It is impossible to formulate sane ABI based on
size of ulong because it can be 32-bit or 64-bit.
Basically it means that you cannot portably use
more that 32 option chars in one call anyway...
Make it explicit.
generated binaries, to make copyright enforcement easier. Our liason with
them (Bradley Kuhn) suggested the following text:

And the busybox help message seems the least offensive place to put it. (At
some point in the future, I need to strip 128 bytes from the binary to feel
good about this, though. :)
Minor header file cleanup while I was there, since libbb.h already #includes
most of that stuff...
We've had -Werror in the tree for quite a while, so adding #warning
somewhat counterproductve way to make comments on the code that belong on the
mailing list anyway.
option - it was going to return a special flag back to caller and
expecting caller to call it again with special parameter! Also
caller was charged with calling mount() syscall...
mount: mtab support was non-functional. Enabling it revealed serious bug
which is not fixed yet.
few new (unfinished) config options, which I intend to make hidden (but
enabled) when CONFIG_NITPICK is disabled. Getting the .config infrastructure
to do that is non-obvious, it seems...
were using "1" as one of the arguments anyway, and as for the rest a multiply
and a push isn't noticeably bigger than pushing two arguments on the stack.
things like xasprintf() into xfuncs.c, remove xprint_file_by_name() (it only
had one user), clean up lots of #includes... General cleanup pass. What I've
been doing for the last couple days.
And it conflicts! I've removed httpd.c from this checkin due to somebody else
touching that file. It builds for me. I have to catch a bus. (Now you know
why I'm looking forward to Mercurial.)
untangle them:
Rewrite u_signal_names() into get_signum() and get_signame(), plus trim the
signal list to that required by posix (they can specify the numbers for
the rest if they really need them). (This is preparatory cleanup for adding
a timeout applet like Roberto Foglietta wants.)
Export the itoa (added due to Denis Vlasenko, although it's not quite his
preferred implementation) from xfuncs.c so it's actually used, and remove
several other redundant implementations of itoa and utoa() in the tree.
what to exec. Add -f mode and a brief explanation of how to use it to replace
minicom. Add -l -l mode so you can turn any command into a server. And group
all of netcat's command line options under two CONFIG entries, so if you
disable both it doesn't use getopt at all.
the start of the path. (This should be under the same config option as
the standalone shell, but right now that's buried in the shell menu.)
Also add the ability to specify CONFIG_BUSYBOX_EXEC_PATH with /proc/self/exe
as an overrideable default.
moved the contents of libbb/bb_echo.c back into coreutils/echo.c,
which is a more reasonable place for them than libbb. this
forces anyone who wants echo and test to be builtin to ash to
also have them available as applets. their cost is very small,
and the number of people who wouldn't want them as applets is
also very small.
added warning about shell builtins vs. CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE_SHELL,
which conflicts with their use.
thanks to nathanael copa for debugging help.
some string size optimization in test.c may have been lost with
this commit, but this is a good new baseline.
can figure out what header files to include, and override stuff that comes
later. But applets shouldn't include platform.h directly, they should include
busybox.h or libbb.h. Since busybox.h already includes libbb.h, move libbb.h
to the top of busybox.h and platform.h near the top of libbb.h (right after
bbconfig.h, which is something platform.h also needs access to).
While we're at it, move some stuff from busybox.h to libbb.h so we have one
big file to audit/clean up/try to make sense of instead of many.
This needs a second pass to:
+ add bb_daemon(unsigned char no_chdir, unsigned char no_close, const char*flag)
+ eventually globally export argc and argv, so we don't need to pass it to
bb_daemon().
