* Busybox now includes a shell! It currently costs 7.5 k (plus an
additional 2.5 k if you compile in command line editing). Handles
job control, has the usual set of builtins, and does everything
except for handling programming statements (if, while, etc...)
* Busybox can now work perfectly when /proc is disabled, thereby
saving a bunch of memory (kernel /proc support is not thin). This
is done by making use of some nice kernel patches I wrote up to
support the features that busybox requires and that /proc usually
provides. To enable this, turn on BB_FEATURE_USE_DEVPS_PATCH and
patch your kernel with the devps patch in the kernel-patches/
directory.
* Wrote basename, killall, and uptime.
* Added freeramdisk, which will free up all memory associated
with a ram disk. Contributed by Emanuele Caratti <wiz@iol.it>
and then adjusted a bit by me.
2000-03-05 13:37:00 +05:30
* Added tr and dirname from John Lombardo <john@deltanet.com>
2000-03-16 13:39:09 +05:30
* Added echo and test (from me).
* Added usleep contributed by Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org>
2000-02-19 03:04:17 +05:30
* tar wouldn't create directory entries that don't end in '/',
now it does (thanks to Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@worldvisions.ca>)
* tar has been completely rewritten, and tar creation and extraction
is now much better behaved.
2000-02-19 03:04:17 +05:30
* Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>:
- When `tail' fails to open a file it now exits.
- When `syslogd' is given the `-n' option it should still use
fork() for running klogd.
* nslookup types are now changed to u_int32_t (instead of uint32_t)
changed per a patch from Pascal Bellard <pascal.bellard@ascend.com>
* Fixed "du" so it gives the same answers as GNU "du" (busybox du used
to count hard-linked files more then once). Many thanks to
Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de> for the fix.
* Removed /proc dependancies for init and free (while maintaining
exactly the same functionality). /proc takes up 90k of kernel
space, so it is nice to avoid using it at all costs.
* init no longer tries to mount /proc (unless there is less the 1 meg
free). Use of /proc (or not) is policy that should be set up in
/etc/fstab (or in hardcoded scripts), not in init.
* Fixed rebooting when init runs as an initrd.
* Fixes and updates from Karl M. Hegbloom <karlheg@debian.org>
- update.c rewritten to look more like update-2.11
- moveed the inode hash out of du.c and into utility.c to make
it a common resource that can be used by other apps.
- cp_mv.c now checks inodes to see if a source and dest are
the same, and prints an error (instead of endlessly looping).
- mv now attempts to do a rename, and will fall back to doing
a copy only if the rename fails.
- Syslogd now supports multiple concurrent connections
* Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>:
- Fixes to sort. Removed "-g", fixed and added "-r"
- Fixes to the makefile for handling "strip"
* An initial telnet implementation was added by
Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
* Fixed a bug where "sed 's/foo/bar/g'" (i.e. a script w/o a "-e")
* ps now supports BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH, and can adjust its width
to match the terminal (defaults to width=79 when this is off).
* Fixed mount'ing loop devices when the filesystem type was not
specified. It used to revert to non-loop after the first try.
* all mallocs now use xmalloc (and so are OOM error safe), and
the common error handling saves a few bytes. Thanks to
Bob Tinsley <bob@earthrise.demon.co.uk> for the patch.
2000-03-23 06:39:18 +05:30
* Fix "+" parsing bug in date, from "Merle F. McClelland" <mfm@cts.com>.
2000-02-19 03:04:17 +05:30

