Hi all.
I am trying to make a test using l4vfs libc backends so the three predefined file descriptors 0, 1, 2 work for
stdin, stdout and stderr correspondingly. It appears that these file descriptors are already predefined for some
purpose: when I am trying to open files like this:
// open initial file descriptors
// stdin
fd = open("/vc/vc0", O_RDONLY);
LOG("stdin: fd=%d, errno=%d", fd, errno);
// strout
fd = open("/vc/vc0", O_WRONLY);
LOG("stdout: fd=%d, errno=%d", fd, errno);
// stderr
fd = open("/vc/vc0", O_WRONLY);
LOG("stderr: fd=%d, errno=%d", fd, errno);
-- like in term_con_test example for term_con server, the 3, 4, 5 descriptors are returned from open().
If I not use term_con at all, and not open vc0 three times as above, read(0, ....); and write(1,....); works but
strangely. For example, read() returns immediately with no error and returns a single symbol (EOF, I think). But
as I tested in Linux and OS/2 operating systems, when stdin is a console, read(0,...); must block until '\n' is
returned (user pressed an Enter key).
So, it seems that the file descriptors 0, 1, 2 are reserved, but they are not working as expected. Maybe, my
setup is incorrect or something is not yet implemented?
I have a menu.lst entry like this:

I needed to relink a term_con server to an address 0x01450000 instead of the default one of 0x01400000
because the latter was the same as with simple_ts server (0x01400000 too). I was not able to use loader
server to load at other address because I needed to launch two l4vfs servers, term_con and
simple_file_server where simple_file_server serves all files through fprov_proxy file provider (I don't want to
use an extra bmodfs server to serve files for loader -- it would be an ugly decision, I think).
The 'os2server' server uses the files that were served by simple_file_server and it tries to use l4vfs servers for
reading from stdin.
My makefile looks like this:
PKGDIR ?= ../..
L4DIR ?= $(PKGDIR)/../..
TARGET = os2server
# the default relocation address. This may be superseded by a STATIC file.
DEFAULT_RELOC = 0x01800000
# list your .c files here
# os2server.c

LIBS = -los2server -lparsecmdline -lthread -lcon -lcontxt -lconstream-server
CFLAGS = -I$(PKGDIR)/include
MODE=l4env_base
include $(L4DIR)/mk/prog.mk
Maybe some libs are interfere with l4vfs ones or something like this? I suspect the l4con server libs interfere
with l4vfs libs. For example, l4con has its own getchar() implementation but in uCLibc this function is
implemented through l4vfs backends. When I am trying to use getchar() or scanf() functions, I see that read()
function is called behind the scenes, and it don't get blocked until Enter is pressed.
So, any help is appreciated.
WBR,
valery
