- Fix for possible unset uid/gid in toproto
- Fix for default mtree style
- Update libelf
- Importing libexecinfo
- Resynchronize GCC, mpc, gmp, mpfr
- build.sh: Replace params with show-params.
This has been done as the make target has been renamed in the same
way, while a new target named params has been added. This new
target generates a file containing all the parameters, instead of
printing it on the console.
- Update test48 with new etc/services (Fix by Ben Gras <ben@minix3.org)
get getservbyport() out of the inner loop

|
|
.Fn parsedate
|
|
returns the number of seconds passed since the Epoch, or
|
|
.Dv \-1
|
|
if the date could not be parsed properly.
|
|
A non-error result of
|
|
.Dv \-1
|
|
can be distinguished from an error by setting
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to
|
|
.Dv 0
|
|
before calling
|
|
.Fn parsedate ,
|
|
and checking the value of
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
afterwards.
