2023-01-07sfeed.5: remove a caveat in the file format man pageHiltjo Posthuma
It is a caveat while parsing the data in the sfeed(1) program. Keep it described in the sfeed(1) man page.

2022-07-17sfeed_curses: cleanup code for handling read items from an URL fileHiltjo Posthuma
This makes it easier to reuse the code from reading plain-text list of items from a file and uses a struct urls to keep its state in a cleaner way. + some small code-style improvements and reshuffling. Inspired by a question from NRK by mail about implementing a "read later" feature. (A quick local experiment shows it can be done in ~70 lines of added code).
2022-07-05remove __dead codeNRK
this check is already done in util.h and is no longer needed after the `sfeed_curses -> sfeed` merge.
2022-07-05sfeed_curses: write out plumbercmd argument in a verbose mannerHiltjo Posthuma
Write it in a more verbose, clear and C90-style manner. This workarounds a bug in scc too (reported upstream and will be fixed of course). All tools in sfeed can now be compiled with minicurses-mode with the scc compiler and musl libc without any modifications needed. scc: http://www.simple-cc.org/

2022-06-18README: add setsid exampleHiltjo Posthuma
2022-06-06themes: simplify empty macros, remove do { } while(0)Hiltjo Posthuma
Multiple function calls should still be nested in a do { } while(0), but this is hopefully obvious looking at the other lines. While testing, gcc with -O0 created the same binary. clang added a single jmp instruction.
2022-06-05sfeed_curses: processexit(): remove unneeded code for non-interactive processesHiltjo Posthuma
This was used in commit a58fa45f25da4f18d7b8c1a815884f67b965406f and previous, but the code for non-interactive process cleanup was later removed, so clearing the struct is not not needed anymore, because it is unused.
2022-05-31README: fix bug in an example for counting the new items of the last dayHiltjo Posthuma
This should not use the plain-text URL file ($SFEED_URL_FILE).
2022-05-31minicurses.h: remove unneeded includeHiltjo Posthuma
In the past there was an ioctl() call in setupterm(), so this include is not needed anymore.

2022-05-19README: make sure sfeed_update errors don't write to stderrHiltjo Posthuma
It would mess up the output since the progress bar writes to stderr aswell.

Do not restart the syscall waitpid, explicitly mention not setting SA_RESTART.
2022-05-07sfeed_curses: interrupt waitpid while interactive child program is runningHiltjo Posthuma
This now handles SIGTERM on sfeed_curses properly while an interactive child program is running. Test-case program: https://git.codemadness.org/sfeed_tests/commit/cd4268d4f71b5d7ab0df593d95e70188475d76bb.html
2022-05-05sfeed_curses: close stdin for spawning a plumb program in non-interactive modeHiltjo Posthuma
This is only for plumbing in non-interactive mode in forkexec(), but not piping content. Probably obvious what the descriptors are, but also add a few comments to dup2 of the file descriptors (stdin, stdout, stderr). To reproduce a behaviour: Plumb script: #!/bin/sh dmenu Then launch it: SFEED_PLUMB_INTERACTIVE=0 SFEED_PLUMB=thescript sfeed_curses ~/.sfeed/feeds/* The program now waits on input while in non-interactive mode and only seems to hang. After: The program starts but just has no input passed to it.
2022-05-04sfeed_curses.1: more details about signals and (non-)interactive programsHiltjo Posthuma
- SIGINT: reword, canceling the line editor is the exception. - Document the order of signal handling. - Document interactive and non-interactive behaviour in a separate section and in more detail. Remove repetition for each *_INTERACTIVE environment variable. - Document SIGINT and SIGTERM exit status. - Typo: "statusbar" -> "status bar". - Reword a few sentences. With additional changes and feedback from adc, thanks!

