1.3.9: setitimer/getitimer granularity
Hello folks,
I want to poll some sockets other machines deliver data to. I have to wait a
maximum amount of time until ALL sockets should have received an arbitrary
amount of data, to put the incoming data into time slots. So I have to do
subsequent poll()s or select()s, each with a timeout of the remaining time
from the previous one. With Linux, I can use select() for this: it returns
the time remaining. But the manpage stated this is not portable.
I have tried to get the remaining time with setitimer/getitimer, but that
doesn't seem to work with Cygwin. Anyway, with Linux, it works well.
The code snippet is like below:
#include
#include
int subsequent_poll(struct pollfd connections[], unsigned int
connection_count, int timeout);
{
struct itimerval timer;
unsigned int i;
for(i=0;irevent=0;
connections[i]->event=POLLIN;
}
timer.it_interval.tv_sec=0;
timer.it_interval.tv_usec=0;
timer.it_value.tv_sec=timeout / 1000;
timer.it_value.tv_usec=(timeout-timer.it_value.tv_sec*1000)*1000;
setitimer(ITIMER_REAL,&timer,NULL);
poll(connections,connection_count,timeout);
getitimer(ITIMER_REAL,&timer);
return (timer.it_value.tv_sec * 1000 + timer.it_value.tv_usec /
1000);
}
The problem is, getimer returns only values which are a multiple of
1000(and, oddly, sometimes a value of -296), so the granularity is only one
second. This happens for a value of timeout below or above 1000, all the
same.
Is there any way to get around this problem, or does select() in Cygwin
works like in Linux? That will be portable enough for now.
Thanks,
Jan Kandziora

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: autoconf-2.53-1
The autoconf package has been updated from version 2.52c-1 to version 2.53-1. Recall that this package is not the REAL autoconf. It's a set of wrapper scripts that call the REAL autoconf from autoconf-stable or autoconf-devel, depending on the needs of your target. See this message http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00100.html Changes: o Add an 'autom4te' wrapper to handle the corresponding program that is a new part of the "real" autoconf-2.53 o You don't need the "real" autoconf-2.53 to use this wrapper package. So don't worry that your autoconf-devel package is "only" at version 2.52-4. -- Chuck Wilson To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'autoconf' from the 'Devel' category. You may need to click the "Full" button if it doesn't show up. Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is already updated. In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror.

Try putting:
"\e[2~": paste-from-clipboard
in your .inputrc.
With this, copy/paste work perfectly in rxvt for me.

The emulated 3rd button only works if you massage the configuration files
to do this (like linux system installers do). Otherwise you might like
to try Shift-Left Click. (BTW, if you've got a wheel mouse, the wheel counts
as a 3rd button.)

But this belongs to the 'insert' key on the keyboard.
Cut&Paste with mouse is built in rxvt, double-click/triple-click to copy
word/line to the clipboard, left click somewhere and following right-click
to mark the whole area (and immediately copit to the clipboard) and
to paste (or with the above entry in
.inputrc)
And while editing .inputrc, consider to add some more goodies:
$ cat .inputrc
# This file is read by the 'readline' library
# (the library which bash uses for its command-
# line editing facility)
# Make Home work
"\e[7~": beginning-of-line
# Make End work
"\e[8~": end-of-line
# Make Delete work
"\e[3~": delete-char
# make Insert work

If you are going to actually use *setup* to update things later, then, yes. Again, as I keep saying, over and over and over, this isn't brain surgery. You could create the entries in /etc/setup with a shell script, too. I'm trying to dispell the myth that setup is doing anything magical that couldn't be done with normal utilities. The things that setup buys you are a gui front-end, dependency checking, and automatic downloading. If you just need to repeatedly install a standard bunch of packages, you don't need to do any of that. cgf -- Please do not send me personal email with cygwin questions.

