+ *  \brief Source: file locking
+ *  \author Adam Byrtek
+ *  \date 2003
+ *
+ *  Locking scheme is based on a documentation found
+ *  in JED editor sources. Abstract from lock.c file (by John E. Davis):
+ *
+ *  The basic idea here is quite simple.  Whenever a buffer is attached to
+ *  a file, and that buffer is modified, then attempt to lock the
+ *  file. Moreover, before writing to a file for any reason, lock the
+ *  file. The lock is really a protocol respected and not a real lock.
+ *  The protocol is this: If in the directory of the file is a
+ *  symbolic link with name ".#FILE", the FILE is considered to be locked
+ *  by the process specified by the link.

+     * mc_search__g_regex_match_full_safe() are going to fail us. The former by

+     * UTF-8 with NULs.
+     *
+     * To do this, we specify "ASCII" as the charset.

+     * In fact, we can specify any charset other than "UTF-8": any such charset
+     * will trigger G_REGEX_RAW (see [1]). The output of [2] will be the same
+     * for all charsets because it skips the \xXX symbols
+     * mc_search__hex_translate_to_regex() outputs.
+     *
+     * But "ASCII" is the best choice because a hex pattern may contain a
+     * quoted string: this way we know [2] will ignore any characters outside
+     * ASCII letters range (these ignored chars will be copied verbatim to the
+     * output and will match as-is; in other words, in a case-sensitive manner;
+     * If the user is interested in case-insensitive searches of international
+     * text, he shouldn't be using hex search in the first place.)
+     *
+     * Switching out of UTF-8 has another advantage:
+     *
+     * When doing case-insensitive searches, GLib treats \xXX symbols as normal
+     * letters and therefore matches both "a" and "A" for the hex pattern
+     * "0x61". When we switch out of UTF-8, we're switching to using [2], which
+     * doesn't have this issue.

+   If there is a difference return that difference.
+   Otherwise discard the prefixes and continue with the next step.
+

+   Otherwise discard the prefixes and continue with the next step.
+
+   3. If both strings are empty, return 0.  Otherwise continue with step 1.

+   value (0-255), except that:
+
+   1. ASCII letters sort before other bytes.

+
+   1. The empty string.
+   2. ".".
+   3. "..".
+   4. Strings starting with "." sort before other strings.
+
+   Before comparing two strings where both begin with non-".", or where both begin with "."
+   but neither is "." or "..", suffixes matching the C-locale extended regular expression
+   (\.[A-Za-z~][A-Za-z0-9~]*)*$ are removed and the strings compared without them, using version sort
+   without special priority; if they do not compare equal, this comparison result is used and
+   the suffixes are effectively ignored. Otherwise, the entire strings are compared using version sort.

+ *  \brief Source: additional keyboard support routines
+ *
+ * PURPOSE:
+ *   We would like to support the direct ALT-?/META-? and some other 'extra'
+ *   keyboard functionality provided by some terminals under some OSes (and
+ *   not supported by the 'learn keys...' facility of 'mc'.
+ *   (First target platform: QNX.)
+ *
+ * REMARK:
+ *
+ *   Implementation strategy: we don't want to rely on a specific terminal
+ *   information database management API (termcap,terminfo,SLang,...), so we
+ *   try to define a superset of the possible key identifiers here.