* Fairly massive restructuring of umount.c to deal with remounting
busy devices read-only. Adds a -r option to control that; it is
optionally compiled in with BB_FEATURE_REMOUNT
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Added a bunch of functions to mtab.c to interact with the
{get,set,end}mntent interface; as it turns out, those functions do
not appear to be re-entrant, and that causes a lot of problems with
the way umount was originally written.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Makes init send TERM and KILL (instead of HUP and KILL) on reboot
to be more consistent with sysvinit
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Changes to init.c to use the new -r option to umount. Also increased
the sleep time between the time the TERM and KILL signals are sent
- Randolph Chung
* cp.c, mv.c: removed, replaced by cp_mv.c which has been
extensively rewritten from the original cp.c.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Fixed cp and mv so if the source and destination are a the
same directory it will print an error and continue.
* Also added a warning message to the `mv' usage string saying that
this is not GNU mv, and it will break hard links. cp also breaks
hard links.
* ln.c: implemented `-n' switch, no-deref symlinks.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* include<sys/param.h>: and use PATH_MAX everywhere. busybox: File
* name buffer overrun guards to prevent future crashes.
- Always check exit status.
- Purge all use of `creat()', replace with `open()'.
* utility.c
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
- recursiveAction was overriding the value of followLinks thus
ignoring it.
- isDirectory now takes a followLinks boolean, updated all callers
- copyFile had the followLinks logic reversed.
* messages.c: New file. Put common error message strings all in
one place in an attempt to shrink the binary a little.
-Karl M. Hegbloom
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* changed fsck_minix.c to reduce its .bss size significantly
-beppu -piptigger
* Made tar creation support in busybox tar optional. You no longer
* _have_ to put a "-" in front of tar options. Tar could inadvertently
* change permissions and ownership on
certain directories pointed to by symlinks.
* Made grep and grep -h do the right thing wrt printing
the file name (it failed to print files names in many cases).
2000-01-21 01:21:48 +05:30
* Fix a namespace aliasing problem wereby if du was built in, the
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
symlink for both du and dutmp would be installed, or then rm was
2000-01-21 01:21:48 +05:30
built in, the symlinks for both rm and rmmod would be installed.
* Added a closelog() to init.c after loging -- fix thanks to
Taketoshi Sano <kgh12351@nifty.ne.jp>
* Rewrote and simplified logger. Added the "-t" option, and made it
behave itself a bit better.
* Optional support contributed by Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
for the kernel init chroot patch by Werner Almesberger, which
allows init to chroot to a new device, and umount the old one.
* Fixed bug that wouldn't let one chown a symlink -- it would
always dereference before. -beppu
* Fixed a bug where init could have reference already freed memory.
Found and fixed by Taketoshi Sano <kgh12351@nifty.ne.jp>
* Several contributions from Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>
* Added (and documented) "-n" option for head
* Cleanup for a number of usage messages -- also
contributed Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>
* Cosmetic fix to busybox.c (Don't print a comma at the
end of line if there are no more application names).
* Fixed a stupid bug in "head" option handling ("head -n"
would segfault).
* Moved commonly used functions "xmalloc()" and "exit()"
to utility.c (with proper #ifdef's).
* Created a tiny tail implementation, removing -c, -q, -v, and making
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
tail -f work only with a single file. This reduced tail from 6k to
2.4k. The bigger/more featured tail can still be had by disabling
BB_FEATURE_SIMPLE_TAIL in busybox.defs.h
* Ping now falls back to doing the right thing if /etc/protocols
turns up missing.
* Fixed mount and umount. Previously they could leak loop device
allocations, causing the system to quickly run out. Fix for umount
by Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>, and mount was fixed by me.
* ls formatting on eight charactor user names fixed by
Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
* cp could, when copying symlinks, change permissions of the
files pointed to by the symlinks.
* Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>:
- `chown' with 1 argument displayed the error incorrectly
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
- `fdflush', `length' and `printf' crashed if run without arguments
- `fdflush' tried to flush itself using *argv
- added "skip" and "seek" to dd.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
- ls no longer messus up output when combining files and
directories on the command line
2000-02-15 00:14:33 +05:30
* swapoff -a was not working. Now it is.
* init did not cleanly unmount filesystems on reboot. Now it does.
* "sed -ne s/foo/bar/" worked but "sed -n -e s/foo/bar/" didn't.
2000-02-10 13:01:15 +05:30
Now both work.
* Some architectures (PowerPc) assume chars are unsigned, so they could
not distinguish between EOF and '\0xFF' in sed. Sed now uses ints.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Began converting error handling to use some common routines
in utility.c
* syslogd now has better message handling and ignores SIGHUP.
* install.sh had a bug preventing installation to the specified
target directory. Fix from Gilbert Coville <gilbert@mvista.com>
* You can now spefify alternative strip commands -- change
also from Gilbert Coville.
2000-01-21 01:21:48 +05:30
-Erik Andersen
0.41
* New Apps: wc, hostid, logname, tty, whoami, yes -- all contributed
by Edward Betts <edward@debian.org>
* Fixed a bug in both cp and mv preventing 'cp foo/README bar'
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
type commands (file in a directory to another directory) from
working.
2000-01-09 12:19:08 +05:30
* Fixed a logger bug that caused garbage to be written to the syslog
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
(unless you used busybox syslog, which hid the bug). Thanks to
Alex Holden <alex@linuxhacker.org> for the fix.
* /bin/true and /bin/false were echoing a blank line when run.
Now fixed.
2000-01-13 10:13:48 +05:30
* mkdir -p would print an error when asked to mkdir an existing dir
with no interveining subdirectories.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Fixed "syslogd -O" so that it works. Added -o loop option for mount,
* and support in umount for loop
devices. Support is toggled by MOUNT_LOOP feature -- Ben Collins
<bcollins@debian.org>
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Several fixes from Marco Pantaleoni <panta@prosa.it> compile in
* fullWrite() not only if BB_TAR is defined, but also
if BB_CP or BB_MV are (fullWrite() is referenced by copyFile())
* add some compiler optimizations to further reduce executable size
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
(as a side note, on my machines the largest code is generated
by gcc 2.95.2 with -Os ! The smallest by plain gcc 2.7.2.3 with
-O2 -m386 ...)
* Compile now won't fail if busybox.def.h defines
BB_FEATURE_LINUXRC but not BB_INIT. (init_main used to be
referenced, but not compiled)
* Fixed a bug in setting TERM for serial console support. TERM now
defaults to "ansi" for serial consoles.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Fixed a bug in handling the CONSOLE env. variable for serial
* consoles.

