These functions are used by code in the library, even though these
functions started as GNU extensions, they are present in all BSDs,
so we expose them as part of our interface on AIX.
Although the current implementation in libbsd is probably one of the
safest ones around, it still poses some problems when used with many
file streams. This function has now a replacement, that is both more
standard and portable. Ask users to switch to getline(3) instead.
This is a wrapper over the glibc fopencookie() function.
We diverge from the FreeBSD, OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD declarations,
because seekfn() there wrongly uses fpos_t, assuming it's an integral
type, and any code using that on a system where fpos_t is a struct
(such as GNU-based systems or NetBSD) will fail to build. In which case,
as the code has to be modified anyway, we might just as well use the
correct declaration.
The glibc headers use selective inclusions through the __need_NAME
mechanism to avoid circular dependencies.
The problem is that if we are being overlaid, and have been requested
a partial inclusion, when we pass control to the system header, then
we might miss definitions needed by our own header, resulting in build
failures.
Workaround that by catching current partial requests, and skip the
current inclusion.
Glibc tends to include standard headers with special definitions
that make few declarations or macros visible, this stomps over the
overlay #include_next <> logic.

This means that software being ported should not need to be modified in
the usual case, as the libbsd headers will take over the standard
namespace and fill the missing gaps, and include the system headers.
To use this the new libbsd-transparent.pc file can be used through
pkg-config, which should end up doing the right thing.
