Describe how to use the two new context and unified format options in
the diff utility. Also change the example comparison of two files so
they contain more lines as that is much more interesting (and useful).
This small utility is something we probably needed for a very long
time - a way to print memory statistics in an elegant manner.
This utility opens /sys/kernel/memstat, reads it and decode the values
into human readable entries, possibly even into human-readable sizes.
Use LibCore ArgsParser to parse the parameters instead of using the raw
strings from the argv (Main::Arguments) array.
Also, use indicative names for variables in the code so the utility code
is more understandable.
This change was a long time in the making ever since we obtained sample
rate awareness in the system. Now, each client has its own sample rate,
accessible via new IPC APIs, and the device sample rate is only
accessible via the management interface. AudioServer takes care of
resampling client streams into the device sample rate. Therefore, the
main improvement introduced with this commit is full responsiveness to
sample rate changes; all open audio programs will continue to play at
correct speed with the audio resampled to the new device rate.
The immediate benefits are manifold:
- Gets rid of the legacy hardware sample rate IPC message in the
non-managing client
- Removes duplicate resampling and sample index rescaling code
everywhere
- Avoids potential sample index scaling bugs in SoundPlayer (which have
happened many times before) and fixes a sample index scaling bug in
aplay
- Removes several FIXMEs
- Reduces amount of sample copying in all applications (especially
Piano, where this is critical), improving performance
- Reduces number of resampling users, making future API changes (which
will need to happen for correct resampling to be implemented) easier
I also threw in a simple race condition fix for Piano's audio player
loop.
Previously, the `-p` option printed the path of the file being
processed before any strings for that file. The `-f` prints the file
path before each string . This matches the behavior of strings on
Linux and FreeBSD.
If more than one file is specified on the command line and the `-L`
option is used, the totals field will show the longest line
encountered; it is not a sum like the other values.
The intention for this utility is to eventually become a general-purpose
multimedia conversion tool like ffmpeg (except probably not with as many
supported formats, stream mappings and filters). For now, we can not
write any video format so the added complexity is not necessary at the
moment.
Update the Assistant manpage with instructions on how to run a command
in Terminal. Reflect this to the Assistant section in Tips-and-Tricks.
Also add instructions for launching applications with arguments.
Several differences here:
- Passing `-q` multiple times will add them together, instead of the
last one overwriting the previous ones.
- `-q` PIDs can be separated by commas as well as spaces.
- We check that the PIDs are integers while parsing the arguments,
instead of later on.
The "parse a list of things as an option" is extracted into a helper
function, because we're going to want the same logic for `-g`, `-G`,
`-p`, `-t`, `-u`, and `-U`.

Where an arrow is indicated by -> turn it into an actual arrow →
(U+2192 Rightwards Arrow). This looks much neater.
Inspired by Notion doing this automatically when you type "->".
I've made various corrections: fixing grammatical errors, removing
unnecessary or adding-in missing spaces. Made the style of references
to menu items more consistent. Generally I've tried to make the pages
read better. Terminal has had more adjustment than the others as its
Settings were recently changed and the man page now reflects this.
This adds information about the user owning the process to our netstat
output. We do not fully match the behaviour of Linux as we don't show
an inode information.
This program has never lived up to its original idea, and has been
broken for years (property editing, etc). It's also unmaintained and
off-by-default since forever.
At this point, Inspector is more of a maintenance burden than a feature,
so this commit removes it from the system, along with the mechanism in
Core::EventLoop that enables it.
If we decide we want the feature again in the future, it can be
reimplemented better. :^)
