Follow up to r1880368 and r1880980:
Complete move to .en.utf8 suffixes in two steps: 1. From fresh checkout, renamed all existing files: $ for f in *.html.en */*.html.en; do svn mv $f $f.utf8; done 2. Ran "./build.sh all" which also regenerates the typemaps. [skip ci] git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk@1880982 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68

- <p>This is a first attempt at writing the lessons I learned
- when trying to convert the <code>mod_mmap_static</code> module to Apache
- 2.0. It's by no means definitive and probably won't even be
- correct in some ways, but it's a start.</p>

-
- <h3><a name="cleanup" id="cleanup">Cleanup Routines</a></h3>
- <p>These now need to be of type <code>apr_status_t</code> and return a
- value of that type. Normally the return value will be
- <code>APR_SUCCESS</code> unless there is some need to signal an error in
- the cleanup. Be aware that even though you signal an error not all code
- yet checks and acts upon the error.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="init" id="init">Initialisation Routines</a></h3>
- <p>These should now be renamed to better signify where they sit
- in the overall process. So the name gets a small change from
- <code>mmap_init</code> to <code>mmap_post_config</code>. The arguments
- passed have undergone a radical change and now look like</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li><code>apr_pool_t *p</code></li>
- <li><code>apr_pool_t *plog</code></li>
- <li><code>apr_pool_t *ptemp</code></li>
- <li><code>server_rec *s</code></li>
- </ul>
-
-
- <h3><a name="datatypes" id="datatypes">Data Types</a></h3>
- <p>A lot of the data types have been moved into the <a href="http://apr.apache.org/">APR</a>. This means that some have had
- a name change, such as the one shown above. The following is a brief
- list of some of the changes that you are likely to have to make.</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li><code>pool</code> becomes <code>apr_pool_t</code></li>
- <li><code>table</code> becomes <code>apr_table_t</code></li>
- </ul>

- <h3><a name="register-hooks" id="register-hooks">Register Hooks</a></h3>
- <p>The new architecture uses a series of hooks to provide for
- calling your functions. These you'll need to add to your module
- by way of a new function, <code>static void register_hooks(void)</code>.
- The function is really reasonably straightforward once you
- understand what needs to be done. Each function that needs
- calling at some stage in the processing of a request needs to
- be registered, handlers do not. There are a number of phases
- where functions can be added, and for each you can specify with
- a high degree of control the relative order that the function
- will be called in.</p>
-
- <p>This is the code that was added to <code>mod_mmap_static</code>:</p>
- <div class="example"><pre>static void register_hooks(void)
-{
- static const char * const aszPre[]={ "http_core.c",NULL };
- ap_hook_post_config(mmap_post_config,NULL,NULL,HOOK_MIDDLE);
- ap_hook_translate_name(mmap_static_xlat,aszPre,NULL,HOOK_LAST);
-};</pre></div>
-
- <p>This registers 2 functions that need to be called, one in
- the <code>post_config</code> stage (virtually every module will need this
- one) and one for the <code>translate_name</code> phase. note that while
- there are different function names the format of each is
- identical. So what is the format?</p>
-
- <div class="example"><p><code>
- ap_hook_<var>phase_name</var>(<var>function_name</var>,
- <var>predecessors</var>, <var>successors</var>, <var>position</var>);
- </code></p></div>
-
- <p>There are 3 hook positions defined...</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li><code>HOOK_FIRST</code></li>
- <li><code>HOOK_MIDDLE</code></li>
- <li><code>HOOK_LAST</code></li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>To define the position you use the position and then modify
- it with the predecessors and successors. Each of the modifiers
- can be a list of functions that should be called, either before
- the function is run (predecessors) or after the function has
- run (successors).</p>
-
- <p>In the <code>mod_mmap_static</code> case I didn't care about the
- <code>post_config</code> stage, but the <code>mmap_static_xlat</code>
- <strong>must</strong> be called after the core module had done its name
- translation, hence the use of the aszPre to define a modifier to the
- position <code>HOOK_LAST</code>.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="moddef" id="moddef">Module Definition</a></h3>
- <p>There are now a lot fewer stages to worry about when
- creating your module definition. The old definition looked
- like</p>
-
- <div class="example"><pre>module MODULE_VAR_EXPORT <var>module_name</var>_module =
-{
- STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF,
- /* initializer */
- /* dir config creater */
- /* dir merger --- default is to override */
- /* server config */
- /* merge server config */
- /* command handlers */
- /* handlers */
- /* filename translation */
- /* check_user_id */
- /* check auth */
- /* check access */
- /* type_checker */
- /* fixups */
- /* logger */
- /* header parser */
- /* child_init */
- /* child_exit */
- /* post read-request */
-};</pre></div>
-
- <p>The new structure is a great deal simpler...</p>
- <div class="example"><pre>module MODULE_VAR_EXPORT <var>module_name</var>_module =
-{
- STANDARD20_MODULE_STUFF,
- /* create per-directory config structures */
- /* merge per-directory config structures */
- /* create per-server config structures */
- /* merge per-server config structures */
- /* command handlers */
- /* handlers */
- /* register hooks */
-};</pre></div>
-
- <p>Some of these read directly across, some don't. I'll try to
- summarise what should be done below.</p>
-
- <p>The stages that read directly across :</p>
-
- <dl>
- <dt><code>/* dir config creater */</code></dt>
- <dd><code>/* create per-directory config structures */</code></dd>
-
- <dt><code>/* server config */</code></dt>
- <dd><code>/* create per-server config structures */</code></dd>
-
- <dt><code>/* dir merger */</code></dt>
- <dd><code>/* merge per-directory config structures */</code></dd>
-
- <dt><code>/* merge server config */</code></dt>
- <dd><code>/* merge per-server config structures */</code></dd>
-
- <dt><code>/* command table */</code></dt>
- <dd><code>/* command apr_table_t */</code></dd>
-
- <dt><code>/* handlers */</code></dt>
- <dd><code>/* handlers */</code></dd>
- </dl>
-
- <p>The remainder of the old functions should be registered as
- hooks. There are the following hook stages defined so
- far...</p>
-
- <dl>
- <dt><code>ap_hook_pre_config</code></dt>
