| | | | | | value < 0. errno is only updated in this case. Change all (most?) callers of syscalls to follow this better, and let's see if this strictness helps us in the future.

| | | | | | | | | possible. Annotate <sys/param.h> lines with their current reasons. Switch to PATH_MAX, NGROUPS_MAX, HOST_NAME_MAX+1, LOGIN_NAME_MAX, etc. Change MIN() and MAX() to local definitions of MINIMUM() and MAXIMUM() where sensible to avoid pulling in the pollution. These are the files confirmed through binary verification. ok guenther, millert, doug (helped with the verification protocol)

* Remove the undocumented and ineffective -F option (force hard linkschwarze2014-05-071-8/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | to directory). This doesn't reduce functionality but merely results in a better error message when trying to use the option, and it simplifies the code. The -f option first appeared in AT&T Version 7 UNIX (1979), and Keith Bostic renamed it to -F for 4.3BSD-Reno in 1990 because it conflicted with System V and POSIX. Meanwhile, NetBSD, FreeBSD, and DragonFly removed it, too. From Tristan Le Guern <tleguern at bouledef dot eu>. OK guenther@ krw@