+Intended audience
+=================
+
+This document is intended for everybody who wants to understand VFS
+code.  Knowledge of programming is a must.
+
+
+Preface
+=======
+
+While VFS should be considered an excellent idea, which came ahead of
+its time, the implementation used in GNU Midnight Commander is now
+showing its age.
+
+The VFS code was left us without any decent documentation.  Most
+functions don't have comments explaining what they do.  Most comments
+describe quirks and implementation details, rather than the intended
+functionality of the code.  This document is an attempt to reconstruct
+understanding of the VFS code and help its future developers.
+
+Being the part of GNU Midnight Commander most exposed to potential
+security threats, the VFS code needs to be kept is a good shape. 
+Understanding the code is the key to making and keeping it secure.
+
+
+Basics of code organization
+===========================
+
+VFS code it to a certain extent object oriented.  The code dealing with
+a certain type of data (e.g. tar archives) can be thought
+of as a class in the terms of object oriented programming.  They may
+reuse some code from their parent classes.  For instance, tar and cpio
+archives have a common parent class direntry, which contains some common
+code for archives.
+
+Individual archives or connections can be considered as instances of
+those classes.  They provide POSIX like interface to their structure,
+but don't expose that structure directly to the common VFS layer.
+
+Each VFS object has a directory tree associated with it.  The tree
+consists of entries for files and directories.  In some VFS classes, the
+entries have names and a are associated with nameless inodes, which
+contain information such as size, timestamps and other data normally
+contained in POSIX "struct stat".
+
+File vfs.c serves as a multiplexor.  It exports functions similar to
+POSIX but with "mc_" prepended to them.  For example, mc_open() will act
+like open(), but will treat VFS names in a special way.
+
+Common utility functions not intended to be used outside the VFS code
+should go to utilvfs.c and possibly to other files.  Presently, there is
+a lot of such code in vfs.c.
+
+
+Hierarchy of classes
+====================
+
+vfs ---- direntry ---- cpio  } archives
+   |            | ---- tar   }
+   |            |
+   |            | ---- fish  } remote systems
+   |            | ---- ftpfs }
+   |
+   |---- extfs ---- extfs archives
+   |---- localfs ---- sfs ---- sfs archives
+   |---- undelfs
+
+
+Properties of classes

+                   read only    inode->entry   local cache   full tree
+                                mapping                      loaded
+
+cpio               yes*         yes*           no            yes
+tar                yes*         yes*           no            yes
+fish               no           yes            yes           no
+ftpfs              no           yes            yes           no
+extfs              no           no             yes           yes
+localfs            no           no             N/A           N/A
+sfs                no           yes            yes           N/A
+undelfs            no           yes            no            yes
+
+
+"*" means that this property should change during further development.
+Mapping from inode to entry prevents implementing hard links.  It is
+permissible for directories, which cannot be hardlinked.  Not loading
+the full tree speeds up access to large archives and conserves memory.
+
+
+Stamping
+========
+
+Stamping is the VFS equivalent of garbage collection.  It's purpose is
+to destroy unreferenced VFS objects, in other words close archives or
+connections once they are unused for some time.  There is a tree of
+items representing VFS objects.  The common layer doesn't know the
+structure of the pointers, but it knows the class that should handle the
+pointer.  Every item has a timestamp.  Once the timestamp becomes too
+old, the object is freed.
+
+There are ways to keep objects alive if they are used.  Also, objects
+can have parent objects, which are freed together with there original
+object if they are otherwise unreferenced.

+NOTE: Although vfs has been meant to be implemented as a separate
+entity redistributable under the LGPL in its current implementation it
+uses GPLed code from src/. So there are two possibilities if you want
+to use vfs:
+
+1. Distribute your copy of vfs under the GPL. Then you can freely
+include the GPLed functions from the rest of the mc source code.
+
+2. Distribute your copy of vfs under the LGPL. Then you cannot include
+the functions outside the vfs subdirectory. You must then either
+rewrite them or work around them in other ways.
+
+========================================================================
+
+Hi!
+
+I'm midnight commander's vfs layer. Before you start hacking me,
+please read this file. I'm integral part of midnight commander, but I
+try to go out and live my life myself as a shared library, too. That
+means that I should try to use as little functions from midnight as
+possible (so I'm tiny, nice and people like me), that I should not
+pollute name space by unnecessary symbols (so I do not crash fellow
+programs) and that I should have a clean interface between myself and
+midnight.
+
+Because I'm rather close to midnight, try to:
+
+* Keep the indentation as the rest of the code. Following could help
+you with your friend emacs:
+
+(defun mc-c-mode ()
+	"C mode with adjusted defaults for use with the Midnight commander."
+	(interactive)
+	(c-mode)
+	(c-set-style "K&R")
+	(setq	c-indent-level 4
+		c-continued-statement-offset 4
+		c-brace-offset 0
+		c-argdecl-indent 4
+		c-label-offset -4
+		c-brace-imaginary-offset 0
+		c-continued-brace-offset 0
+		c-tab-always-indent nil
+		c-basic-offset 4
+		tab-width 8
+		comment-column 60))
+
+(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '(".*/mc/.*\\.[ch]$" . mc-c-mode)
+                       auto-mode-alist))
+
+And because I'm trying to live life on my own as libvfs.so, try to:
+
+* Make sure all exported symbols are defined in vfs.h and begin with
+'vfs_'.
+
+* Do not make any references from midnight into modules like tar. It
+would probably pollute name space and midnight would depend on concrete
+configuration of libvfs. mc_setctl() and mc_ctl() are your
+friends. (And mine too :-).
+

