Introduction
************
The standard C library, `libc.a', is automatically linked into your
programs by the `gcc' control program. It provides many of the
functions that are normally associated with C programs. This document
gives the proper usage information about each of the functions and
variables found in `libc.a'.
For each function or variable that the library provides, the definition
of that symbol will include information on which header files to include
in your source to obtain prototypes and type definitions relevent to the
use of that symbol.
Note that many of the functions in `libm.a' (the math library) are
defined in `math.h' but are not present in libc.a. Some are, which may
get confusing, but the rule of thumb is this - the C library contains
those functions that ANSI dictates must exist, so that you don't need
the `-lm' if you only use ANSI functions. These functions are,
however, vastly simplified compared to the ANSI spec and the functions
in `libm.a', which includes replacements. For example, `libc.a''s
`ldexp()' doesn't set `errno' on error, but `libm.a''s `ldexp()' does.

File: libc, Node: access, Next: acos, Prev: abs, Up: Alphabetical List
access
======
Syntax
------
#include <unistd.h>
int access(const char *filename, int flags);
Description
-----------
This function determines what kind of access modes a given file allows.
The parameter FLAGS is the logical `or' of one or more of the following
flags:
`R_OK'
Request if the file is readable. Since all files are readable
under MS-DOS, this access mode always exists.
`W_OK'
Request if the file is writable.
`X_OK'
Request if the file is executable.
`F_OK'
Request if the file exists.
`D_OK'
Request if the file is really a directory.
Return Value
------------
Zero if the requested access mode is allowed, nonzero if not.
Example
-------
if (access("file.ext", W_OK))
return ERROR_CANNOT_WRITE;
open("file.ext", O_RDWR);

alarm
=====
Syntax
------
#include <unistd.h>
unsigned alarm(unsigned seconds);
Description
-----------
This function causes the signal SIGALRM to be raised in SECONDS seconds.
A value of zero for SECONDS cancels any pending alarm. If an alarm has
previously been set, the new alarm delay will superceed the prior call.
Return Value
------------
The number of seconds remaining on the timer (i.e. always SECONDS).
Example
-------
signal(SIGALRM,my_alarm_routine);
alarm(5);
File: libc, Node: alloca, Next: asctime, Prev: alarm, Up: Alphabetical List
alloca
======
Syntax
------
#include <stdlib.h>
void *alloca(size_t _size)
Description
-----------
Allocate memory that will be automatically released when the current
procedure exits. Note that, when compiling with gcc, alloca is a
built-in function and not a library call.
Return Value
------------
A pointer to the memory, else NULL.
Example
-------
q = alloca(strlen(x)+1);
strcpy(q, x);
File: libc, Node: asctime, Next: asin, Prev: alloca, Up: Alphabetical List
asctime
=======
Syntax
------
#include <time.h>
char *asctime(const struct tm *tptr);
Description
-----------
This function returns an ASCII representation of the time represented by
TPTR. The string returned is always 26 characters and has this format:
Sun Jan 01 12:34:56 1993\n\0
The string pointed to is in a static buffer and will be overridden with
each call to asctime. The data should be copied if it needs to be
preserved.
Return Value
------------
A pointer to the string.
Example
-------
time_t now;
time(&now);
printf("The current time is %s", asctime(localtime(&now)));

assert
======
Syntax
------
#define NDEBUG
#include <assert.h>
assert(expression);
assertval(expression);
Description
-----------
These macros are used to assist in debugging. The source code includes
references to assert and assertval, passing them expressions that should
be true (or non-zero). When the expression equals zero, a diagnostic
message is printed to stderr and the program aborts.
If you define the macro `NDEBUG' before including `assert.h', then the
macros expand to nothing to reduce code size after debugging is done.
Return Value
------------
`assert' returns one if it passes, else it aborts.
`assertval' returns the value of the expression if nonzero, else it
aborts.
Example
-------
int strdup(char *s)
{
assert(s != 0);

atexit
======
Syntax
------
#include <stdlib.h>
int atexit(void (*func)(void));
Description
-----------
This function places the specified function FUNC on a list of functions

Return Value
------------
The number of bytes remaining when the first mismatch occurred, or zero
if all bytes were equal.
Example
-------
void f(char *s1, char *s2)
{
int l = bcmp(s1, s2, strlen(s1));
printf("Difference: %s, %s\n", s1+strlen(s1)-l, s2+strlen(s1)-l);
}

File: libc, Node: bdos, Next: bdosptr, Prev: bcopy, Up: Alphabetical List
bdos
====
Syntax
------
#include <dos.h>
int bdos(int func, unsigned dx, unsigned al);
Description
-----------
Calls function FUNC of the software interrupt 0x21, passing it AL as
the subfunction and (the lower 16 bit of) DX in the `DX' register.
This function will only work for a subset of DOS functions which
require no arguments at all, or take non-pointer arguments in the `AL'
and `DX' registers only. For functions which require a pointer in the
`DX' register, use `bdosptr' (*note bdosptr::.).
Return Value
------------
Whatever the called function returns in the AX register.
Example
-------
/* read a character */
int ch = bdos(1, 0, 0) & 0xff;

bdosptr
=======
Syntax
------
#include <dos.h>
int bdosptr(int func, void *ptr, unsigned al);
Description
-----------
Calls function FUNC of the software interrupt 0x21, passing it AL as
the subfunction and a pointer to a copy of the buffer contents whose
address is in PTR through the `DX' register. This function will only
work for a subset of DOS which require an argument in the `AL' register
and a pointer in `DX' register. For functions which require
non-pointer arguments in the `DX' register, use `bdos' (*note bdos::.).
To make the contents of PTR available to DOS, `bdosptr' copies it to
the transfer buffer located in the low (below 1 Meg mark) memory.
Currently, some of the functions which take a pointer to a buffer in
`DX' are *NOT* supported (notably, most of the FCB-based functions).
*Note int86:: for the list of supported functions.
Return Value
------------
Whatever the called function returns in the AX register.
Example
-------
/* print a string */
bdos(9, "Hello, there$", 0);
File: libc, Node: _bios_disk, Next: _bios_equiplist, Prev: bdosptr, Up: Alphabetical List
_bios_disk
==========
Syntax
------
#include <bios.h>
unsigned _bios_disk(unsigned cmd, struct diskinfo_t *di)
Description
-----------
This function interfaces with the BIOS disk sevice (interrupt 0x13).
The parameter CMD select the corresponding disk service and the
structure DI holds the disk parameters.
struct diskinfo_t {
unsigned drive; /* Drive number. */
unsigned head; /* Head number. */
unsigned track; /* Track number. */
unsigned sector; /* Sector number. */
unsigned nsectors; /* Number of sectors to read/write/verify. */
void *buffer; /* Buffer for reading/writing/verifying. */
}
The following services are available based on value of CMD:
`_DISK_RESET'
Forces the disk controller to do a hard reset, preparing for
floppy-disk I/O. This is useful after an error occurs in another
operation, such as a read. If this service is specified, the DI
argument is ignored. Status is returned in the 8 high-order bits
(AH) of the return value. If there is an error, the high-order
byte will contain a set of status flags, as defined below under
Return Value.
`_DISK_STATUS'
Obtains the status of the last disk operation. If this service is
specified, the <diskinfo> argument is ignored. Status is returned
in the 8 low-order bits (AL) of the return value. If there is an
error, the low-order byte (AL) will contain a set of status flags,
as defined below under Return Value.
`_DISK_READ'
Reads one or more disk sectors into memory. This service uses all
fields of the structure pointed to by DISKINFO. If no error
occurs, the function returns 0 in the high-order byte and the
number of sectors read in the low-order byte. If there is an
error, the high-order byte (AH) will contain a set of status
flags, as defined below under Return Value.
`_DISK_WRITE'
Writes data from memory to one or more disk sectors. This service
uses all fields of the structure pointed to by <diskinfo>. If no
error occurs, the function returns 0 in the high-order byte (AH)
and the number of sectors written in the low-order byte (AL). If
there is an error, the high-order byte will contain a set of
status flags, as defined below under Return Value.
`_DISK_FORMAT'
Formats the track specified by DISKINFO. The HEAD and TRACK fields
indicate the track to format. Only one track can be formatted in a
single call. The BUFFER field points to a set of sector markers.
The format of the markers depends on the type of disk drive (see a
technical reference to the PC BIOS to determine the marker
format). The high-order byte (AH) of the return value contains the
status of the call; 0 equals success. If there is an error, the
high-order byte will contain a set of status flags, as defined
below under Return Value.
`_DISK_VERIFY'
Checks the disk to be sure the specified sectors exist and can be
read. It also runs a CRC (cyclic redundancy check) test. This
service uses all fields (except BUFFER) of the structure pointed
to by DISKINFO. If no error occurs, the function returns 0 in the
high-order byte (AH) and the number of sectors compared in the
low-order byte (AL), as defined below under Return Value.
Return Value
------------
Return value of AX register. The meaning of high-order byte (AH):
0x00 No error

Description
-----------
This function interfaces with the BIOS disk sevice (interrupt 0x13).
Please refer to a BIOS reference manual for detailed information about
the parameters of this call. All known calls are supported. A sector
size of 512 bytes is assumed.
0 - reset disk subsystem
1 - get disk subsystem status
2 - read one or more sectors
3 - write one or more sectors
5 - format a track
6 - format back track
7 - format drive
8 - get drive parameters
9 - initialize drive parameters
10 - read long sectors
11 - write long sectors
12 - seek to cylinder
13 - alternate fixed disk reset
14 - read test buffer
15 - write test buffer
16 - test for drive ready
17 - recalibrate drive
18 - controller RAM diagnostic

