fetch(1) and realms with whitespace...

1999-07-01 Thread Dominic Mitchell
Is there any way to specify a realm with whitespace to fetch? I've just had a fun time trying to do: % export HTTP_AUTH="basic:SunSolve Online:x:y" % fetch -v http://online.sunsolve.sun.co.uk/whatever senddoc: cannot authenticate with server Looking at the code it appears that there isn't a way

The Rfork man page says: RFMEM If set, the kernel will force sharing of the entire ad- dress space. The child will then inherit all the shared segments the parent process owns. Other segment types will be unaffected. Subsequent forks by the parent wi

Yes, you are absolutely right. It should also say: rfork() cannot be directly called from C when used with RFMEM, because C cannot deal with the fact that both processes return to the same stack. ( As an aside, we really need a linunx clone()-like system call so we ca
