With the recent merging of embedded package imports and the entry CLI
package, it is now possible for users to build in mcl code into a single
binary. This additional permission makes it explicitly clear that this
is permitted to make it easier for those users. The condition is phrased
so that the terms can be "patched" by the original author if it's
necessary for the project. For example, if the name of the language
(mcl) changes, has a differently named new version, someone finds a
phrasing improvement or a legal loophole, or for some other
reasonable circumstance. Now go write some beautiful embedded tools!
If our machine has that pipe busy, don't panic the test. (We do want it
to fail though!)
We're also more careful to check nil object just as a convenience to
help programmers.
This ensures that docstring comments are wrapped to 80 chars. ffrank
seemed to be making this mistake far too often, and it's a silly thing
to look for manually. As it turns out, I've made it too, as have many
others. Now we have a test that checks for most cases. There are still a
few stray cases that aren't checked automatically, but this can be
improved upon if someone is motivated to do so.
Before anyone complains about the 80 character limit: this only checks
docstring comments, not source code length or inline source code
comments. There's no excuse for having docstrings that are badly
reflowed or over 80 chars, particularly if you have an automated test.
Add the ReceiveBytes, ReceiveNetlinkMessage, and ReceiveUEvent methods.
This is because not everything passed through a netlink socket cannot
reliably be parsed using the ParseNetLinkMessage function.
With the ReceiveUEvent method, we add support for "uevent" kernel
events, which updates us about the state of devices currently on the
system. To make using this method easier, we add a UEvent struct, that
has the action (what event), Devpath (where the device lives in /proc or
/sysfs), and Subsystem (what subsystem this event belows to).