20 - controller internal diagnostic
15 - read fixed disk type
22 - read disk change line status
23 - set DASD type (pass dasd in NSECTS)
24 - set media type for format
The first request with more sectors than will fit in the transfer
buffer will cause a DOS buffer to be allocated. This buffer is
automatically freed when your application exits. Since this buffer is
big enough to hold 18 sectors, requests for more sectors than that will
fail.
Request eight returns values in buffer as follows:
byte 0 = sectors per track (bits 0..5) and top two bits of cylinder (in bits 6..7)
byte 1 = cyliders (bits 0..7)
byte 2 = number of drives
byte 3 = number of heads
Return Value

_crt0_startup_flags
===================
Syntax
------
#include <crt0.h>
int _crt0_startup_flags = ...;
Description
-----------
This variable can be used to determine what the startup code will (or
will not) do when the program begins. This can be used to tailor the
startup environment to a particular program.
`_CRT0_FLAG_PRESERVE_UPPER_CASE'
If set, argv[0] is left in whatever case it was. If not set, all
characters are mapped to lower case. Note that if the argv0 field
in the stubinfo structure is present, the case of that part of
argv0 is not affected.
`_CRT0_FLAG_USE_DOS_SLASHES'
If set, reverse slashes (dos-style) are preserved in argv[0]. If
not set, all reverse slashes are replaced with unix-style slashes.
`_CRT0_FLAG_DROP_EXE_SUFFIX'
If set, the .EXE suffix is removed from the file name component of
argv[0]. If not set, the suffix remains.
`_CRT0_FLAG_DROP_DRIVE_SPECIFIER'
If set, the drive specifier (ex: `C:') is removed from the
beginning of argv[0] (if present). If not set, the drive
specifier remains.
`_CRT0_FLAG_DISALLOW_RESPONSE_FILES'
If set, response files (ex: @gcc.rf) are not expanded. If not
set, the contents of the response files are used to create
arguments. Note that if the file does not exist, that argument
remains unexpanded.
`_CRT0_FLAG_FILL_SBRK_MEMORY'
If set, fill sbrk()'d memory with a constant value. If not, memory
gets whatever happens to have been in there, which breaks some
applications.
`_CRT0_FLAG_FILL_DEADBEEF'
If set, fill memory (above) with 0xdeadbeef, else fill with zero.
This is especially useful for debugging uninitialized memory
problems.
`_CRT0_FLAG_NEARPTR'
If set, set DS limit to 4GB which allows use of near pointers to
DOS (and other) memory. WARNING, disables memory protection and
bad pointers may crash the machine or wipe out your data.
`_CRT0_FLAG_NULLOK'
If set, disable NULL pointer protection (if it can be controlled
at all).
`_CRT0_FLAG_NMI_SIGNAL'
If set, enabled capture of NMI in exception code. This may cause
problems with laptops and "green" boxes which use it to wake up.
Default is to leave NMIs alone and pass through to real mode code.
You decide.
`_CRT0_FLAG_NO_LFN'
If set, disable usage of long file name functions even on systems
(such as Win95) which support them. This might be needed to work
around program assumptions on file name format on programs written
specifically for DOS.
`_CRT0_FLAG_NONMOVE_SBRK'
If set, the sbrk() algorithm used used multiple DPMI memory blocks
which makes sure the base of CS/DS/SS does not change. This may
cause problems with sbrk(0) values and programs with other
assumptions about sbrk behavior. This flag is useful with near
pointers, since a constant pointer to DOS/Video memory can be
computed without needing to reload it after any routine which
might call sbrk().
`_CRT0_FLAG_UNIX_SBRK'
If set, the sbrk() algorithm used resizes memory blocks so that
the layout of memory is set up to be the most compatible with unix
sbrk() expectations. This mode should not be used with hardware
interrupts, near pointers, and may cause problems with QDPMI
virtual memory. If your program requires a specific sbrk()
behavior, you should set one of these flags, since the default may
change in different libc releases.
`_CRT0_FLAG_LOCK_MEMORY'
If set, locks all memory as it is allocated. This effectively
disables virtual memory, and may be useful if using extensive
hardware interrupt codes in a relatively small image size. The
memory is locked after it is sbrk()ed, so the locking may fail.
This bit may be set or cleared during execution. When sbrk() uses
multiple memory zones, it can be difficult to lock all memory
since the memory block size and location is impossible to
determine.

===========================
Syntax
------
#include <dpmi.h>
int __djgpp_map_physical_memory(void *our_addr, unsigned long num_bytes,
unsigned long phys_addr);
Description
-----------
This function attempts to map a range of physical memory over the
specified addresses. One common use of this routine is to map device
memory, such as a linear frame buffer, into the address space of the
calling program. OUR_ADDR, NUM_BYTES, and PHYS_ADDR must be
page-aligned. If they are not page-aligned, ERRNO will be set to
`EINVAL' and the routine will fail.
This routine properly handles memory ranges that span multiple DPMI
handles, while `__dpmi_map_device_in_memory_block' does not.
Consult DPMI documentation on function 0508H for details on how this
function works. Note: since 0508H is a DPMI service new with DPMI 1.0,
this call will fail on most DPMI 0.9 servers. For your program to work
on a wide range of systems, you should not assume this call will
succeed.
Even on failure, this routine may affect a subset of the pages
specified.
Return Value
------------
0 on success, -1 on failure. On failure, ERRNO will be set to `EINVAL'
for illegal input parameters, or `EACCES' if the DPMI server rejected
the mapping request.
Example
-------
if (__djgpp_map_physical_memory (my_page_aligned_memory, 16384, 0x40000000))

__djgpp_nearptr_enable
======================
Syntax
------
#include <sys/nearptr.h>
int __djgpp_nearptr_enable(void);
Description
-----------
This function enables "near pointers" to be used to access the DOS
memory arena. Sort of. When you call this function, it will return
nonzero if it has successfully enabled near pointers. If so, you must
add the value `__djgpp_conventional_base' to the linear address of the
physical memory. For example:
if (__djgpp_nearptr_enable())
{
short *screen = (short *)(__djgpp_conventional_base + 0xb8000);
for (i=0; i<80*24*2; i++)
screen[i] = 0x0720;
__djgpp_nearptr_disable();
}
The variable `__djgpp_base_address' contains the linear base address of
the application's data segment. You can subtract this value from other
linear addresses that DPMI functions might return in order to obtain a
near pointer to those linear regions as well.
If using the Unix-like sbrk algorithm, near pointers are only valid
until the next `malloc', `system', `spawn*', or `exec*' function call,
since the linear base address of the application may be changed by
these calls.
WARNING: When you enable near pointers, you disable all the protection
that the system is providing. If you are not careful, your application
may destroy the data in your computer. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Return Value
------------
Returns 0 if near pointers are not available, or nonzero if they are.

Description
-----------
This function sets the DPMI page attributes for the pages in a range of
memory. OUR_ADDR and NUM_BYTES must be page-aligned. If they are not
page-aligned, ERRNO will be set to `EINVAL' and the routine will fail.
Consult DPMI documentation on function 0507H for the meaning of the
ATTRIBUTES argument. Note: since 0507H is a DPMI service new with DPMI
1.0, this call will fail on most DPMI 0.9 servers. For your program to
work on a wide range of systems, you should not assume this call will
succeed.
Even on failure, this routine may affect a subset of the pages
specified.
Return Value
------------
0 on success, -1 on failure. On failure, ERRNO will be set to `EINVAL'
for illegal input parameters, or `EACCES' if the DPMI server rejected
the attribute setting.

========================
Syntax
------
#include <stdio.h>
void _djstat_describe_lossage(FILE *fp);
Description
-----------
Accesses the global variable *Note _djstat_fail_bits:: and prints to the
stream given by FP a human-readable description of the undocumented DOS
features which the last call to `stat()' or `fstat()' failed to use.
(If FP is zero, the function prints to stderr.) If the last call to
`f?stat()' didn't set any failure bits, an "all's well" message is
printed. This function is designed to help in debugging these
functions in hostile environments (like DOS clones) and in adapting
them to the future DOS versions. If you ever have any strange results
returned by `f?stat()', please call this function and post the
diagnostics it printed to the DJGPP mailing list.
The diagnostic messages this function prints are almost
self-explanatory. Some explanations of terminology and abbreviations
used by the printed messages will further clarify them.
SDA (Swappable DOS Area) - this is an internal DOS structure. `stat()'
uses it to get the full directory entry (including the starting cluster
number) of a file. The pointer to SDA found by `stat()' is trusted
only if we find the pathname of our file at a specific offset in that
SDA.
SFT (System File Table) - another internal DOS structure, used in file
operations. `fstat()' uses it to get full information on a file given
its handle. An SFT entry which is found by `fstat()' is only trusted
if it contains files size and time stamp like those returned by DOS
functions 57h and 42h. Novell NetWare 3.x traps DOS file operations in
such a way they never get to SFT, so some failure messages refer
specifically to Novell.
Hashing - the fall-back method of returning a unique inode number for
each file. It is used whenever the starting cluster of a file couldn't
be reliably determined.
Return Value
------------
None.

