2006-02-23  Jonathan Pryor  <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Create() should return a UnixFileInfo if the file
	  doesn't exist.  This allows callers to use UnixFileInfo.Exists to see if
	  the file exists, and behaves more rationally e.g. if the directory
	  contents changes while calling UnixDirectoryInfo.GetFileSystemEntries(),
	  we'll get a UnixFileInfo entry that doesn't exist instead of an exception
	  terminating the entire array creation.
	* UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: [Obsolete] the Contents property -- this property
	  *always* creates a new object if HasContents=true, and since a
	  UnixFileSystemInfo instance is (104+2*(sizeof(void*))+1) bytes (~113 bytes
	  on 32-bit platforms), we don't want to create these frequently.  Add a
	  GetContents() method as the replacement, to make it (slightly) more
	  explicit that information won't be cached (and thus should be cached by
	  the caller, if appropriate).  GetContents() throws an exception if
	  HasContents=false instead of returning null; this change brings the
	  implementation in line with the documentation.

2006-02-18  Alp Toker  <alp@atoker.com>

	* UnixEndPoint.cs: Avoid truncation of last two bytes of SocketAddress
	string

2006-01-26  Jonathan Pryor  <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixMarshal.cs: Check for null arguments in PtrToString() and
	  PtrToStringArray().

2006-01-24  Jonathan Pryor  <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixMarshal.cs (StringToHeap): Return IntPtr.Zero if `s' is null.

2006-01-24  Jonathan Pryor  <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixMarshal.cs (StringToHeap): Check for null arguments.

2006-01-20  Jonathan Pryor  <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixDriveInfo.cs: Properties should generate an InvalidOperationException,
	  not an IOException.  Users can use IsReady to avoid exception generation.
	* UnixIOException.cs: Create a custom message that embeds the error name 
	  within the text, e.g. "Permission denied [EACCES]."
	* UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: This really should create the file FullPath, not
	  OriginalPath.  Created files shouldn't ever be relative to the current
	  working directory, as this can change at any time.

2006-01-15  Jonathan Pryor  <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixUserInfo.cs: The UnixUserInfo(Native.Passwd) constructor and 
	  ToPasswd() should clone the underlying Native.Passwd, so
	  that it doesn't get changed from underneath it.
	* UnixGroupInfo.cs: The UnixGroupInfo(Native.Group) constructor should also
	  clone the provided Native.Group instance.

2006-01-14  Jonathan Pryor  <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixGroupInfo.cs: ToGroup() should clone the underlying Native.Group, so
	  that it doesn't get changed from underneath it.

2006-01-13  Jonathan Pryor  <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Catalog.cs, UnixMarshal.cs: Throw `UnixIOException(Native.Errno.ENOMEM)`
	  instead of System.OutOfMemoryException.  OOME should be reserved for use 
	  by the CLR (according to FxDG).

2006-01-12  Jonathan Pryor  <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixPath.cs: Add ReadLink() and TryReadLink() methods.

2006-01-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

	* PeerCred.cs: Do not define PeerCredData as this is a structure
	known to the runtime.  Instead use the Mono.Posix.PeerCredData
	internal class. 

2006-01-10  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Catalog.cs: Don't use
	  System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.StringToHGlobalAuto(), use
	  UnixMarshal.StringToHeap().  We require that the converted string be in
	  UTF-8 format, but .NET's Marshal.StringToHGlobalAuto converts to the local
	  code page, *not* UTF-8 (Mono's does UTF-8).  UnixMarshal.StringToHeap
	  *always* does UTF-8, so use that instead.

2006-01-09  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* FileTypes.cs: Remove [Flags] attribute -- these aren't bitfield values.
	* UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Fix Is<<Type>> properties -- before it would
	  erroneously say that a symlink was a character device.  (This is because
	  device values are *not* [Flags] values, but code was assuming they were.)
	* UnixGroupInfo.cs: Clone the string[] returned from GetMemberNames().  We
	  don't want callers to change the underlying list.

2006-01-07  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixMarshal.cs: *Actually* put things in alphabetical order (like the
	  comment says).  I can speak english, really I can.

2006-01-06  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Catalog.cs: s/libintl/intl/g, since intl.dll is used by GTK+ on Windows,
	  not libintl.dll (according to
	  http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html).

2006-01-03  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixMarshal.cs (CreateExceptionForError): Don't map ENOMEM to
	  System.OutOfMemoryException.  OOME should be reserved for use by the CLR.
	  Return a UnixIOException instead (default behavior).

2006-01-02  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* StdioFileStream.cs: Shut up FxCop - add a GC.KeepAlive to 
	  AssertNotDisposed().
	* UnixClient.cs, UnixListener.cs: Use System.MarshalByRefObject as the base
	  class.  These types implement IDisposable and have a finalizer, so if an
	  instance of these types were sent to another AppDomain they'd previously 
	  marshal by copy, which could lead to a double release of an unmanaged
	  resource -- potential badness.  Using MarshalByRefObject fixes this.

2006-01-02  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixMarshal.cs: s/EACCESS/EACCES/g.  I can't read.

