minix/lib/utils/kputc.c
Ben Gras 42050e39f8 kernel and servers send diagnostic messages to IS; IS sends them to TTY
and the new log driver if enabled.

new usyslogd is started from /usr/etc/rc. New device created by
MAKEDEV.sh. /var/log created by etc/mtree/minix.tree (on root for
now). Made select() slightly more generic, with less code duplication.

/* A server must occasionally print some message. It uses a simple version of
* printf() found in the system lib that calls kputc() to output characters.
* Printing is done with a call to the kernel, and not by going through FS.
* This way system messages end up in the kernel messages buffer and can be
* reviewed at a later time.
*
* This routine can only be used by servers and device drivers. The kernel
* must define its own kputc(). Note that the IS also defines its own kputc()
* to directly call the TTY instead of the kernel, because it does not want
* to pollute the kernel message buffer with its debug dumps.