* New Apps: sort, uniq. -beppu New Apps: lsmod, rmmod -erik New Apps:
* fbset contributed by Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>. New App::
* loadacm contributed by Peter Novodvorsky <petya@logic.ru>
2000-01-08 00:00:40 +05:30
for loading application character maps for Unicode fonts.
* Major init re-work. init now supports inittab (slightly different
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
but similar to sysvinit), allowing me to get all the policy out of
init and into the conf file. It works just fine without inittab
2000-01-08 00:00:40 +05:30
being present, but if you dont like the defautl behavior you can
now do something about it. Init is much cleaner as a result.
* Fixed an bug in syslogd causing it to stop after 20 minutes. -erik
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Fixed an embarrasing segfault in head -beppu Fixed the embarrasing
* failure of 'logger -p'. -erik Added the -s option to du -beppu
* Re-worked the source tree a bit so it will compile under glibc 2.0.7
with the 2.0.x Linux kernel.
* Added 'grep -q' thanks to a patch from "Konstantin Boldyshev"
<konst@voshod.com>.
2000-01-08 00:00:40 +05:30
* Grep -i previously failed on UPPER CASE patterns due to a silly
regexp implementation bug that is now fixed.
* Fixed a bug where tar would set, and then clear SGID and SUID bits.
* Fixed a bug where tar would not set the user and group on device
special files.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Fixed a bug where tar would not restore the time to files. Fixed a
* major security problem with tar -- it changed ownership
2000-01-08 00:00:40 +05:30
of any file pointed to by a symlink to 777 (like say libc....)
Ouch!!!
* cp and mv were very broken when moving directories. I have rewritten
2000-01-08 00:00:40 +05:30
them so they should now work as expected.
* sed now supports addresses (numeric or regexp, with negation) and
has an append command, thanks to Marco Pantaleoni <panta@prosa.it>
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Fixed dmesg. It wasn't parsing its options (-n or -s) properly.
* Some cosmetic fixes to ls output formatting to make it behave more
like GNU ls.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Fixed a stupid segfault in kill. Several fixes from Friedrich Vedder
* <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>:
- Added gunzip -t, removed gunzip.c dead code,
- fixed several typos
- Glibc 2.0.7 and libc5 compile fixes
2000-01-08 00:00:40 +05:30
* Fixed a bug where 'mknod --help' would segfault.