RE: copying and pasting in rxvt
Jorg, Here's what I did: I used "od -c" to determine what are the actual sequences generated by the keys I cared to map and then wrote a .inputrc file based on that. Here's a hint, RXVT and the Windows console do not agree fully on key mappings (nor are the completely distinct). Here's the ".inputrc" file I use. It works both with RXVT and the Windows console: -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- # set completion-ignore-case on # Console: # F1 - F5 "\M-[[A""fg %1\C-M" "\M-[[B""fg %2\C-M" "\M-[[C""fg %3\C-M" "\M-[[D""fg %4\C-M" "\M-[[E""fg %5\C-M" # RXVT: # F1 - F4 "\M-[11~" "fg %1\C-M" "\M-[12~" "fg %2\C-M" "\M-[13~" "fg %3\C-M" "\M-[14~" "fg %4\C-M" "\M-[15~" "fg %5\C-M" # Both Console and RXVT: # F6 - F12 "\M-[17~" "fg %6\C-M" "\M-[18~" "fg %7\C-M" "\M-[19~" "fg %8\C-M" "\M-[20~" "fg %9\C-M" "\M-[21~" "fg %10\C-M" "\M-[23~" "fg %11\C-M" "\M-[24~" "fg %-\C-M" # Console: "\M-[1~": beginning-of-line # Home "\M-[4~": end-of-line # End # RXVT: "\M-[7~": beginning-of-line # Home "\M-[8~": end-of-line # End # Both Console and RXVT: "\M-[2~": paste-from-clipboard# Insert # "\M-[5~"# Page-Up "\M-[3~": delete-char # Delete # "\M-[6~"# Page-Down -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- The attachment is the same file in Unix EOL format with tabs intact.

login account is "Administrator" not "username"
I am logged in as user "jdoe" and have administrator rights on a WinNT box. I installed the most recent stable cygwin on this box (logged in as user "jdoe"), usable for "all". However, the cygwin shell tells me: ~ $ whoami Administrator and gives me the following environment variable settings: USER=Administrator USERNAME=jdoe and consequently: ~ $ pwd /home/Administrator Obviously cygwin logs me in as "Administrator" instead of "jdoe", even though I logged in as user jdoe under WinNT (USERNAME=jdoe in a DOS box). Is there a way to change/avoid this? I tried installing cygwin as "usable only for me" but it's just the same. I've tried the registry, FAQ and mailing list archives to no avail. A problem arises when I use cvs for example, as it gets my username from the env variable USER and all my files get checked in from user "Administrator" as opposed to "jdoe". I could of course hack around this, but maybe there is a simpler solution?

Re: login account is "Administrator" not "username"
Look at the file /etc/passwd. Is your jdoe username in there? If you are in a windows NT domain, and jdoe is a domain user, you will need to type "mkpasswd -u jdoe >> /etc/passwd" from a bash shell to create an entry for jdoe. Alternately you can use "mkpasswd -d >> /etc/passwd" to populate the passwd file with all domain users.

debugging an rm/sh/make/cygwin corner case
I am hoping some people can give me ideas on how to debug a problem I am having with rm when invoked from cygwin's make.exe, which is using sh as its shell. Basically, when I call "rm -r -f" from a makefile, it gives me errors about "Permission Denied, Directory Not Empty". This is the same error that I get when I try to manually rm a directory when I have a separate shell cd'd there. I think that somehow make or sh are cd'ed into the directory I am trying to rm, so it cannot be removed. I am a newbie at debugging, so I am looking for specific ideas to try to narrow down the problem to one particular thing; i.e. sh, make, rm, or cygwin1.dll. I have tried replacing rm and the cygwin1.dll with different versions, but I get the same error. I also tried replacing sh with bash, same error. I plan on trying different versions of make and sh, but if anyone can suggest what to strace or which files I can plug printfs into, I would really appreciate it.

As already discussed on this list you get strange results when logged in as a Domain user if you keep th enormal /etc/passwd and /etc/group files as created initially by Cygwin. You *must* in this case be sure you have an entry for your user/group in the proper files. For that there is two solutions: 1) You have a relatively small NT Domain (less than a thousand user perhaps) and you can simply do: $ mkpasswd -d -l > /etc/passwd $ mkgroup -d -l > /etc/group This will last for a minute or so (for about 100 entries it takes less than 10 seconds) and you should be up and running. 2) You have a *huge* NT Domain; then just create the entries needed in /etc/passwd (/etc/group should be sufficiently small to be created normally): $ mkgroup -d -l > /etc/group $ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd $ mkpasswd -u jdoe -d >> /etc/passwd > > and consequently: > ~ $ pwd > /home/Administrator > Here you should then get your normal NT home (%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%) > > Obviously cygwin logs me in as "Administrator" instead of "jdoe", even > though I logged in as user jdoe under WinNT > (USERNAME=jdoe in a DOS box). > Is there a way to change/avoid this?

sendmsg problems
So I'm trying to work out a way to have socket passing using DuplicateHandle. Unfortunately I don't think that sendmsg works correctly. I use socketpair to create a pair of connected Unix Domain sockets. Then I fork. Then I create a socket which I want to pass to the child. But when I call sendmsg on the original socketpair thing it returns -1, a Bad Address. I don't set msg_name in the msghdr because the socket is already connected. So I went into the sources and sure enough sendmsg is implemented by calling sendto using the msg_name that's being passed, and since message name is null the call dies. I know that calling sendmsg, on a socketpair after a fork, with no name works on Unix. Is there any way around this?

