I am removing this on the advice of a member of the Gentoo toolchain
team. It was explained to me that this doesn't offer any significant
benefits to OpenRC.
If anyone ffeels differently, please open a pull request reverting
this and adding an explanation of what it does and how to know which
functions to mark hidden in the future.
This fixes#301.
In the past, OpenRC was a hybrid of a centralized and file-scope
license/copyright structure.
I followed the instructions from the Software Freedom Law Center [1] to
convert to a Centralized structure where possible, for easier future
maintenance.

Rename the rc_conf_override function to describe its purpose better,
drop one conditional compile by making it available everywhere, and move
the call to it after the optional rc.conf.d directory is processed.
This makes it possible to override settings in rc.conf by adding a
directory @SYSCONFDIR@/rc.conf.d and putting files in this directory.
The files will be processed in lexical order, and the last setting in
these files will be used.
This fixes a compile issue. Also, it is cleaner to have the client
output error messages as opposed to having the library do this.

This looks up an option on the kernel command line. For now, itworks on
linux and returns NULL on the bsds, but we are definitely open to
patches for that side.
Openrc was quietly loading this file if it existed and this was causing
some issues, so now openrc loads the file and complains about it.
Hopefully the warning message will convince everyone to remove this file
and migrate the settings to @SYSCONFDIR@/rc.conf where they belong.
This adds a new function that allows us to override some specific rc.conf
options via the kernel cmdline aka /proc/cmdline.
This makes esp. sense in cases where a rc_parallel enabled system has boot
issues. Simply disable rc_parallel by appending rc_parallel=no to your kernel
cmdline.

Read the entire @file into the buffer and set @len to the
size of the buffer when finished. For C strings, this will
be strlen(buffer) + 1.
Don't forget to free the buffer afterwards!

We also fix bug 374899 by adding this new function.

OpenRC goes through the config and checks each option for duplicates.
Lets say we're on "rc_logger" currently and its the last option in the config
file and we previously defined rc_logger_path.
It now goes through all previous config options and compares those against the
current one "rc_logger" *but* it compares only the first N bytes, in this
case strlen("rc_logger"). So it strips the _path from "rc_logger_path" which
ends up into "rc_logger" and it compares that against the current one (also
"rc_logger"), it would then simply override the previous definition.
This patch fixes this behaviour to always compare the full option / variable
names.
Refactor rc_conf_value into librc for use in library context.
Also requires moving:
- rc_conf internal static
- Defines: PROFILE_ENV, SYS_WHITELIST, USR_WHITELIST, RC_PATH_PREFIX
moved to rc.h with new RC_ prefix added.
- Defines: RC_CONF, RC_CONF_OLD moved to rc.h.

mounting various bits in /dev and /sys.
init.sh JUST mounts /lib/rc/init.d (and /proc for Linux systems)
To make development of this easier we now return an empty RC_STRINGLIST
instead of a NULL for empty things.
If you don't have a udev init script installed, don't reboot your box OR
roll back to an older OpenRC version.
