Coding Style
------------
Before you submit your applet for inclusion in BusyBox, (or better yet, before
you _write_ your applet) please read through the style guide in the docs
directory and make your program compliant.
Some Words on utility.c
-----------------------
As you are writing your applet, please be aware of the body of pre-existing
useful functions in utility.c. Use these instead of reinventing the wheel.
If you use functions from utility.c, you may need to add to the preprocessor
conditionals in that file, to make sure the routines you need are included.
So, since your mu implementation used safe_read(), append "|| define BB_MU" to
the #if instruction that precedes the safe_read() function in utility.c .
Additionally, if you have any useful, general-purpose functions in your
program that could be useful in another program, consider putting them in
utility.c.
Furthermore, please read through the style guide in the docs directory and
make your program compliant.
