Hi all,
I've taken a look around for an implementation of atomic bit operations in
FreeBSD (similar to Linux' asm/bitopt.h, which include clear_bit() and
test_and_set_bit()) but haven't found any. The only thing I've found are
the atomic clear/set/add/sub routines in machine/atomic.h.

It all depends on your focus.

Hi all,
This weekend I decided to do some assembly hacking on some object-only code
that I've lost the C source for. Since I haven't coded assembler for at
least 8 years, and I threw my x86 assembly manuals out when I moved 6 months
ago, there are a few things that are stumping me.

I've been using DDB the last few days attempting to track down a supposed
bug in our TCP/IP stack. (See PR/31746). From what I've been able to tell
so far (using the ugly insert-printf-here mechanism of debugging), a
structure is getting zeroed which is causing the problem reported in the PR.

Folks,
I very interesting project just landed in my lap -- I need to setup a

Nullsoft's Shoutcast.
I have some experience with streaming media, so I know how to size the
network side of the equation, but what I'm really at a l
I believe it's because the boot loader goes by partition type. All
Microsoft operating systems can use FAT (either FAT16, FAT32 or both). The
boot loader can't tell what operating system you've got installed on your
FAT partition, so it goes with the lowest common denominator - DOS.

This is a RFC on a change to sys_errlist for errno = 0.
On Linux, if perror() or strerror() is called with errno = 0, the resulting
string is "Success".
On FreeBSD, the resulting string is "Unknown error: 0".
I think that FreeBSD's output is unintentionally confusing, as errno = 0
implies success

No, none of these methods will work.
This very discussion came up in -questions a few months ago (or maybe it was
late last year). The conclusion was that unless someone rewrites the
/etc/fstab parsing routines in libc to support quoted and/or escaped spaces,

I did some more digging and it appears the bigger problem is that the
RTL8201 external PHY isn't supported (yet) in FreeBSD. Patches to support
this PHY, along with reports of successful testing in numerous
configurations, are reported in PR kern/30836 (and kern/35691).

(http://www.debian.org/Packages/stable/otherosfs/ibcs-base.html), it has SCO

multiple ELF formats use the same brand, or none at all (as is the case with

(with extension for symbolic links and a few other goodies.)
SCO documentation backs up the SVR3 lineage
