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

.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn getfsent ,
.Fn getfsspec ,
and
.Fn getfsfile
functions
each return a pointer to an object with the following structure
containing the broken-out fields of a line in the file system
description file,
.In fstab.h .
.Bd -literal -offset indent
struct fstab {
char *fs_spec; /* block special device name */
char *fs_file; /* file system path prefix */
char *fs_vfstype; /* type of file system */
char *fs_mntops; /* comma separated mount options */
char *fs_type; /* rw, ro, sw, or xx */
int fs_freq; /* dump frequency, in days */
int fs_passno; /* pass number on parallel dump */
};
.Ed
.Pp
The fields have meanings described in
.Xr fstab 5 .
.Pp
The
.Fn setfsent
function
opens the file (closing any previously opened file) or rewinds it
if it is already open.
.Pp
The
.Fn endfsent
function
closes the file.
.Pp
The
.Fn getfsspec
and
.Fn getfsfile
functions
search the entire file (opening it if necessary) for a matching special
file name or file system file name.
.Pp
For programs wishing to read the entire database,
.Fn getfsent
reads the next entry (opening the file if necessary).
.Pp
All entries in the file with a type field equivalent to
.Dv FSTAB_XX
are ignored.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn getfsent ,
.Fn getfsspec ,
and
.Fn getfsfile
functions
return a null pointer (0) on
.Dv EOF
or error.
The
.Fn setfsent
function
returns 0 on failure, 1 on success.
The
.Fn endfsent
function
returns nothing.

The
.Fn getfsent
function appeared in

.Sh BUGS
These functions use static data storage;
if the data is needed for future use, it should be
copied before any subsequent calls overwrite it.
