gutteridge | apropos(1): improve error handling in edge cases
Patch from RVP on NetBSD-Users, with an additional comment tweak by me.
Summary from RVP:
1. Ignore SIGPIPE so that we're not killed in the middle of some
DB operation by a botched $PAGER:
$ env PAGER=/non-existent apropos -p ...
2. Return proper exit status in case of write errors:
$ apropos ... >/dev/full || echo fail

abhinav | PR bin/54343: We want the callback_args.machine to be NULL if it is not present in the DB.
The previous commit fixed the problem of allowing apropos to not crash and
produce output even if the database is missing values for certain mandatory
fields, such as name, section etc. Normally we don't expect those values
to be missing in the database but in case of parsing errors it can happen.
However, the machine architecture is an optional field since not all man pages
are hardware specific so that should be allowed to be set to NULL if not
present in the database.

abhinav | PR misc/54213: Fix performance of whatis(1) when no matches are found
In revision 1.6 of whatis.c the query was modified to return matches for names found
in MLINKS of the man pages as well. However it was slow. The reason probably being that it
required a join. But more importantly the where condition on an FTS virtual table column
is very slow. To avoid the join and the expensive where condition on the virtual table,
add the name_desc column to the mandb_links table as well. This improves the performance
of whatis(1) to the original level at the expense of slight data duplication.
Bump the schema to force database rebuild to take account for the new column addition

abhinav | Memory allocated by sqlite3_mprintf should be free'd by sqlite3_free
This was causing memory corruption thus making apropos(1) fail in some cases.
Specifically following options were broken and should be fixed with this commit:
-n option was causing a core dump
apropos was giving warning when using -l and any of the section numbers as options
as reported by paulg on current-users.

Encapsulate all the arguments required by the query callback function in a struct.
If we want to add or remove arguments from the callback functions, it requires
changing the callback interface all over the place. By letting the callback simply
expect a single struct argument, it would clean things up a bit.

abhinav | Don't use the custom tokenizer when compiled with debugging on
Using the custom tokenizer means one cannot interactively query the database
through the SQLite shell, thus thwarting the purpose of the debug build option.
Thanks to leot@ for reporting it.
(While there change the debug macro from DEBUG to APROPOS_DEBUG)
|

| 18-Jun-2017 |
abhinav | Add a custom tokenizer which does not stem certain keywords.
Which keywords should not be stemmed is specified in the nostem.txt file.
(Right now I have taken all the man page names, split them if they had
underscores, removed common English words and converted everything to
lowercase.)
The tokenizer itself is based on the Porter stemming tokenizer shipped with
Sqlite. The code in custom_apropos_tokenizer.c is copy of that code with
some modifications to prevent stemming keywords specified in nostem.txt.
Additionally, it now uses underscore `_' also as a token delimiter. Therefore,
now it's possible to do query for `lwp' and all `_lwp_*' man page names
will be matched. Or the query can be `unconst' and `__UNCONST' will be matched.
This was not possible earlier, because underscore was not a delimiter and therefore
the index would have __UNCONST as a key rather than UNCONST.
The tokenizer needs fts3_tokenizer.h file, which is not shipped with the
amalgamation build of Sqlite, therefore it needs to be added here (unless
we decide there is a better place for it).
To enforce using the new tokenizer, a schema version bump is needed
Since the tokenization is done both at the indexing time (via makemandb) and
also while query time (via apropos or whatis), it will be needed to bump
the schema version everytime nostem.txt is modified. Otherwise the
index will consist of old tokens and desired changes will not be seen with
apropos.
This should also fix the issue reported in PR bin/46255. Similar suggestion was
also made on tech-userlevel@ recently:
<http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2017/06/08/msg010620.html>
Thanks to christos@ for multiple rounds of reviews of the tokenizer code.

abhinav | Simplify handling of the section arguments in apropos(1).
Earlier, a white space separated string was generated containing all the section
numbers passed through command line arguments. Later on that would have to be
tokenized and processed. Instead of that, use a NULL terminated array of strings.
Thanks to christos@ for reviewing and suggesting further improvements.

Better handle MLINKS in apropos(1).
apropos(1) only indexes the first .Nm entry from the NAME section in the full
text index. Rest of the .Nm entries are stored in a separate table: mandb_links.
Till now apropos(1) did not use the mandb_links table. So whenever a query
was being made for one of the man page links, such as realloc(3), it was showing
malloc(3) in the results but not as the first result. And, also the result would
show up as malloc(3), rather than realloc(3) (which can be confusing).
With this change, for single keyword queries, apropos(1) would now utilise the
mandb_links table as well. If the query is for one of the links of a man page,
it would show as the first result. Also, the result would show up as the name
of the link rather than the original man page name. For example, if the query
was for realloc, the output would be realloc(3), rather than malloc(3).
Following are some example queries showing difference in the output before this
change and after this change:
#Before changes
$ apropos -n 5 -M realloc
reallocarr (3) reallocate array
reallocarray (3) reallocate memory for an array of elements checking
