Core meeting:

Lars:  use const int operation_success = 0;
       instead of #define operation_success 0
       ...
       
       ?
       
CA_NOCALLBACKS flag in ExecLink()
       
       
srvip.c:

  if (gCatchConsoleBreak)
  {
    if (bsdsignal(SIGINT, sig_break) == SIG_ERR) feclog("cannot catch SIGINT");
    if (bsdsignal(SIGTERM, sig_break) == SIG_ERR) feclog("cannot catch SIGTERM");
  }

  SetCatchConsoleBreak(value) :   catch ctrl-C and kill signals
  
Local histories:

Jun  12 2016
allow CF_STRUCT and complex types to be returned in calls to history (also central archive) : make use of field index

Jun  14 2016
ReassignLinkData() : request from Zeuthen (Davit)

July 15 2016
make direct use of 'foregroundTTY' in SystemCycle() call.

Jun  16 2016
- toolkit.c: add a 'retry' in GetSystemPropertyInformation() for meta-property look-alikes.
-
July 25:
- prolog.h: introduce a #if !defined(UNIX) && !defined(HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY) around
  the prototype for gettimeofday in order to work around the (incredibly stupid)
  #define timezone in python 3.5 !  

July 29  
Karol:
- syslib.c, srvquery.c, tinetype.h: introduce 'gDieOnFecIsAlias' and Set/Get routines.
  (default = FALSE).
- server.c: trap problem renegotiating contract back to the normal contract length if
  the returned data size returns to 'normal'.
- client.c: better check on a 'FEC match' in looking for existing link (trap exotic
  alias condition).  


Alarm manifests (a la history manifests)

Alarm specific filters

Property handlers
  respect property handlers in alarm watch calls.
- hstlib.c: respect property handlers in local history calls.

Aug  22 2016
- almlib.h, almlib.c, srvquery.c, ttycmd.c: add option to print the 'update' message to
  the std output in the alm manifest dump calls.
- hstlib.c, hstlib.h: add option to print the 'update' message to std out in the
  history manifest dump calls.

Aug  23 2016
- almlib.c, almlib.h: clear the immediate partner in a watch table alarm if the value slides
  from 'warning' to 'real'.

Aug  24 2016
- srvcore.h, toolkit.c, srvdbase.c: check for and handle overloads in acquiring 
  property list structures.
  
Aug  26 2016
  'file_error' alarms under certain circumstances.
  
  
Core Team Assignments:

- file_error alarms:                                              < DONE
- alarm manifest:
- dump what would be alarms.csv and almwatch.csv                      < DONE
- any console command that changes 'state' also should write into commands.log < DONE
- general alarm filters (based on alarm code) as opposed to alarm watch criteria. < DONE
- property handler instead of eqm handler ? < DONE
- how to get and display and set (?) the alarmwatch and history filters
  => work with 'parseable' strings  
  => stock property (command line also) ALMFILTERS (get/set almfilters)
  input/output: alarm code and filter string 
  ---> a new 'struct' (int and 256 char string) or CF_KEYVALUE (with CODE:val and FILTER:parseable string as alternating entries ?)
       or: CF_STRING (with CODE:val FILTER:string) (list of atomic strings)
  read: get watchtable and specific alarm filters
  write: apply/edit filter for watchtable or specific alarm (first check if the target alarm is being 'watched' -> apply to watchtable; else apply to specific alarm definition)
  => stock property (command line) HSTFILERS (get/set hstfilters)
  read: get local history filters
  write: apply/edit filter for local history entry 
  
- console command to mkhstfiles (on separate thread)
- console commands to change history or alarm settings on the fly
 
-> stock handlers: 
   for 'attributes' : WRITE calls: respect multi-channel arrays (output: all, input: 1); else size out = size in
   for 'commands' 

local history:
add 'CF_STRUCT' + tag to the API

- unix PIPE -> socket geta a 'temporarily unavailable' error !

- errors.log ? a la 'commands.log'

- command line:  get alarms


 
- VxWorks console command interpeter a la python ?