_djstat_fail_bits
=================
Syntax
------
#include <sys/stat.h>
extern unsigned short _djstat_fail_bits;
As proper operation of *Note stat:: and *Note fstat:: depend on
undocumented DOS features, they could fail in some incompatible
environment or a future DOS version. If they do, the
`_djstat_fail_bits' variable will have some of its bits set. Each bit
describes a single feature which was used and failed. The function
*Note _djstat_describe_lossage:: may be called to print a
human-readable description of the bits which were set by the last call
to `f?stat()'. This should make debugging `f?stat()' failures in an
unanticipated environment a lot easier.
The following bits are currently defined:
`_STFAIL_SDA'
Indicates that Get SDA call failed.
`_STFAIL_OSVER'
Indicates an unsupported DOS version (less than 3.10 for `stat()'
or less than 2.0 for `fstat()').
`_STFAIL_BADSDA'
The pointer to SDA was found to be bogus.
`_STFAIL_TRUENAME'
Indicates that *Note _truename:: function call failed.
`_STFAIL_HASH'
Indicates that the starting cluster of the file is unavailable,
and inode number was computed by hashing its name.
`_STFAIL_LABEL'
The application requested the time stamp of a root dir, but no
volume label was found.
`_STFAIL_DCOUNT'
The number of SDA reported is ridiculously large (probbaly an
unsupported DOS clone).
`_STFAIL_WRITEBIT'
`fstat()' was asked to get write access bit of a file, but
couldn't.
`_STFAIL_DEVNO'
`fstat()' failed to get device number.
`_STFAIL_BADSFT'
An SFT entry for this file was found by `fstat()', but its contents
can't be trusted because it didn't match file size and time stamp
as reported by DOS.
`_STFAIL_SFTIDX'
The SFT index in Job File Table in program's PSP is negative.
`_STFAIL_SFTNF'
The file entry was not found in the SFT array.
Below are some explanations of terminology and abbreviations used by the
printed messages, which will further clarify the meaning of the above
bits and their descriptions printed by *Note _djstat_describe_lossage::.

its handle. An SFT entry which is found by `fstat()' is only trusted
if it contains files size and time stamp like those returned by DOS
functions 57h and 42h. Novell NetWare 3.x traps DOS file operations in
such a way they never get to SFT, so some failure messages refer
specifically to Novell.
Hashing - the fall-back method of returning a unique inode number for
each file. It is used whenever the starting cluster of a file couldn't
be reliably determined.

_djstat_flags
=============
Syntax
------
#include <sys/stat.h>
extern unsigned short _djstat_flags;
This variable contains bits for some fields of struct stat which are
expensive to compute under DOS. Any such computation is only done by
*Note stat:: or *Note fstat:: if the corresponding bit in
`_djstat_flags' is cleared. By default, all the bits are cleared, so
applications which don't care, automagically get a full version,
possibly at a price of performance. To get the fastest possible
`f?stat()' for your application, clear only the bits which you need and
set all the others.
The following bits are currently defined:
`_STAT_INODE'
Causes `f?stat()' to compute the `st_ino' (inode number) field.
`_STAT_EXEC_EXT'
Tells `f?stat()' to compute the execute access bit from extension.
`_STAT_EXEC_MAGIC'
Tells `f?stat()' to compute the execute access bit from magic
signature (the first two bytes of the file, see *Note
_is_executable::. Note that if _STAT_EXEC_MAGIC is set, but
_STAT_EXEC_EXT is not, some files which shouldn't be flagged as
executables (e.g., COFF *.o object files) will have their execute
bit set, because they have the magic number signature at their
beginning. Therefore, only use the above combination if you want
to debug the list of extensions provided in is_exec.c file.
`_STAT_DIRSIZE'
Causes `stat' to compute directory size by counting the number of
its entries (unless some friendly network redirector brought a
true directory size with it).
`_STAT_ROOT_TIME'
Causes `stat()' to try to get time stamp of root directory from its
volume label entry, if there is one.
`_STAT_WRITEBIT'
Tells `fstat()' that file's write access bit is required (this
could be a problem only under some versions of Novell Netware).
Note that if you set a bit, some failure bits in *Note
_djstat_fail_bits:: might not be set, because some computations which
report failures are only done when they are required.

Description
-----------
These functions provide the equivalent functionality of "far pointers"
to peek or poke an absolute memory addresses, even though gcc doesn't
understand the keyword "far". They come in handy when you need to
access memory-mapped devices (like VGA) or some address in lower memory
returned by a real-mode service. These functions are provided as
inline assembler functions, so when you optimize your program they
reduce to only a few opcodes (only one more than a regular memory
access), resulting in very optimal code.
The first two groups of functions take a SELECTOR and an OFFSET. This
selector is *not* a dos segment. If you want to access dos memory,
pass _go32_info_block.selector_for_linear_memory (or just _dos_ds) as
the selector, and seg*16+ofs as the offset. For functions which poke
the memory, you should also provide the VALUE to put there.
The last two groups assume that you've used `_farsetsel' to specify the
selector. You should avoid making any function calls between
`_farsetsel' and using these other functions, unless you're absolutely
sure that they won't modify that selector. This allows you to optimize
loops by setting the selector once outside the loop, and using the
shorter functions within the loop.
Return Value
------------
Functions which peek the address return the value at given address.

File System Extensions
======================
Description
-----------
The File System Extensions are a part of the lowest level of I/O
operations in the C runtime library of DJGPP. These extensions are
provided to allow for cases where Unix uses a file descriptor to access
such items as serial ports, memory, and the network, but DOS does not.
It allows a set of functions (called an extension) to gain control when
one of these low-level functions is called on a file descriptor set up
by the extension.
Each extension must provide one or two handler functions. All handler
functions take the same arguments:
int function(__FDEXT_Fnumber func_number, int *rv, va_args *args);
The FUNC_NUMBER identifies which function is to be emulated. The file
`<sys/fsext.h>' lists the function numbers. RV points to a temporary
return value pointer. If the function is emulated, the return value
should be stored here, and the function should return a nonzero value.
If the function returns zero, it is assumed to have not emulated the
call, and the regular DOS I/O function will happen. The ARGS represent
the arguments passed to the original function; these point to the
actual arguments on the stack, so the emulation may choose to modify
them and return zero to the regular function, which will then act on
the modified arguments.
A normal extension would provide these parts:
* Some function to create a connection to the extension. This may
be a custom function (such as `socket' for networking) or an
extension to open (such as for `/dev/null' emulation).
* Initialization code that adds the open handler, if any.
* Overrides for the basic I/O functions, such as `read' and
`write'. This is a single function in the extension that uses the
function number parameter to select an extension function.
* The core functionality of the extension, if any.

__file_exists
=============
Syntax
------
#include <unistd.h>
int __file_exists(const char *_fn);
Description
-----------
This function provides a fast way to ask if a given file exists.
Unlike access(), this function does not cause other objects to get
linked in with your program, so is used primarily by the startup code
to keep minimum code size small.
Return Value
------------
Zero if the file does not exist, nonzero if it does. Note that this is
the opposite of what access() returns.
Example
-------
if (__file_exists(fname))
process_file(fname);
File: libc, Node: file_tree_walk, Next: filelength, Prev: __file_exists, Up: Alphabetical List
file_tree_walk
==============
Syntax
------
#include <dir.h>
int __file_tree_walk(const char *dir,
int (*func)(const char *path, const struct ffblk *ff));
Description
-----------
This function recursively descends the directory hierarchy which starts
with DIR. For each file in the hierarchy, `__file_tree_walk' calls the
user-defined function FUNC which is passed a pointer to a
`NULL'-terminated character array in PATH holding the full pathname of
the file, a pointer to a `ffblk' structure (*note findfirst::.) FFF
with a DOS filesystem information about that file.
This function always visits a directory before any of its siblings. The
argument DIR must be a directory, or `__file_tree_walk' will fail and
set ERRNO to `ENOTDIR'. The directory DIR itself is never passed to
FUNC.
The tree traversal continues until one of the following events:
(1) The tree is exhausted (i.e., all descendants of DIR are
processed). In this case, `__file_tree_walk' returns 0, meaning a
success.
(2) An invocation of FUNC returns a non-zero value. In this case,
`__file_tree_walk' stops the tree traversal and returns whatever FUNC
returned.
(3) An error is detected within `__file_tree_walk'. In that case,
`ftw' returns -1 and sets ERRNO (*note errno::.) to a suitable value.
Return Value
------------
Zero in case the entire tree was successfully traversed, -1 if
`__file_tree_walk' detected some error during its operation, or any
other non-zero value which was returned by the user-defined function
FUNC.
Example
-------
#include <stdlib.h>
int
ff_walker(const char *path, const struct ffblk *ff)
{
printf("%s:\t%lu\t", path, ff->ff_fsize);
if (ff->ff_attrib & 1)

findfirst
=========
Syntax
------
#include <dir.h>
int findfirst(const char *pathname, struct ffblk *ffblk, int attrib);
Description
-----------
This function and the related `findnext' (*note findnext::.) are used
to scan directories for the list of files therein. The PATHNAME is a
wildcard that specifies the directory and files to search for (such as
`subdir/*.c'), FFBLK is a structure to hold the results and state of
the search, and ATTRIB is a combination of the following:
`FA_RDONLY'
Include read-only files in the search
`FA_HIDDEN'
Include hidden files in the search
`FA_SYSTEM'
Include system files in the search
`FA_LABEL'
Include the volume label in the search
`FA_DIREC'
Include subdirectories in the search
`FA_ARCH'
Include modified files in the search
Any file that doesn't have any flag bits that aren't specified is
selected for the search. Thus, if you specified `FA_DIREC' and
`FA_LABEL', you would get all subdirectories, the volume label, and any
file that is neither read-only or modified.
The results of the search are stored in FFBLK:
struct ffblk {
char ff_reserved[21]; /* used to hold the state of the search */
unsigned char ff_attrib; /* actual attributes of the file found */
unsigned short ff_ftime; /* hours:5, minutes:6, (seconds/2):5 */
unsigned short ff_fdate; /* (year-1980):7, month:4, day:5 */
unsigned long ff_fsize; /* size of file */
char ff_name[16]; /* name of file as ASCIIZ string */
}
Return Value
------------
Zero if a match is found, nonzero if none found.
Example
-------
struct ffblk f;
int done = findfirst("*.exe", &f, FA_ARCH|FA_RDONLY);
while (!done)
{
printf("%10u %2u:%02u:%02u %2u/%02u/%4u %s\n",

fnmatch
=======
Syntax
------
#include <fnmatch.h>
int fnmatch(const char *pattern, const char *string, int flags);
Description
-----------
This function indicates if STRING matches the PATTERN. The pattern may
include the following special characters:
`*'
Matches zero of more characters.
`?'
Matches exactly one character
`[...]'
Matches one character if it's in a range of characters. If the
first character is `!', matches if the character is not in the
range. Between the brackets, the range is specified by listing
the characters that are in the range, or two characters separated
by `-' to indicate all characters in that range. For example,
`[a-d]' matches `a', `b', `c', or `d'.
`\'
Causes the next character to not be treated as a wildcard. For
example, `\*' matches an asterisk. This is only available if FLAGS
includes `FNM_QUOTE'.
The value of FLAGS is a combination of zero of more of the following:
`FNM_PATHNAME'
This means that the string should be treated as a pathname, in
that the slash character `/' never matches any of the wildcards.
`FNM_QUOTE'
This means that the backslash `\\' may be used for quoting special
characters in the pattern.
Return Value
------------
Zero if the string matches, FNM_NOMATCH if it does not.