2022-04-10sfeed_curses.1: fix typo: automaticly -> automaticallyHiltjo Posthuma

2022-04-02bump version to 1.4Hiltjo Posthuma
2022-04-02sfeed_curses: code-style: mouse mode: just use a constantHiltjo Posthuma
No functional change intended. Just slightly more clear.
2022-04-02sfeed_curses: line editor: handle SIGCHLD directlyHiltjo Posthuma
This makes sure when processes exit they are reaped immediately (instead of after closing the line editor).
2022-04-02sfeed_curses: line editor, temporarily disable the mouse when using the line ↵Hiltjo Posthuma
editor This allows pasting in the terminal and also doesnt spam mouse events, which are not useful here.
2022-04-01sfeed_curses: don't use bitmasks to keep the states for signalsHiltjo Posthuma
Reported by Leon Fisher, thanks! "Each signal should have its own sig_atomic_t variable if you want to keep state for all of them independently." A similar issue was referenced in a OpenBSD tech mailinglist thread: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=162940120614641&w=2

2022-04-01sfeed_curses: improve multiple signal handlingHiltjo Posthuma
Keep a bitmask of the received signals and handle them all. Also handle them in a particular order now.
2022-03-31sfeed_curses: improve waiting on processes and reaping themHiltjo Posthuma
- Wait on the exact process id and get its status. - Handle SIGCHLD explicitly and reap zombie children: ignoring them by using sigaction(SIGCHLD, &sa, NULL); would be racy in this case because sfeed_curses has interactive and non-interactive programs. Note while testing: if the markread program would be slow and in the meantime a plumb process would exit. This signal is now pending and is a zombie process until the SIGCHLD signal can be processed. This is fine. This also fixes a regression from commit 30a70fa2dab1925b0eaea04f67e3f86b360386dd because SIGCHLD was ignored in the parent for interactive processes aswell. This broke reading the exit status of the markread program, reproducable by plumbing an item and then trying to mark it as read (with SFEED_URL_FILE set).
2022-03-31sfeed.c: rm ctype.h its not neededHiltjo Posthuma
2022-03-29sfeed.1: add an example to convert to UTF-8 using iconvHiltjo Posthuma
2022-03-29compatibility: reduce the assumption the builtin libc locale is ASCII-compatibleHiltjo Posthuma
This is not clearly defined by the C99 standard. Define ctype-like macros to force it to be ASCII / UTF-8 (not extended ASCII or something like noticed on OpenBSD 3.8). (In practise modern libc libraries are all ASCII and UTF-8-compatible. Otherwise this would break many programs)
2022-03-28compatibility: replace iscntrl with own ISCNTRL macroHiltjo Posthuma
It is unspecified if the C locale iscntrl is compatible with ASCII or not. Noticed when testing on OpenBSD 3.8 which uses extended ASCII and also uses the C1 range for control-characters. This breaks support with UTF-8. Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes#C1_control_codes_for_general_use C1 table. Force an own definition of an ASCII-compatible control-character range since sfeed expects input to be UTF-8 (or converted from iconv) and so output to be UTF-8 aswell.
2022-03-28sfeed_curses: fix-up from previous commit: properly initialize struct sigactionHiltjo Posthuma
2022-03-28sfeed_curses: ignore SIGCHLD only for non-interactive programsHiltjo Posthuma
This is a regression from the introduced change. Else wait(&status) returned -1 and status was uninitialized. The status of the returned program in the markread() function is used to visually show it as read/unread. If the program failed it is assumed the program could not mark it and so it is visually unchanged. Just to be sure also initialize status to -1 (which can never happen normally) since the exitstatus range is 0-255. https://man.openbsd.org/wait#ERRORS [ECHILD]: "No status from the terminated child process is available because the calling process has asked the system to discard such status by ignoring the signal SIGCHLD or setting the flag SA_NOCLDWAIT for that signal."
2022-03-28sfeed_update: change return to exit in mainHiltjo Posthuma
Pedantic change: Make main more consistent since other functions in it exit too and main is not supposed to return or used like that.
2022-03-28update documentation of sfeed_update example and clarify return statusHiltjo Posthuma
Change the example to reload the feeds anyway, even if one of the feeds (temporarily) failed to update.
2022-03-27sfeed_curses: remove unneeded ctype.h includeHiltjo Posthuma
2022-03-27Revert "rm sys/types.h include and improve portability"Hiltjo Posthuma
This reverts commit db1dcafd03997127f2cbc82376e2cc8df9b77356. This is needed. Tested on an (old) Slackware 11 install.
