# 180076 28-Jun-2008 mtm

Modify the DoParseCommand() to work on (const char *) instead of just
(char *). This is a slightly simplified version of the patch in the PR. It
fixes compilitation issues with -O3.

# 161044 07-Aug-2006 glebius

Add line edit and history support to ngctl(8) via editline(3).

Details:
- The main thread runs editline(3) functions, that can block.
- A separate thread is launched to monitor netgraph sockets.
- The access to the descriptors is protected by a mutex. At
runtime the monitoring thread owns the mutex. When the main
thread reads a command from el_gets() it asks the monitoring
thread to release a mutex and sleep until the main thread
processes the command.

This makes ngctl(8) depend on libedit, and libpthread. Thus, the
new functionality isn't compiled in if release is being built
with -DRELEASE_CRUNCH.

Increase a socket receive buffer size. This helps 'ngctl list'
to deal with a big number of nodes.

# 125115 27-Jan-2004 ru

Get rid of all (but one in write.c) static size buffers.


# 125011 26-Jan-2004 ru

Make this WARNS=3 clean.


# 124271 09-Jan-2004 green

Add a GraphViz-exporting ngctl(8) "dot" command. You can now create
very useful .dot files of your netgraph(4) to quickly visualize the
nodes, hooks and edges. An example of this can be found here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~green/sample-netgraph-dot.ps
If anyone would like to refine the output further, please do so.


# 124130 04-Jan-2004 charnier

Use fprintf() instead of errx() when displaying usage string. The program name
will not be written twice.

Get rid of the old constants which did not include the trailing NUL
and use the new constants which do.

Usage style sweep: spell "usage" with a small 'u'.
Also change one case of blatant __progname abuse (several more remain)
This commit does not touch anything in src/{contrib,crypto,gnu}/.

# 56709 27-Jan-2000 archie

No need to try loading ng_socket.ko, as NgMkSockNode() does that
for us now if necessary.


# 53913 30-Nov-1999 archie

Add two new generic control messages, NGM_ASCII2BINARY and
NGM_BINARY2ASCII, which convert control messages to ASCII and back.
This allows control messages to be sent and received in ASCII form
using ngctl(8), which makes ngctl a lot more useful.

This also allows all the type-specific debugging code in libnetgraph
to go away -- instead, we just ask the node itself to do the ASCII
translation for us.

Currently, all generic control messages are supported, as well as
messages associated with the following node types: async, cisco,
ksocket, and ppp.

See /usr/share/examples/netgraph/ngctl for an example of using this.

Also give ngctl(8) the ability to print out incoming data and
control messages at any time. Eventually nghook(8) may be subsumed.

Several other misc. bug fixes.

If we get an EPROTONOSUPP error when trying to create the netgraph socket
node, it's most likely because the "ng_socket.ko" KLD is not loaded yet.
So make an attempt to load it before giving up.
