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
control comments:
- * 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
- * putting it back as a compile-time option some time),
- * major adjustments to option parsing, and some serious
- * dieting all around.
- *
- * 1999-11-06 mtab support is back - andersee
- *
- * 2000-01-12 Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>, Borrowed utils-linux's
- * mount to add loop support.
- *
- * 2000-04-30 Dave Cinege <dcinege@psychosis.com>
- * Rewrote fstab while loop and lower mount section. Can now do
- * single mounts from fstab. Can override fstab options for single
- * mount. Common mount_one call for single mounts and 'all'. Fixed
- * mtab updating and stale entries. Removed 'remount' default.

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.
