Basic framework ready!

Week 9 :-

With this revision I have figured out a way to use tcp.c, cs.c, ether.c etc. to do the file-specific processing, while passing only the file structure *filp from a common “write_file” function in net.c. The filesystem however now occupies some memory – TMPSIZE * no_of_files to be precise. I would say this is desirable. I dont know with respect to code, but Plan 9 also seems to behave in the same fashion as far as usability is concerned.

Next, what needs to be done is implement the functions of /net/tcp/clone and the /net/tcp/n/ctl files. Doing these will be enough to test out a simple connection from command-line. Predicted forthcoming issue –> Plan 9 uses “connect 192.168.1.8!80″ as the command. ! is a symbol not allowed in bash. I dont know if it will work if I used other shells (or use rc from plan9ports?).