2006-01-02  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* StdioFileStream.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs, 
	  UnixFileInfo.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs,
	  UnixIOException.cs, UnixMarshal.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs,
	  UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Remove Obsolete API.
	* CdeclFunction.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs, Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs,
	  UnixConvert.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixGroup.cs, 
	  UnixUser.cs: Delete.
	* UnixPath.cs: Remove InvalidPathChars; use GetInvalidPathChars() instead.
	* FileTypes.cs: Remove Obsolete API

2006-01-02  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* FileAccessPermissions.cs: Remove UserMask, GroupMask, OtherMask values.
	* FileSpecialAttributes.cs: Remove AllAttributes member; it shouldn't be
	  public.  Use UnixFileSystemInfo.AllSpecialAttributes instead.
	* StdioFileStream.cs: Open files in binary mode, not text;
	  Fix exception message for StdioFileStream(path, mode) mode param check.
	* UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: Add Create(FileAccessPermissions) overload; change
	  GetFileSystemEntries() to include the directory name that the files came
	  from (otherwise they're in the current working direcetory, which they
	  probably aren't).
	* UnixFileInfo.cs: Add Create(FileAccessPermissions) overload; Add better
	  argument checking to several Open() overloads.
	* UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add AllSpecialAttributes, AllFileTypes members;
	  FullPath member should invalidate instance if path changes; Change return
	  type of GetFileStatus for maintenance/better documentation; ToStat()
	  should ensure that the instance is valid first.
	* UnixMarshal.cs: Add additional Errno values to CreateExceptionForError();
	  reformat CreateExceptionForError for maintenance.
	* UnixPath.cs: Obsolete InvalidPathChars -- FxCop never liked it, and now I
	  know why it didn't like it (thank you Framework Design Guidelines!).
	* UnixStream.cs: Use UnixFileSystemInfo.AllSpecialAttributes, not 
	  FileSpecialAttributes.AllAttributes (which was removed).
	* UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Change return type of GetFileStatus().

2005-12-28  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* FileHandleOperations.cs: Check for null references.

2005-12-28  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixMarshal.cs: Errno.EBADF should also trigger a ArgumentException.

2005-12-27  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* FileHandleOperations.cs, FileTypes.cs, Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs, 
	  UnixConvert.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs, UnixDriveInfo.cs, 
	  UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs,
	  UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixIOException.cs, UnixMarshal.cs, 
	  UnixPath.cs, UnixPipes.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs, 
	  UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs, UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Mark to-be-removed
	  API with [Obsolete(IsError=true)] (permits compiler assistance for finding
	  obsolete code); Migrate to the Mono.Unix.Native API.
	* StdioFileStream.cs: Add non-Obsolete overloads for SaveFilePosition &
	  RestoreFilePosition (oops).  Migrate to Mono.Unix.Native API.

2005-12-07  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixMarshal.cs: Add PtrToStringUnix() -- specialized PtrToString method
	  which is significantly faster than PtrToString(p, UnixEncoding.Instance). 
	  Use System.String..ctor(sbyte*, int, int, Encoding) to avoid the byte[]
	  intermediate copy -- much faster.  Fix PtrToString() so that it will
	  accept an IntPtr containing 0 characters, and don't duplicate strings
	  unless necessary.

2005-11-18  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Catalog.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs, UnixDriveInfo.cs,
	  UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs,
	  UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs,
	  UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Change types of [Obsolete] members for
	  consistency and CLS compliance; Mono.Unix.Native type migration.
	* FileTypes.cs: s/Special/Device/g (CharacterSpecial ==> CharacterDevice).
	  The *Special was a BSD convention, while UnixFileSystemInfo uses *Device
	  in property names, and these should be consistent.  Changing the enum is
	  simpler than changing the UnixFileSystemInfo properties.
	* UnixIOException.cs: s/error/errno/g (FxCop suggestion); change type of
	  ErrorCode property.
	* UnixMarshal.cs: s/error/errno/g (FxCop suggestion); Mono.Unix.Native
	  type migration.

2005-11-08  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Catalog.cs: Exception safety improvements (don't let memory leak!); check
	  for errors with bindtextdomain(3) et. al.

2005-11-08  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixPipes.cs: Provide Equals, GetHashCode, and operator==/operator!= to
	  conform with FxCop guidelines for structures.

2005-11-03  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* FileTypes.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: s/FIFO/Fifo/ to follow .NET
	  naming conventions (as reported by FxCop).

2005-11-01  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixDirectoryInfo.cs, UnixDriveInfo.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs, 
	  UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixUserInfoc.cs:
	  Obsolete statements now specify in what way the return type will change.
	* IncludeAttribute.cs: Obsoleted.  It's an error to use it now.

2005-11-01  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* FileAccessPattern.cs: Change enumeration names to match Robert Love's more
	  sensible names from his FileAdvise class used in Beagle
	  (UseSoon --> PreLoad, WillNotUse --> FlushCache).
	* FileHandleOperations.cs: Added; contains AdviseFileAccessPattern()
	  (moved from UnixFile.cs).
	* UnixDirectory.cs: Obsolete the class; use UnixDirectoryInfo instead.
	* UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: Add GetCurrentDirectory(), SetCurrentDirectory().
	* UnixFile.cs: Obsolete the class; use UnixFileInfo, FileHandleOperations,
	  or UnixPipes instead.
	* UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add ToStat() method.
	* UnixGroup.cs: Obsolete the class; use UnixGroupInfo instead.
	* UnixGroupInfo.cs: Obsolete & Replace constructor, add GetMemberNames(),
	  GetLocalGroups().
	* UnixPipes.cs: Added (type moved from UnixFile.cs).
	* UnixStream.cs: AdviseFileAccessPattern() uses FileHandleOperations now.
	* UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Implement TryReadLink() to avoid constant buffer
	  re-sizing.  Stevens states that the file size of the symlink is the number
	  of bytes needed to hold the symlink, so this should be faster.
	* UnixUser.cs: Obsolete the class; use UnixUserInfo instead.
	* UnixUserInfo.cs: Obsolete & Replace constructor; add useful static members
	  from UnixUser such as GetLoginName(), GetLocalUsers(), etc.