The first problem has to do with the fact that various structures and functions are not defined in . It is missing (at least) the macros LPSERVICE_FAILURE_ACTIONS and SERVUCE_CONFIG_FAILURE_ACTIONS; and the function prototypes for QueryServiceConfig2() and ChangeServiceConfig2(). It looks as though I can define those in and be done with it. Is there other glue code that needs to go into a DLL somewhere to bridge over to the Windows DLL's? The second problem has to do with portability. Since the service failure actions are new to Win2k's SCM, what is the recommended method for ensuring compatibility within cygrunsrv.exe? Do we need a new cygrunsrv2.exe that implements these new interfaces? Or is there a graceful way to make it so that the same executables and DLL's can be used on NT4 and 2000 with NT4 just returning an error when the functions are called?

RE: login account is "Administrator" not "username"
Thanx for your quick advice (it works). May I suggest an extension (add to FAQ?): change the batch file cygwin.bat as follows: ### snip ### @echo off C: chdir \cygwin bin\grep -q %USERNAME%: etc\passwd IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO setuppass goto start :setuppass bin\mkpasswd -l > etc\passwd bin\mkpasswd -d | grep %USERNAME% >> etc\passwd :start chdir \cygwin\bin bash --login -i ### snap ### This checks if the WinNT domain USERNAME is already in the passwd file. If not, it gets appended. So this works automatically even with a user switching machines (first time login) without the necessity to add all domain users to every machine. Of course in big domains mkpasswd -d causes a delay, but that will only happen once during first-time login. Alternatively, how about an option/script that runs from setup.exe, by default asking to add the current WinNT user to the passwd file? greetings, Michael -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
cron usage...
Hello, Sorry to bother you, but I am trying to get cron to work on my Windows 2000 machine. I installed cron as instructed here: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2001/msg00077.html which was: cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D My $(id) was: uid=500(Administrator) gid=513(None) groups=513(None) If I now go to services, "cron" is listed as a service, but is not running. When I try to start it, I get an error from the Microsoft Management Console: "Could not start the cron service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator." Do you have any suggestions for how to get cron working?

Any chance of upping MAX_DELQUEUES_PENDING?
Why is MAX_DELQUEUES_PENDING set only to 100? Sometimes I want to delete more than 100 files (quite often in fact). Any good reason for this or is it an arbitary limit? If so, could it be upped to something a bit larger please? It seems the current limit of 100 was chosen arbitarily by Geoffrey Noer in 1998. Just out of curiosity, why is there a deletion queue in the first place? Also, Geoffrey mentions that having an array of a fixed size is bad in the FIXME comment at the top of delqueue.cc. Is there any reason this has not been re-implemented as a linked list (for example), yet?

Currently, setting up the limit means increasing the size of cygwin's shared memory region. If you read the reference that Larry provided, you'll see that this queue is only used in specific cases. It isn't used for every deletion.

termcap problem in RXVT?
I have installed CygWin on numerous machines using teh nice setup program at cygwin.com. Recently, however, I have installed CygWin on two machines (one a W2K machine and the other a Win98SE machine) and when I tried to run rxvt I got strange behavior for the prompt. If I bring up a bash shell immediately after installing, then type "rxvt" at the bash prompt, this is what shows up in the rxvt console: --- start --- \[\033]0;\w\007 \033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] $ --- end --- I am at a loss to explain what to do. This has not happened to me in prior cygwin installs. I checked the FAQ and the mailing list archives for March, but could not find any reference to anything new that should have caused this.

Re: termcap problem in RXVT?
Jon, For whatever reason, you've managed to invoke /bin/sh (ash) instead of BASH in the RXVT emulator context. Ash doesn't interpret the escape sequences in the PS1 variable set up by /etc/profile to make the prompt conform to someone's idea of utility and aesthetic merit. I don't know why on this machine you're getting a different shell than on the others, but I'd investigate spurious or extraneous settings of the SHELL environment variable, possibly originating at the Windows system level.

