/* We implement our own kill() using the undocumented system service
   sys$sigprc for one of two reasons:

   1.) If the kill() in an older CRTL uses sys$forcex, causing the
   target process to do a sys$exit, which usually can't be handled 
   gracefully...certainly not by Perl and the %SIG{} mechanism.

   2.) If the kill() in the CRTL can't be called from a signal
   handler without disappearing into the ether, i.e., the signal
   it purportedly sends is never trapped. Still true as of VMS 7.3.

   sys$sigprc has the same parameters as sys$forcex, but throws an exception
   in the target process rather than calling sys$exit.

   Note that distinguishing SIGSEGV from SIGBUS requires an extra arg
   on the ACCVIO condition, which sys$sigprc (and sys$forcex) don't
   provide.  On VMS 7.0+ this is taken care of by doing sys$sigprc
   with condition codes C$_SIG0+nsig*8, catching the exception on the 
   target process and resignaling with appropriate arguments.

   But we don't have that VMS 7.0+ exception handler, so if you
   Perl_my_kill(.., SIGSEGV) it will show up as a SIGBUS.  Oh well.

   Also note that SIGTERM is listed in the docs as being "unimplemented",
   yet always seems to be signaled with a VMS condition code of 4 (and
   correctly handled for that code).  So we hardwire it in.

   Unlike the VMS 7.0+ CRTL kill() function, we actually check the signal
   number to see if it's valid.  So Perl_my_kill(pid,0) returns -1 rather
   than signalling with an unrecognized (and unhandled by CRTL) code.

            put it into "snarf mode" (done but no EOF yet) that discards
            input.

    Output from subprocess (stdout, stderr) needs to be flushed and
    shut down.   We try sending an EOF, but if the mbx is full the pipe
    routine should still catch the "shut_on_empty" flag, telling it to
    use immediate-style reads so that "mbx empty" -> EOF.

/*
** The following routines are provided to make life easier when
** converting among VMS-style and Unix-style directory specifications.
** All will take input specifications in either VMS or Unix syntax. On
** failure, all return NULL.  If successful, the routines listed below
** return a pointer to a buffer containing the appropriately
** reformatted spec (and, therefore, subsequent calls to that routine
** will clobber the result), while the routines of the same names with
** a _ts suffix appended will return a pointer to a mallocd string
** containing the appropriately reformatted spec.
** In all cases, only explicit syntax is altered; no check is made that
** the resulting string is valid or that the directory in question
** actually exists.
**
**   fileify_dirspec() - convert a directory spec into the name of the
**     directory file (i.e. what you can stat() to see if it's a dir).
**     The style (VMS or Unix) of the result is the same as the style
**     of the parameter passed in.
**   pathify_dirspec() - convert a directory spec into a path (i.e.
**     what you prepend to a filename to indicate what directory it's in).
**     The style (VMS or Unix) of the result is the same as the style
**     of the parameter passed in.
**   tounixpath() - convert a directory spec into a Unix-style path.
**   tovmspath() - convert a directory spec into a VMS-style path.
**   tounixspec() - convert any file spec into a Unix-style file spec.
**   tovmsspec() - convert any file spec into a VMS-style spec.
**   xxxxx_utf8() - Variants that support UTF8 encoding of Unix-Style file spec.

/* VMS subprocess management
 *
 * my_vfork() - just a vfork(), after setting a flag to record that
 * the current script is trying a Unix-style fork/exec.
 *
 * vms_do_aexec() and vms_do_exec() are called in response to the
 * perl 'exec' function.  If this follows a vfork call, then they
 * call out the regular perl routines in doio.c which do an
 * execvp (for those who really want to try this under VMS).
 * Otherwise, they do exactly what the perl docs say exec should
 * do - terminate the current script and invoke a new command
 * (See below for notes on command syntax.)
 *
 * do_aspawn() and do_spawn() implement the VMS side of the perl
 * 'system' function.
 *
 * Note on command arguments to perl 'exec' and 'system': When handled
 * in 'VMSish fashion' (i.e. not after a call to vfork) The args
 * are concatenated to form a DCL command string.  If the first non-numeric
 * arg begins with '$' (i.e. the perl script had "\$ Type" or some such),
 * the command string is handed off to DCL directly.  Otherwise,
 * the first token of the command is taken as the filespec of an image
 * to run.  The filespec is expanded using a default type of '.EXE' and
 * the process defaults for device, directory, etc., and if found, the resultant
 * filespec is invoked using the DCL verb 'MCR', and passed the rest of
 * the command string as parameters.  This is perhaps a bit complicated,
 * but I hope it will form a happy medium between what VMS folks expect
 * from lib$spawn and what Unix folks expect from exec.

 * If the specified user does not exist, getpwuid and getpwnam return NULL.
 *
 * pw_uid is the full UIC (eg. what's returned by stat() in st_uid).
 * not the UIC member number (eg. what's returned by getuid()),
 * getpwuid() can accept either as input (if uid is specified, the caller's
 * UIC group is used), though it won't recognise gid=0.
 *
 * Note that in VMS it is necessary to have GRPPRV or SYSPRV to return
 * information about other users in your group or in other groups, respectively.
 * If the required privilege is not available, then these routines fill only
 * the pw_name, pw_uid, and pw_gid fields (the others point to an empty
 * string).

/* encode_dev packs a VMS device name string into an integer to allow
 * simple comparisons. This can be used, for example, to check whether two
 * files are located on the same device, by comparing their encoded device
 * names. Even a string comparison would not do, because stat() reuses the
 * device name buffer for each call; so without encode_dev, it would be
 * necessary to save the buffer and use strcmp (this would mean a number of
 * changes to the standard Perl code, to say nothing of what a Perl script
 * would have to do.
 *
 * The device lock id, if it exists, should be unique (unless perhaps compared
 * with lock ids transferred from other nodes). We have a lock id if the disk is
 * mounted cluster-wide, which is when we tend to get long (host-qualified)
 * device names. Thus we use the lock id in preference, and only if that isn't
 * available, do we try to pack the device name into an integer (flagged by
 * the sign bit (LOCKID_MASK) being set).
 *
 * Note that encode_dev cannot guarantee an 1-to-1 correspondence twixt device
 * name and its encoded form, but it seems very unlikely that we will find
 * two files on different disks that share the same encoded device names,
 * and even more remote that they will share the same file id (if the test
 * is to check for the same file).
 *
 * A better method might be to use sys$device_scan on the first call, and to
 * search for the device, returning an index into the cached array.
 * The number returned would be more intelligible.
 * This is probably not worth it, and anyway would take quite a bit longer
 * on the first call.

/*  rmscopy - copy a file using VMS RMS routines
 *
 *  Copies contents and attributes of spec_in to spec_out, except owner
 *  and protection information.  Name and type of spec_in are used as
 *  defaults for spec_out.  The third parameter specifies whether rmscopy()
 *  should try to propagate timestamps from the input file to the output file.
 *  If it is less than 0, no timestamps are preserved.  If it is 0, then
 *  rmscopy() will behave similarly to the DCL COPY command: timestamps are
 *  propagated to the output file at creation iff the output file specification
 *  did not contain an explicit name or type, and the revision date is always
 *  updated at the end of the copy operation.  If it is greater than 0, then
 *  it is interpreted as a bitmask, in which bit 0 indicates that timestamps
 *  other than the revision date should be propagated, and bit 1 indicates
 *  that the revision date should be propagated.
 *
 *  Returns 1 on success; returns 0 and sets errno and vaxc$errno on failure.
