"Lose" means not "not win", but "loose" means "not tight".
Change "loose" to "lose" where appropriate.

* hawk/escript-add-create-and-extract:
Add type info for record fields
Remove the undocumented function escript:foldl/3
Make reltool independent of the function escript:foldl/3
Add functions to create and extract escripts
Add function zip:foldl/3 to iterate over zip archives
OTP-8521 hawk/escript-add-create-and-extract
Added function zip:foldl/3 to iterate over zip archives.
Added functions to create and extract escripts. See escript:create/2 and
escript:extract/2.
The undocumented function escript:foldl/3 has been removed. The same
functionality can be achieved with the more flexible functions
escript:extract/2 and zip:foldl/3.
Record fields has been annotated with type info. Source files as been
adapted to fit within 80 chars and trailing whitespace hasd been removed.

This is the public interface of prim_zip:open/3,
which has been used in earlier releases by both
erl_prim_loader and escript. The new function
can be used as a replacement for the undocumented
function escript:foldl/3 that is likely to be
removed without further notice.
The error handling of prim_zip:open/3 (and
prim_zip:foldl/3) has been improved in order to
better suite a public interface. For example it
could happen that a file or a zlib port could be
left open in some errors cases.
The documentation of the FileSpec parameter to
zip:create/3 has been updated to show that
file info can be explicitly specified. A FileSpec
may contain {Filename, binary(), #file_info{}}
elements. The function zip:create/3 was already
prepared to partly support this, but now after
a few minor fixes it is fully supported.

* ml/documentation_apostrophe_fix:
Correct grammatical problems in conjunction with 'its'
Change all incorrect occurrences of it's to its
OTP-8523 ml/documentation_apostrophe_fix
|
|
The documentation (*.xml) in the otp tree has a common grammatical
problem, "it's" and "its" are often interchanged. That is annoying
for some readers.
This commit consists entirely of "it's" -> "its" changes. I went
through every .xml file in the tree. If there are any remaining
bugs of this type, it's because I missed them, not because I
didn't look.

children being managed without the memory impact of which_children/1
The function which_children/1 returns a list of the child processes
currently being supervised, but it has the penalty of creating a new
list thereby consuming more memory. In low memory situations it is
often desirable to know which supervisor may have generated many
processes, but the act of discovering the culprit should not cause the
node to crash (or worse a different node if the kernel kills one
randomly). The new function count_children/1 can give an indication
of which supervisor is taxing resources the most without adding to the
burden. Rather than creating a new list, it walks the supervisor's
internal children structure using an accumulator function so that any
used memory can be incrementally collected yet the resulting count can
still be obtained.
The return result of count_children/1 is a property list of counts
containing:
- {specs, Total_Num_Child_Specs}
- {active, Num_Active_Child_Processes_Of_Supervisor_Or_Worker_Type}
- {supervisors, Num_Supervisor_Type_Children_Including_Dead_Processes}
- {workers, Num_Worker_Type_Children_Including_Dead_Processes}
This patch was made in response to mailing list discussions of the
problem diagnosing heavily taxed production systems. I cannot find
the original request, but http://www.erlang.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi/4/35060
is my original post of the patch.

prompt strings (io:get_line/{1,2}). io_lib is also updated to
format prompts with the 't' modifier (i.e. ~ts instead of ~s).

Fix three minor typos and reorder one of a pair of lists of functions so that
the ordering is consistent.

configuration parameter shell_prompt_func can be used for
customizing the Erlang shell prompt.

environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features
are added in the documentation build process.
- The arity calculation is updated.
- The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are
removed in the generated links so the links will look like
http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2
instead of
http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2
- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a
new page is loaded.
- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks
to Sergei Golovan)
- Moved some man pages to more apropriate sections, pages in
section 4 moved to 5 and pages in 6 moved to 7.
- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's
build process can be used for non OTP applications.

* sv/sys_get_status:
Teach sys:get_status/1,2 to call Mod:format_status/2
gen_fsm: Fix format_status/2 to handle Pids
OTP-8324 The ability for the gen_server and gen_fsm callback modules to
format their own state for display under the sys:get_status/1,2
calls has been restored and documented. (Thanks to Steve
Vinoski.)

In the transition from SGML to XML (several releases ago),
bugs were introduced in the documentation, for instance
"\n" replaced by newlines. Correct those bugs.
Also correct double backslashes. They seem to have been introduced very
early in the development of OTP. According to Lars they "solved" a bug
in the generation of HTML &c. Now that standard tools are used instead
of docbuilder, the bug has become visible.

Restore the ability for gen_server and gen_fsm callback
modules to format their own state for display under the
sys:get_status/1,2 calls.
This ability is extremely useful for new behavior modules
based on gen_server or gen_fsm, so that they can display
their status in a more meaningful way than just dumping
the state record. It is also generally useful for applications
wanting to display their gen_server or gen_fsm callback module
state in something other than the default manner.
Also document the previously undocumented the
gen_server:format_status/2 and gen_fsm:format_status/2 optional
callback functions that, if exported by the callback module, are
invoked when sys:get_status/1,2 are called.
Add unit tests to ensure that format_status/2 functions exported
from a gen_fsm callback module and a gen_server callback module
are called when sys:get_status/1,2 are called.