Description
-----------
This function constructs a file PATH from its components DRIVE, DIR,
NAME, and EXT. If any of these is a `NULL' pointer, it won't be used.
Usually, the DRIVE string should include the trailing colon ``:'', the
DIR string should include the trailing slash ``/'' or backslash ``\'',
and the EXT string should include the leading dot ``.''. However, if
any of these isn't present, `fnmerge' will add them.
*Note fnsplit::.

=======
Syntax
------
#include <dir.h>
int fnsplit (const char *path, char *drive, char *dir,
char *name, char *ext);
Description
-----------
This function decomposes a PATH into its components. It is smart
enough to know that `.' and `..' are directories. The DRIVE, DIR, NAME
and EXT arguments should all be passed, but some or even all of them
might be `NULL' pointers. Those of them which are non-`NULL' should
point to buffers which have enough room for the strings they would
hold. The constants `MAXDRIVE', `MAXDIR', `MAXFILE' and `MAXEXT',
defined on dir.h, define the maximum length of these buffers.
*Note fnmerge::.
Return Value
------------
A flag that indicates which components were found:
`DRIVE'
The drive letter was found.
`DIRECTORY'
A directory or subdirectories was found.
`FILENAME'
A filename was found.
`EXTENSION'
An extension was found.
`WILDCARDS'
The path included `*' or `?'.
Example
-------
char d[MAXDRIVE], p[MAXDIR], f[MAXFILE], e[MAXEXT];

=====
Syntax
------
#include <stdio.h>
FILE *fopen(const char *filename, const char *mode);
Description
-----------
This function opens a stream corresponding to the named FILENAME with
the given MODE. The mode can be one of the following:
`r'
Open an existing file for reading.
`w'
Create a new file (or truncate an existing file) and open it for
writing.
`a'
Open an existing file (or create a new one) for writing. The file
pointer is positioned to the end of the file before every write.
Followed by any of these characters:
`b'
Force the file to be open in binary mode instead of the default
mode.
`t'
Force the file to be open in text mode instead of the default mode.
`+'
Open the file as with `O_RDWR' so that both reads and writes can
be done to the same file.
If the file is open for both reading and writing, you must call
`fflush', `fseek', or `rewind' before switching from read to write or
from write to read.
The open file is set to line buffered if the underlying object is a
device (stdin, stdout, etc), or is fully buffered if the underlying
object is a disk file (data.c, etc).
If `b' or `t' is not specified in MODE, the file type is chosen by the
value of `fmode' (*note _fmode::.).
Return Value
------------
A pointer to the `FILE' object, or `NULL' if there was an error.

of the file. The offset is usually nonpositive in this case.
*Warning!* The ANSI standard only allows values of zero for OFFSET when
WHENCE is not `SEEK_SET' and the file has been opened as a text file.
Although this restriction is not enforced, beware that there is not a
one-to-one correspondence between file characters and text characters
under MS-DOS, so some `fseek' operations may not do exactly what you
expect.

assigns the handler function for that descriptor.
The module is responsible for calling `_close' on the descriptor after
setting the handler function to zero in the extended close handler.

int fstat(int file, struct stat *sbuf);
Description
-----------
This function obtains the status of the open file FILE and stores it in
SBUF. *Note stat:: for the description of `struct stat' fields.
Return Value
------------
Zero on success, nonzero on failure (and ERRNO set).
Example
-------
struct stat s;
fstat(fileno(stdin), &s);
if (S_ISREG(s.st_mode))
puts("STDIN is a redirected disk file");
else if (S_ISCHR(s.st_mode))
puts("STDIN is a character device");
Bugs
----
If a file was open in write-only mode, its execute mode bits might be
incorrectly reported as if the file were non-executable. This is
because some executables are only recognized by reading their first two
bytes, which cannot be done for files open in write-only mode.
For `fstat()' to return valid info, you should make sure that all the
data written to the file has been delivered to the operating system,
e.g. by calling `fflush()'. Otherwise, the buffering of the library
I/O functions might cause stale info to be returned.
Implementation Notes
--------------------
Supplying a 100% Unix-compatible `f?stat()' functions under DOS is an
implementation nightmare. The following notes describe some of the
obscure points specific to their behavior in DJGPP.
1. The `drive' for character devices (like `con', `/dev/nul' and others
is returned as -1. For drives networked by Novell Netware, it is
returned as -2.
2. The starting cluster number of a file serves as its inode number.
For files whose starting cluster number is inaccessible (empty files,
files on networked drives, etc.) the `st_inode' field will be `invented'
in a way which guarantees that no two different files will get the same
inode number (thus it is unique). This invented inode will also be
different from any real cluster number of any local file. However, only
for local, non-empty files/directories the inode is guaranteed to be
consistent between `stat()' and `fstat()' function calls.
3. The WRITE access mode bit is set only for the user (unless the file
is read-only, hidden or system). EXECUTE bit is set for directories,
files which can be executed from the DOS prompt (batch files, .com,
.dll and .exe executables) or run by go32 extender. For files which
reside on networked drives under Novell Netware, this can sometimes
fail, in which case only the read access bit is set.
4. Size of directories is reported as the number of its files (sans `.'
and `..' entries) multiplied by 32 bytes (the size of directory entry).
5. Time stamp for root directories is taken from the volume label entry,
if that's available; otherwise, it is reported as 1-Jan-1980.
6. The variable *Note _djstat_flags:: controls what hard-to-get fields
of `struct stat' are needed by the application.

ftw
===
Syntax
------
#include <ftw.h>
int ftw(const char *dir,
int (*func)(const char *path, struct stat *stbuf, int flag),
int depth);
Description
-----------
This function recursively descends the directory hierarchy which starts
with DIR. For each file in the hierarchy, `ftw' calls the user-defined
function FUNC which is passed a pointer to a `NULL'-terminated
character array in PATH holding the full pathname of the file, a
pointer to a `stat' structure (*note stat::.) STBUF with a filesystem
information about that file, and an integer FLAG. Possible values of
FLAG are:
`FTW_F'
This is a regular file.
`FTW_D'
This is a directory.
`FTW_VL'
This is a volume label.
`FTW_DNR'
This is a directory which cannot be read with `readdir()'. (This
will never happen in DJGPP.)
`FTW_NS'
This file exists, but `stat' fails for it.
If FLAG is `FTW_DNR', the descendants of that directory won't be
processed. If FLAG is `FTW_NS', then STBUF will be garbled.
This function always visits a directory before any of its siblings. The
argument DIR must be a directory, or `ftw' will fail and set ERRNO to
`ENOTDIR'. The function FUNC is called with DIR as its argument before
the recursive descent begins.
The DEPTH argument has no meaning in the DJGPP implementation and is
always ignored.
The tree traversal continues until one of the following events:
(1) The tree is exhausted (i.e., all descendants of DIR are
processed). In this case, `ftw' returns 0, meaning a success.
(2) An invocation of FUNC returns a non-zero value. In this case,
`ftw' stops the tree traversal and returns whatever FUNC returned.
(3) An error is detected within `ftw'. In that case, `ftw' returns -1
and sets ERRNO (*note errno::.) to a suitable value.
Return Value
------------
Zero in case the entire tree was successfully traversed, -1 if `ftw'
detected some error during its operation, or any other non-zero value
which was returned by the user-defined function FUNC.
Implementation Notes
--------------------
This function uses `malloc' (*note malloc::.) for dynamic memory
allocation during its operation. If FUNC disrupts the normal flow of
code execution by e.g. calling `longjump' or if an interrupt handler
which never returns is executed, this memory will remain permanently
allocated.
This function calls `opendir()' and `readdir()' functions to read the
directory entries. Therefore, you can control what files will your
FUNC get by setting the appropriate bits in the external variable
__OPENDIR_FLAGS. *Note opendir::, for description of these bits.
This function also calls `stat' for every directory entry it passes to
FUNC. If your application only needs some part of the information
returned in the `stat' structure, you can make your application
significantly faster by setting bits in the external variable
_DJSTAT_FLAGS (*note _djstat_flags::. for details). The most expensive
`stat' features are `_STAT_EXEC_MAGIC' and `_STAT_DIRSIZE'.
Example
-------
#include <stdlib.h>

file_walker(const char *path, struct stat *sb, int flag)

