FSPLIB 0.9

FSPLIB project is implementation of an FSP (file service protocol) stack written in C.
The library API is very easy to use because it is modeled after the POSIX API. You can use this library for adding FSP support to any C/C++ program.
Building:
This software can be builded by Scons or by GNU Autotools. Scons building and installing method is prefered. If you want to use autotools, you must create ./configure first by
running autoreconf -i.
Scons building:
run: scons [options] [install]
for building/installing the library and header file. Unlike Autotools
you must add build-time configure options to install target also.
Build time configuration:
At build time you can configure locking subsystem. There are two lock configuration options.
Note:
Scons do not uses leading -- before option names. Example: scons with-lockprefix=/tmp/.FSPL install
--with-lockprefix=path
Set lock prefix path to (default /tmp/.FSPL). Most users do not
need to change it.
--with-locking=none/semop/lockf
Configure type of locking subsytem used. FSP library support currently
3 types of locking subsystem.
none - no locking used
lockf - use lockf on lock file
semop - use Sys V shared memory and semaphore. Lock file will be still created because of use of ftok, but no locking is done on this file -> it can be on shared filesystem.
--prefix=/path
Where to install builded library and header file. Standard option.
--enable-maintainer-mode=yes
Compile with more debug code inside
Enhancements:
- This release fixes three buffer overflows exploitable by the FSP server.
- Strings sent by the FSP server are now checked for terminators before use.
