>Description:
The ufs headers expose a lot of symbols that do not begin with ufs_ or
UFS_; this is unfriendly to other file systems, because there are a
number of tools that support multiple file system types and want to be
able to include headers from all of them in the same translation unit.
I've already fixed a number of these; here are some more that have
come to light:
(1)
DIRBLKSIZ
DIRECTSIZ
DIRSIZ
OLDDIRFMT
NEWDIRFMT
(2)
IFTODT
DTTOIF
IFMT, IFIFO, IFCHR, etc.
DT_UNKNOWN, DT_FIFO, DT_CHR, etc.
The DT_ ones are particularly problematic as they duplicate the
FS-independent symbols from <dirent.h>.