2005-10-27  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixEnvironment.cs: Add RealUser, RealGroup, EffectiveUser, EffectiveGroup
	  properties; [Obsolete] necessary methods and provide replacements.
	* UnixStream.cs: Add OwnerUser(Id), OwnerGroup(Id) properties; 
	  improve Stat handling.

2005-10-26  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixEncoding.cs: Change EscapeByte to 0x0000, as suggested by Michal
	  Moskal.
	* UnixPath.cs: Remove '\0' from InvalidPathChars, since U+0000 is now used
	  as the path escape character for marshaling purposes.

2005-10-26  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixMarshal.cs: Obsolete heap-related methods to have a Heap suffix
	  (AllocHeap, FreeHeap, etc.), and change StringToAlloc() to be
	  StringToHeap().  This creates a stronger name association between related
	  methods.

2005-10-26  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixIOException.cs: Add (string) and (string, Exception) constructors to
	  silence FxCop; re-work logic so we lookup the error string at construction
	  time and use this as the message for the base class.

2005-10-25  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs: Filenames need to be marshaled through the 
	  FileNameMarshaler, which will encode/decode filenames with UnixEncoding.
	* UnixEncoding.cs: Added (copied from
	  ../../corlib/System.Text/UTF8Encoding.cs); a hack to permit handling of 
	  arbitrarily encoded filenames.  It attempts to decode a byte[] array as 
	  UTF-8, and if the decode fails it prefixes each byte with 
	  UnixEncoding.EscapeByte (\uFFFF).
	* UnixMarshal.cs: Use UnixEncoding as the default encoding, and special-case
	  UnixEncoding to use Stdlib.strlen() for native string lengths.

2005-10-21  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* FileAccessPattern.cs: Added
	* UnixFile.cs, UnixStream.cs: Deprecate all the Advise* methods (lots!)
	  and replace with 6 methods which take a FileAccessPattern enum.

2005-10-19  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* FileAccessPermissions.cs, FileSpecialAttributes.cs, FileTypes.cs: Added.
	* UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixStream.cs: Replace the old Permission property
	  with 4 new properties: Protection (for the Native.FilePermissions value),
	  FileAccessPermissions (for rwxrwxrwx info), FileSpecialAttributes (for
	  set-user-id, set-group-id, sticky), and FileTypes (directory, socket...).
	  The new enumeration types have nicer CLS-compliant names.

2005-10-17  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixMarshal.cs: Fix GetIntXxBufferLength to require fewer
	  Marshal.ReadIntXx() calls; Fix PtrToString so that
	  ``"foo" == PtrToString (StringToAlloc("foo",enc),enc)'' is true for
	  "random" encodings.

2005-10-17  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add OwnerUserId and OwnerGroupId properties.

2005-10-17  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixDriveInfo.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, 
	  UnixGroup.cs, UnixStream.cs, UnixUser.cs: Don't use SetLastError(), since
	  it's use is (1) incorrect, and (2) will be going away with the move to
	  Mono.Unix.Native.Syscall.  Instead use the Native.Syscall.* APIs which 
	  set errno sanely.

2005-10-17  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs,
	  UnixStream.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs, UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs:
	  Start migrating uid/gid to long (from uint) for CLS compliance.
	  (Full migration must wait 'til after the next release as this would
	  require changes to existing members.)
	* UnixEnvironment.cs: Above, and add RealUserId/RealGroupId and
	  EffectiveUserId/EffectiveGroupId.

2005-10-14  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Catalog.cs: Create a constructor and mark it [Obsolete].  It will be made
	  private after the next release.
	* UnixFile.cs, UnixStream.cs: Deal with Mono.Unix.Native type name changes.
	* UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: [Obsolete] more members; Deal with Mono.Unix.Native 
	  type name changes.
	* Syscall.cs: Create maps for PathConf, SysConf, ConfStr again; fpathconf(),
	  pathconf(), and sysconf() should call Native.Syscall since the
	  MonoPosixHelper.so helpers have changed.

2005-10-13  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixMarshal.cs: More/better StringToAlloc/PtrToString which take a
	  System.Text.Encoding instance for proper string marshaling.  
	  - PtrToString(string,Encoding) is particularly tricky due to variable
	    length encodings.
	  - Fix StringToAlloc so that it works properly with UTF-16 encodings 
	    (we need a terminating null 16-bit word, not a null byte).
	  - StringToAlloc overload for doing substrings.

2005-10-12  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixStream.cs: Check for EROFS and EINVAL in Flush().  Snorp was getting
	  an exception when he created a UnixStream around a socket, because
	  sockets can't be flushed.  It should be acceptable to create a UnixStream
	  around a socket, so don't throw an exception in this scenario.

2005-10-06  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs UnixFile.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, 
	  UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixIOException.cs, UnixStream.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs:
	  API Review: Obsolete appropriate members and add appropriate overloads for
	  pending move to Mono.Unix.Native types.
	* UnixMarshal.cs: API Review; add StringToAlloc().

