39.Os
40.Sh NAME
41.Nm compat_30
42.Nd setup procedure for backward compatibility on post-3.0 release
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "options COMPAT_30"
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46The
47.Nm
48module allows
49.Nx
50to run
51.Nx 3.0
52executables.
53.Pp
54The support is present if the kernel was built with option
55.Dv COMPAT_30 .
56It is not available as a loadable module.
57.Pp
58Static executables typically need no additional setup.
59Dynamic binaries may require shared libraries whose major version
60number changed since
61.Nx 3.0 ,
62which are listed below.
63A shadow directory under
64.Pa /emul
65is not used; the libraries can be obtained from a
66.Nx 3.0
67distribution and installed in the original directories shown,
68as the major version number in the file name will prevent conflicts.
69If an upgrade installation from
70.Nx 3.0
71has been done and these libraries are still present, nothing more need
72be done.

105.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
106.Dv COMPAT_30
107enables the
108.Nx 3.0
109versions of the following system calls, whose syscall numbers and
110argument structures were changed after the 3.0 release to accommodate
11164-bit filesystems:
112.Xr fhstat 2 ,
113.Xr fstat 2 ,
114.Xr getdents 2 ,
115.Xr lstat 2 ,
116.Xr stat 2 .
117The
118.Vt struct ntptimeval
119used by
120.Xr ntp_gettime 2
121changed with the implementation of timecounters.

128.Xr stat 2 ,
129.Xr options 4
130.Sh HISTORY
131.Nx
132offers back-compatibility options back to
133.Nx 0.9 ,
134but the first to be documented with a manual page is
135.Nm .
136.Sh BUGS
137The compatible
138.Xr getdents 2
139is unable to see directory entries beneath the top layer of a union,
140even though the real 3.0
141.Fn getdents
142did not have that problem.
143.Sh SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
144Programs with security impact that receive incorrect directory contents
145from
146.Fn getdents
147may behave improperly, as when they are unable to find, or find the wrong
148versions of, important files.
