Errata

arp
We've updated the documentation to reflect the currant usage message.
cam-optical.so
We've corrected the syntax of the retries and translation options.
devc-con, devc-con-hid, devc-par, devc-serpci
These drivers are for x86 targets only.
devc-serzscc
This driver is for PPCBE and x86 targets only.
devn-*
Legacy io-net drivers create entries under /dev/io-net, not under /dev/io-pkt.
devn-el509.so, devn-sis9.so
You can use these drivers with any variant of io-pkt, not just io-pkt-v4.
devnp-i82544.so
  • The default for the irq_thresh option is 9000.
  • The default for the transmit option is 4096.
  • This driver doesn't support the promiscuous option; the only way to enable promiscuous mode is by issuing an ioctl() command.
devnp-mpc85xx.so, devnp-mpcsec.so
These drivers are shipped only with the BSPs that need them.
dhcp.client
We've updated the documentation to reflect the currant usage message.
dloader
We've updated the description of QNX_TARGET.
enum-devices
When specifying a device, vend should actually be ven.
fs-qnx6.so
We've corrected the description of the sync option.
/etc/inetd.conf
A server doesn't need to explicitly leave the master socket open when it exits.
ld
We've corrected the description of the LD_PRELOAD environment variable.
ldrel
The -S option adds a note that specifies the maximum (not minimum) stack size. If you don't specify -L, the stack is specified as non-lazy.
mkifs
We've removed a reference to vmware.boot, which we no longer ship.
ntomulti-* variants
We've removed references to the ntomulti-* variants (which we no longer ship) of addr2line, ar, gprof, nm, objcopy, objdump, size, strings, and strip.
pf
Although the NetBSD documentation talks about ioctl(), you should use ioctl_socket() instead in your packet-filtering code. With the microkernel message-passing architecture, ioctl() calls that have pointers embedded in them need to be handled specially. The ioctl_socket() function will default to ioctl() for functionality that doesn't require special handling.
pppd
Some of the options aren't specific to QNX Neutrino, but aren't described in the NetBSD documentation.
uesh
Starting in QNX SDP 6.4.0, uesh can accept a script file as an argument. The micro-embedded shell doesn't support filename expansion, so * and ? aren't special characters.
