2018-02-26Allow opening device files and FIFOs with file:open/2John Högberg
To the best of our knowledge this was introduced since file operations on device files/FIFO:s could hang the emulator forever back when the emulator was single-threaded and lacked IO threads; a read operation could block all progress preventing the write operation it waited for from occurring. Granted, this could still happen through starving all dirty IO schedulers, but the same issue can arise with NFS files which we've always allowed. Removing this restriction also lets us remove a stat(2) call that was added to specifically allow `/dev/null`.

2018-02-02Reword docs related to the runtime system modeXavier Noria
The existing wording may be interpreted as saying that embedded mode eager loads all modules. This revision makes clear embedded mode only disables module auto loading. Since I was on it, I have reordered a couple of places to describe interactive first, and then embedded. It feels natural to cover first the default and positive mode (auto loads), and then its negation.

2018-01-05stdlib: Let filelib:find_source() search subdirsHans Bolinder
The Design Principles states that an application can have Erlang source files one level below the "src" directory, and now filelib:find_source() by default searches one level below "src". The same applies to "esrc". That directory is only mentioned in filename(3).
2018-01-03Disallow NULs in filename-encoded stringsJohn Högberg
Previously we accepted trailing NULs, which was backwards compatible as such usage never resulted in misbehavior in the first place. The downside is that it prevented erts_native_filename_need from returning an accurate number of *actual characters*, needlessly complicating encoding-agnostic code like erts_osenv.

2017-11-30Remove doc for sendfile/5 use_threads optionJohn Högberg
The option no longer does anything; systems that lack support for non-blocking sendfile(2) will use the Erlang fallback.
2017-11-30Update file performance adviceJohn Högberg
The parts relating to drivers/ports are now obsolete, and the provided example was far noisier than it had to be; the only relevant metric is the number of calls and it's up to the user to decide how those will be reduced. One could argue for its complete removal, but I'm inclined to leave it be.

This commit also adds a check to see that all files that are part of an xi:include also have part of XML_FILES and vice versa. It also fixes any applications where this was not true.

2017-10-11Don't allow null chars in various stringsRickard Green
Various places that now reject null chars inside strings - Primitive file operations reject it in filenames. - Primitive environment variable operations reject it in names and values. - os:cmd() reject it in its input. Also '=' characters are rejected by primitive environment variable operations in environment variable names. Documentation has been updated to document null characters in these types of data as invalid. Currently these operations accept null chars at the end of strings, but that will change in the future.

query was no longer a keyword since the commit 0dc3a29744bed0b7f483ad72e19773dc0982ea50 2012-11-19. So the quotes around query, when it used as atom, no needed.
