| 6 | return EXIT_SUCCESS or EXIT_FAILURE to the system. |
| 7 | Now TRUE and FALSE are set to the C standard where TRUE=1. |

Eric Andersen | 21adca7 | 2000-12-06 18:18:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 11 | * Alcove, Julien Gaulmin <julien.gaulmin@alcove.fr> and |

| 13 | and StrongArm, and suport for lsmod on older 2.0.x kernels. |

Eric Andersen | 4bfb6b7 | 2000-11-29 21:39:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 15 | an included shell script called unrpm as a front end to it. There's |

| 38 | * Gaute B Strokkenes <gs234@cam.ac.uk> -- applets found using a |
| 39 | binary search instead of linear search. Much faster! |
| 40 | * new applets: cmp readlink |
| 41 | * Mark Whitley -- Removed advertising clause of Berkeley license |
| 42 | according to decision by the Regents of the University of |
| 43 | California; included reference |

Eric Andersen | 896fa4e | 2000-09-24 02:42:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 79 | * syslogd can now log messages to remote hosts -- patch thanks |

Eric Andersen | 79565b6 | 2000-08-11 18:10:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 85 | It now weighs only 2.25k (3k when full featured). The code is |
| 86 | cleaner too, thanks to Allen Soard <esp-software@mail.hypermart.net> |

Eric Andersen | 960be79 | 2000-07-11 18:06:01 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 104 | * Better portability. Now should compile cleanly with libc5, |
| 105 | GNU libc 2.0 and 2.1, and various Linux kernels including |
| 106 | 2.0.x, 2.2.x, and to 2.4.0-test*. (patch for 2.4.x kernels |

Eric Andersen | 8845adc | 2000-07-06 22:51:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 112 | * Fixed tar creation support when reading from stdin ('tar -cf - . ') |

Eric Andersen | 10dc9d4 | 2000-06-26 10:45:52 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 114 | * Updates to handle Linux 2.4.0 kernels (kludged around the |
| 115 | "none" entries in /proc/mounts, added a hack to make sysinfo |
| 116 | work with both old and new kernels). |
Eric Andersen | ef40aa8 | 2000-06-26 11:16:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 117 | * Fixed insmod module option parsing for options lacking an '='. |

Eric Andersen | 5331025 | 2000-07-04 19:42:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 121 | * Several fixes from Marius Groeger <mag@sysgo.de> |
| 122 | - Added support for "sh -c command args..." |
| 123 | - Fixed globbing, i.e. 'echo * *' and 'echo "******"' now work. |
| 124 | - Added shell environment variable substitution |
| 125 | - Added the "read" shell builtin. |
| 126 | * Fixed cursor editing in cmdedit.c. The following keyboard sequence |
| 127 | used to create an infinite loop: ls, cursor up, left, down. |
Eric Andersen | 5d41d60 | 2000-06-29 20:20:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 128 | * Added support for being a login shell, so things like |
| 129 | '-su' or '-sh' (stuff where argv[0][0]=='-') will now always |
| 130 | invoke the shell. Now you can use BusyBox as a login shell. |
Eric Andersen | 7c31ea4 | 2000-07-03 14:55:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 131 | * ls.c now ignores '-g', since some ftp clients like that sort |
| 132 | of thing. Patch thanks to David Vrabel <dvrabel@arcom.co.uk> |
Eric Andersen | 5331025 | 2000-07-04 19:42:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 133 | * Fix to init.c from Stuart Menefy <Stuart.Menefy@st.com> so that |

| 136 | - Fixed tr so it recognizes standard escape sequences. |
| 137 | Merged common escape seq. code from tr and echo into utility.c. |
| 138 | - Major work in updating/cleaning up the docs, and getting the |
| 139 | new SGML based docs into shape. |
Eric Andersen | f1f6d58 | 2000-07-11 17:42:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 140 | - cleanup of ar.c |
Eric Andersen | bb374a6 | 2000-07-07 19:33:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 141 | - BusyBox should now poweroff when asked to do so. |

