TSystem

 Create a new OS interface.

 Delete the OS interface.

 Initialize the OS interface.

 Set the application name (from command line, argv[0]) and copy it in
 gProgName.

 Set DISPLAY environment variable based on utmp entry. Only for UNIX.

 Set the system error string. This string will be used by GetError().
 To be used in case one does not want or can use the system error
 string (e.g. because error is generated by a third party POSIX like
 library that does not use standard errno).

 Return system error string.

 Static function returning system error number.

 Static function resetting system error number.

 Objects that should be deleted on exit of the OS interface.

 Return the system's host name.

 Beep for duration milliseconds with a tone of freqency freq.
 Defaults to printing the '\a' character to stdout.
 If freq or duration is <0 respectively, use default value.
 If setDefault is set, only set the frequency and duration as
 new defaults, but don't beep.
 If default freq or duration is <0, never beep (silence)

 System event loop.

 Exit from event loop.

 Inner event loop.

 Process pending events (GUI, timers, sockets). Returns the result of
 TROOT::IsInterrupted(). The interrupt flag (TROOT::SetInterrupt())
 can be set during the handling of the events. This mechanism allows
 macros running in tight calculating loops to be interrupted by some
 GUI event (depending on the interval with which this method is
 called). For example hitting ctrl-c in a canvas will set the
 interrupt flag.

 Dispatch a single event.

 the handler or 0 if the handler was not in the list of signal handlers.

 Add a file handler to the list of system file handlers. Only adds
 the handler if it is not already in the list of file handlers.

 Remove a file handler from the list of file handlers. Returns
 the handler or 0 if the handler was not in the list of file handlers.

 If reset is true reset the signal handler for the specified signal
 to the default handler, else restore previous behaviour.

 If ignore is true ignore the specified signal, else restore previous
 behaviour.

 If ignore is true ignore the interrupt signal, else restore previous
 behaviour. Typically call ignore interrupt before writing to disk.

 path or the current directory.
 If 'name' contains any ACLiC style information (e.g. trailing +[+][g|O]),
 it will be striped off 'name'.
 If fullpath is != 0, the full path to the file is returned in *fullpath,
 which must be deleted by the caller.

 Return the directory name in pathname. DirName of /user/root is /user.

 Convert from a Unix pathname to a local pathname. E.g. from /user/root to \user\root.

 Expand a pathname getting rid of special shell characters like ~.$, etc.
 For Unix/Win32 compatibility use $(XXX) instead of $XXX when using
 environment variables in a pathname. If compatibility is not an issue
 you can use on Unix directly $XXX. This is a protected function called
 from the OS specific system classes, like TUnixSystem and TWinNTSystem.

 Expand a pathname getting rid of special shell characaters like ~.$, etc.
 For Unix/Win32 compatibility use $(XXX) instead of $XXX when using
 environment variables in a pathname. If compatibility is not an issue
 you can use on Unix directly $XXX.

 For Unix/Win32 compatibility use $(XXX) instead of $XXX when using
 environment variables in a pathname. If compatibility is not an issue
 you can use on Unix directly $XXX. The user must delete returned string.

 This method compiles and loads a shared library containing
 the code from the file "filename".

 The possible options are:
     k : keep the shared library after the session end.
     f : force recompilation.
     g : compile with debug symbol
     O : optimized the code (ignore if 'g' is specified)
     c : compile only, do not attempt to the load the library.

 If library_specified is specified, CompileMacro generates the file
 "library_specified".soext where soext is the shared library extension for
 the current platform.

 If build_dir is specified, it is used as an alternative 'root' for the
 generation of the shared library.  The library is stored in a sub-directories
 of 'build_dir' including the full pathname of the script.  See also
 TSystem::SetBuildDir.

 If library_specified is not specified, CompileMacro generate a default name
 for library by taking the name of the file "filename" but replacing the
 dot before the extension by an underscore and by adding the shared
 library extension for the current platform.
 For example on most platform, hsimple.cxx will generate hsimple_cxx.so

 It uses the directive fMakeSharedLibs to create a shared library.
 If loading the shared library fails, it tries to output a list of missing
 symbols by creating an executable (on some platforms like OSF, this does
 not HAVE to be an executable) containing the script. It uses the
 directive fMakeExe to do so.
 For both directives, before passing them to TSystem::Exec, it expands the
 variables $SourceFiles, $SharedLib, $LibName, $IncludePath, $LinkedLibs,
 $ExeName and $ObjectFiles. See SetMakeSharedLib() for more information on
 those variables.

