This commit makes grep into an optargs API, with flags for extended,
fixed, [case-]insensitive and compressed.
At the same time it deprecates: egrep, fgrep, grepi, egrepi, fgrepi,
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep, zgrepi, zegrepi and zfgrepi.
The presumption is that all file descriptors should be created with
the close-on-exec flag set. The only exception are file descriptors
that we want passed through to exec'd subprocesses (mainly pipes and
stdin/stdout/stderr).
For open calls, we pass O_CLOEXEC as an extra flag, eg:
fd = open ("foo", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC);
This is a Linux-ism, but using a macro we can easily make it portable.
For sockets, similarly:
sock = socket (..., SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC, ...);
For accepted sockets, we use the Linux accept4 system call which
allows flags to be supplied, but we use the Gnulib 'accept4' module to
make this portable.
For dup, dup2, we use the Linux dup3 system call, and the Gnulib
modules 'dup3' and 'cloexec'.
Nearly every file-related function in daemons/*.c is affected:
Remove this pair of statements from each affected do_* function:
- NEED_ROOT (return -1);
- ABS_PATH (dir, return -1);
and change the type of the corresponding parameter to "const char *".
* src/generator.ml: Emit NEED_ROOT just once, even when there are two or
more Pathname args.
