Having the definitions sit in the `net/gnrc/sixlowpan/frag.h` header
does not make much sense, when using Selective Fragment Forwarding
(and the fragmentation buffer already includes a
`net/gnrc/sixlowpan/frag/stats.h` header), so they are moved to their
own header. Since with this change it makes more sense to have the
statistics stored in their own sub-module, the pseudo-module is also
actualized.
Previously `ifconfig` would only know link-local addresses
(printed as 'local') and everything else would be 'global'.
This is wrong for site-local and unique local addresses which were
also denoted as global.
So use the already existing helper functions to determine the correct
type of IPv6 address when printing.
This change is in preparation to [PR 10788]. PR 10788 will make the
shell exitable which may lead to unexpected behavior in comparison to
previous usage of the shell.
To prevent this, this PR introduces two "new" functions to the shell's
API: `shell_run_once()` and `shell_run_forever()`.
`shell_run_once()` basically has the same behavior as `shell_run()` in
current master: Start a shell and continue reading lines until EOF is
reached.
`shell_run_forever()` wraps around `shell_run_once()` and restarts the
shell if it exits.
`shell_run()` is re-introduced as a back-porting alias for
`shell_run_forever()`.
As a consequence all current calls to `shell_run()` won't exit even
with [PR 10788] merged (which would add EOT as additional exit
condition for `shell_run_once()`).
[PR 10788]: https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/pull/10788
Replaces the special heap command approach of the lpc_common module with a more general heap command approach. Module lpc_common was already removed with PR #2118. PR #2118 integrated cpu/lpc_common code in cpu/lpc2387. With PR #3530 special heap handling for cpu/lpc2387 was replaced by newlib memory management which uses _sbrk_r to allocate chunks from the heap. _sbrk_r uses _sheap and _eheap symbols that are defined in lpc2387.ld and can be used together with mallinfo function for heap statistics.
CTRL-C cancels the current line, similar to how getty works.
This is useful if one is using a dumb terminal to communicate with
a node, as it saves having to repeatedly type backspace to discard the
current line. It also helps when connecting to an already running node,
as one does not know what is on the line buffer, the safest thing to do
is to begin by sending a ctrl-C.
This is a suggestion of @benemorius.