2005-09-26  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Exists shouldn't use access(2), as (1) Exists isn't
	  virtual, and (2) access(2) errors if you try to access(2) a symlink which
	  points nowhere.  Use (l)stat(2) instead, via GetFileStatus(), as this lets
	  UnixSymbolicLinkInfo behave properly.
	* UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: The Contents property should return null if the
	  symlink target doesn't exist.

2005-09-20  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs: Add [Map] to AccessMode and MmapProt, as the Mono.Unix.Native
	  replacements go by different names (AccessModes, MmapProts), but we need
	  to continue generating the mapping code for these types (backward compat).

2005-09-20  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* CdeclFunction.cs: [Obsolete]d by Mono.Unix.Native.CdeclFunction.
	* make-map.cs: Remove.
	* Stdlib.cs: [Obsolete] the types; use the Mono.Unix.Native.* types instead.
	* StdioFileStream.cs: Add GC.KeepAlive statements to prevent premature GC's
	  (FxCop suggestion).
	* Syscall.cs: Remove [Map] attribute from all types; [CLSCompliant(false)]
	  work; [Obsolete] all types and suggest using the Mono.Unix.Native.*
	  replacements; remove [IncludeAttribute] -- superseded by
		Mono.Unix.Native/Syscall.cs's [HeaderAttribte] for CLS compliance.
	* UnixConvert.cs: [Obsolete]d by Mono.Unix.Native.NativeConvert.
	* UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDriveInfo.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs, 
	  UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, 
	  UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs, UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs:
	  Add [CLSCompliant(false)] as necessary.
	* UnixFile.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: 
	  [CLSCompliant(false)], addition of method overloads for [Obsolete]d types, 
	  warn about changing return types.
	* UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs: Add [CLSCompliant(false)] as necessary, 
	  and warn about changing property types.

2005-09-02  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: Cache delegates passed to Stdlib.signal() so that they survive
	  garbage collections.  Delegates can be removed by calling Stdlib.signal()
	  again with one of the Stdlib.SIG_* values (or the original return value of
	  Stdlib.signal()).
	* UnixUser.cs, UnixGroup.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs: Clarify "Id" (int) vs. 
	  "Name" (string) differences by always using a Id or Name suffix.

2005-07-01  Daniel Drake  <dsd@gentoo.org>

	* Syscall.cs: The entire extended attribute API now goes through MPH, to
	  be shared between both Linux's and FreeBSD's similar EA implementations.

2005-06-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

	* StdioFileStream.cs: Only flush if we do not own the handle, as
	fclose does a flush internally.

2005-06-29  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixEnvironment: Add User, Login properties.
	* Syscall.cs: Add locking around cuserid, crypt, encrypt, getlogin.

2005-06-29  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs: SyslogFacility shouldn't be [Flags] either.  Sigh.
	  Thanks to Vorobiev Maksim for pointing this out.
	* make-map.cs: Don't generate conversion code for [Obsolete] enum members.
	  This assumes that (1) the enum member's value is invalid, or (2) a
	  corrected member with the same value exists.  This fix allows us to
	  obsolete invalid members (instead of removing them) without screwing up
	  the generated code -- consider LOG_USRE, the mis-spelling of LOG_USER.
	  Since SyslogFacility was (incorrectly) a [Flags] enum, since both LOG_USER
	  and LOG_USRE had the same value, we'd get a EINVAL error trying to convert
	  a valid value, since LOG_USRE would exist, would be checked for, and the
	  check would succeed (since it had the same value as LOG_USER).
	  This change allows us to be slightly more permissive with versioning.

2005-06-28  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs: correct value of LOG_CRON (it shouldn't be identical to
	  LOG_UUCP).  SyslogLevel shouldn't have [Flags].  Move LOG_USER to be
	  before LOG_USRE so that the generated map code doesn't return EINVAL when
	  LOG_USER is specified.

2005-06-15  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs: s/LOG_USRE/LOG_USER/.  Fixes #75274.  
	  Thanks to Martin Honermeyer.

2005-06-09  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* make-map.cs: Look for [Obsolete] members, and mark the UnixConvert
	  conversion functions with the same [Obsolete] message.  This should permit
	  more graceful deprecation of enumerations in the future (rather than just
	  API breaks).

2005-06-08  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs: Add execvp(2).  (This should have been added with the other
	  exec(2) additions...).

2005-06-08  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs: Update comment with correct exception type.
	* UnixConvert.cs: Rename ToFilePermissions(string) to
	  FromOctalPermissionString; Add ToOctalPermissionString,
	  FromUnixPermissionString, ToUnixPermissionString.
	* UnixMarshal.cs: Remove ErrorMarshal.HaveStrerror_r and
	  UnixMarshal.IsErrorDescriptionThreadSafe.  strerror(3) is now thread-safe
	  (from managed code, at least).  Update comment.

2005-06-07  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Don't use lstat(2), use stat(2).  This fits with
	  expectations better -- if you create a UnixFileInfo() on a symlink, you
	  want to get the target's information, not the symlink's info.  Add
	  GetFileStatus so UnixSymbolicLinkInfo can override this behavior.
	* UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Implement GetFileStatus() (which calls lstat(2)).

2005-06-07  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs: Document naming conventions.

2005-06-05  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* make-map.cs: Change automatic "ifdef HAVE_<header>" support prefix to
	  "ah:" from ">".  I hadn't known about ">", and "ah:" is (somewhat) more
	  obvious.
	* Syscall.cs: Change IncludeAttribute to put all headers/defines one/line.
	  It's easier to read this way.  Add "ah:sys/xattr.h" to the headers.

