09/23/87 audit_ Known errors in the current release of audit_. # Associated TR's Description 55 phx19369 audit_ modes operation should always get the modes from the audited switch, even when the input mode string only contains audit_* modes. 54 phx18082 When using an audit file with size = N, a single iox_$put_chars of more than N records fails when audit_ attempts to store the audit entry (audit_ loops infinitely). 53 phx17740 "ata;daf" gets an audit_file_position_ error. 51 phx14134 Attempting to set a mode when auditing is suspended causes audit_ to report an error directly, rather than just return an error code. 50 phx14207, phx18196 attach_audit silently leaves one at a new command level when an RQO is encountered setting up the audit file. 48 phx17285 audit_ detach can exit with IPS signals masked. 46 , phx15947 daf gets size condition when displaying metering data. 45 phx15870, phx15879 attach_audit doesn't generate sufficiently unique switch names, invocations in rapid succession cause it to try and use the same switch. 42 phx14441 Setting ^audit_suspend should have no effect if auditing is not suspended. 35 phx12131 audit_attach doesn't work on zero-length audit files. 34 phx12044 audit_use_editor_prompt mode can no longer be turned off via the modes operation. 28 phx02985 Strings used by -fm -to -next -last -match are interpreted as qedx expressions, this isn't mentioned in any of the documentation. 27 phx02985 The error codes returned by search_file_ are not converted into meaningful error messages for the user. Code 1 returned by search_file_ in audit_file_position_ are erroneously converted into error_table_$nomatch. Code 2 returned by search_file in daf is 25 phx11796 Attempt to attach_audit with an audit file on an unattached logical file causes an OOB. 24 phx11785 No documentation of what happens when an unrecognized audit_ request is provided. (The entire line including the bogus audit request is simply passed through, like a normal line of input.) 22 phx10278 If the pathname for the output file for daf is bad, daf gets an ios_error. 21 phx09948 audit_ has a bad interaction with pl1 IO, only in absentee. 20 phx09525, phx09540 daf doesn't identify which argument is unacceptable. 19 phx09645 audit should translate arguments to -class to upper class and validate them for rectitude. 17 phx08730 !r (audit replay request) seems to cause an ios_error when a replayed line is filled out to greater than 128 characters and passed to listen_. 14 daf doesn't close the vfile when doing an -of. 12 phx03788 Large audit files cause daf and the editor to loop. Audit_file_position_ loses. 11 phx03788 Random reference to word in page 119 of audit files when records used is much smaller "(e.g., 19)". 10 phx03788 detach_audit should set the bit count on the audit file. 9 phx06855 ata -of foo responds with error_table_$argerr instead of bad_opt. 8 phx08138 When an audit file becomes an MSF, audit_ gets a bounds fault and the audit file is unuseable. This may have something to do with transparent mode. 7 phx08303 truncating an audit file causes the audit file to become an MSF with a bogus size, after its next use. 6 daf trims trailing whitespace from entries when displaying them. 5 phx03788, phx07213 nonexistent error codes are referenced, daf references duparg and audit_file_position_ references incompatible_operaitions. 4 phx07322 Empty audit filescan't be daf'ed (ata;daf loops) 3 -tc arg to attach_audit trashes audit file. 2 audit editor request parsing mishandles extra blanks. 1 daf prefixes output with a blank. ----------------------------------------------------------- Historical Background This edition of the Multics software materials and documentation is provided and donated to Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Group BULL including BULL HN Information Systems Inc. as a contribution to computer science knowledge. This donation is made also to give evidence of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems Inc., Honeywell BULL Inc., Groupe BULL and BULL HN Information Systems Inc. to the development of this operating system. Multics development was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC (1963-1970), renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership of Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the best software architecture for managing computer hardware properly and for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems incorporated Multics principles. Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc., as successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and Honeywell Information Systems Inc. . ----------------------------------------------------------- Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute these programs and their documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted,provided that the below copyright notice and historical background appear in all copies and that both the copyright notice and historical background and this permission notice appear in supporting documentation, and that the names of MIT, HIS, BULL or BULL HN not be used in advertising or publicity pertaining to distribution of the programs without specific prior written permission.
