Full Discussion: su (-) command

Old 09-10-2002
If anybody is interested, this is how I solved it on Friday...
Code:
rav=${3:+1}
var=${2:+1}
if [[ $1 = "-" ]]; then
        if [[ $rav -eq 1 ]]; then
                su-orig - $2 $3;
        else
                su-orig - $2;
        fi
else
        if [[ $var -eq 1 ]]; then
                su-orig - $1 $2;
        else
                su-orig - $1;
        fi
fi

Renamed the original su to su-orig and put this script (named su) into /usr/bin

By the way, I'm just using this temporarily, to test out a few things.. Soon we'll get sudo.

gnutls_range_split

gnutls_range_split(3)						      gnutls						     gnutls_range_split(3)

NAME

       gnutls_range_split - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_range_split(gnutls_session_t session, const gnutls_range_st * orig, gnutls_range_st * next, gnutls_range_st * remainder);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
		   is a gnutls_session_t structure

       const gnutls_range_st * orig
		   is the original range provided by the user

       gnutls_range_st * next
		   is the returned range that can be conveyed in a TLS record

       gnutls_range_st * remainder
		   is the returned remaining range

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  should  be  used  when  it  is  required  to  hide  the	length	of  very  long	data  that  cannot be directly provided to
       gnutls_record_send_range().  In that case this function should be called with the desired length hiding range in  orig . The returned  next
       value  should  then  be	used  in the next call to gnutls_record_send_range() with the partial data.  That process should be repeated until
       remainder is (0,0).

RETURNS

       0 in case splitting succeeds, non zero in case of error.  Note that  orig is not changed, while the values of  next and	remainder are mod-
       ified to store the resulting values.