================
Syntax
------
#include <dos.h>
extern unsigned short _osmajor, _osminor;

unsigned short _get_dos_version(int true_version);
Description
-----------
This function gets the host OS version and flavor. If the argument
TRUE_VERSION is non-zero, it will return a `true' version number, which
is unaffected by possible tinkering with SETVER TSR program. (This is
only available in DOS 5.0 or later.)
The external variables `_osmajor' and `_osminor' will always be set to
the major and minor parts of the `advertised' version number, possibly
changed by SETVER, even if TRUE_VERSION is non-zero. You typically
need the true version when you need an intimate knowledge of the host
OS internals, like when using undocumented features. Note that some
DOS clones (notably, DR-DOS) do not support DOS function required to
report the true DOS version; for these, the version reported might be
affected by SETVER even if TRUE_VERSION is non-zero.
The external variable `_os_flavor' will point to a string which
describes the OEM name of the host OS variety.
Return Value
------------
`_get_dos_version()' returns the version number (true version number,
if TRUE_VERSION is non-zero) as a 16-bit number: the major part of the
version in the upper 8 bits, the minor part in the lower 8 bits. For
instance, DOS version 6.20 will be returned as 0x0614.
Example
-------
unsigned short true_dos_version = _get_dos_version(1);
if (true_dos_version < 0x0614) /* require DOS 6.20 or later */
puts("This program needs DOS 6.20 or later to run");

getmntent
=========
Syntax
------
#include <mntent.h>
struct mntent *getmntent(FILE *filep);
Description
-----------
This function returns information about the various drives that are
available to your program. Beginning with drive `A:', information is
retrieved for successive drives with successive calls to `getmntent'.
Note that drives `A:' and `B:' will only be returned if there is an
MS-DOS formatted disk in the drive; empty drives are skipped. For
systems with a single floppy drive, it is returned as if it were
mounted on A:/ or B:/, depending on how it was last referenced (and if
there is a disk in the drive).
For each drive scanned, a pointer to a static structure of the following
type is returned:
struct mntent
{
char * mnt_fsname; /* The name of this file system */
char * mnt_dir; /* The root directory of this file system */
char * mnt_type; /* Filesystem type */
char * mnt_opts; /* Options, see below */
int mnt_freq; /* -1 */
int mnt_passno; /* -1 */
long mnt_time; /* -1 */
};
DJGPP implementation returns the following in the first 4 fields of
`struct mntent':
`mnt_fsname'
For networked and CD-ROM drives, the name of root directory in the
form "\\HOST\PATH" (this is called a UNC name).
For drives compressed with DoubleSpace, the string
"X:\DBLSPACE.NNN", where "X" is the drive letter of the host drive
and "NNN" is the sequence number of the Compressed Volume File.
For drives compressed with Stacker, the string "X:\STACVOL.NNN",
where "X" and "NNN" are as for DoubleSpace drives.
For SUBSTed drives, the actual directory name that that was
SUBSTed to emulate a drive.
JOINed drives get their name as if they were NOT JOINed (i.e.,
either the label name or the default "Drive X:").
For drives with a volume label, the name of the label; otherwise
the string "Drive X:", where "X" is the drive letter.
`mnt_dir'
For most drives, the name of its root directory "X:/" (where "X" is
the drive letter), except that JOINed drives get this as the name
of the directory to which they were JOINed.
For systems with a single floppy drive (which can be referenced as
either "a:/" or "b:/"), the mount directory will be returned as
one of these, depending on which drive letter was last used to
reference that drive.
`mnt_type'
"fd" for floppy disks
"hd" for hard disks
"dblsp" for disks compressed with DoubleSpace
"stac" for disks compressed with Stacker
"cdrom" for CD-ROM drives
"ram" for RAM disks
"subst" for SUBSTed directories
"join" for JOINed disks
"net" for networked drives
`mnt_opts'
The string "ro,dev=XX" for CD-ROM drives, "rw,dev=XX" for all the
others, where "XX" is the hexadecimal drive number of the REAL
drive on which this filesystem resides. That is, if you call
`stat' on MNT_FSNAME, you will get the numeric equivalent of XX in
`st_dev' field of `struct stat'. E.g., for drive C: you will get
"rw,dev=02". Note that SUBSTed and JOINed drives get the drive
numbers as if SUBST and JOIN were NOT in effect.
Return Value
------------
This function returns a pointer to an `struct' `mntent', or NULL if
there are no more drives to report on.
Example
-------
struct mntent *m;
FILE *f;
f = setmntent("", "");
while ((m = getmntent(f)))
printf("Drive %s, name %s\n", m->mnt_dir, m->mnt_fsname);

*Note DPMI Overview::
This function creates a small assembler function that handles the
overhead of servicing an interrupt. To use, put the address of your
servicing function in the `pm_offset' field of INFO and call this
function. The `pm_field' will get replaced with the address of the

Description
-----------
*Note DPMI Overview::
This function allocates a "real-mode callback". Fill in the
`pm_offset' field of INFO and call this function. It will fill in the
`rm_segment' and `rm_offset' fields. Any time a real-mode program
calls the real-mode address, your function gets called. The registers
in affect will be stored in REGS, which should be a global, and will be
passed to your function. Any changes in REGS will be reflected back
into real mode. A wrapper will be added to your function to simulate
the effects of an `iret' instruction, so this function is useful for
trapping real-mode software interrupts (like 0x1b - `Ctrl-Break' hit).
Return Value
------------
Zero on success, nonzero on failure.

#include <dpmi.h>
int _go32_dpmi_allocate_real_mode_callback_retf(_go32_dpmi_seginfo *info, _go32_dpmi_registers *regs);
Description
-----------
*Note DPMI Overview::
This function allocates a "real-mode callback". Fill in the
`pm_offset' field of INFO and call this function. It will fill in the
`rm_segment' and `rm_offset' fields. Any time a real-mode program
calls the real-mode address, your function gets called. The registers
in affect will be stored in REGS, which should be a global, and will be
passed to your function. Any changes in REGS will be reflected back
into real mode. A wrapper will be added to your function to simulate
the effects of a far return, such as the callback for the packet driver
receiver.
Return Value
------------
Zero on success, nonzero on failure.

Description
-----------
*Note DPMI Overview::
This function is used to chain a protected mode interrupt. It will
build a suitable wrapper that will call your function and then jump to
the next handler. Your function need not perform any special handling.
*Warning!* Because of the way DPMI works, you may *not* `longjmp' out
of an interrupt handler or perform any system calls (such as `printf')
from within an interrupt handler.

================
Syntax
------
#include <go32.h>
extern __Go32_Info_Block _go32_info_block;
Description
-----------
The go32 information block is a mechanism for `go32' to pass
information to the application. Some of this information is generally
useful, such as the pid or the transfer buffer, while some is used
internally to `libc.a' only.
The structure has this format:
typedef struct {
unsigned long size_of_this_structure_in_bytes;
unsigned long linear_address_of_primary_screen;
unsigned long linear_address_of_secondary_screen;
unsigned long linear_address_of_transfer_buffer;
unsigned long size_of_transfer_buffer;
unsigned long pid;
unsigned char master_interrupt_controller_base;
unsigned char slave_interrupt_controller_base;
unsigned short selector_for_linear_memory;
unsigned long linear_address_of_stub_info_structure;
unsigned long linear_address_of_original_psp;
unsigned short run_mode;
unsigned short run_mode_info;
} Go32_Info_Block;
The linear address fields provide values that are suitable for
`dosmemget', `dosmemput', and `movedata'. The
selector_for_linear_memory is suitable for `<sys/farptr.h>' selector
parameters.
Due to the length of these fields, and their popularity, the following
macros are available:
`_dos_ds'
This expands to _go32_info_block.selector_for_linear_memory
`__tb'
This expands to _go32_info_block.linear_address_of_transfer_buffer
The `run_mode' field indicates the mode that the program is running in.
The following modes are defined:
`_GO32_RUN_MODE_UNDEF'
This indicates that the extender did not (or could not) determine
or provide the mode information. The most probable reason is that
it's an older extender that does not support this field. The
program should not assume anything about the run mode if it is
this value.
`_GO32_RUN_MODE_RAW'
This indicates that no CPU manager is being used, and no XMS
manager is present. The CPU is being managed directly from the
extender, and memory was allocated from the extended memory pool.
`_GO32_RUN_MODE_XMS'
This indicates that the extender is managing the CPU, but an XMS
driver is managing the memory pool.
`_GO32_RUN_MODE_VCPI'
This indicates that a VCPI server (like `emm386' or `qemm') is
managing both the CPU and the memory.
`_GO32_RUN_MODE_DPMI'
This indicates that a DPMI server (like `qdpmi' or Windows) is
managing both the CPU and memory. Programs may rely on this value
to determine if it is safe to use DPMI 0.9 functions.
If this value is set, the `run_mode_info' field has the DPMI
specification version, in hex, shifted eight bits. For example,
DPMI 0.9 has 0x005A in the `run_mode_info' field.
Note that the program should not assume that the value will be one of
the listed values. If the program is running with an extender that
provides some other mode (say, a newly released extender) then the
program should be able to handle that case gracefully.

Description
-----------
This function tells go32 whether or not it wants `Ctrl-Break' to be an
exception or passed to the application. If you pass a nonzero value
for YES, pressing `Ctrl-Break' will set a flag that can be detected
with `_go32_was_ctrl_break_hit' (*note _go32_was_ctrl_break_hit::.).

int86
=====
Syntax
------
#include <dos.h>
int int86(int ivec, union REGS *in, union REGS *out);
Description
-----------
Note: The `.x.' branch is a problem generator. Most code expects the
`.x.' branch to have e.g. "`.x.ax'" members, and that they are 16-bit.
If you know you want 32-bit values, use the `.d.eax' members. If you
know you want 16-bit values, use the `.w.ax' members. The `.x.'
members behave according to `#defines', as follows:
`default'
If you specify no `#define', the `.x.' branch has "`ax'" members
and is 32-bit. This is compatible with previous versions of djgpp.
`_NAIVE_DOS_REGS'
This define gives you `.x.ax', but they are 16-bit. This is
probably what most programs ported from 16-bit dos compilers will
want.
`_BORLAND_DOS_REGS'
This define gives you `.x.eax' which are 32-bit. This is
compatible with Borland's 32-bit compilers.
This function simulates a software interrupt. Note that, unlike the
`__dpmi_int' function, requests that go through `int86' and similar
functions are specially processed to make them suitable for invoking
real-mode interrupts from protected-mode programs. For example, if a
particular routine takes a pointer in `BX', `int86' expects you to put
a (protected-mode) pointer in `EBX'. Therefore, `int86' should have
specific support for every interrupt and function you invoke this way.
Currently, it supports only a subset of all available interrupts and
functions:
1) All functions of any interrupt which expects only scalar arguments
registers (i.e., no pointers to buffers).
2) In addition, the following functions of interrupt 21h are supported:
9, 39h, 3Ah, 3Bh, 3Ch, 3Dh, 3Fh, 40h, 41h, 43h, 47h, 56h.
When the interrupt is invoked, the CPU registers are copied from IN.
After the interrupt, the CPU registers are copied to OUT.
This function is just like `int86x' (*note int86x::.) except that
suitable default values are used for the segment registers.
*Note int86x::. *Note intdos::. *Note bdos::.
Return Value
------------
The returned value of `EAX'.

