These functions are often used within signal handlers, to produce diagnostic output. This option group includes the following functions: backtrace backtrace_symbols backtrace_symbols_fd config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_BSD bool "BSD-specific functions, and their compatibility stubs" default y help This option group includes functions specific to BSD kernels. A number of these functions have stub versions that are also included in libraries built for non-BSD systems for compatibility. This option group includes the following functions: chflags fchflags lchmod revoke setlogin config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_CXX_TESTS bool "Tests that link against the standard C++ library." default y depends EGLIBC_OPTION_POSIX_WIDE_CHAR_DEVICE_IO depends EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_LIBM help This option group does not include any C library functions; instead, it controls which EGLIBC tests an ordinary 'make tests' runs. With this group disabled, tests that would normally link against the standard C++ library are not run. The standard C++ library depends on the math library 'libm' and the wide character I/O functions included in EGLIBC. If those option groups are disabled, this test must also be disabled. config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_CATGETS bool "Functions for accessing message catalogs" default y depends EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE help This option group includes functions for accessing message catalogs: catopen, catclose, and catgets. This option group depends on the EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE option group; if you disable that, you must also disable this. config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_CHARSETS bool "iconv/gconv character set conversion libraries" default y help This option group includes support for character sets other than ASCII (ANSI_X3.4-1968) and Unicode and ISO-10646 in their various encodings. This affects both the character sets supported by the wide and multibyte character functions, and those supported by the 'iconv' functions. With this option group disabled, EGLIBC supports only the following character sets: ANSI_X3.4 - ASCII ANSI_X3.4-1968 ANSI_X3.4-1986 ASCII CP367 CSASCII IBM367 ISO-IR-6 ISO646-US ISO_646.IRV:1991 OSF00010020 US US-ASCII 10646-1:1993 - ISO 10646, in big-endian UCS4 form 10646-1:1993/UCS4 CSUCS4 ISO-10646 ISO-10646/UCS4 OSF00010104 OSF00010105 OSF00010106 UCS-4 UCS-4BE UCS4 UCS-4LE - ISO 10646, in little-endian UCS4 form ISO-10646/UTF-8 - ISO 10646, in UTF-8 form ISO-10646/UTF8 ISO-IR-193 OSF05010001 UTF-8 UTF8 ISO-10646/UCS2 - ISO 10646, in target-endian UCS2 form OSF00010100 OSF00010101 OSF00010102 UCS-2 UCS2 UCS-2BE - ISO 10646, in big-endian UCS2 form UNICODEBIG UCS-2LE - ISO 10646, in little-endian UCS2 form UNICODELITTLE WCHAR_T - EGLIBC's internal form (target-endian, 32-bit ISO 10646) config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_DB_ALIASES bool "Functions for accessing the mail aliases database" default y help This option group includes functions for looking up mail aliases in '/etc/aliases' or using nsswitch. It includes the following functions: endaliasent getaliasbyname getaliasbyname_r getaliasent getaliasent_r setaliasent When this option group is disabled, the NSS service libraries also lack support for querying their mail alias tables. config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_ENVZ bool "Functions for handling envz-style environment vectors." default y help This option group contains functions for creating and operating on envz vectors. An "envz vector" is a vector of strings in a contiguous block of memory, where each element is a name-value pair, and elements are separated from their neighbors by null characters. This option group includes the following functions: envz_add envz_merge envz_entry envz_remove envz_get envz_strip config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_FSTAB bool "Access functions for 'fstab'" default y help This option group includes functions for reading the mount point specification table, '/etc/fstab'. These functions are not included in the POSIX standard, which provides the 'getmntent' family of functions instead. This option group includes the following functions: endfsent getfsspec getfsent setfsent getfsfile config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_GETLOGIN