1999-12-11 14:11:28 +05:30
* New Apps: ping, hostname, and mkfifo contributed by Randolph Chung
<tausq@debian.org>. 3 items off the TODO list!
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* I wrote free (just calls "cat /proc/meminfo"). Added tail, based on
* tail from GNU textutils-1.19, but adjusted
to suit my evil purposes. Costs 6k. I'll make it smaller
sometime.
1999-12-08 04:44:59 +05:30
* on reboot, init called 'umount -a -n', which caused errors
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
when BB_MTAB was not enabled. Changed to 'umount -a', which does
the right thing.
1999-12-09 04:49:36 +05:30
* init will now try to run /sbin/getty if it is present (for easy
integration with the about-to-be-released tinylogin.)
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* kill now behaves itself properly, added 'kill -l' to list signals 'ls
* -l' was failing on long directories, since my_getid was leaking
one file descriptor per file. Oops.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Fixed rebooting from init. I'd accidently left some debugging code
* in
which blocked reboots.
* Fixed reboot, halt (and added poweroff) such that they handle it when
init is not at PID 1 (like when running in an initrd).
1999-12-10 05:03:04 +05:30
* Added a prelinary du implementation. Some parameter parsing
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
stuff still needs to be added. -beppu (John Beppu
<beppu@lineo.com>)
* Implemented tee. -beppu Implemented head. -beppu

* Fixed a segfault in 'umount -a' when a badly formed /etc/fstab
file existed.
1999-12-07 14:07:31 +05:30
* df will not exit on error, but will stat all mounted filesystems.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Fixed tar so uid/gid/permissions on extracted tarballs will be
correct.
1999-12-03 14:49:54 +05:30
* Fixed find -name so it properly uses shell wildcard patterns
(i.e. `*', `?', and `[]') instead of regular expressions, which
was causing some confusing and unexpected behavior.
1999-12-03 20:44:25 +05:30
* Added klogd to syslogd, so now the log will contain both system and
kernel messages.
1999-12-06 04:54:55 +05:30
* syslogd now creates the /dev/log socket to make sure it is there, and
is actually a socket with the right permissions.
1999-12-07 14:07:31 +05:30
* I've taken a first step to making busybox not need the /proc
filesystem. Most apps don't need it. Those that _require_ it,
will complain if you enable them when you disable
BB_FEATURE_USE_PROCFS.

1999-11-25 13:36:22 +05:30
* Wrote a micro syslogd, and a logger util (to log things to the syslog
from the command line or scripts) With both compiled in, costs 4k.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Fixed 'make install' so symlinks are installed in their proper
* locations. Changed the build system slightly so that features can
* now be enabled
or disabled from the busybox.defs.h header file, without trying to
compile in a source file named after that featue (unless that file
exists).
* Several options are now moved into busybox.defs.h Now 'rm -R' and 'rm
* -r' both work. dd now properly handles input beyond 1 block from
* stdin. Fixed a bug where tar unpacked everything a directories.
* Moved some code
from createPath into mkdir where it belonged, thereby making tar
work properly.
* Fixed an off-by-one bug in cat. Given a list of file it wouldn't cat
* out the
1999-11-24 03:08:12 +05:30
last file in the list.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Fixed 'ls -ln' so numeric group/uid are presented properly, and fixed
* 'ls -l'
so when uid/gid is not in /etc/{passwd,group} the numeric group/uid
are presented properly.
1999-11-25 13:00:46 +05:30
* Also added a TODO.

1999-11-13 10:17:09 +05:30

2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Made createPath be quiet (again thanks to Eric Delaunay). If
* BB_CONSOLE_CMD_IF_RC_SCRIPT_EXITS is defined, then whatever
1999-11-13 10:17:09 +05:30
command you define it as will be run if the init script exits.
1999-11-18 05:49:26 +05:30
* Updated install.sh to make it more robust (thanks to Adam Di Carlo)
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* NFS support added to mount by Eric Delaunay. It costs 10k when
* compiled
1999-11-15 23:03:30 +05:30
in, but that is still a big win for those that use NFS.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Made 'rm -f' be silent for non-existant files (thanks to Eric
* Delaunay). changed zcat.c to gunzip.c. It now obeys the principle
* of least surprise
and acts as god intended gunzip and zcat to act. They answer
--help and obey the '-c' flag.
* Fixed a bug in mv which caused it to not move files when the
* destination
1999-11-18 05:49:26 +05:30
was a directory.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Fixed a decimal-instead-of-octal bug causing mkdir to make
* directories
1999-11-18 05:49:26 +05:30
with very wrong permissions.
* chmod would overwrite file permissions instead of modifying them.
Now it properly modifies permissions.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Init now sends warnings destined for the console to /dev/console to
* ensure
they show up on whatever the active console it. Otherwise
important messages (for example that the system is rebooting) were
not seen when switched to a different VT.