Due to the popularity of this letter on the Internet, a national weekly news program recently devoted an entire show to the investigation of this program described below, to see if it really can make people money. The show also investigated whether or not the program was legal. Their findings proved once and for all that there are ''absolutely NO Laws prohibiting the participation in the program and if people can "follow the simple instruction" they are bound to make some mega bucks with only $25 out of pocket cost''. DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY & RESPECT THIS PROGRAM HAS ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER. This is what one had to say: '' Thanks to this profitable opportunity". I was approached many times before but each time I passed on it. I am so glad I finally joined just to see what one could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required.

I Noticed Your Online Business...
Hello there, If you are like me you are always looking for new and better ways to achieve FINANCIAL FREEDOM. Take a few minutes to check out the business I have found to be the best of them all. A few months back I joined a program and then...promptly forgot about it. You may have done this yourself sometime...you intend to work the program but then get caught in your day-to-day activities and it's soon forgotten. The program was free to join so maybe I just didn't take it very seriously. Anyway, near the end of the month I received a letter from my Team Captain (Tim Meraw) informing me that I had more than 1000 PAID members in my downline! As you can imagine, I was very skeptical. After all, how could I have more than 1000 paid members under me in a program that I had never promoted? I took the time to check out the site...then wrote to Tim asking for confirmation that these were paid members and not just free sign-ups...like me :) Well, it was true...I had 1543 paid members in my downline. This in a program that I had never worked! All I had to do was upgrade to a paid membership before the end of the month and I would have my position locked in and a downline of 1543 people. You can bet I wasted no time in getting my membership upgraded! I can tell you, if I had known what was happening with this program, I would have become an active paid member months ago! With this program, you will get a HUGE downline of PAID MEMBERS . My Team Captain's check, which is a minimum of $750 (and growing monthly), arrives every month...on time. How would you like to lock your position in FREE while you check out this opportunity and watch your downline grow? It's Really Easy: +++ ** To SIGN UP FREE: E-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following ***REQUIRED*** info.. On the Subject Line: PLEASE SEND ME MY FREE MEMBERSHIP In the message body: - Your FIRST and LAST NAME - Another email address if you prefer not to use this one. *** + We will confirm your position +and send you a special report as soon as possible, also Your Free Member Number. This is a ONE TIME mailing - your name is already on our exclude list. I'll get you entered and let you know how you can keep track of your growing downline. That's all there's to it. No obligation. No risk. Do it Now! I'll then send you info, and you can make up your own mind. Warm regards , Don, P.S. After having several negative experiences with network marketing companies I had pretty much given up on them. This company is different--it offers value, integrity, and a REAL opportunity to have your own home-based business... and finally make real money on the 'Net. Their revolutionary Vertical Integration plan is amazing and GUARANTEES that you will have PAID members placed in your downline. Don't pass this up..you can sign up and test-drive the program for FREE. Just join Post launch now for FREE. Nothing more to it. You have nothing to lose and potentially a LOT to gain. = DISCLAIMER== THIS IS NOT SPAM, YOU ARE RECEIVING THIS INFORMATION BECAUSE : A) You submitted a classified ad or link at one of my pages or you posted your e-mail address in a public domain.

Re: Start up script
I meant that there was no need for "function" in both of the examples given
by the previous poster. Yes, of course "function" has more functionality
than "alias", but here, it's an overkill.
Consider
alias l='ls'
vs
function l() { /bin/ls $@; }

segmentation fault on the simplest bit of code that uses cin or ifstream or
stringstream. ( cout etc. works fine by the way).
I'll repeat the code snippet for clarification:
main()
{
std::string frog;
std::cin >> frog;
assert( 0 );
}
(it doesn't get to the assert and segment faults)
Any other ideas? :-/

Hi all! When I try "man read" or "man diff" I am told by Cygwin "No manual entry for read" or "No manual entry for diff".