+
+PS: If you'd like to use my features in whole operating system, you
+might want to link me to rpc.nfsd. On
+http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/podfuk/podfuk.html you'll find
+how to do it.
+
+PPS: I have a friend, shared library called avfs, which is LD_PRELOAD
+capable. You can reach her at http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/avfs.

+/** \file
+ *  \brief Source: directory cache support
+ *
+ *  So that you do not have copy of this in each and every filesystem.
+ *
+ *  Very loosely based on tar.c from midnight and archives.[ch] from
+ *  avfs by Miklos Szeredi (mszeredi@inf.bme.hu)
+ *
+ *  Unfortunately, I was unable to keep all filesystems
+ *  uniform. tar-like filesystems use tree structure where each
+ *  directory has pointers to its subdirectories. We can do this
+ *  because we have full information about our archive.
+ *
+ *  At ftp-like filesystems, situation is a little bit different. When
+ *  you cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/char, you do _not_ want /usr,
+ *  /usr/src, /usr/src/linux and /usr/src/linux/drivers to be
+ *  listed. That means that we do not have complete information, and if
+ *  /usr is symlink to /4, we will not know. Also we have to time out
+ *  entries and things would get messy with tree-like approach. So we
+ *  do different trick: root directory is completely special and
+ *  completely fake, it contains entries such as 'usr', 'usr/src', ...,
+ *  and we'll try to use custom find_entry function.

+ * The garbage collection mechanism is based on "stamps".
+ *
+ * A stamp is a record that says "I'm a filesystem which is no longer in
+ * use. Free me when you get a chance."
+ *
+ * This file contains a set of functions used for managing this stamp. You
+ * should use them when you write your own filesystem. Here are some rules
+ * of thumb:
+ *
+ * (1) When the last open file in your filesystem gets closed, conditionally
+ *     create a stamp. You do this with vfs_stamp_create(). (The meaning
+ *     of "conditionally" is explained below.)
+ *
+ * (2) When a file in your filesystem is opened, delete the stamp. You do
+ *     this with vfs_rmstamp().
+ *
+ * (3) When a path inside your filesystem is invoked, call vfs_stamp() to
+ *     postpone the free'ing of your filesystem a bit. (This simply updates
+ *     a timestamp variable inside the stamp.)
+ *
+ * Additionally, when a user navigates to a new directory in a panel (or a
+ * programmer uses mc_chdir()), a stamp is conditionally created for the
+ * previous directory's filesystem. This ensures that that filesystem is
+ * free'ed. (see: _do_panel_cd() -> vfs_release_path(); mc_chdir()).
+ *
+ * We've spoken here of "conditionally creating" a stamp. What we mean is
+ * that vfs_stamp_create() is to be used: this function creates a stamp
+ * only if no directories are open (aka "active") in your filesystem. (If
+ * there _are_ directories open, it means that the filesystem is in use, in
+ * which case we don't want to free it.)
