`tiny_strerror()` is a drop-in replacement for `strerror()`, but
instead of a long help message it returns the much shorter macro name
matching the given number.
The (pseudo-)module `tiny_strerror_as_strerror` can be used to
replace all calls to `strerror()` with calls to `tiny_strerror()`.
Previously `shell_commands` was a "catch-all" module that included
shell commands for each and every used module that has a shell
companion. Instead, the new `shell_cmds` module is now used to provide
shell commands as individually selectable submodules, e.g.
`cmd_gnrc_icmpv6_echo` now provides the ICMPv6 echo command (a.k.a.
ping).
To still have a "catch all" module to pull in shell commands of modules
already used, `shell_cmds_default` was introduced. `shell_commands`
depends now on `shell_cmds_default` for backward compatibility, but
has been deprecated. New apps should use `shell_cmds_default`
instead.
For a handful of shell commands individual selection was already
possible. Those modules now depend on the corresponding `cmd_%` module
and they have been deprecated.
A if `netdev_driver_t::confirm_send()` is provided, it provides the
new netdev API. However, detecting the API at runtime and handling
both API styles comes at a cost. This can be optimized in case only
new or only old style netdevs are in use.
To do so, this adds the pseudo modules `netdev_legacy_api` and
`netdev_new_api`. As right now no netdev actually implements the new
API, all netdevs pull in `netdev_legacy_api`. If `netdev_legacy_api` is
in used but `netdev_new_api` is not, we can safely assume at compile
time that only legacy netdevs are in use. Similar, if only
`netdev_new_api` is used, only support for the new API is needed. Only
when both are in use, run time checks are needed.
This provides two helper function to check for a netif if the
corresponding netdev implements the old or the new API. (With one
being the inverse of the other.) They are suitable for constant folding
when only new or only legacy devices are in use. Consequently, dead
branches should be eliminated by the optimizer.
Module to lock the running shell with a password. Shell is proceeded only
when the valid password was entered by the user. After 3 failed attempts,
the input is blocked for a few seconds to slow down brute force attacks.
Does not make use of any cryptographic features yet.