2005-06-03  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: Add sanity checking to snprintf(3) to avoid buffer overflows.

2005-06-02  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* StdioFileStream.cs: Remove FilePosition property & replace with
	  SaveFilePosition/RestoreFilePosition methods.  Since FilePosition has a
	  finalizer, it's not right to have implicitly created instances.
	* Stdlib.cs: 
	  - FilePosition: GC.SuppressFinalize() should be last in Dispose() 
	    (following .NET guidelines).
	  - Syscall: Add locking around functions most likely to be thread unsafe.
	    This should provide some level of thread-safety to managed code.
	* Syscall.cs: Add locking around functions most likely to be thread unsafe;
	  add mkstemp(3) export.
	* UnixEnvironment.cs: GetUserShells should be atomic (from managed code).
	* UnixGroup.cs: GetLocalGroups should be atomic (from managed code).
	* UnixGroupInfo.cs: Add ToGroup() method to retrieve underlying Group info.
	* UnixUser.cs: GetLocalUsers should be atomic (from managed code).
	* UnixUserInfo.cs: Add ToPasswd () method to retrieve underlying Passwd info.
	* UnixDriveInfo.cs: GetDrives should be atomic (from managed code).

2005-05-31  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: Add comment for atexit(3) so I don't try to add it.
	* Syscall.cs: Add fcntl(2) overload which takes DirectoryNotifyFlags (so
	  that *something* accepts a DirectoryNotifyFlags); Fix IncludeAttribute
		header files (">sys/poll.h" doesn't exist); 
	  Add additional <sys/mman.h> functions mmap, munmap, msync, mlock, munlock,
	  mlockall, munlockall, mremap, mincore, remap_file_pages.
	* UnixConvert.cs: Add conversion functions for MmapFlags, MmapProt, MsyncFlags,
	  MlockallFlags, MremapFlags.

2005-05-31  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs: Rename LockFlags to LockfCommand.  This is a more 
	  consistent naming, and it's more correct (they weren't flags in the first place).

2005-05-18  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: Correct Mono_Posix_Stdlib_InvokeSignalHandler export.

2005-05-18  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* make-map.cs: Process the Mono.Posix namespace as well as Mono.Unix; add
	  mapping for Boolean => int for native type conversion.

2005-05-18  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* make-map.cs: Add a MphPrototypeFileGenerator, which looks for DllImport
	  methods across all types and generates a C header file declaration for
	  those methods.  This allows us to ensure consistency between
	  Mono.Posix.dll and MonoPosixHelper.so.  Rename WrapperFileGenerator to
		ConvertFileGenerator (it generates UnixConvert).
	* MapAttribute.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs: Make these internal -- there's no
	  reason for external users to even know these exist.
	* StdioFileStream.cs: Move GC.SuppressFinalize call to be last Dispose()
	  call.  This follows current design guidelines, and allows an exception to
	  be thrown from Dispose() without un-registering the finalizer.
	* Syscall.cs: Change method declarations to match MonoPosixHelper, etc.
	   - posix_fallocate(P) takes a size_t
	   - mis-spelled settimeofday(2), sethostname(2)
	   - exec(2) can be public; it's safe to call
	   - change lseek(2) so int's are passed to MonoPosixHelper.so, not shorts
	   - We can't allow two incompatible prototypes to exist (since C allows
	     only one prototype, and we're cross-checking prototypes now).  Change
	     utime(2) so only one prototype is needed.
	* UnixMarshal.cs: ErrorMarshal.ErrorTranslator and ErrorMarshal.Translate
	  shouldn't be public; make them internal.
	* UnixStream.cs: Remove `unsafe` code block when a "safe" alternative works;
	  Close() should also call GC.SuppressFinalize.

2005-05-12  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs: The Statvfs structure should contain a MountFlags enumeration,
	  not a ulong (we can "safely" do this since POSIX defines some values for
	  f_flag, so we should be kind and expose them).
	* UnixConvert.cs: Add MountFlags conversion functions.

2005-05-02  Joe Shaw  <joeshaw@novell.com>

	* UnixListener.cs (Init): Remove the call to Cleanup() and the
	method itself, which was not supposed to be here.  We try to
	connect to the socket if it exists instead of deleting it
	undconditionally.

2005-04-30  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

	* Stdlib.cs: Comment out usage of `UnmanagedFunctionPointer'. It
	isn't supported in the runtime -- it throws an assert -- so better
	not to use it at all for now.

2005-04-29  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixConvert.cs: Fix time_t -> DateTime conversions.  time_t should be
	  assumed to be in the local time zone, so don't mess with UTC shifts.
	  This allows Mono.Unix to produce sane output (e.g. identical to ls(1) or
	  stat(1), instead of several hours different).

2005-04-29  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: Make FilePosition slightly more useful by providing a
	  ToString() override which dumps the fpos_t structure contents into a 
	  hex string.  Add Equals(), GetHashCode(), operator==, and operator!=
	  so FilePosition behaves like a value type.

2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* UnixClient.cs:
	* UnixListener.cs: TcpListener/TcpClient clones from Jow Shaw.

2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* Mono.Posix.dll.sources: added UnixListener and UnixClient from Joe
	Shaw.

2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

	* UnixEndPoint.cs: fix from Mono.Posix.