 This method is used to implement the following feature:

 Synopsis:

 The purpose of this addition is to allow the user to use an external
 compiler to create a shared library from its C++ macro (scripts).
 Currently in order to execute a script, a user has to type at the root
 prompt

  .X myfunc.C(arg1,arg2)

 We allow him to type:

  .X myfunc.C++(arg1,arg2)
 or
  .X myfunc.C+(arg1,arg2)

 In which case an external compiler will be called to create a shared
 library.  This shared library will then be loaded and the function
 myfunc will be called with the two arguments.  With '++' the shared library
 is always recompiled.  With '+' the shared library is recompiled only
 if it does not exist yet or the macro file is newer than the shared
 library.

 Of course the + and ++ notation is supported in similar way for .x and .L.

 Through the function TSystem::SetMakeSharedLib(), the user will be able to
 indicate, with shell commands, how to build a shared library (a good
 default will be provided). The most common change, namely where to find
 header files, will be available through the function
 TSystem::SetIncludePath().
 A good default will be provided so that a typical user session should be at
 most:

 root[1] gSystem->SetIncludePath("-I$ROOTSYS/include
 -I$HOME/mypackage/include");
 root[2] .x myfunc.C++(10,20);

 The user may sometimes try to compile a script before it has loaded all the
 needed shared libraries.  In this case we want to be helpfull and output a
 list of the unresolved symbols. So if the loading of the created shared
 library fails, we will try to build a executable that contains the
 script. The linker should then output a list of missing symbols.

 To support this we provide a TSystem::SetMakeExe() function, that sets the
 directive telling how to create an executable. The loader will need
 to be informed of all the libraries available. The information about
 the libraries that has been loaded by .L and TSystem::Load() is accesible
 to the script compiler. However, the information about
 the libraries that have been selected at link time by the application
 builder (like the root libraries for root.exe) are not available and need
 to be explictly listed in fLinkedLibs (either by default or by a call to
 TSystem::SetLinkedLibs()).

 To simplify customization we could also add to the .rootrc support for the
 variables

 Unix.*.Root.IncludePath:     -I$ROOTSYS/include
 WinNT.*.Root.IncludePath:    -I%ROOTSYS%/include

 Unix.*.Root.LinkedLibs:      -L$ROOTSYS/lib -lBase ....
 WinNT.*.Root.LinkedLibs:     %ROOTSYS%/lib/*.lib msvcrt.lib ....

 And also support for MakeSharedLibs() and MakeExe().

 (the ... have to be replaced by the actual values and are here only to
 shorten this comment).

 Return the build architecture.

 Return the build node name.

 Return the path of the build directory.

 Return the debug flags.

 Return the optimization flags.

 Return the command line use to make a shared library.
 See TSystem::CompileMacro for more details.

 Return the command line use to make an executable.
 See TSystem::CompileMacro for more details.

 Get the list of include path.

 Return the list of library linked to this executable.
 See TSystem::CompileMacro for more details.

 Return the linkdef suffix chosen by the user for ACLiC.
 See TSystem::CompileMacro for more details.

 Get the shared library extension.

 Get the object file extension.

 Set the location where ACLiC will create libraries and use as
 a scratch area.  Note that the libraries are actually stored in
 sub-directories of 'build_dir' including the full pathname of the
 script.  If the script is location at /full/path/name/macro.C
 the library will be located at 'build_dir+/full/path/name/macro_C.so'

 FlagsDebug should contain the options to pass to the C++ compiler
 in order to compile the library in debug mode.

 FlagsOpt should contain the options to pass to the C++ compiler
 in order to compile the library in optimized mode.