bool "The getlogin function" default y depends EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_UTMP help This function group includes the 'getlogin' and 'getlogin_r' functions, which return the user name associated by the login activity with the current process's controlling terminal. With this option group disabled, the 'glob' function will not fall back on 'getlogin' to find the user's login name for tilde expansion when the 'HOME' environment variable is not set. config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_INET bool "Networking support" default y help This option group includes networking-specific functions and data. With EGLIBC_INET disabled, the EGLIBC installation and API changes as follows: - The following libraries are not installed: libanl libnsl libnss_compat libnss_dns libnss_hesiod libnss_nis libnss_nisplus libresolv - The following functions and variables are omitted from libc: authdes_create hstrerror svc_fdset authdes_getucred htonl svc_getreq authdes_pk_create htons svc_getreq_common authnone_create if_freenameindex svc_getreq_poll authunix_create if_indextoname svc_getreqset authunix_create_default if_nameindex svc_max_pollfd bindresvport if_nametoindex svc_pollfd callrpc in6addr_any svcraw_create cbc_crypt in6addr_loopback svc_register clnt_broadcast inet6_opt_append svc_run clnt_create inet6_opt_find svc_sendreply clnt_pcreateerror inet6_opt_finish svctcp_create clnt_perrno inet6_opt_get_val svcudp_bufcreate clnt_perror inet6_opt_init svcudp_create clntraw_create inet6_alloc svcudp_enablecache clnt_spcreateerror inet6_append svcunix_create clnt_sperrno inet6_find svcunixfd_create clnt_sperror inet6_init svc_unregister clnttcp_create inet6_next user2netname clntudp_bufcreate inet6_space xdecrypt clntudp_create inet6_opt_next xdr_accepted_reply clntunix_create inet6_opt_set_val xdr_array des_setparity inet6_rth_add xdr_authdes_cred ecb_crypt inet6_rth_getaddr xdr_authdes_verf endaliasent inet6_rth_init xdr_authunix_parms endhostent inet6_rth_reverse xdr_bool endnetent inet6_rth_segments xdr_bytes endnetgrent inet6_rth_space xdr_callhdr endprotoent inet_addr xdr_callmsg endrpcent inet_aton xdr_char endservent inet_lnaof xdr_cryptkeyarg ether_aton inet_makeaddr xdr_cryptkeyarg2 ether_aton_r inet_netof xdr_cryptkeyres ether_hostton inet_network xdr_des_block ether_line inet_nsap_addr xdr_double ether_ntoa inet_nsap_ntoa xdr_enum ether_ntoa_r inet_ntoa xdr_float ether_ntohost inet_ntop xdr_free freeaddrinfo inet_pton xdr_getcredres freeifaddrs innetgr xdr_hyper gai_strerror iruserok xdr_int getaddrinfo iruserok_af xdr_int16_t getaliasbyname key_decryptsession xdr_int32_t getaliasbyname_r key_decryptsession_pk xdr_int64_t getaliasent key_encryptsession xdr_int8_t getaliasent_r key_encryptsession_pk xdr_keybuf gethostbyaddr key_gendes xdr_key_netstarg gethostbyaddr_r key_get_conv xdr_key_netstres gethostbyname key_secretkey_is_set xdr_keystatus gethostbyname2 key_setnet xdr_long gethostbyname2_r key_setsecret xdr_longlong_t gethostbyname_r netname2host xdrmem_create gethostent netname2user xdr_netnamestr gethostent_r ntohl xdr_netobj getifaddrs ntohs xdr_opaque getipv4sourcefilter passwd2des xdr_opaque_auth get_myaddress pmap_getmaps xdr_pmap getnameinfo pmap_getport xdr_pmaplist getnetbyaddr pmap_rmtcall xdr_pointer getnetbyaddr_r pmap_set xdr_quad_t getnetbyname pmap_unset xdrrec_create getnetbyname_r rcmd xdrrec_endofrecord getnetent rcmd_af xdrrec_eof getnetent_r registerrpc xdrrec_skiprecord getnetgrent res_init xdr_reference getnetgrent_r rexec xdr_rejected_reply getnetname rexec_af xdr_replymsg getprotobyname rexecoptions xdr_rmtcall_args getprotobyname_r rpc_createerr xdr_rmtcallres getprotobynumber rresvport xdr_short getprotobynumber_r rresvport_af xdr_sizeof getprotoent rtime xdrstdio_create getprotoent_r ruserok xdr_string getpublickey ruserok_af xdr_u_char getrpcbyname ruserpass xdr_u_hyper getrpcbyname_r setaliasent xdr_u_int getrpcbynumber sethostent xdr_uint16_t getrpcbynumber_r setipv4sourcefilter xdr_uint32_t getrpcent setnetent xdr_uint64_t getrpcent_r setnetgrent xdr_uint8_t getrpcport setprotoent xdr_u_long getsecretkey setrpcent xdr_u_longlong_t getservbyname setservent xdr_union getservbyname_r setsourcefilter xdr_unixcred getservbyport svcauthdes_stats xdr_u_quad_t getservbyport_r svcerr_auth xdr_u_short getservent svcerr_decode xdr_vector getservent_r svcerr_noproc xdr_void getsourcefilter svcerr_noprog