(i.e. it accepts a file name, answers --help, and obeys the '-c'

1999-11-12 07:00:18 +05:30
* Fixed more.c to compile autowidth on sparc and set initial winsize
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
to 0,0 in case the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl fails. Fix thanks to Eric
Delaunay.
* Fixed tar so it now works as expected (it had TRUE/FALSE backwards)
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* tar now accepts --help chmod, chown, and chgrp usage now works
* General usage (i.e. --help) cleanups for most apps umount now parses
* options correctly tar can now unpack tarballs containing device
* special files,
sockets, and fifos (though it can't pack them up) thanks to Matt
Porter. Creating archives containing these is still left to the
interested student.
1999-11-12 07:00:18 +05:30
* fixed up the license in more.c to properly point to Bruce Perens.

* ls -l now displays link names outside the current directory,
1999-11-07 13:08:08 +05:30
Patch thanks to Eric Delaunay
* init now properly handles sparc serial consoles and does a
1999-11-11 01:47:47 +05:30
better job of finding the real console device rather than using
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
/dev/console which doesn't support job control. Patch also thanks
to Eric Delaunay.
1999-11-09 07:17:36 +05:30
* more started to read from stdin after the last file was finished, and
options were not parsed correctly (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay).
1999-11-09 07:21:02 +05:30
* more will now use the terminal size if BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH is on.
1999-11-09 07:17:36 +05:30
* rm wouldn't remove a symlink unless the symlink was valid. This was
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
a side effect of the busybox 0.32 recursiveAction() fix. Things
1999-11-09 07:17:36 +05:30
should now work correctly.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* grep wouldn't grep stdin. Now it does. sed wouldn't sed stdin. Now
* it does. sed was appending a \n to the end of lines with
* replacements.
1999-11-09 07:17:36 +05:30
Now it doesn't do that.
* ls -l now bypasses libc6 nss when displaying user/group names.
Now uses my_getpwuid and my_getgrgid.

* Fixed a bug where init could hang instead of rebooting.
* Removed some debugging noise from init.c
* Fixed ln so it works now (it was very broken).
* Fixed df so it won't segfault when there is no /etc/fstab,
* If BB_MTAB is not defined, df and mount will whine if /etc/fstab
is not installed (since they cannot fixup "/dev/root" to
state the real root device name)
* merged some redundant code from mtab.c/df.c into utility.c

busybox. If you have any problems please let me know ASAP at
andersen@lineo.com or andersee@debian.org
1999-11-05 06:51:49 +05:30
* usage() now prints the BusyBox version. This will help folks
1999-10-23 01:19:09 +05:30
realize that they are not in Kansas anymore.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* Fixed mkdir -m option so that it works. kill segfaulted w/o any
* arguments. Now it doesn't do that. kill wasn't properly accepting
* signal names. It does now. Added new apps chvt and deallocvt (I
* should probably add open) Major rewrite of init.c. Code is now
* readable by mere mortals IMHO. Wrote sed -- weighs only 1.8k (5.8k
* with full regular expressions!). Fixed a stupid seg-fault in sync
* Fixed mount -- mount -a failed to parse and apply mount options Fixed
* umount -n (patch thanks to Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>)
* umount -a no longer umounts /proc Added BB_MTAB, allowing (at the
* cost of ~1.5k and the need for a rw /etc)
folks to use a real /etc/mtab file instead of a symlink to
/proc/mounts. mount, and umount will add/remove entries and df
will now use /etc/mtab if BB_MTAB is defined.
1999-11-05 06:01:46 +05:30
* Fixed a nice bug in recursiveAction() which caused it to infinitely
hunt through /proc/../fd/* creating new file descriptors if it
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
followed the /dev/fd link over to /proc. recursiveAction() now
lstat's the file when followLinks==FALSE so it won't follow links
as the name suggests. Fix thanks to Matt Porter
<porter@debian.org>.

