Ben Gras 2fe8fb192f Full switch to clang/ELF. Drop ack. Simplify.
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

.Dt GETPEERNAME 2
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm getpeername
.Nd get name of connected peer
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/socket.h
.Ft int
.Fn getpeername "int s" "struct sockaddr * restrict name" "socklen_t * restrict namelen"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn getpeername
returns the name of the peer connected to
socket
.Fa s .
One common use occurs when a process inherits an open socket, such as
TCP servers forked from
.Xr inetd 8 .
In this scenario,
.Fn getpeername
is used to determine the connecting client's IP address.
.Pp
.Fn getpeername
takes three parameters:
.Pp
.Fa s
contains the file descriptor of the socket whose peer should be looked up.
.Pp
.Fa name
points to a
.Li sockaddr
structure that will hold the address information for the connected peer.
Normal use requires one to use a structure
specific to the protocol family in use, such as
.Li sockaddr_in
(IPv4) or
.Li sockaddr_in6
(IPv6), cast to a (struct sockaddr *).
.Pp
For greater portability, especially with the newer protocol families, the new
.Li struct sockaddr_storage
should be used.
.Li sockaddr_storage
is large enough to hold any of the other sockaddr_* variants.
On return, it can be cast to the correct sockaddr type,
based on the protocol family contained in its ss_family field.
.Pp
.Fa namelen
indicates the amount of space pointed to by
.Fa name ,
in bytes.
.Pp
If address information for the local end of the socket is required, the
.Xr getsockname 2
function should be used instead.
.Pp
If
.Fa name
does not point to enough space to hold the entire socket address, the
result will be truncated to
.Fa namelen
bytes.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If the call succeeds, a 0 is returned and
.Fa namelen
is set to the actual size of the socket address returned in
.Fa name .
Otherwise,
.Va errno
is set and a value of \-1 is returned.
.Sh ERRORS
The call succeeds unless:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EBADF
The argument
.Fa s
is not a valid descriptor.
.It Bq Er ENOTSOCK
The argument
.Fa s
is a file, not a socket.
.It Bq Er ENOTCONN
The socket is not connected.
.It Bq Er ENOBUFS
Insufficient resources were available in the system
to perform the operation.
.It Bq Er EFAULT
The
.Fa name
parameter points to memory not in a valid part of the
process address space.
