Core::Directory represents an existing directory on the system, and it
holds an actual file descriptor so that the user can be sure the
directory stays in existence.
This functionality is required by Core::LocalServer and LibIPC depends
on LibCore.
take_over_accepted_socket_from_system_server has also been renamed to
take_over_socket_from_system_server as the socket need not be accepted
before taking it over. :^)
This adds the Core::Group C++ abstraction to ease interaction with the
group entry database, as well as represent the Group entry.
Core::Group abstraction currently contains the following functionality:
- Add a group entry - 'Core::Group::add_group()'
The Serenity Stream API is the name for the new set of classes intended
to replace IODevice and its descendants. It provides more flexibility
for subclasses by allowing each subclass to override all the possible
functionalities according to their wishes.
Stream is the base class which implements majority of the functionality
expected from a readable and writable stream. SeekableStream adds
seeking on top, and provides a couple utility methods which derive from
seek. Socket adds a couple of BSD socket utility functions such as
checking whether there is data available to read and checking the
pending bytes on the socket.
As for the concrete classes, there is File which is a SeekableStream and
is intended to operate on file-like objects; and TCPSocket, UDPSocket
and LocalSocket, which handle TCP, UDP and UNIX sockets respectively.
The concrete classes do not do buffering by default. For buffering
functionality, a set of augmentative classes named BufferedSeekable and
BufferedSocket have been implemented, intended to wrap a SeekableStream
and a Socket, respectively.
With this change, System::foo() becomes Core::System::foo().
Since LibCore builds on other systems than SerenityOS, we now have to
make sure that wrappers work with just a standard C library underneath.
We have a few places where we read secrets into memory, and then
do some computation on them. In these cases we should always make
sure we zero the allocations before they are free'd.
The SecureString wrapper provides this abstraction by wrapping a
ByteBuffer and calling explicit_bzero on destruction of the object.
`ArgsParser` and `AboutDialog` had the same procedure to read the
version from `/res/version.ini`. Now they use the `SERENITY_VERSION`
string by default.
This commit refactored the version-reading utility to the new
`Core::Version` namespace.
This is a simple wrapper around posix_spawn() that will help us simplify
a bunch of very verbose posix_spawn() invocations.
This first version only supports the simplest case: executing an
executable without passing arguments or doing anything fancy. More
features can be added to cover more cases. :^)
This commit removes the only 3rd party library (and its usages)
in serenity: puff, which is used for deflate decompression. and
replaces it with the existing original serenity implementation
in LibCompress. :^)
This wrapper abstracts the watch_file setup and file handling, and
allows using the watch_file events as part of the event loop via the
Core::Notifier class.
Also renames the existing DirectoryWatcher class to BlockingFileWatcher,
and adds support for the Modified mode in this class.