_is_executable
==============
Syntax
------
#include <sys/stat.h>
int _is_executable(const char *path, int fhandle, const char *extension);
Description
-----------
This function determines if a file is executable under DOS/DJGPP
environment. The file may be given either by its PATH or its file
handle FHANDLE. If EXTENSION is non-NULL and non-empty, it is used
first to look up in a list of known extensions which determine whether
the file is executable. (If the _STAT_EXEC_EXT bit of the *Note
_djstat_flags:: global variable is not set, this step is skipped.) If
EXTENSION is unavailable or not enough to determine the result, the
first 2 bytes of the file are checked to contain one of the known
`magic numbers' identifying the file as executable. If the file's 2
first bytes need to be read but the read fails, 0 is returned and errno
is set. (The file is only searched for magic number if the
_STAT_EXEC_MAGIC bit of the *Note _djstat_flags:: variable is set.)
Note that if _STAT_EXEC_MAGIC is set, but _STAT_EXEC_EXT is not, some
files which shouldn't be flagged as executables (e.g., COFF *.o object
files) will have their execute bit set, because they have the magic
number signature at their beginning. Therefore, only use the above
combination if you want to debug the list of extensions provided in
is_exec.c file.
If the file passed by its handle was open as write-only, and the
extension alone isn't enough to determine whether the file is
executable, then this function returns 0, because it cannot look at the
`magic number'.
This function is used internally by `f?stat()'; you are not supposed to
call it directly.
Return Value
------------
1 for executable file, 0 otherwise (including in case of errors in
accessing the file).

`char n_cs_precedes'
If nonzero, the currency string should precede the monetary value
if the monetary value is negative.
`char n_sep_by_space'
If nonzero, the currency string and the monetary value should be
separated by a space if the monetary value is negative.
`char n_sign_posn'
Determines the placement of the negative indication string if the

========
Syntax
------
#include <sys/movedata.h>
void movedata(unsigned source_selector, unsigned source_offset,
unsigned dest_selector, unsigned dest_offset,
size_t length);
Description
-----------
This function allows the caller to directly transfer information
between conventional and linear memory, and among each as well. The
selectors passed are *not* segment values like in DOS. They are
protected mode selectors that can be obtained by the `_my_ds' and
`_go32_info_block.selector_for_linear_memory' (or just `_dos_ds')
functions (*Note _my_ds::, *Note _go32_info_block::). The offsets are
linear offsets. If the selector is for the program's data area, this
offset corresponds to the address of a buffer (like `(int)&something').
If the selector is for the conventional memory area, the offset is the
physical address of the memory, which can be computed from a
traditional segment/offset pair as `segment'*16+`offset'. For example,
the color text screen buffer is at offset 0xb8000.
Return Value
------------
None.
Example
-------
short blank_row_buf[ScreenCols()];
/* scroll screen */
movedata(_dos_ds, 0xb8000 + ScreenCols()*2,

Description
-----------
This function modifies the access protection of a memory region.
Protection occurs in 4Kbyte regions (pages) aligned on 4Kbyte
boundaries. All pages in the region will be changed, so ADDR and LEN
should be multiples of 4096.
The protection PROT for each page is specified with the values:
PROT_NONE Region can not be touched (if or'ed is ignored).
PROT_READ Region can be read (can be or'ed with PROT_WRITE).
PROT_WRITE Region can be written (implies read access).
This function is only supported on DPMI hosts which provide some V1.0
extensions on V0.9 memory blocks.
Return Value
------------
The function returns 0 if successful and the value -1 if all the pages
could not be set.

popen
=====
Syntax
------
#include <stdio.h>
FILE *popen(const char *program, const char *mode);
Description
-----------
This function executes the named `program' and attaches either its
input stream or its output stream to the returned file. While the file
is open, the calling program can write to the program (if the program
was open for writing) or read the program's output (if the program was
opened for reading). When the program is done, or if you have no more
input for it, pass the file pointer to `pclose' (*note pclose::.),
which terminates the program.
Since MS-DOS does not support multitasking, this function actually runs
the entire program when the program is opened for reading, and stores
the output in a temporary file. `pclose' then removes that file.
Similarly, when you open a program for writing, a temp file holds the
data and `pclose' runs the entire program.
The MODE is the same as for `fopen' (*note fopen::.).
Return Value
------------
An open file which can be used to read the program's output or write to
the program's input.

printf
======
Syntax
------
#include <stdio.h>
int printf(const char *format, ...);
Description
-----------
Sends formatted output from the arguments (...) to `stdout'.
The format string contains regular characters to print, as well as
conversion specifiers, which begin with a percent symbol. Each
conversion speficier contains the following fields:
* an optional flag, which may alter the conversion:
`-'
left-justify the field.
`+'
Force a `+' sign on positive numbers.
`space'
To leave a blank space where a plus or minus sign would have
been.
`#'
Alternate conversion - prefix octal numbers with `0',
hexadecimal numbers with `0x' or `0X', or force a trailing
decimal point if a floating point conversion would have
omitted it.
`0'
To pad numbers with leading zeros.
* A field width specifier, which specifies the minimum width of the
field. This may also be an asterisk (`*'), which means that the
actual width will be obtained from the next argument. If the
argument is negative, it supplies a `-' flag and a positive width.
* An optional decimal point and a precision. This may also be an
asterisk, but a negative argument for it indicates a precision of
zero. The precision specifies the minimum number of digits to
print for an integer, the number of fraction digits for a floating
point number (max for `g' or `G', actual for others), or the
maximum number of characters for a string.
* An optional conversion qualifier, which may be `h' to specify
`short', `l' to specify long ints, or `L' to specify long doubles.
* The conversion type specifier:
`c'
A single character
`d'
A signed integer
`D'
A signed long integer
`e'
`E'
A floating point number (double or long double). The
exponent case matches the specifier case. The representation
always has an exponent.
`f'
A floating point number (double or long double). The
representation never has an exponent.
`g'
`G'
A floating point number (double or long double). The
exponent case matches the specifier case. The representation
has an exponent if it needs one.
`i'
A signed integer.
`n'
The next argument is a pointer to an integer, and the number
of characters generated so far is stored in that integer.
`o'
A unsigned integer, printed in base 8 instead of base 10.
`p'
A pointer. This is printed with an `x' specifier.
`s'
A `NULL'-terminated string.
`u'
An unsigned integer.
`U'
An unsigned long integer.
`x'
`X'
An unsigned integer, printed in base 16 instead of base 10.
The case of the letters used matches the specifier case.
`%'
A single percent symbol is printed.
Return Value
------------
The number of characters written.
Example
-------
printf("%-3d %10.2f%% Percent of %s\n", index, per[index], name[index]);

======
Syntax
------
#include <stdlib.h>
int putenv(const char *env);
Description
-----------
This function adds an entry to the program's environment. The string
passed must be of the form `NAME'=`VALUE'. Any existing value for the
environment variable is gone.
`putenv' will copy the string passed to it, and will automatically free
any existing string already in the environment. Keep this in mind if
you alter the environment yourself. The string you pass is still your
responsibility to free. Note that most implementations will not let
you free the string you pass, resulting in memory leaks.

#include <stdlib.h>
void qsort(void *base, size_t numelem, size_t size,
int (*cmp)(const void *e1, const void *e2));
Description
-----------
This function sorts the given array in place. BASE is the address of
the first of NUMELEM array entries, each of size SIZE bytes. `qsort'
uses the supplied function CMP to determine the sort order for any two
elements by passing the address of the two elements and using the
function's return address.
The return address of the function indicates the sort order:
Negative
Element E1 should come before element E2 in the resulting array.
Positive
Element E1 should come after element E2 in the resulting array.
Zero
It doesn't matter which element comes first in the resulting array.
Return Value
------------
None.

realloc
=======
Syntax
------
#include <stdlib.h>
void *realloc(void *ptr, size_t size);
Description
-----------
This function changes the size of the region pointed to by PTR. If it
can, it will reuse the same memory space, but it may have to allocate a
new memory space to satisfy the request. In either case, it will
return the pointer that you should use to refer to the (possibly new)
memory area. The pointer passed may be `NULL', in which case this
function acts just like `malloc' (*note malloc::.).
Return Value
------------
A pointer to the memory you should now refer to.

element in the queue must be in the form of `struct qelem' which is
defined thus:
struct qelem {
struct qelem *q_forw;
struct qelem *q_back;
char q_data[0];
}
This function removes the entry ELEM from a queue.
Return Value
------------
None.
File: libc, Node: rename, Next: rewind, Prev: remque, Up: Alphabetical List
rename
======
Syntax
------
#include <stdio.h>
int rename(const char *oldname, const char *newname);
Description
-----------
This function renames an existing file or directory OLDNAME to NEWNAME.
If NEWNAME exists, then it is first removed. If NEWNAME is a
directory, it must be empty (or else ERRNO will be set to `ENOTEMPTY'),
and must not include OLDNAME in its path prefix (otherwise, ERRNO will
be set to `EINVAL'). If NEWNAME exists, both OLDNAME and NEWNAME must
be of the same type (both directories or both regular files) (or else
ERRNO will be set to `ENOTDIR' or `EISDIR'), and must reside on the
same logical device (otherwise, ERRNO will be set to `EXDEV').
Wildcards are not allowed in either OLDNAME or NEWNAME. DOS won't
allow renaming a current directory even on a non-default drive (you
will get the `EBUSY' or `EINVAL' in ERRNO). `ENAMETOOLONG' will be
returned for pathnames which are longer than the limit imposed by DOS.
If OLDNAME doesn't exist, ERRNO will be set to `ENOENT'. For most of
the other calamities, DOS will usually set ERRNO to `EACCES'.
If anything goes wrong during the operation of `rename()', the function
tries very hard to leave the things as ther were before it was invoked,
but it might not always succeed.
Return Value
------------
Zero on success, nonzero on failure.
Example
-------
rename("c:/mydir/some.doc", "c:/yourdir/some.sav");
rename("c:/path1/mydir", "c:/path2");

rindex
======
Syntax
------
#include <strings.h>
char *rindex(const char *string, int ch);
Description
-----------
Returns a pointer to the last occurrence of CH in STRING. Note that
the `NULL' character counts, so if you pass zero as CH you'll get a
pointer to the end of the string back.
Return Value
------------
A pointer to the character, or `NULL' if it wasn't found.