2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* I added a changelog for version 0.30. adjusted find internals to
* make it smaller, and removed
1999-10-22 10:00:20 +05:30
some redundancy.
* Fixed a segfault in ps when /etc/passwd or /etc/group
are absent. Now will warn you and carry on.
* Added in optional _real_ regular expression support (to be
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
the basis for a future sed utility). When compiled in it adds
3.9k, but makes grep much more capable.
1999-10-22 10:44:44 +05:30
* Checked out using nftw(3) for recursive stuff, but unfortunatly
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
it wasn't supported before GNU libc 2.1, and some folks use glibc
2.0.7 since it is much smaller than that latest and greatest.

Major changes -- lots of stuff rewritten. Many thanks to Lineo for
paying me to make these updates. If you have any problems with busybox,
1999-10-22 10:00:20 +05:30
or notice any bugs -- please let me know so I can fix it. These
changes include:
Core Changes:
* busybox can now invoke apps in two ways: via symlinks to the
busybox binary, and as 'busybox [function] [arguments]...'
* When invoked as busybox, the list of currently compiled in
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
functions is printed out (no this is not bloat -- the list has
to be there anyway to map invocation name to function).
1999-10-22 10:00:20 +05:30
* busybox no longer parses command lines for apps or displays their
usage info. Each app gets to handle (or not handle) this for
itself.
* Eliminated monadic, dyadic, descend, block_device, and
postprocess. It was cumbersome to have so many programs
cobbled together in this way. Without them, the app is much
more granular.
* All shared code now lives in utility.c, and is properly
ifdef'ed to be only included for those apps requiring it.
* Eliminated struct FileInfo (the basis of monadic, dyadic, etc)
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
so now each app has the function prototype of (da-dum): extern
int foo_main(int argc, char** argv); which speeds integration
of new apps.
1999-10-22 10:00:20 +05:30
* Adjusted the Makefile to make it easier to
{en|dis}able debugging.
* Changed default compiler optimization to -Os
(optimize for smaller binaries).
App Changes:
* To cope with the new app function prototype and the removal of
monadic, dyadic, etc, the following apps were re-written:
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* cat - Works same as always. chgrp, chmod, chown -
* rewrite. Combined into a single
source file. Absorbed patches from Enrique Zanardi
<ezanard@debian.org> that removes the dependency on
libc6 libnss* libraries.
1999-10-22 10:00:20 +05:30
* cp - Can now do 'cp -a' can can copy devices,
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
pipes, symlinks, as well as recursive or non-recursive
dir copies.
* fdflush - adjusted to remove dependancy on struct
* FileInfo. find - Now includes some basic regexp matching
1999-10-22 10:00:20 +05:30
which will be the basic of a future mini-sed.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* ln - Same functionality. mkdir - Added -p flag to
* feature set. mv - rewrite. rm - Added -f flag to
* feature set. rmdir - Same functionality. swapon,
* swapoff - Combined into a single binary. No longer
uses /etc/swaps. swap{on|off} -a uses /etc/fstab
instead.
* touch - Same functionality. date - adjusted with a patch
* from Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>
to accomodate glibc timezone support. I then ripped out GNU
getopt.
* mkswap -- new version merged from util-linux. Can now make
>128Meg swaps.
* Replaced the old and star, unstar, and tarcat with the tar
implementation from sash. Now tar behaves as god intended it
to (i.e. tar -xvf <file> and tar -cf <file> <dir> work).
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* dd -- rewritten. Can with with files, stdin, stdout. Added the
* following new apps: loadfont -- added from debian boot floppies
* chroot -- added based on a patch from Paolo Molaro
* <lupus@lettere.unipd.it> grep -- I just wrote it. Only matches
* simple strings ps -- I just wrote it. Has _no_ options at all,
* but works. fsck_minix, mkfs_minix -- added from util-linux, but
* I ripped out
1999-10-22 10:00:20 +05:30
internationalization and such to make them smaller.
2000-02-12 03:25:04 +05:30
* sfdisk -- Added from util-linux (minus
* internationalization and such). Probably some other
* changes that I forgot to document...
