./misc/dync, C language awk-like utility

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.1nb2, Package name: dync-1.1nb2, Maintainer: agc

The dync utility is a small, but quite useful utility, which allows
the use of C as a scripting language. This can be quite useful
****SOMETIMES****, allowing access to system calls and library functions
from the command line. For example, there are occasions when I want
to see the struct stat for a directory entry, and want to be able to
access st_mtime values, without having to parse output from "ls -l".
A simple:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
struct stat st;
if (stat(argv[1], &st) == 0) {
printf("%lld\n", st.st_mtime);
}
exit(0);
}

will do the job. If I was to try this by other means, I would either
have to install all of Perl, and then learn its idiosyncratic syntax,
or write a custom C program, which I would then have to compile on
each architecture I need.

This utility relies on there being a C compiler on the target machine,
and a working dlopen(3).

Add SHA512 digests for distfiles for misc category

Problems found locating distfiles:
	Package colorls: missing distfile ls.tar.gz
	Package molden: missing distfile molden-4.6/molden4.6.tar.gz

Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden).  All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
