["Julio Merino" <jmmv%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src
Committed By:   jmmv
Date:           Tue Mar 29 13:55:37 UTC 2011

Modified Files:
        src/lib/libutil: pidfile.3 pidfile.c
        src/tests/lib/libutil: t_pidfile.c

Log Message:
Extend pidfile(3) to support creating pid files in arbitrary locations.

If the argument provided to pidfile(3) contains a '/', then the value is
considered to be an absolute/relative path and the pid file is created
in the given location.

Otherwise, pidfile(3) behaves as before and treats the provided value as
a basename to construct a pid file in /var/run/<basename>.pid.  This means
that to create a pid file named "foo.pid" in the current directory, one
must specify "./foo.pid".
