There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In libgen.h
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn dirname "char *path"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dirname
|
|
function takes a pointer to a character string that contains a pathname,
|
|
.Ar path ,
|
|
and returns a pointer to a string that is a pathname of the parent directory of
|
|
.Ar path .
|
|
Trailing
|
|
.Sq /
|
|
characters in
|
|
.Ar path
|
|
are not counted as part of the path.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar path
|
|
does not contain a
|
|
.Sq / ,
|
|
then
|
|
.Fn dirname
|
|
returns a pointer to the string
|
|
.Dq \&. .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar path
|
|
is a null pointer or points to an empty string,
|
|
.Fn dirname
|
|
returns a pointer to the string
|
|
.Dq \&. .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dirname
|
|
function returns a pointer to a string that is the parent directory of
|

|
|
If the length of the result is longer than
|
|
.Dv PATH_MAX
|
|
bytes
|
|
.Pq including the terminating nul ,
|
|
the result will be truncated.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dirname
|
|
function returns a pointer to static storage that may be overwritten
|
|
by subsequent calls to
|
|
.Fn dirname .
|
|
This is not strictly a bug; it is explicitly allowed by
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001 .
