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.
The minimal version got a couple hundred bytes bigger, partly because it's
broken into more functions but mostly because it now dynamically reallocates
and frees everything with no hard-coded limits. (I thought about making
that optional, but there's a limit to what I can debug and maintain. It
should still be reasonably NOMMU friendly, the allocations are small and
short lived, and shouldn't contribute noticeably to long-term memory
fragmentation.)
applet list yet (and won't be until it can replace lash, I'm not having five
shells in menuconfig at once), but you can build it with scripts/individual
and mostly this is checked in so I can bloatcheck future versions against it
easily....
This is about as small as a shell can get and still be a shell.
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.
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.

this also implements -n and -s options to read. (they're configured
together because most of their code is in common, and separating them
seemed silly.
If we exec /proc/self/exe and only fall back to /bin/busybox if /proc isn't
there, then we have a reasonable chance of having the standalone shell work
even if busybox isn't installed in /bin on the system in question.
Still won't work in a chroot environment, but it's an improvement.
Hi!
I've created a patch to busybox' build system to allow building it in
separate tree in a manner similar to kbuild from kernel version 2.6.
That is, one runs command like
'make O=/build/some/where/for/specific/target/and/options'
and everything is built in this exact directory, provided that it exists.
I understand that applyingc such invasive changes during 'release
candidates' stage of development is at best unwise. So, i'm currently
asking for comments about this patch, starting from whether such thing
is needed at all to whether it coded properly.
'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build
directory, so one can run 'make' in build directory after that.
One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than
source one, the source directory should be 'distclean'ed first.

This patch makes msh handle variable expansion within backticks more
correctly.
Current behaviour (wrong):
--------------------------
BusyBox v1.00-rc3 (2004.08.26-11:51+0000) Built-in shell (msh)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
$ A='`echo hello`'
$ echo $A
`echo hello`
$ echo `echo $A`
hello
$
New behaviour (correct):
------------------------
BusyBox v1.00-rc3 (2004.08.26-11:51+0000) Built-in shell (msh)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
$ A='`echo hello`'
$ echo $A
`echo hello`
$ echo `echo $A`
`echo hello`
$
The current behaviour (wrong according to standards) was actually my
fault. msh handles backticks by executing a subshell (which makes it
work on MMU-less systems). Executing a subshell makes it hard to only
expand variables once in the parent. Therefore I export all variables
that will be expanded within the backticks and let the subshell handle
the expansion instead.
The bug was found while searching for security leaks in CGI-scripts.
Current behaviour of msh makes it easy to expand backticks by mistake
in $QUERY_STRING. I recommend appling the patch before release of bb
1.00.

This bug is in busybox 1.0.0-rc2. When using lash exec
builtin with redirection, the opened file fd keep increasing.
For example, please try the following command with lash.
ls -al /proc/<lash pid>/fd
exec /bin/sh 2>/dev/null
ls -al /proc/<lash pid>/fd
The last 'ls' command output will look like this. The fd
number 4 shouldn't exist.
lrwx------ 1 501 100 64 Aug 13 13:56 4 -> /dev/pts/5
l-wx------ 1 501 100 64 Aug 13 13:56 2 -> /dev/null
lrwx------ 1 501 100 64 Aug 13 13:56 1 -> /dev/pts/5
lrwx------ 1 501 100 64 Aug 13 13:56 0 -> /dev/pts/5
dr-xr-xr-x 3 501 100 0 Aug 13 13:56 ..
dr-x------ 2 501 100 0 Aug 13 13:56 .
This one-line patch fix this problem by setting CLOEXEC flag for
squirrel fd. Please apply.

A question was posted a month ago by Mark Alamo to see if others had
problems with sourcing subscripts within msh. We asked his firm to fix the
msh.c bug he described because we didn't have enough time to do it
ourselves.
When msh.c is executing a compound statement and there is a . command to
source another script file, msh.c will not execute the subscript until it's
completed executing the rest of the compound statement.
His example was this:
Echo "Start" ; . ./subA; echo "mid" ; . ./subB ; echo "end"
subA and subB execute AFTER end is printed in reverse order. The same is
true if the sourced files are inside an if else fi, case esac, or any
compound statement.
Attached is a patch to msh.c. It fixes the problem. Cd to the root of your
busybox tree and execute "patch -p1 < msh.c.patch"
Unfortunately, I won't have more time to work on this so I hope that there
aren't any problems!

With job control enabled, ash fails to tcsetpgrp back to initialpgrp
upon exit. exitshell() should call setjobctl(0) to do this.
Context: I am using a lightweight menu system (replimenu[.sf.net]) on my
console, which invokes "/bin/sh -i -c /bin/login", where /bin/sh and
/bin/login are busybox applets. /bin/sh is ash, with
CONFIG_ASH_JOB_CONTROL=y as the sole suboption. The shell of the user
concerned (nobody) is also /bin/sh (ash). When the user /bin/sh exits
(and thereby login and its parent sh), replimenu receives EIO when it
tries to read from the terminal.
The updated patch adds a config option to explicitely enable 64 bit
arithmetic.
Also it removes the arith prototype from libbb.h as it is not used
outside of ash.

this patch has been slightly modified by Erik for cleanliness.
This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.
Erik - please apply.
Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.
Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.
I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.
What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?
Good luck on the 1.00 release!

He,
there is a bug in HUSH's handling of "if" / "elif" commands:

The same bug exists in all versions of HUSH from BB v0.60.x up to and
including v1.00-pre9. The attached patch fixes this:
$ if true

> elif
> true

Just upgraded from 0.6 to 1.00-pre8
Dot command handling handled args correctly (same as bash) in 0.60,
but failed in 1.00:
I fixed this by reverting the dotcmd function back to previous 0.60
instantiation,
please consider using the older version.
Thanks

It looks like latest uClibc defines ARCH_HAS_MMU, but a few busybox files
test UCLIBC_HAS_MMU, resulting in vfork() getting called instead of
fork(), etc.
Patch below. Only tested for lash.
Cheers,
