' and `f' commands). X.IP "HOME " XThe user's home directory. X.IP "LINES " XThis value, if nonzero, overrides the number of lines as read Xfrom termcap(3). Hence by setting X.B LINES Xit is easy to use a Xdifferent number of lines than termcap(3) expects for a given Xterminal type. X.IP "PAGER " XThe pager used when viewing a problem. This is only used if problem Xis built to not automatically use the pager "less". If not built to Xautomaticaly use "less" and PAGER isn't defined, "more" is used. X.IP "SHELL " XThe shell used to execute the `!' command, as well as to expand filenames. X.IP "TERM " XThe type of terminal on which X.I problem Xis being run.

X It was inspired by PROBLEM, the problem database manager X under IBM VM/CMS that was written by Andy Hanushevsky at X Cornell University. It is intended to provide a common X interface to a collection of databases describing problems X and/or bugs which a UNIX site might be interested in track- X ing, and to facilitate the sharing of this information X amongst all interested parties. X X XCOMMANDS X In the following descriptions, ^X means control-X. ESC X stands for the ESCAPE key; for example ESC-v means the two X character sequence "ESCAPE", then "v". TAB stands for the X tab key. UP_ARROW stands for the up arrow key and DOWN_ARROW X stands for the down arrow key, if your keyboard supports X arrow keys. X X Typing problem, a list of problem areas, called the area X window, is displayed. This list is set up by the problem X administrator at your site. It consists of the areas into X which problems and bug reports can be logged. A sample area X window: X X 1 apf - for AIX Parallel Fortran problems under AIX/370 X 2 aix370 - general AIX/370 problems X 3 aixws - any workstation related problem X 4 dbx - any dbx-related problem X 5 AFS or NFS - any AFS or NFS related problem X X The areas are numbered from 1 to N, where N is the total X number of areas defined at your site. If N is less than X ten, you simply need to press the key corresponding to that X number to indicate your interest in that area. Otherwise, X you must type in the number followed by a carriage return. X If there are more areas than lines on your screen, problem X will display as many as will fit on the screen by forcing X the areas to fit in a series of twenty-five character wide X columns. If they still don't all fit on the screen, typing X `H' or `?' will scroll through all the areas. X X Once you've selected an area, a list of available commands, X called the command window, is displayed: X X l -- log new problem X a -- append to a problem X c -- close a problem X d -- delete a problem from the database X e -- examine a problem X q -- quit X r -- reorganize the database X s -- subscribe to this problem area X u -- unsubscribe from this problem area X v -- view problem summaries X k -- keyword search over problem headers X K -- keyword search over problem headers and data X M -- modify keyword field X R -- reopen a closed problem X P -- change priority (severity) of problem X T -- transfer problem to another area X X X Here you are expected to type a single letter symbolizing X the command of interest. Typing `H' or `?' will scroll X through the list of available commands. X X X l -- log new problem X X Typing `l', you'll immediately see a screen of the X form: X X Area networking X Logger mjlx X Reporter X Logged Mon Jun 29 08:56:27 1992 X Updated Mon Jun 29 08:56:27 1992 X Keywords X Summary X Status open X Site X Severity X Problem # X X This is known as the problem header. Here, Reporter is X intended to represent the user name or real name of the X person who reported the problem, which needn't be the X same as Logger. Of course you can fill in any of the X fields as you see fit. Severity , which runs from 4 X (the lowest) to 1 (the highest) is meant to be some X indication of the severity of the problem. The remain- X ing fields have their more or less obvious meaning. X X In the above problem header, problem has filled in the X fields that it can and will prompt for the others. It X will fill in the Problem # field, if and when the prob- X lem is really logged, with a positive number unique X across all problem areas. There is no limit to the X amount of text that can be stored in each field. After X filling out this header, problem will invoke the editor X in your EDITOR environment variable (or "vi" if not X defined), from which you are expected to enter the text X of the problem. When you exit from your editor, you'll X be prompted as to whether or not you really want to log X the problem. Typing `y' logs the problem and returns X you to the command window, while typing `n' simply X takes you back to the command window. X X X a -- append to a problem X X Here you'll be prompted for the problem # of an exist- X ing problem. If a problem of that number actually X exists, you'll immediately be brought up into your edi- X tor to enter the text of your append. When you exit X from your editor, you'll be prompted as to whether or X not you really wish to make this append. The Updated X field of the problem header will be updated to reflect X the time of the append. X X X c -- close a problem X X Here you'll be prompted for the problem # of an exist- X ing problem. If a problem of that number actually X exists, you'll immediately be brought up into your edi- X tor to enter the text of your close. Closing a problem X changes the Status field of the problem entry from X "open" to "closed"; it is not removed from the data- X base. It is meant to be an indication that the problem X has been solved. Only the original logger of the prob- X lem, or the problem administrator can close a problem. X The Updated field of the problem header will be updated X to reflect the time of the close. X X X e -- examine a problem X X You will be prompted for the problem # of an existing X problem. If that problem exists you'll be placed into X the pager "less" with a copy of the complete problem X header and data of that problem. This way you can then X page through the problem and do any thing else you X might do from a pager such as saving a copy of the X problem or only a portion of it to another file. X X X v -- view problem summaries X X Here a list consisting of selected parts of each prob- X lem header is displayed on the screen, one per line, X called the view window. The fields displayed are: X Problem #, Status, Severity (if the problem is open), X Updated, and Summary. The lines are sorted: "open" X before "closed"; severity 1 to severity 4; and then in X most recently updated to least recently updated order. X It the text of a line is longer than the screen width X the line is truncated and a `!' is place in the final X position in the line.
