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.
Both Jason Schoon and Giuseppe Ciotta deserve credit for this, I used elements
of both. It's been upgraded so that you can specify that a given command
should run at create, at delete, or at both using different special characters
(@, $, and * respectively). It uses the system() method of running command
lines which means you can use environment variables on the command line (it
sets $MDEV to the name of the current device being created/deleted, which is
useful if you matched it via regex), and the documentation warns that you need
a /bin/sh to make that work, so you probably want to pick a default shell.
fallout due to the #include <sys/mount.h>. Removed that #include from various
applets and fixed up those that were unhappy when that #include was made
because they'd block copied stuff out of it. (Sigh.)
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.
the following of which (from cat.c) belongs in svn history instead of the
source code:
/* Mar 16, 2003 Manuel Novoa III (mjn3@codepoet.org)
*
* This is a new implementation of 'cat' which aims to be SUSv3 compliant.
*
* Changes from the previous implementation include:
* 1) Multiple '-' args are accepted as required by SUSv3. The previous
* implementation would close stdin and segfault on a subsequent '-'.
* 2) The '-u' options is required by SUSv3. Note that the specified
* behavior for '-u' is done by default, so all we need do is accept
* the option.
*/
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().
files still using them. I didn't remove them from e2fsck.c to avoid stomping
pending cleanup patches from Garrett, and I didn't bother to remove them from
fdisk.c because that entire file needs to be rewritten from scratch.
