always be null terminated. SVN 14144 broke this for no readily apparent
reason, and I have no idea what it was even trying to accomplish. Reverted.
messages, C) can show the current association (if any) when called
with only one argument. Update the documentation a lot too.
Remind me to add a test suite for this thing. I think I've figured out
how to handle root-only testsuites...
chunk of data when they get it and not block until they've buffered 4k.
The use case was cat /proc/psaux, but you can also reproduce this by
running non-busybox cat by itself and typing things at the command line.
Then run busybox cat. Notice how cat is _supposed_ to echo each line back
to us as we hit enter?
find_root_device.c. (We #include it in busybox.h but not libbb.h, it seems.
Someday, someone's going to have to clarify for me the difference between
those two...)
- new bb_getopt_ulflags features: check max and min args, convert first argv to options special for ar and tar applets
- use bb_default_error_retval for env applet
- more long opt compatibility, can set flag for long opt struct now
- more logic: check opt-depend requires and global requires, special for 'id' and 'start-stop-daemon' applets.
appended to an executable that's being run (yes, I'm doing this) you get
EPERM, but mounting readonly fixes it. Doing the fallback all the time
shouldn't hurt, and is one less test.
- change llist_add_to_end as proposed by vodz in http://busybox.net/lists/busybox/2005-September/016411.html
- remove unneeded includes, add short boilerplate and copyright to llist.c
- move COMM_LEN from find_pid_by_name to libbb.h and use it in procps_status_t
- add reverse_pidlist() to find_pid_by_name. Will be needed for pidof.
as far as I can tell, are no longer relevant. Modern busybox refuses to
build under libc5 (there's a specific test and #error for that), and
I'm not sure building against 2.1 kernel headers on Alpha was ever relevant.
I'm happy to put any of this back if anybody can point to a real need for it,
but if so we need to specifically document what environment is being
compensated for. (And we should quarrantine the build environment code
into one place, anyway. Maybe "quirks.h" for known compiler and
libc quirks?)
the result of the ioctl so callers can tell if we have a tty. (0 means
we have a tty, nonzero means the ioctl couldn't find size info and we
fake 80x24. Really we should fake 80x25, but oh well...)
things down a bit, fixed a number of funky corner cases, added support for
several new features (things like mount --move, mount --bind, lazy unounts,
automatic detection of loop mounts, and so on). Probably broke several
other things, but it's fixable. (Bang on it, tell me what doesn't work for
you...)
Note: you no longer need to say "-o loop". It does that for you when
necessary.
Still need to add "user mount" support, which involves making mount suid. Not
too hard to do under the new infrastructure, just haven't done it yet...
The previous code had the following notes, that belong in the version

- * 3/21/1999 Charles P. Wright <cpwright@cpwright.com>
- * searches through fstab when -a is passed
- * will try mounting stuff with all fses when passed -t auto
- *
- * 1999-04-17 Dave Cinege...Rewrote -t auto. Fixed ro mtab.

- * 1999-10-07 Erik Andersen <andersen@codepoet.org>.
- * Rewrite of a lot of code. Removed mtab usage (I plan on

- * major adjustments to option parsing, and some serious

BTW: I've ripped out a lot of debug code and changed c++ // comments to /* */
as both were rather confusing for a newbie like me. ;-)
Sorry to the author for that.
I know that this makes mantaining the code easier, but I'm simple minded....
This is a first attempt to improve the comments of getopt_ulflags.c.
Maybe under some aspects the text could be refined, but so
far it is already usable and should help people who "avoided getopt_ulflags as the pest" to understand how it works.
This patch was created with the help of
Vodz, the author of the code, who explained me patiently
how getopt_ulflags works
and with the help of
Paul Fox, who corrected my broken english.
So thanks and merits should go to them also.
Is the change on libbb/loop.c which you commited in 2005/1/3 effective
really?
The __GLIBC__ macro and __UCLIBC__ macro are defined in
feature.h in glibc source, so the change may not be effective.
If you want to check this with __GLIBC__, feature.h header is needed.
Some architectures(e.g. PPC series) need to include linux/posix_types.h
in stead of asm/posix_types.h, so the patch which is attached with
this mail include <linux/posix_types.h>.
Hi to all,
This patch contains just some fixes for some misleading
comments in my_getpwuid.c and my_getug.c.
The code is untouched so this patch will not
cause troubles.
Please apply.
Thanks in advance and Ciao,
Tito
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.
egor
Scenario:
touch x -- creates plain file name `x'
mkdir x -- exits successefully
libbb/make_directory.c, bb_make_directory(), contains
the following code:
if (mkdir(path, 0777) < 0) {
/* If we failed for any other reason than the directory
* already exists, output a diagnostic and return -1.*/
if (errno != EEXIST) {
fail_msg = "create";
umask(mask);
break;
}
/* Since the directory exists, don't attempt to change
* permissions if it was the full target. Note that
* this is not an error conditon. */
if (!c) {
umask(mask);
return 0;
}
}
The assumption that EEXIST error is due to that the *directory*
already exists is wrong: any file type with that name will cause
this error to be returned. Proper way IMHO will be is to stat()
the path and check whenever this is really a directory. Below
(attached) is a patch to fix this issue.
Hi Erik,
Hi to all,
This is part five of the my_get*id story.
I've tweaked a bit this two functions to make them more flexible,
but this changes will not affect existing code.
Now they work so:
1) my_getpwuid( char *user, uid_t uid, int bufsize)
if bufsize is > 0 char *user cannot be set to NULL
on success username is written on static allocated buffer
on failure uid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned
if bufsize is = 0 char *user can be set to NULL
on success username is returned
on failure NULL is returned
if bufsize is < 0 char *user can be set to NULL
on success username is returned
on failure an error message is printed and the program exits
2) 1) my_getgrgid( char *group, uid_t uid, int bufsize)
if bufsize is > 0 char *group cannot be set to NULL
on success groupname is written on static allocated buffer
on failure gid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned
if bufsize is = 0 char *group can be set to NULL
on success groupname is returned
on failure NULL is returned
if bufsize is < 0 char *group can be set to nULL
on success groupname is returned
on failure an error message is printed and the program exits
This changes were needed mainly for my new id applet.
It is somewhat bigger then the previous but matches the behaviour of GNU id
and is capable to handle usernames of whatever length.
BTW: at a first look it seems to me that it will integrate well (with just a few changes)
with the pending patch in patches/id_groups_alias.patch.
The increase in size is balanced by the removal of my_getpwnamegid.c
from libbb as this was used only in previous id applet and by size optimizations
made possible in whoami.c and in passwd.c.
I know that we are in feature freeze but I think that i've tested it enough
(at least I hope so.......).
