hidden pitfalls
•maximum socket read/write size is
30000 bytes
•some functions like link() exist but
return errno == EIMPL when called
•use telnet instead of VT in the shell
to avoid heavy CTRL-Y overhead;
set +o vi for more improvement
•ld linker doesn't flag unresolved
externals by default; to enable this,
set the AUTOCONF environment
variable to 1
•built-in cat command can lose
bytes on "here docs" -- use /bin/cat
instead, i.e.:
/bin/cat <<EOF >outfile
foo
bar
EOF