2005-04-20  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs: Make all fork(2) and exec(2) functions `private`.  It
	  currently isn't safe to call these under *any* circumstances.  See also
	  68141, and this pertinent quote from Butenhof's 
	  "Programming with POSIX Threads", p197, s6.1:
	  
	      "When a threaded process calls fork to create a child process,
	      Pthreads specifies that only the thread calling fork exists in the
	      child. ... Pthreads does not 'terminate' the other threads in a forked
	      process...They simply cease to exist.  ... This is not a problem if
	      the child process is about to call exec to run a new program, but if
	      you use fork to clone a threaded program, beware that you may lose
	      access to memory, especially heap memory stored only as
	      thread-specific data values."
	  
	  Since P/Invoke currently requires using thread local storage, once you
	  fork(2) you won't be able to invoke exec(2) from managed code (since that
	  would require a P/Invoke transition to call exec(2), which would require
	  TLS, which doesn't exist in the new process).
	 
	  This can only be fixed by removing the TLS dependency on P/Invoke, which
	  isn't a priority (and may not be possible).
	 
	  The workaround is to create a C function which does your fork(2)/exec(2)
	  (and any other functions such as daemon(3)) on your behalf, and P/Invoke
	  to call this C function.

2005-04-18  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs: Update comment specifying which functions belong in Syscall.
	* UnixConvert.cs: Add XattrFlags conversion functions.
	* UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warning about self-assignment.

2005-04-16  Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>

	* Syscall.cs: Add bindings for extended attribute manipulation

2005-04-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

	* Syscall.cs: Set entry point for sys_syslog to be syslog.
	Include the syslog.h header in the generated map so that we
	actually do the mapping.

2005-03-28  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixConvert.cs: Add ToFopenMode() methods, which convert FileMode/FileAccess
	  into an fopen(3) mode string.  ToOpenFlags() should throw
	  ArgumentOutOfRangeException for argument violations.
	* StdioFileStream.cs: Add constructor overloads accepting filename and
	  FileMode/FileAccess overloads; Compatibility fixes with regression tests;
	  remove IDisposable implementation since System.IO.Stream already
	  implements it (which calls Close() for us).

2005-03-17  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: Move Errno-related functionality into Stdlib from Syscall,
	  since (1) errno is part of C89, and (2) StdioFileStream will need it, and
	  StdioFileStream shouldn't use Syscall.  Add [UnmanagedFunctionPointer]
		attribute to SignalHandler for .NET 2.0 (since signal handlers use C
		calling convention, not Stdcall).
	* Syscall.cs: Move Errno-related functionality into Stdlib.
	* UnixMarshal.cs: Use ERANGE not EPERM when figuring out appropriate
	  translator, since ERANGE is part of C99 and EPERM isn't.  Use Stdlib
	  instead of Syscall for Errno-related functionality.

2005-02-02  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixFile.cs: Cope with changes in UnixStream.
	* UnixStream.cs: Change FileDescriptor property to Handle for consistency.
	* StdioFileStream.cs: Change FileStream property to Handle for consistency.

2005-02-02  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs: Remove public sys_ methods.  Some were public by mistake, and
	  others so that users could manually marshal strings if desired.  Manually
	  marshaling strings shouldn't be necessary, though, so remove them too.

2005-02-02  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* StdioFileStream.cs: Fix Length property to actually return the size of the
	  file, not the # of bytes from the current position to EOF.  Oops.

2005-01-31  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: Import "msvcrt", not "libc".  These members are part of the
	  ANSI C standard, and thus should be present on Windows via msvcrt.dll
	  (except snprintf, until they catch up to C99).  Change the calling
	  convention of all functions to Cdecl, as the .NET default is Stdcall.
	  Changing the calling convention isn't needed in Syscall, as it can only be
	  run on Unix platforms anyway, where the default is Cdecl.
	* Syscall.cs: Add LIBC member that points to the real "libc"; we can't use
	  the imported definition from Stdlib as "msvcrt" doesn't exist on Unix.

2005-01-29  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: sys_* functions shouldn't be public.

2005-01-13  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* make-map.cs: libMonoPosixHelper exports Mono_Posix prefixes, not Mono_Unix
	  prefixes, so change the type and namespace to generate compatible code.
	* Syscall.cs: Change OpenFlags values so they match the Linux values.

2005-01-13  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: Use Stdlib.LIBC instead of "libc".
	* StdioFileStream.cs: Add FilePosition property (not that I expect anyone to
	  use it) and Rewind() method.

2005-01-05  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* StdioFileStream.cs: Added; System.IO.Stream wrapper for C FILE struct.
	* Stdlib.cs: Correct visibility of ftell().

2005-01-05  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: Re-order declarations to match the order used in the 
	  C99 Standard Annex B; Complete <stdio.h> exports (except for those not
	  worth supporting); Add non-"unsafe" versions of fread(3), fwrite(3) and
	  add some rudimentary buffer-overflow checking; Add <stdlib.h> exports such
	  as getenv(3), exit(3), rand(3), EXIT_SUCCESS, RAND_MAX, etc.

2005-01-03  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs: Update endfsent() and setfsent() declarations, as these must
	  now be implemented in MonoPosixHelper.

2005-01-01  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs: Minimize duplicate declarations of
	  "MonoPosixHelper" for use in DllImport statements.

2005-01-01  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: Don't use C# v2 features; fixes build under CSC.EXE.

2004-12-30  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: On miguel's suggestion, rename Sighandler_t to SignalHandler.

2004-12-30  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: Implement all C89 <stdio.h> functions except for the scanf(3)
	  family.  These are too dangerous to expose.