File: libc, Node: sbrk, Next: scanf, Prev: rmdir, Up: Alphabetical List
sbrk
====
Syntax
------
#include <osfcn.h>
void *sbrk(int delta)
Description
-----------
This function changes the "break" of the program by adding DELTA to it.
This is the highest address that your program can access without
causing a violation. Since the heap is the region under the break, you
can expand the heap (where `malloc' gets memory from) by increasing the
break.
This function is normally accessed only bu `malloc' (*note malloc::.).
Return Value
------------
The address of the first byte outside of the previous valid address
range, or -1 if no more memory could be accessed. In other words, a
pointer to the chunk of heap you just allocated, if you had passed a
positive number.
Example
-------
char *buf;
buf = sbrk(1000); /* allocate space */
File: libc, Node: scanf, Next: Screen Variables, Prev: sbrk, Up: Alphabetical List
scanf
=====
Syntax
------
#include <stdio.h>
int scanf(const char *format, ...);
Description
-----------
This function scans formatted text from `stdin' and stores it in the
variables pointed to by the arguments. *Note scanf::.
The format string contains regular characters which much match the input
exactly as well as a conversion specifiers, which begin with a percent
symbol. Any whitespace in the format string matches zero or more of any
whitespace characters in the input. Thus, a single space may match a
newline and two tabs in the input. All conversions except `c' and `['
also skip leading whitespace automatically. Each conversion specifier
contains the following fields:
* An asterisk (`*') which indicates that the input should be
converted according to the conversion spec, but not stored
anywhere.
* A width specifier, which specifies the maximum number of input
characters to use in the conversion.
* An optional conversion qualifier, which may be `h' to specify
`short', `l' to specify long ints, or `L' to specify long doubles.
* The conversion type specifier:
`c'
Copy the next character (or WIDTH characters) to the given
buffer.
`d'
Convert the input to a signed integer.
`e'
`E'
`f'
`g'
`G'
Convert the input to a floating point number.
`i'
Convert the input, determining base automatically by the
presence of `0x' or `0' prefixes. *Note strtol::.
`n'
Store the number of characters scanned so far into the
integer pointed to.
`o'
Convert the input to a signed integer, using base 8.
`p'
Convert the input to a pointer. This is like using the `x'
format.
`s'
Copy the input to the given string, skipping leading
whitespace and copying non-whitespace characters up to the
next whitespace. The string stored is then `NULL'-terminated.
`u'
Convert the input to an unsigned integer.
`x'
`X'
Convert the input to an unsigned integer, using base 16.
`[...]'
Like the `c' format, except only certain characters are
copied. The characters between the brackets determine which
characters are allowed, and thus when the copying stops.
These characters may be regular characters (example:
`[abcd]') or a range of characters (example: `[a-d]'). If
the first character is a caret (`^'), then the set specifies
the set of characters that do not get copied (i.e. the set
is negated). To specify that the set contains a
close-bracket (`]'), list that as the first regular character.
`%'
This must match a percent character in the input.
Most conversions make use of `strtol' or `strtoul' to perform the
actual conversions.
Return Value
------------
The number of items successfully scanned.
Example
-------
int x, y;
char buf[100];
scanf("%d %d %s", &x, &y, buf);
/* read to end-of-line */
scanf("%d %[^\n]\n", &x, buf);
/* read letters only */

Description
-----------
The first two variables (actually, they are #define'd aliases to fields
in the _GO32_INFO_BLOCK structure *note _go32_info_block::.) allow
access to the video memory of the primary and secondary screens as if
they were arrays. To reference them, you must use
dosmemget()/dosmemput() functions (*Note dosmemget::, *Note
dosmemput::) or any one of the far pointer functions (*note _far*::.),
as the video memory is *not* mapped into your default address space.
The variable ScreenAttrib holds the current attribute which is in use by
the text screen writes. The attribute is constructed as follows:
bits 0-3 - foreground color;
bits 4-6 - background color;
bit 7 - blink on (1) or off (0).

void ScreenPutChar(int ch, int attr, int col, int row);
Description
-----------
This function writes the character whose value is specified in CH with
an attribute ATTR at row given by ROW and column given by COL, which
are zero-based. It does so by directly accessing the video memory, so
it will only work when the screen is in text mode.
Return Value
------------
None.

Syntax
------
#include <pc.h>
void ScreenPutString(const char *str, int attr, int column, int row);
Description
-----------
Beginning at screen position given by COLUMN and ROW, this function
displays the string given by STR. Each string character gets the
attribute given by ATTR. If COLUMN or ROW have values outside legal
range for current video mode, nothing happens. The variables ROW and
COLUMN are zero-based (e.g., the topmost row is row 0).
Return Value
------------
None.

======
Syntax
------
#include <time.h>
int
select(int nfds,
fd_set *readfds,
fd_set *writefds,
fd_set *exceptfds,
struct timeval *timeout)
Description
-----------
This function waits for files to be ready for input or output, or for a
timeout. Each fd_set represents a set of bits representing file
descriptors. The following macros shall be used to deal with these
sets:
`FD_ZERO(p)'
Initialize the set to all zeros.
`FD_SET(n, p)'
Set member N in set P.
`FD_CLR(n, p)'
Clear member N in set P.
`FD_ISSET(n, p)'
Return the value of member N in set P.
The TIMEOUT value may be a NULL pointer (no timeout), a pointer to a
zero-value structure (poll mode), or a pointer to an interval-filled
structure (timeout).
Return Value
------------
The number of files ready. The input sets are replaced with sets that
describe which files are ready for which operations.

_set_screen_lines
=================
Syntax
------
#include <conio.h>
void _set_screen_lines(int nlines);
Description
-----------
This function sets the text screen width to 80 and its height to the
value given by NLINES, which can be one of the following: 25, 28, 35,
40, 43 or 50. On a CGA, only 25-line screen is supported. On an EGA,
you can use 25, 35 and 43. VGA, PGA and MCGA support all of the
possible dimensions. The number of columns (i.e., screen width) is 80
for all of the above resolutions, because the standard EGA/VGA has no
way of changing it. After this function returns, calls to
`gettextinfo()' will return the actual screen dimensions as set by
`_set_screen_lines()'. That is, you can e.g. test whether
`_set_screen_lines()' succeeded by checking the screen height returned
by `gettextinfo()' against the desired height. This function has a
side effect of erasing the screen contents, so application programs
which use it should make their own arrangements to redisplay it.

Description
-----------
This function modifies the buffering characteristics of FILE. First,
if the file already has a buffer, it is freed. If there was any
pending data in it, it is lost, so this function should only be used
immediately after a call to `fopen'.
If the BUFFER passed is `NULL', the file is set to unbuffered. If a
non-`NULL' buffer is passed, it must be at least `BUFSIZ' bytes in
size, and the file is set to fully buffered.

struct itimerval {

int setitimer(int which, struct itimerval *value, struct itimerval *ovalue);
Description
-----------
Each process has two interval timers, ITIMER_REAL and ITIMER_PROF, which
signal SIGALRM and SIGPROF respectively. These are typically used to
provide alarm() and profiling capabilities.
This function changes the current value of the interval timer specified
by WHICH to the values in structure VALUE. The previous value of the
timer is returned if OVALUE is not NULL. When the timer expires the
appropriate signal is raised.
A timer is defined by the itimerval structure. If it_value is non-zero
it specifies the time to the next timer expiration. If it_interval is
non-zero it specifies the value to reload into it_value on timer
expiration. Setting it_value to zero disables a timer. Setting
it_interval to zero causes the timer to only happen once instead of
repeating.
Return Value
------------
Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure (and sets errno).

is complete enough that `longjmp' (*note longjmp::.) can return the
program to that state. It is also complete enough to implement
coroutines.
Return Value
------------
This function will return zero if it is returning from it's own call.
If longjmp is used to restore the state, it will return whatever value
was passed to longjmp, except if zero is passed to longjmp it will
return one.

=======
Syntax
------
#include <io.h>

-----------
This function sets the mode of the given FILE to MODE, which is either
`O_TEXT' or `O_BINARY'. It will also set the file into either cooked
or raw mode accordingly, and set any `FILE*' objects that use this file
into text or binary mode.
Note that, for buffered streams (`FILE*'), you must call `fflush'
(*note fflush::.) before `setmode', or call `setmode' before writing
anything to the file, for proper operation.
Return Value
------------
When successful, the function will return the previous mode of the
given FILE. In case of failure, -1 is returned and ERRNO is set.

=======
Syntax
------
#include <stdio.h>

Description
-----------
This function modifies the buffering characteristics of FILE. First,
if the file already has a buffer, it is freed. If there was any
pending data in it, it is lost, so this function should only be used
immediately after a call to `fopen'.
If the TYPE is `_IONBF', the BUFFER and LENGTH are ignored and the file
is set to unbuffered mode.
If the TYPE is `_IOLBF' or `_IOFBF', then the file is set to line or
fully buffered, respectively. If BUFFER is `NULL', a buffer of size
SIZE is created and used as the buffer. If BUFFER is non-`NULL', it
must point to a buffer of at least size SIZE and will be used as the
buffer.

