RevisionDateAuthorComments
 1.17  10-Sep-2017  wiz Fix typo.
 1.16  10-Sep-2017  wiz Sort sections. Make error descriptions complete sentences.
 1.15  10-Sep-2017  kre Fix a typo, and some wording improvements.
 1.14  09-Sep-2017  kamil Remove the BUGS section from devname(3)

devname(3) does not report type of error on purpose.

Suggested by <kre>
 1.13  09-Sep-2017  kamil Document devname_r(3) in devname(3).

Improve clarity of devname(3) mentioning that it returns a pointer to the
buffer pointer. This approach is not thread-safe and not reentrant.

Not that devname(3) does not set errno on failure and document it as a bug.
 1.12  03-Jun-2012  joerg Switch device database to cdb(5). Rework ttyname(3) and ttyname_r(3) to
depend on new devname_r(3) as heart. Add /dev/pts magic directly to
devname(3). While it can lead to returning non-existing paths, the
behavior is more consistent that way. Drop caching layer in devname(3),
it doesn't buy anything for the common case of having access to the
database. Teach devname(3) proper fallback behavior of scanning /dev.
Create both old-style and new-style database for now in /etc/rc.d/sysdb.
 1.11  07-Aug-2003  agc branches: 1.11.56; 1.11.58;
Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22280, verified by myself.
 1.10  16-Apr-2003  wiz Use
.In header.h
instead of
.Fd #include \*[Lt]header.h\*[Gt]
Much easier to read and write, and supported by groff for ages.
Okayed by ross.
 1.9  01-Oct-2002  wiz \-1 and .Dv NULL.
 1.8  07-Feb-2002  ross Generate <>& symbolically.
 1.7  05-Jun-2000  simonb branches: 1.7.4;
Add a cache ala pwcache(3). Gives a small but measurable performance
improvement for callers to devname(3) (eg ps(1)) under most circumstances.
 1.6  22-Mar-1999  garbled branches: 1.6.8;
Last of the .Os cleanups. .Os is defined in the tmac.doc-common file,
so we shouldn't override it with versions in the manpages. Wheee!
 1.5  05-Feb-1998  perry add LIBRARY section to man page
 1.4  02-Feb-1998  perry merge/update to lite-2
 1.3  23-Dec-1997  hubertf sys/stat.h needed for S_IFBLK/S_IFCHR.
 1.2  27-Feb-1995  cgd merge with Lite, keeping local changes. Also use new Id format.
 1.1  06-May-1994  cgd branches: 1.1.1;

 1.1.1.2  02-Feb-1998  perry import lite-2
 1.1.1.1  06-May-1994  cgd devname() routine

Prefer __printflike.
Use queue(3)
Replace linear lookup with hash table, reducing runtime by 60%.
Use e* from util.h.
One more strdup -> estrdup.
Maintain nalias and nterm on the fly.
Add void for ttyslot prototype.
Use memcmp in place of strncmp, since length is known to no longer than
either of the arguments.
Fix a number of memory leaks. Keep final loop of the cleanup in tic(1)
under #ifdef __VALGRIND__ though.
Add __predict_true / __predict_false definitions.
Add a special seeder for cdbw_output that gives stable results.
Hook up cdbw(3) for the tool build.
Prototype for cdbw_stable_seeder.
Provide a usable thr_once for !_REENTRANT
Switch device database to cdb(5). Rework ttyname(3) and ttyname_r(3) to
depend on new devname_r(3) as heart. Add /dev/pts magic directly to
devname(3). While it can lead to returning non-existing paths, the
behavior is more consistent that way. Drop caching layer in devname(3),
it doesn't buy anything for the common case of having access to the
database. Teach devname(3) proper fallback behavior of scanning /dev.
Create both old-style and new-style database for now in /etc/rc.d/sysdb.
Switch terminfo(3) to cdb(5).
Fix typos.
Make Alan Barrett happy and add ().
Add cdbr(3) support to tools/compat.
Bump date for previous.
Relax consistency to make it possible to match valid entries.
Prefix devname's buffer with /dev/ as ttyname is supposed to return the
full path. Reported by Dave Huang.
