tr.1 -s wording

2016-04-18 Thread Christian Heckendorf
Hi, After reading the man page description of tr -s, I couldn't understand what it meant to "squeeze" characters. It could be that 'squeeze' is a mnemonic for '-s' but it's not helpful as a technical explanation. -- Christian Index: tr.1

Aq macro replacements

2016-03-27 Thread Christian Heckendorf
Hi, There was some discussion last year[1] regarding abuse of Aq macros in mdoc where plain characters or other macros (eg, "In") would be more appropriate. Here are some additional places where I believe replacing Aq would make sense. Notes: - spamd-setup(8) is referring to pf tables.

sftp globbing remote pwd

2015-12-27 Thread Christian Heckendorf
Several sftp(1) commands will fail if the remote pwd contains glob(3) meta characters. This is due to glob being called on the concatenated pwd and command argument in order to generate a file list to operate on. However, the pwd is not escaped before calling glob, so glob will offer no useful

utf8 input in el_gets(3)

2015-12-24 Thread Christian Heckendorf
A couple of somewhat recent changes in NetBSD's libedit permit el_gets(3) to accept multibyte characters if the locale supports it. A notable user of this function is sftp(1) which will allow users to input multibyte characters, in filenames for example, once the diff is applied. -- Christian

3rd party Xbox 360 USB controller support

2015-12-05 Thread Christian Heckendorf
The previous thread[1] discussing these controllers includes two patches but they seem to have been merged for the commit in a way that limits support to only Microsoft controllers. 3rd party Xbox 360 controllers have their own vendor and product IDs but use the same subclass and protocol as the
