(Coverity CID #15).
Sun May 4 23:16:59 BST 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start, pipeline_pump): Zero sigaction
structures before using them. (I believe we set all required
fields anyway; this is just an extra safety catch.)
Sun Apr 27 11:24:24 BST 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_sigchld): assert is not
async-signal-safe, so avoid calling it in a signal handler and use

assertion is failing there is unclear).
Sun Feb 17 17:13:55 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

xstrsignal.
Sun Jan 27 13:42:31 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_free): Call pipeline_wait if the pipeline
is still running.
* lib/pipeline.h (pipeline_free): Document that this may happen.
Tue Aug 28 17:19:16 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Implement and use a decompression library. This allows cat pages to
be saved in the background (Debian bug #18452) and operation with a
read-only /tmp (Debian bug #165499).
* lib/pipeline.h (struct command): Add support for commands that
consist of calling a function rather than executing a process.
(struct pipeline): Add want_infile and want_outfile members. Note
that infile and outfile default to NULL. Add source, buffer,
buflen, bufmax, line_cache, and peek_offset members.

subprocesses don't inherit it.
(pipeline_connect, pipeline_pump, get_block, pipeline_read,
pipeline_peek, pipeline_peek_size, pipeline_peek_skip, get_line,
pipeline_readline, pipeline_peekline): New functions.

subprocesses; this has undesirable consequences in some
situations.
(pipeline_wait): Flatten SIGPIPE exit statuses to zero instead.
Tue Feb 27 20:58:31 GMT 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start): Save previous value of SIGQUIT
such that it gets restored as SIGQUIT, not as SIGINT.
Mon Jan 8 10:39:24 GMT 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start, pipeline_wait,
pipeline_install_sigchld): Use xsigaction instead of

Tue Dec 26 14:27:59 GMT 2006 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c: Include "gettext.h" rather than <libintl.h>. Make
sure not to include <locale.h> before "gettext.h", for portability
to Solaris.
Sun Sep 17 09:20:33 BST 2006 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start): Ignore SIGPIPE in child processes
(Debian bug #387864).
Wed Feb 22 09:44:02 GMT 2006 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (command_new_argstr): Skip "exec" at the start of a
command, to make old configuration files work (Debian bug
#353959).
Wed Sep 21 10:56:22 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_wait): Queue SIGCHLD for the whole time
we're collecting child process statuses; we need to keep a careful

than magic numbers.
Mon Jul 11 18:12:58 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_wait): Emit a debugging message.

* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_sigchld): Don't bother saving and
restoring errno if SIGCHLD is being queued.
Sun Nov 7 16:07:26 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_wait): Close pipeline output before
reaping processes, so that writing processes get SIGPIPE.
Sun Nov 7 16:05:08 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_wait): Fix active process debugging
output to include processes without statuses.

* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start): Dump pipeline in debugging mode.
Thu Aug 28 00:40:09 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start): Change "couldn't exec %s" to
"can't execute %s" in line with src/man.c, to make translators'
lives easier.
(pipeline_wait): Separate "%s: %s%s" into two translatable
strings: the "(core dumped)" portion should definitely be
translated.
Fri Aug 15 18:05:37 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c: Include <libgen.h> instead of relying on
basename() prototype in manconfig.h.
Sat Aug 9 18:28:01 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Replace the old "wait() for one child at a time" approach with a
SIGCHLD-handling edifice that collects children's exit statuses as
they die.
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_new): Initialize statuses.
(pipeline_join): Set statuses to NULL in joined pipeline.
(pipeline_join, pipeline_get_infile, pipeline_get_outfile,
pipeline_start, pipeline_wait): Assert that statuses field is NULL
or non-NULL as appropriate.
(pipeline_free): Free statuses if necessary.
(pipeline_start): Add p to a new active_pipelines array, to be
used while reaping children. Initialize statuses elements to -1.
Block SIGCHLD while forking children.
(reap_children): New function. Delivers collected exit statuses
into statuses fields of entries in active_pipelines.
(pipeline_wait): Rather than wait()ing manually here, check
whether any statuses have been picked up by the SIGCHLD handler,
and if not call reap_children(). Remove now-obsolete TODO comment.
(pipeline_sigchld): New function, the SIGCHLD handler.
(pipeline_install_sigchld): New function, to be called once per
program.
(pipeline_start, pipeline_wait): Add minimal debugging
information.
* lib/pipeline.h: Prototype new functions.
(struct pipeline): New statuses member.
Sat Aug 9 17:00:12 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (command_dup): Copy cmd->nice.
(pipeline_command): Correct condition for growing commands array.

changing either.
Mon Aug 4 19:30:22 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_dump): New function to dump a printable
representation of a pipeline to a stream.

* lib/pipeline.h: Prototype these.
Mon Aug 4 12:03:38 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (argstr_get_word): Plug some memory leaks.
Mon Aug 4 01:05:12 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_wait): The return value was a bit
groff-specific. Now just return the status of the last command in
the pipeline, as reported by wait().
Mon Aug 4 00:31:44 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Add support for getting stdio streams for input and output. Needs
library support because pipeline_wait() needs to know to close the
stream rather than the underlying file descriptor.

(pipeline_get_infile, pipeline_get_outfile): Add prototypes.
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_new): Initialize infile and outfile.
(pipeline_join): Likewise.
(pipeline_get_infile, pipeline_get_outfile): New functions.
(pipeline_wait): Check for infile and outfile and fclose() them in
preference to close()ing infd and outfd. Check for errors on
close().
Sun Aug 3 23:59:18 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start): Use dup2() instead of close()
then dup().
Sun Aug 3 23:52:14 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
infd and outfd should now only be set by pipeline_start(). Positive
values in want_in and want_out now indicate caller-supplied file
descriptors, while negative values indicate a request for
pipeline_start() to create a pipe.
* lib/pipeline.h (struct pipeline): Document this.
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start): Implement it. Caller-supplied
input and output file descriptors previously didn't work properly.
(pipeline_wait): Update TODO comment.
Sun Aug 3 21:07:46 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.h (struct command): New 'nice' member.

Sun Aug 3 20:47:24 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* lib/pipeline.c (argstr_get_word, command_new_argstr,
command_argstr, pipeline_command_argstr): New functions to handle
constructing commands from shell-quoted strings, such as those
found in man-db configuration files. They deliberately handle only
a safe subset of shell syntax.
* lib/pipeline.h: Prototype command_new_argstr(), command_argstr(),
and pipeline_command_argstr().

* lib/pipeline.c (command_dup): New function to duplicate a command.
(pipeline_join): New function to join two pipelines together.
* lib/pipeline.h: Prototype these.

* lib/pipeline.h (struct pipeline): The writeto, readfrom, writefd,
and readfd names turn out to be confusing in calling code. Rename
to want_in, want_out, infd, and outfd respectively.
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_new, pipeline_start, pipeline_wait): Use
new names.

Add support in pipeline library for writing input to or reading
output from the whole pipeline.
* lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_new): Initialize writeto, readfrom,
writefd, and readfd.
(pipeline_start): Create extra pipes as necessary.
(pipeline_wait): Expand TODO comment. Close file descriptors from
extra pipes if necessary.
* lib/pipeline.h (struct pipeline): Add writeto, readfrom, writefd,
and readfd.

* lib/pipeline.c: New pipeline library, adapted from that in groff.
The interface isn't complete yet; in particular, it can't be a
replacement for popen() at the moment.
* lib/pipeline.h: New file with pipeline library interface.