2004-12-30  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* CdeclFunctions.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
	* Stdlib.cs: Make signal(2) sane and (hopefully) complete.
	* Syscall.cs: Fix cuserid Obsolete message to reference correct class name.
	* UnixProcess.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
	* UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warnings about unused variables.

2004-12-29  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixPath.cs: Add ReadSymbolicLink(), which takes an intelligent approach
	  to reading symlinks (since their contents may be any size, we grow the
	  buffer dynamically to fit them all, instead of assuming a maximum size).
	* UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Remove MaxContentsSize.

2004-12-29  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixPath.cs: Add check for when symlink points to a full path name.

2004-12-29  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs: Fix Object.Equals implementations.
	* UnixPath.cs: New & improved, with Testing!  GetRealPath() is changed so
	  that it doesn't walk the entire path looking for symlinks, it just reads 
	  the leaf.  GetCompletRealPath() walks the entire path resolving symlinks.
	  GetCanonicalPath() added, which "cleans up" a path (removing extraneous
	  "." and ".." entries).
	* UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Rename ContentsLength -> MaxContentsSize.

2004-12-28  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add a link(2) wrapper, CreateLink().  Strictly
	  speaking it's only "safe" to do this on files, but an exception will be 
	  returned if the user tries to hard link directories (because of EPERM), 
	  unless the user is root, in which case it should be allowed anyway...

2004-12-28  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* CdeclFunctions.cs: Correct the comments for AMD64
	* UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: override Name; add Parent & Root properties; 
	  Correct Path usage (s/Path/FullPath/g).
	* UnixDriveInfo.cs: Added.  Based on .NET 2.0 System.IO.DriveInfo docs,
	  provides statvfs(2) and getfsfile(3) information about a mounted volume.
	  GetDrives() wraps getfsent(3), thus parsing /etc/fstab.
	* UnixFile.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version.
	* UnixFileInfo.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version;
	  override Name; add DirectoryName and Directory properties; 
	* UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Make more .NET-like, using FullPath and
	  OriginalPath protected members, abstract Name property; Add
	  CreateSymbolicLink; Remove ReadLink (it's now 
	  UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.Contents); Use lstat(2) for Create(string), so we
	  properly detect Symbolic Links.
	* UnixPath.cs: Added; Path manipulation utility functions.
	* UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: 
	  - Seal the class; 
	  - override new abstract member Name; 
	  - rename ReadLink to ContentsPath (and Contents) properties 
	    (why "Contents"?  Because readlink(2) says "readlink places the 
	    contents of the symbolic link in the buffer...")
	  - Add CreateSymbolicLinkTo(), which creates a symlink to the specified
	    "normal" file

2004-12-28  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: Add syslog(3) to XPrintfFunctions; Add additional printf(3) 
	  and fprintf(3) overload which properly escape the format string 
	  (by using "%s" as the format for the user-supplied message).
	* Syscall.cs: Add #regions for enummerations, structures, classes; Wrap
	  syslog(3) and related enumerations; fix operator!= on Dirent, Group; 
	  wrap {f}statvfs(2); wrap <fstab.h> entries (getfsent(3), etc.).
	* UnixConvert.cs: Add Syslog-releated enumeration translation functions;
	  Move ToOpenFlags here from UnixFile and UnixFileInfo.
	* UnixMarshal.cs: Missing P/Invoke methods throw
	  EntryPointNotFoundException, not MissingMethodException; add
	  EscapeFormatString, which escapes printf-style format strings so that they
	  can be safely handed off to native code (avoiding stack overflow, etc);
	  make CreateExceptionForError internal.

2004-12-15  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: Add more <stdio.h> wrappers, such as fread(3) and fwrite(3).
	  These will be useful in implementing System.IO.Stream subclass for
	  reading/writing to a FILE*.  Fix a typo in the realloc(3) DllImport.
	* Syscall.cs: Fix the sys_kill and sys_crypt declarations.
	* CdeclFunction.cs: Document calling convention problems on AMD64.

2004-11-18  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* CdeclFunction.cs: Added.
	* Stdlib.cs: Re-add printf(3) and fprintf(3).  They may not be portable (the
	  jury is still out on that; the AMD64 SysV ABI looks like it should be
	  portable to AMD64 to my eyes), but they will work on *some* platforms, so
	  we should permit it.  The new implementation takes a page out of
	  cocoa-sharp: use System.Reflection.Emit to generate a P/Invoke method at
	  runtime to invoke printf(3) or fprintf(3).  This way, we can export a
	  params signature to C# code, permitting natural usage such as:
	      Stdlib.printf ("Hello, %s world! (%i)\n", "silly", 42);
	* Syscall.cs: Mark which headers are complete, which functions still need
	  wrapping (for headers which have anything done to them), add #region
	  blocks for each header;
	  export mkfifo(3), fexecve(), getppid(2), setlogin(); fix sleep(3) export.
	* UnixEnvironment.cs: Export a friendly getppid(2) wrapper.
	  GetParentProcessId isn't in UnixProcess as there's no way (that I know of)
	  to get the Parent's Parent, so it can't be a class member, and exposing it
	  as a static member of UnixProcess doesn't make sense to me, as it isn't
	  general.  Added GetUserShells().
	* UnixProcess.cs: Change constructor to internal, so it can be used from
	  UnixEnvironment.

2004-11-16  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Stdlib.cs: Remove printf(3) and fprintf(3).  These are vararg/CDECL 
	  functions, and it's not portable to call them in this manner.
	  (It's not portable because some architectures, such as AMD64, use a
	  "cookie" as part of the vararg calling sequence to help reduce buffer
	  overflow exploits.  Trying to call vararg functions as if they were an
	  overloaded function will not properly set this hardware cookie, resulting
	  in a hardware exception.  Talk to lupus for more information.)

