Hi,
I was doing some reading and came across a few things in
autoconf.c:
int
mbprint(auxp, pnp)
void *auxp;
char *pnp;
{
if (pnp)
printf("%s at %s", (char *)auxp, pnp);
return(UNCONF);
}
Doesn't seem to be called from anywhere.
int
matchname(fp, sp)
char *fp, *sp;
{
int len;
len = strlen(fp);
if (strlen(sp) != len)
return(0);
if (bcmp(fp, sp, len) == 0)
return(1);
return(0);
}
Seems to be nothing more than a strcmp() returning true or false.
Am I wrong? Why was this implemented like this?
It looks like some cleanup is in order.
