These functions have meaning only under Hurd. They are needed to get port
names that are used in native Hurd API (the RPCs to servers). The .defs
and .h files can be found in /include/hurd when all development files are
installed (Debian package hurd-dev.) Note that .defs are not included in C
programs -- they are used to produce .h files.
- file_t
- getcwdir (void);
- Get file_t port name of current working directory. See <hurd/fs.defs> and <hurd/fs.h>.
- int
- setcwdir (file_t);
- Set current working directory.
- file_t
- getcrdir (void);
- Get file_t port name of current root directory.
- int
- setcrdir (file_t);
- Set current root directory.
- file_t
- file_name_lookup (const char *file, int flags, mode_t mode);
- Open a port to FILE with the given FLAGS and MODE (see <fcntl.h>). The file lookup uses the current root and working directory. Returns a port to the file if successful; otherwise sets errno and returns MACH_PORT_NULL.
- file_t
- file_name_lookup_under (file_t startdir, const char *file, int flags, mode_t mode);
- Open a port to FILE with the given FLAGS and MODE (see <fcntl.h>). The file lookup uses the current root directory, but uses STARTDIR as the "working directory" for file relative names. Returns a port to the file if successful; otherwise sets errno and returns MACH_PORT_NULL.
- file_t
- file_name_path_lookup (const char *file_name, const char *path, int flags, mode_t mode, char **prefixed_name);
- Lookup FILE_NAME and return the node opened with FLAGS & MODE (see hurd_file_name_lookup for details), but a simple file name (without any directory prefixes) will be consecutively prefixed with the pathnames in the : separated list PATH until one succeeds in a successful lookup. If none succeed, then the first error that wasn't ENOENT is returned, or ENOENT if no other errors were returned. If PREFIXED_NAME is non-NULL, then if the result is looked up directly, *PREFIXED_NAME is set to NULL, and if it is looked up using a prefix from PATH, *PREFIXED_NAME is set to malloc'd storage containing the prefixed name.
- file_t
- file_name_split (const char file, char **name);
- Split FILE into a directory and a name within the directory. The directory lookup uses the current root and working directory. If successful, stores in *NAME a pointer into FILE where the name within directory begins and returns a port to the directory; otherwise sets errno and returns MACH_PORT_NULL.
- file_t
- directory_name_split (const char *file, char **name);
- Split DIRECTORY into a parent directory and a name within the directory. This is the same as file_name_split, but ignores trailing slashes.
- FILE *
- fopenport (io_t port, const char *mode);
- Open a stream on a port. MODE is as for fopen. If successful, this consumes a user reference for PORT (which will be deallocated on fclose).
- int
- openport (io_t port, int flags);
- Open a file descriptor on a port. FLAGS are as for open; flags affected by io_set_openmodes are not changed by this. If successful, this consumes a user reference for PORT (which will be deallocated on close.) See <hurd/io.defs> and <hurd/io.h>.
- task_t
- pid2task (pid_t pid);
- Return the task control port of process PID. On error, sets errno and returns MACH_PORT_NULL.
- pid_t
- task2pid (task_t task);
- Return the PID of the task whose control port is TASK. On error, sets errno and returns -1.
- int
- geteuids (int n, uid_t *uidset);
- Get the effective UID set.
- int
- seteuids (int n, const uid_t *uidset);
- Set the effective UID set.
- auth_t
- getauth (void);
- Get port name of current authentication server. See <hurd/auth.defs> and <hurd/auth.h>.
- int
- setauth (auth_t);
- Set current authentication server.
- process_t
- getproc (void);
- Get port name of current process server. See <hurd/process.defs> and <hurd/process.h>.
- int
- setproc (process_t);
- Set current process server.
- mach_port_t
- getcttyid (void);
- Get the CTTY port.
- int
- setcttyid (mach_port_t);
- Set the CTTY port.
- kern_return_t
- get_privileged_ports (host_priv_t *host_priv_ptr, device_t *device_master_ptr);
- Fetch the host privileged port and device master port from the process server.
- mode_t
- getumask (void);
- Get the current `umask' value without changing it (this glibc functions is available only under GNU Hurd.)
- int
- vpprintf (io_t port, const char *format, va_list arg);
- Write formatted output to PORT, a Mach port supporting the i/o protocol, according to the format string FORMAT, using the argument list in ARG.
- thread_t
- hurd_thread_self (void);
- Return the current thread's thread port. This is a cheap operation (no system call), but it relies on Hurd signal state being set up.
- error_t
- hurd_thread_cancel (thread_t thread);
- Cancel pending operations on THREAD. If it is doing an interruptible RPC, that RPC will now return EINTR; otherwise, the "cancelled" flag will be set, causing the next hurd_check_cancel call to return nonzero or the next interruptible RPC to return EINTR (whichever is called first).
- int
- hurd_check_cancel (void);
- Test and clear the calling thread's "cancelled" flag.