Re: RE: input stream crash with gcc 3.1
Hmm.. I noticed some talk on a mailing list somewhere about problems with
locales... could it be to do with input streams trying to look up locale
info and getting null ptrs as a result?
I'll try compiling libstdc++-v3 with -g and -O0 and see how far I can get -
does gdb 5.1 work ok with gcc 3.1 output?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Setup.exe update
Hi folk, A new release of setup.exe has been made. As usual it's accessible at http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe. It includes the following key new features: * New GUI that should be less prone to 'disappearing'. * Can download from multiple mirrors - use CTRL-Click or Shift-Click in the mirror site dialog. * Updated chooser that allows full installs with ease, as well as source only installs of packages. as well as numerous bug-fixes and under-the-hood improvements. Thanks go out to all the contributors to this version, which includes (In reverse date order): Me! Michael Chase Jason Tishler Christopher Faylor Corinna Vinschen Gary R. Van Sickle Jan Nieuwenhuizen ... sorry if I've missed anyone Cheers, Rob -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: Not all mans available
I once asked along same lines and I was told that originally in GNU info was going to be the replacement to man system... Why I am not sure but that must have not worked out really well since half the stuff info digs up seems to be manpages but without the eyecandy (highlighting and underline). Even when at the bottom of the manpage it says, see info for complete documentation, info still digs up same old manpage. The hypertext abilities are nice to have of course, if there is a lot of cross-references and see-also's. More directly to your query, I don't think there are any spare manpages or info files anywhere. There is also documentation in /usr/doc but you will not find diff there. Documentation to diff is in info format but I was unable to get to it through the top menu of info. 'info diff' doesn't work either, info --file=diff works. I think I am missing out on something very basic here because this doesn't seem very natural to me (after 'man', I guess). As for 'read' thats a bash inbuilt command and it is part of the bash manpage or info page. Here info vindicates itself, navigating to the right section is much easier through hyperlinks than linear text of manpage. - Original Message - From: "Robert Mark Bram" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Cygwin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 3:35 PM Subject: Not all mans available > Hi all! > > When I try "man read" or "man diff" I am told by Cygwin "No manual entry for > read" or "No manual entry for diff". > > Was there a setup option with Cygwin I didn't include in order to get all > the manuals? > > Is there a way for to download them? > > Thanks! > > Rob > > :) > :-} > ;-> > > > -- > Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple > Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html > Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html > FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ > -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

OT: possible project/research project
Just a curiousity...
I've a mental concept I've been batting around for a while - about how can we
drastically increase configure and related script performance on cygwin...
AFAICT the largest performance issue is fork() and exec(). File access is quite fast,
as is networking. Unix sockets are a go slow given Ralf's testing :p but that's about
it.
So, what I'm thinking could be done is:
Create a new shell. For the most common current causes of fork()/exec(), make those
commands internal. Specifically, make all expression evaluation (such as `basename
foo`) done in-process (i.e. C-style code:{save_context();evalute
(expression);pop_context(result);}, only spawning commands where they are not
internal. (Currently, AFAIK, ash and bash use sub-shells quite commonly).
Now that would be a maintenance and coding nightmare - repeating lots of other folk's
work, and having to get bug compatability as well no thanks.
What if, instead of rewriting all those helper commands, we
*) Make each one into a library - ie cygshellbasename0.dll. - with a well-defined
interface (say execute (int argc, char **argv), AND no ABI changes!
*) Replace the current binary with a façade that uses the .dll.
*) in the shell, look for the library *before* calling the binary, thus saving a
spawn()
*) Ideally, adapt an existing shell rather than starting new (I'm not a
reinvent-ze-wheel) kinda guy.
Now I imagine that if done _properly_ the upstream authors won't object too much to
librarization, so the amount of code to be written is significantly shrunk.
I've not seen a specific project to accomplish this (in google/freshmeat/sourceforge)
- but I figure that cygwin is _such_ a prime platform for it that if one exists, and
I'd be repeating work, I'll find someone who knows it here
Anyway, this is (obviously) a long-term proposition, but if two or three folk from
here would be interested in collaborating on such a project...
Cheers,
Rob

CYGWIN variable: impact of options under Win9x
Hello, I am hoping that I'll get some helpful hints by posting this. I've been running Cygwin under Win98SE for months now without the CYGWIN env variable set in Windows at all. I have FAT and FAT32 partitions. My mounts are all binmode. Now I am looking at setting CYGWIN thus: SET CYGWIN=export noenvcache glob:ignorecase title nostrip_title winsymlinks tty What sort of surprises or changes in behavior (that I might not have realized were changeable behavior, i.e. things that I'd not taken heed of until now) might I experience? Since this is the Cygwin List rather than another and its character is what it is, I'll type out explicitly that: I am posting this because I have a feeling of less than perfect comprehension of the uses and ramifications of the parameters to CYGWIN, even after reading http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html. I am particularly keen on knowing what might not work in just the same way as before (under a default condition on Win98SE, that is in which there is no setting for CYGWIN at all) due to the last parameter "tty". The document at the url given above indicates that "[it is] not compatible with some Windows applications." I find that quite vague and am most unsure how concerned to be about it. I am also keen on assuring myself that not mentioning "ntea" or "ntsec" is fine; that those options would do nothing under Win98 anyway, and that Cygwin applications will run fine with them not set (i.e., *sshd*)??