xdr_wrapstring h_errlist svcerr_progvers xencrypt h_errno svcerr_systemerr xprt_register herror svcerr_weakauth xprt_unregister h_nerr svc_exit host2netname svcfd_create - The rpcgen, nscd, and rpcinfo commands are not installed. - The 'rpc' file (a text file listing RPC services) is not installed. Socket-related system calls do not fall in this option group, because many are also used for other inter-process communication mechanisms. For example, the 'syslog' routines use Unix-domain sockets to communicate with the syslog daemon; syslog is valuable in non-networked contexts. config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_LIBM bool "libm (math library)" default y help This option group includes the 'libm' library, containing mathematical functions. If this option group is omitted, then an EGLIBC installation does not include shared or unshared versions of the math library. Note that this does not remove all floating-point related functionality from EGLIBC; for example, 'printf' and 'scanf' can still print and read floating-point values with this option group disabled. Note that the ISO Standard C++ library 'libstdc++' depends on EGLIBC's math library 'libm'. If you disable this option group, you will not be able to build 'libstdc++' against the resulting EGLIBC installation. config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_LOCALES bool "Locale definitions" default y help This option group includes all locale definitions other than that for the "C" locale. If this option group is omitted, then only the "C" locale is supported. config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE bool "Locale functions" default y depends EGLIBC_OPTION_POSIX_C_LANG_WIDE_CHAR help This option group includes locale support functions, programs, and libraries. With EGLIBC_LOCALE_FUNCTIONS disabled, EGLIBC supports only the 'C' locale (also known as 'POSIX'), and ignores the settings of the 'LANG' and 'LC_*' environment variables. With EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE disabled, the following functions are omitted from libc: duplocale localeconv nl_langinfo rpmatch strfmon_l freelocale newlocale nl_langinfo_l strfmon uselocale Furthermore, only the LC_CTYPE and LC_TIME categories of the standard "C" locale are available. The EGLIBC_CATGETS option group depends on this option group; if you disable EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE, you must also disable EGLIBC_CATGETS. config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_NIS bool "Support for NIS, NIS+, and the special 'compat' services." default y depends EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_INET depends EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_SUNRPC help This option group includes the NIS, NIS+, and 'compat' Name Service Switch service libraries. When it is disabled, those services libraries are not installed; you should remove any references to them from your 'nsswitch.conf' file. This option group depends on the EGLIBC_INET option group; you must enable that to enable this option group. config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_NSSWITCH bool "Name service switch (nsswitch) support" default y help This option group includes support for the 'nsswitch' facility. With this option group enabled, all EGLIBC functions for accessing various system databases (passwords and groups; networking; aliases; public keys; and so on) consult the '/etc/nsswitch.conf' configuration file to decide how to handle queries. With this option group disabled, EGLIBC uses a fixed list of services to satisfy queries on each database, as requested by configuration files specified when EGLIBC is built. Your 'option-groups.config' file must set the following two variables: EGLIBC_NSSWITCH_FIXED_CONFIG Set this to the name of a file whose contents observe the same syntax as an ordinary '/etc/nsswitch.conf' file. The EGLIBC build process parses this file just as EGLIBC would at run time if EGLIBC_NSSWITCH were enabled, and produces a C library that uses the nsswitch service libraries to search for database entries as this file specifies, instead of consulting '/etc/nsswitch.conf' at run time. This should be an absolute filename. The EGLIBC build process may use it from several different working directories. It may include references to Makefile variables like 'common-objpfx' (the top of the build tree, with a trailing slash), or '..' (the