 AclicMode indicates whether the library should be built in
 debug mode or optimized.  The values are:
 TSystem::kDefault : compile the same as the current ROOT
 TSystem::kDebug : compiled in debug mode
 TSystem::kOpt : optimized the library

 Directives has the same syntax as the argument of SetMakeSharedLib but is
 used to create an executable. This creation is used as a means to output
 a list of unresolved symbols, when loading a shared library has failed.
 The required variable is $ExeName rather than $SharedLib, e.g.:
 gSystem->SetMakeExe(
 "g++ -Wall -fPIC $IncludePath $SourceFiles
  -o $ExeName $LinkedLibs -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lm -ldl -rdynamic");

 Directives should contain the description on how to compile and link a
 shared lib. This description can be any valid shell command, including
 the use of ';' to separate several instructions. However, shell specific
 construct should be avoided. In particular this description can contain
 environment variables, like $ROOTSYS (or %ROOTSYS% on windows).

 Five special variables will be expanded before execution:
   Variable name       Expands to
   -------------       ----------
   $SourceFiles        Name of source files to be compiled
   $SharedLib          Name of the shared library being created
   $LibName            Name of shared library without extension
   $BuildDir           Directory where the files will be created
   $IncludePath        value of fIncludePath
   $LinkedLibs         value of fLinkedLibs
   $ObjectFiles        Name of source files to be compiler with
                       their extension changed to .o or .obj
   $Opt                location of the optimization/debug options
                       set fFlagsDebug and fFlagsOpt

 e.g.:
 gSystem->SetMakeSharedLib(
 "KCC -n32 --strict $IncludePath -K0 \$Opt $SourceFile
  --no_exceptions --signed_chars --display_error_number
  --diag_suppress 68 -o $SharedLib");

 gSystem->setMakeSharedLib(
 "Cxx $IncludePath -c $SourceFile;
  ld  -L/usr/lib/cmplrs/cxx -rpath /usr/lib/cmplrs/cxx -expect_unresolved
  \$Opt -shared /usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/crt0.o /usr/lib/cmplrs/cxx/_main.o
  -o $SharedLib $ObjectFile -lcxxstd -lcxx -lexc -lots -lc"

 gSystem->SetMakeSharedLib(
 "$HOME/mygcc/bin/g++ \$Opt -Wall -fPIC $IncludePath $SourceFile
  -shared -o $SharedLib");

 gSystem->SetMakeSharedLib(
 "cl -DWIN32  -D_WIN32 -D_MT -D_DLL -MD /O2 /G5 /MD -DWIN32
  -DVISUAL_CPLUSPLUS -D_WINDOWS $IncludePath $SourceFile
  /link -PDB:NONE /NODEFAULTLIB /INCREMENTAL:NO /RELEASE /NOLOGO
  $LinkedLibs -entry:_DllMainCRTStartup@12 -dll /out:$SharedLib")

 Add includePath to the already set include path.

 Add linkedLib to already set linked libs.

 IncludePath should contain the list of compiler flags to indicate where
 to find user defined header files. It is used to expand $IncludePath in
 the directives given to SetMakeSharedLib() and SetMakeExe(), e.g.:
    gSystem->SetInclude("-I$ROOTSYS/include -Imydirectory/include");
 the default value of IncludePath on Unix is:
    "-I$ROOTSYS/include "
 and on Windows:
    "/I%ROOTSYS%/include "

 LinkedLibs should contain the library directory and list of libraries
 needed to recreate the current executable. It is used to expand $LinkedLibs
 in the directives given to SetMakeSharedLib() and SetMakeExe()
 The default value on Unix is: root-config --glibs

 The 'suffix' will be appended to the name of a script loaded by ACLiC
 and used to locate any eventual additional linkdef information that
 ACLiC should used to produce the dictionary.
 So by default, when doing .L MyScript.cxx, ACLiC will look
 for a file name MyScript_linkdef and having one of the .h (.hpp,
 etc.) extensions.  If such a file exist, it will be added to
 the end of the linkdef file used to created the ACLiC dictionary.
 This effectively enable the full customization of the creation
 of the dictionary.  It should be noted that the file is intended
 as a linkdef 'fragment', so usually you would not list the
 typical '#pragma link off ....".

 Set shared library extension, should be either .so, .sl, .a, .dll, etc.

 Set object files extension, should be either .o, .obj, etc.

 This method split a filename of the form:
   [path/]macro.C[+|++[g|O]][(args)].
 It stores the ACliC mode [+|++[g|O]] in 'mode',
 the arguments (including paranthesis) in arg
 and the I/O indirection in io

 Remove the shared libs produced by the CompileMacro() function.