2004-11-16  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs: Remove mount- and umount-related
	  functionality.  Mount/umount is inherently non-portable (see the C code
	  for mount/umount), and trying to provide a consistent interface is
	  impossible.  If you need mount/umount support, use the command-line
	  programs mount(1) and umount(1).

2004-11-16  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	+ Lots o' Renames, as the namespace changed.
	* PosixConvert.cs: Moved to UnixConvert.cs:
	* PosixDirectory.cs: Moved to UnixDirectory.cs:

	  UnixMarshal.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs,
	  UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Deal with renamed classes/members.

2004-11-15  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* PosixUserInfo.cs: Make the PosixUserInfo(Passwd) constructor public;
	  override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
	* PosixGroupInfo.cs: Make the PosixGroupInfo(Group) constructor public;
	  override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
	* PosixIOException.cs: Use PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription instead of
	  calling Syscall.strerror_r directly
	* PosixMarshal.cs: Add GetErrorDescription.  Strerror_r() isn't portable, so
	  GetErrorDescription() first tries strerror_r(), and if it fails falls back
	  to strerror(3).
	* Syscall.cs: 
	  - Seal the Dirent class.  It has no virtual members, so there's no point 
      in it being non-sealed.  Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
	  - Seal the Group class.  It has no virtual members, so there's no point 
      in it being non-sealed.  Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
	    Provide operator== and operator!=.
	  - Seal the Passwd class.  It has no virtual members, so there's no point 
      in it being non-sealed.  Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
	    Provide operator== and operator!=.
	  - Remove strerror_r() convenience overload.  This is now
	    PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription().

2004-11-12  Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* Syscall.cs: Export time-related functions (gettimeofday, settimeofday,
	  utime, utimes), mknod.

2004-11-07  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

	* PosixEnvironment.cs : csc build fix. see bug #69195.
	* PosixStream.cs : csc build fix. see bug #69196.

2004-11-05  Jonathan Pryor  <jonpryor@vt.edu>

	* PosixConvert.cs: New file; conversion functions for Mono.Posix types.
	* PosixDirectory.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
	* PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
	* PosixEnvironment.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over environment information.
	* PosixFile.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
	* PosixFileInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
	* PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over `stat'.
	* PosixGroup.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
	* PosixGroupInfo.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
	* PosixIOException.cs: New file; Exception for POSIX-generated exceptions.
	* PosixMarshal.cs: New file; utility functions for marshaling, etc.
	* PosixProcess.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over process information.
	* PosixStream.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file descriptors.
	* PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over symbolic links.
	* PosixUser.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
	* PosixUserInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
	* Stdlib.cs: New file; C standard library exports.
	* Syscall.cs: Effective re-write.  
	  - Organize exports by header file
	  - add additional enumerations (Error for the E* error values, etc.)
	  - always explicitly specify enumeration underlying type
	  - Use a new wrapping infrastructure so that ABI-stable types are exported
	  	- For example, size_t is exported as ulong, not IntPtr.
	  - Wrap more functions, and wrap them better (such as getpwnam).
	  - This release is NOT backward compatible.  Many names are the same, and
	    hopefully they're still compatible, but no effort was made to maintain
	    compatibility.  For example, FileMode was removed and replaced with
	    FilePermissions, to avoid a name conflict with System.IO.FileMode.
		- Change umount() to use MonoPosixHelper: portability fix for Mac OS X.
	* make-map.cs: Another effective re-write, to clean up the code, produce
	  better output, and produce more output.  For example, most of
	  PosixConvert can be auto-generated, so it is (modulo version delays and
	  bootstrap issues).  `map.c' is now conditional on all macros, and has
	  error checking for invalid/unsupported values.

2004-09-18  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

	* Syscall.cs: Add support for poll ().

2004-09-18  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

	* make-map.cs: Use field value not name for #defines.
		
2004-09-14  Loren Bandiera <lorenb@mmgsecurity.com>

	* Syscall.cs: Added method for getpwnam which uses Passwd
	struct.
	* macros.c: Helper function for getpwnam
	(In committing, Josh Tauberer also added getpwuid.)

2004-07-09  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

	* PeerCred.cs: Get the unix socket peer credentials.

	* Syscall.cs: Do not let the runtime handle strings, as we do not
	own those strings, we must transform the char * into a string
	ourselves.

	* Syscall.cs: Add symlink

2004-04-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

	* Syscall.cs: Use hex values for FileMode, since C# does not have
	an octal integer mode.

2004-03-30  Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>

	* Added readlink, strerror, opendir, readdir, closedir
	* Added Mono.Posix.Stat.UnixToDateTime(long unixtime) --> DateTime

	* Syscall.cs: Removed argument to getgid that shouldn't be there.
		Added getusername, getgroupname which wrap getpwuid, getgrgid
		without dealing with pointers to structures.
		Removed duplicate FileMode enum nested in Syscall class.
		Added stat and lstat, which use StatMode enumeration
		(like FileMode but nicer and complete) and Stat struct.
	* macros.c: Helper functions for getpwuid, getgrgid, stat, lstat.

	* Syscall.cs: moved the assembly attribute to a proper place
	and added 'signal.h'
	* make-map.cs: use reflection to invoke the properties, as it
	fails under MS runtime.