top of the source tree, with a trailing slash). The EGLIBC source tree includes a sample configuration file named 'nss/fixed-nsswitch.conf'; for simple configurations, you will probably want to delete references to databases not needed on your system. EGLIBC_NSSWITCH_FIXED_FUNCTIONS The EGLIBC build process uses this file to decide which functions to make available from which service libraries. The file 'nss/fixed-nsswitch.functions' serves as a sample configuration file for this setting, and explains its syntax and meaning in more detail. This should be an absolute file name. The EGLIBC build process may use it from several different working directories. It may include references to Makefile variables like 'common-objpfx' (the top of the build tree, with a trailing slash), or '..' (the top of the source tree, with a trailing slash). Be sure to mention each function in each service you wish to use. If you do not mention a service's function here, the EGLIBC database access functions will not find it, even if it is listed in the EGLIBC_NSSWITCH_FIXED_CONFIG file. In this arrangement, EGLIBC will not use the 'dlopen' and 'dlsym' functions to find database access functions. Instead, libc hard-codes references to the service libraries' database access functions. You must explicitly link your program against the name service libraries (those whose names start with 'libnss_', in the sysroot's '/lib' directory) whose functions you intend to use. This arrangement helps system-wide static analysis tools decide which functions a system actually uses. Note that some nsswitch service libraries require other option groups to be enabled; for example, the EGLIBC_INET option group must be enabled to use the 'libnss_dns.so.2' service library, which uses the Domain Name System network protocol to answer queries. config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_RCMD bool "Support for 'rcmd' and related library functions" default y depends EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_INET help This option group includes functions for running commands on remote machines via the 'rsh' protocol, and doing authentication related to those functions. This also includes functions that use the 'rexec' protocol. This option group includes the following functions: rcmd ruserok rcmd_af ruserok_af rexec iruserok rexec_af iruserok_af rresvport ruserpass rresvport_af config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_SPAWN bool "Support for POSIX posix_spawn functions" default y help This option group includes the POSIX functions for executing programs in child processes without using 'fork' or 'vfork'. This option group includes the following functions: posix_spawn posix_spawnattr_destroy posix_spawnattr_getflags posix_spawnattr_getpgroup posix_spawnattr_getschedparam posix_spawnattr_getschedpolicy posix_spawnattr_getsigdefault posix_spawnattr_getsigmask posix_spawnattr_init posix_spawnattr_setflags posix_spawnattr_setpgroup posix_spawnattr_setschedparam posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy posix_spawnattr_setsigdefault posix_spawnattr_setsigmask posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2 posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen posix_spawn_file_actions_destroy posix_spawn_file_actions_init posix_spawnp This option group also provides the ability for the iconv, localedef, and locale programs to operate transparently on compressed charset definitions. When this option group is disabled, those programs will only operate on uncompressed charmap files. config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_STREAMS bool "Support for accessing STREAMS." default y help This option group includes functions for reading and writing messages to and from STREAMS. The STREAMS interface provides a uniform mechanism for implementing networking services and other character-based I/O. (STREAMS are not to be confused with FILE objects, also called 'streams'.) This option group includes the following functions: getmsg putpmsg getpmsg fattach isastream fdetach putmsg config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_SUNRPC bool "Support for the Sun 'RPC' protocol." default y depends EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_INET help This option group includes support for the Sun RPC protocols, including the 'rpcgen' and 'rpcinfo' programs. config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_UTMP bool "Older access functions for 'utmp' login records" default y help This option group includes the older 'utent' family of functions for accessing user login records in the 'utmp' file. POSIX omits these functions in favor of the 'utxent' family, and they are obsolete on systems other than Linux. This option group includes the following functions: endutent getutent getutent_r getutid getutid_r getutline getutline_r logwtmp pututline setutent updwtmp utmpname This option group includes the following libraries: libutil.so (and libutil.a) config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_UTMPX bool "POSIX access functions for 'utmp' login records" default y depends EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_UTMP help This option group includes the POSIX functions for reading and writing user login records in the 'utmp' file (usually '/var/run/utmp'). The POSIX functions operate on 'struct utmpx' structures, as opposed to the family of older 'utent' functions, which operate on 'struct utmp' structures. This option group includes the following functions: endutxent getutmp getutmpx getutxent getutxid getutxline pututxline setutxent updwtmpx utmpxname config EGLIBC_OPTION_EGLIBC_WORDEXP bool "Shell-style word expansion" default y help This option group includes the 'wordexp' function for performing word expansion in the manner of the shell, and the accompanying 'wordfree' function. config EGLIBC_OPTION_POSIX_C_LANG_WIDE_CHAR bool "ISO C library wide character functions, excluding I/O" default y help This option group includes the functions defined by the ISO C standard for working with wide and multibyte characters in memory. Functions for reading and writing wide and multibyte characters from and to files call in the POSIX_WIDE_CHAR_DEVICE_IO option group. This option group includes the following functions: btowc mbsinit wcscspn wcstoll iswalnum mbsrtowcs wcsftime wcstombs iswalpha mbstowcs wcslen wcstoul iswblank mbtowc wcsncat wcstoull iswcntrl swprintf wcsncmp wcstoumax iswctype swscanf wcsncpy wcsxfrm iswdigit towctrans wcspbrk wctob iswgraph towlower wcsrchr wctomb iswlower towupper wcsrtombs wctrans iswprint vswprintf wcsspn wctype iswpunct vswscanf wcsstr wmemchr iswspace wcrtomb wcstod wmemcmp iswupper wcscat wcstof wmemcpy iswxdigit wcschr wcstoimax wmemmove mblen wcscmp wcstok wmemset mbrlen wcscoll wcstol mbrtowc wcscpy wcstold config EGLIBC_OPTION_POSIX_REGEXP bool "Regular expressions" default y help This option group includes the POSIX regular expression functions, and the associated non-POSIX extensions and compatibility functions. With POSIX_REGEXP disabled, the following functions are omitted from libc: re_comp re_max_failures regcomp re_compile_fastmap re_search regerror re_compile_pattern re_search_2 regexec re_exec re_set_registers regfree re_match re_set_syntax rpmatch re_match_2 re_syntax_options Furthermore, the compatibility regexp interface defined in the header file, 'compile', 'step', and 'advance', is omitted. config EGLIBC_OPTION_POSIX_WIDE_CHAR_DEVICE_IO bool "Input and output functions for wide characters" default y depends EGLIBC_OPTION_POSIX_C_LANG_WIDE_CHAR help This option group includes functions for reading and writing wide characters to and from streams. This option group includes the following functions: fgetwc fwprintf putwchar vwscanf fgetws fwscanf ungetwc wprintf fputwc getwc vfwprintf wscanf fputws getwchar vfwscanf fwide putwc vwprintf This option group further includes the following unlocked variants of the above functions: fgetwc_unlocked getwc_unlocked fgetws_unlocked getwchar_unlocked fputwc_unlocked putwc_unlocked fputws_unlocked putwchar_unlocked Note that the GNU standard C++ library, 'libstdc++.so', uses some of these functions; you will not be able to link or run C++ programs if you disable this option group. This option group also affects the behavior of the following functions: fdopen fopen fopen64 freopen freopen64 These functions all take an OPENTYPE parameter which may contain a string of the form ",ccs=CHARSET", indicating that the underlying file uses the character set named CHARSET. This produces a wide-oriented stream, which is only useful when the functions included in this option group are present. If the user attempts to open a file specifying a character set in the OPENTYPE parameter, and EGLIBC was built with this option group disabled, the function returns NULL, and sets errno to EINVAL.
