environment variables if the libraries are called from setuid or setguid
programs, or if kernel believes that the process is not eligible to create
a core dump. In addition, if the libc has __secure_getenv(), use it so that
the libc can also do any additional limitations regarding when libraries can
trust environment variables (i.e., to integrate with systems like SELinux
and Posix capabilities).

to /dev/null. (Addresses Debian Bug #292425)
Also expose blkid_verify() as a public function to the blkid library.

information from swap partitions.
Also make sure that if a partition has a label removed, that the label is
removed form the blkid cache as well.
Add support for detecting 32k and 64k pagesize swap files.
that mount will try to use the vfat filesystem. (Addresses Debian bug #287455)
Similarly, the blkid library will now return an ext3 type for ext 2/3
filesystems that have the journal capability set.
We allow files to be probed by the blkid library, to make it easier to
test the library. However, we also added safety checks to avoid saving
relative pathnames to blkid.tab, and probe_one() will only check block device
files.

Update Makefile dependencies.
Update "make depend" production so that it filters out comments
inserted by newer gcc compilers.
Remove sync from e2fsck's "make all" target.

Fix typo's in README.subset
Change debian control file so it doesn't bomb out if the EVMS FSIM
is not there, since it is not built on the Hurd. Resolves Debian
bug #189687.
1) Only one tag with a particular name can be attached to a device
at a time. This significantly simplifies the library, and was needed
to allow the cache file to be re-read and changes integrated into the
in-core version of the data structure in a simpler fashion than earlier
versions of the library.
2) To accomodate this, the ext2/ext3 filesystems are now always tagged
as "ext2" type filesystems. Ext3 filesystems are tagged with a
SEC_TYPE tag with the value ext3.
3) The new blkid_read_cache() function checks the mod time of the
cache file, and if the file has been changed since the last time the
cache file was read into memory, it is re-read. This function is now
called before probing all of the devices in the system or searching
all devices in the cache for a specific tag value.
4) After probing all devices, blkid_flush_cache() is called to write
out the cache file. This assures that all of the hard work involved
in doing a blkid_probe_all() is saved to disk.
read.c (parse_tag): Do not return that blkid_tag when parsing
the blkid.tag file.
resolve.c (blkid_get_token, blkid_get_tagname_devname): Fold in
code from removed functions
tag.c (blkid_create_tag): Don't return the newly tag strcture
any more, as it's not needed.
(blkid_find_tag_cache, blkid_get_tag_cache,
blkid_token_to_tag, blkid_find_tv_tags): Remove these
functions, as they are either only used once or have
interfaces that should be deprecated.
(blkid_find_tag_dev, blkid_find_head_cache): Replace use
of blkid_tag with one or two const char * type/value
arguments.
(blkid_find_dev_with_tag): Fold in code from removed functions
probe.h, probe.c: Use a more sophisticated set of byte-swapping
routines which are more compact and efficient. Drop
calculation of bid_free, since it's unnecessary. Avoid
save.c (blkid_save_cache): Set the permissions on the blkid
cache file to 644.