Description
-----------
These functions run other programs. The PATH points to the program to
run. The extension is optional - if not given, the usual extensions
`.com', `.exe', and `.bat' are checked.
The programs are invoked with the arguments given. The zeroth argument
is normally not used, since MS-DOS cannot pass it separately. There are
two ways of passing arguments. The `l' functions (like `spawnl') take
a list of arguments, with a zero at the end of the list. This is
useful when you know how many argument there will be ahead of time.
The `v' functions (like `spawnv') take a pointer to a list of
arguments. This is useful when you need to compute the number of
arguments at runtime.
In either case, you may also specify `e' to indicate that you will be
giving an explicit environment, else the current environment is used.
You may also specify `p' to indicate that you would like `spawn*' to
search the PATH (in either the environment you pass or the current
environment) for the executable, else it will only check the explicit
path given.
Note that these function understand about other djgpp programs, and will
call them directly, so that you can pass command lines longer than 128
characters to them without any special code.
*Note exec*::.
Return Value
------------
If successful and `mode' is `P_WAIT', these functions return the exit
code of the child process. Note that if the program is run by a
command processor (e.g., if it's a batch file), the exit code of that
command processor will be returned. `COMMAND.COM' is notorious for
returning 0 even if it couldn't run the command.
If successful and MODE is `P_OVERLAY', these functions will not return.
If there is an error, these functions return -1 and set `errno' to
indicate the error.
Example
-------
char *environ[] = {
"PATH=c:\\dos;c:\\djgpp;c:\\usr\\local\\bin",
"DJGPP=c:/djgpp",
0

Implementation Notes
--------------------
Supplying a 100% Unix-compatible `f?stat()' functions under DOS is an
implementation nightmare. The following notes describe some of the
obscure points specific to their behavior in DJGPP.
1. The `drive' for character devices (like `con', `/dev/nul' and others
is returned as -1. For drives networked by Novell Netware, it is
returned as -2.
2. The starting cluster number of a file serves as its inode number.
For files whose starting cluster number is inaccessible (empty files,
files on networked drives, etc.) the `st_inode' field will be `invented'
in a way which guarantees that no two different files will get the same
inode number (thus it is unique). This invented inode will also be
different from any real cluster number of any local file. However, only
for local, non-empty files/directories the inode is guaranteed to be
consistent between `stat()' and `fstat()' function calls.
3. The WRITE access mode bit is set only for the user (unless the file
is read-only, hidden or system). EXECUTE bit is set for directories,
files which can be executed from the DOS prompt (batch files, .com,
.dll and .exe executables) or run by go32 extender.
4. Size of directories is reported as the number of its files (sans `.'
and `..' entries) multiplied by 32 bytes (the size of directory entry).
5. Time stamp for root directories is taken from the volume label entry,
if that's available; otherwise, it is reported as 1-Jan-1980.
6. The variable *Note _djstat_flags:: controls what hard-to-get fields
of `struct stat' are needed by the application.
7. `stat()' should not be used to get an up-to-date info about a file
which is open and has been written to, because `stat()' will only
return correct data after the file is closed. Use *Note fstat:: while
the file is open.

times
=====
Syntax
------
#include <sys/times.h>
clock_t times(struct tms *buf);
Description
-----------
This function returns the number of clock ticks used by the current
process and all of its children until the moment of call. The number
of tics per second is `CLOCKS_PER_SEC', defined on time.h.
This is the structure in which `times' returns its info:
struct tms {
clock_t tms_cstime;
clock_t tms_cutime;
clock_t tms_stime;
clock_t tms_utime;
};
Currently, the elapsed time of the running program is returned in the
`tms_utime' field, and all other fields return as zero.
Return Value
------------
The number of elapsed tics since the program started.
Example
-------
printf("We used %d seconds of elapsed time\n", times(&buf)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC);

tmpfile
=======
Syntax
------
#include <stdio.h>
FILE *tmpfile(void);
Description
-----------
This function opens a temporary file. It will automatically be removed
if the file is closed or when the program exits. The name of the file
is generated by the same algorithm as described under tmpnam() (*note
tmpnam::.).
Return Value
------------
A newly opened file.
Example
-------
FILE *tmp = tmpfile();
File: libc, Node: tmpnam, Next: toascii, Prev: tmpfile, Up: Alphabetical List
tmpnam
======
Syntax
------
#include <stdio.h>
char *tmpnam(char *s);
Description
-----------
This functions generates a string that is a valid file name and that is
not the same as the name of an existing file. A different string is
guaranteed to be produced each time it is called, up to `TMP_MAX' times
(`TMP_MAX' is defined on stdio.h). If `tmpnam' is called more than
TMP_MAX times, the behavior is implementation-dependent (ours just
wraps around and tries to reuse the same file names from the beginning).
This function examines the environment to determine the directory in
which the temporary file will be opened. It looks for one of the
variables `"TMPDIR"', `"TEMP"' and `"TMP"', in that order. The first
one which is found in the environment will be used on the assumption
that it points to a directory. If neither of the above variables is
defined, `tmpnam' defaults to the "c:/" directory (which under MS-DOS
might mean that it fails to generate TMP_MAX unique names, because DOS
root directories cannot grow beyond certain limits).
Return Value
------------
If S is a null pointer, `tmpnam' leaves its result in an internal
static buffer and returns a pointer to that buffer. If S is not a null
pointer, it is assumed to point to an array of at least `L_tmpnam'
characters, and `tmpnam' writes its result in that array and returns a
pointer to it as its value.
Example
-------
char buf[L_tmpnam];
char *s = tmpname(buf);

_truename
=========
Syntax
------
#include <sys/stat.h>
char * _truename(const char *path, char *true_path);
Description
-----------
Given a PATH of a file, returns in TRUE_PATH its canonicalized
pathname, with all letters uppercased, default drive and directory made
explicit, forward slashes converted to backslashes, asterisks converted
to appropriate number of of question marks, file and directory names
truncated to 8.3 if necessary, "." and ".." resolved, extra slashes (but
the last, if present) removed, SUBSTed, JOINed and ASSIGNed drives
resolved. Character devices return as "X:/DEVNAME" (note the forward
slash!), where X is the CURRENT drive and DEVNAME is the device name
(e.g. CON). This is exactly what DOS TRUENAME command does. See
Ralph Brown's Interrupt List for more details.
The named PATH doesn't have to exist, but the drive, if given as part
of it, should be a legal DOS drive, as this function hits the disk.
The function will fail if given a PATH which (1) is an empty string; or
(2) contains only the drive letter (e.g. "c:"); or (3) has leading
whitespace. It will also fail if it couldn't allocate memory required
for its communication with DOS or for TRUE_PATH (see below).
Upon success, the function will place the result in TRUE_PATH, if
that's non-NULL; the buffer should be large enough to contain the
largest possible pathname (PATH_MAX characters). If TRUE_PATH is a
NULL pointer, the space to hold the result will be allocated by calling
*Note malloc::; it is up to the caller to release the buffer by calling
*Note free::.
Return Value
------------
The function returns the pointer to the result. In case of any failure,
a NULL pointer is returned, and ERRNO is set.
Example
-------
fprintf(stderr,
"True name of %s is %s\n", path, _truename(path, (char *)0));

File: libc, Node: uclock, Next: umask, Prev: ttyname, Up: Alphabetical List
uclock
======
Syntax
------
#include <time.h>
uclock_t uclock(void);
Description
-----------
This function returns the number of uclock ticks since an arbitrary
time, actually, since the first call to `uclock', which itself returns
zero. The number of tics per second is UCLOCKS_PER_SEC.
`uclock' is provided for very high-resulution timing. It is currently
accurate to better than 1 microsecond (actually about 840 nanoseconds).
You cannot time across two midnights with this implementation, giving
a maximum useful period of 48 hours and an effective limit of 24 hours.
Casting to a 32-bit integer limits its usefulness to about an hour
before 32 bits will wrap.
Note that `printf' cannot print a value of type `uclock_t', even though
it is an integer value, because it is a 64-bit integer.
Also note that `uclock' reprograms the interval timer in your PC to act
as a rate generator rather than a square wave generator. I've had no
problems running in this mode all the time, but if you notice strange
things happening with the clock (losing time) after using `uclock',
check to see if this is the cause of the problem.
Return Value
------------
The number of tics.
Example
-------
printf("%d seconds have elapsed\n", (int)(uclock()/UCLOCKS_PER_SEC));

_use_lfn
========
Syntax
------
#include <libc/dosio.h>
int _use_lfn(void);
Description
-----------
This function returns a nonzero value if the low level libc routines
should try to use the Long File Name (LFN) functions provided with
Windows 95. This routine can be replaced with one always returning 0
to disable using long file names.
Long file names can also be disabled by setting the flag
_CRT0_FLAG_NO_LFN in _crt0_startup_flags for an image which should not
allow use of long file names. Long names can be suppressed at runtime
on a global basis by setting the environment variable LFN to N, i.e.
SET LFN=N. This might be needed if a distribution expected the
truncation of long file names to 8.3 format to work. For example, if a
C source routine included the file exception.h (9 letters) and the file
was unzipped as exceptio.h, then GCC would not find the file unless the
environment variable was set. The environment variable can be set in
the djgpp.env file to always disable LFN support on any system, or can
be set in the DOS environment for a short term (single project) basis.
If you dual boot a system between Windows 95 and DOS, you probably
should set LFN=n in your djgpp.env file, since long file names would not
be visable under DOS, and working with the short names under DOS will
damage the long names when returning to Windows 95.
Return Value
------------
If LFN APIs are supported and should be used, it returns 1, else 0.