| 146 | it just echoed a ^? for backspace, and ^H for control-h. This |
| 147 | was due to a broken macro in init.c, that is now fixed. |
Eric Andersen | e6b9dfa | 2000-07-07 20:54:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 148 | * Removed sfdisk from BusyBox. It was buggy, fat, and we really |
| 149 | couldn't maintain it very well, so including it was not really |
| 150 | very appropriate. Those wanting an fdisk are invited to |
| 151 | grab a copy from util-linux. |
Eric Andersen | 61dc057 | 2000-07-11 17:29:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 152 | * Added 'dumpkmap' to allow people to dump a binary keymap, which can |

Eric Andersen | d006c9e | 2000-07-11 17:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 156 | * Brand, new versions of grep and sed which use libc regex routines, |

Erik Andersen | 73c8c9c | 2000-05-13 05:36:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 168 | * Added BB_FEATURE_TRIVIAL_HELP which compiles out most all of the |

Erik Andersen | 7ab9c7e | 2000-05-12 19:41:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 170 | * Added cut and tr from minix, since due to the license change, |

Erik Andersen | 5afc864 | 2000-05-02 00:07:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 206 | * whoami used getpwuid(3) which uses libc NSS. Now it behaves. |
Erik Andersen | 0e713ce | 2000-05-05 19:50:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 207 | * Add support for "noatime" and "nodiratime" mount flags to mount. |

Erik Andersen | 59b9e87 | 2000-05-10 05:05:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 212 | * cp -fa now works as expected for symlinks (it didn't before) |

Erik Andersen | 330fd2b | 2000-05-19 05:35:19 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 214 | * Renamed "mnc" to the more correct "nc" (for netcat). |

Eric Andersen | 0c6a970 | 2000-06-09 20:51:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 246 | * Fixed a small bug that could cause tar to emit warning messages |

| 248 | of nested directories. Thanks to Kevin Traas <kevin@netmaster.com> |
| 249 | for helping track this one down. |

John Beppu | 0021679 | 2000-06-21 19:06:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 254 | * math was renamed to dc. Although it deviates from dc's behaviour, |

Erik Andersen | e5b6c7d | 2000-04-17 16:16:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 270 | * Major update to the provided documentation. |
Erik Andersen | d75af99 | 2000-03-16 08:09:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 271 | * Busybox now includes a shell! It currently costs 7.5 k (plus an |
| 272 | additional 2.5 k if you compile in command line editing). Handles |
| 273 | job control, has the usual set of builtins, and does everything |
| 274 | except for handling programming statements (if, while, etc...) |
Erik Andersen | 2ac2fae | 2000-03-07 23:32:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 275 | * Busybox can now work perfectly when /proc is disabled, thereby |
Erik Andersen | 269bba2 | 2000-03-08 14:50:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 276 | saving a bunch of memory (kernel /proc support is not thin). This |
| 277 | is done by making use of some nice kernel patches I wrote up to |
| 278 | support the features that busybox requires and that /proc usually |
| 279 | provides. To enable this, turn on BB_FEATURE_USE_DEVPS_PATCH and |
| 280 | patch your kernel with the devps patch in the kernel-patches/ |
| 281 | directory. |
Erik Andersen | 9cf3bfa | 2000-04-13 18:49:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 282 | * Wrote basename, dirname, killall, and uptime. |
Erik Andersen | 0817d13 | 2000-04-09 15:17:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 283 | * tar has been completely rewritten by me. Both tar creation and |
| 284 | extraction are now well behaved. Costs 7.6k with all optional |
| 285 | tar features enabled, and 5k for just tar extraction support. |
Erik Andersen | 6437170 | 2000-03-04 22:23:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 286 | * Added freeramdisk, which will free up all memory associated |
| 287 | with a ram disk. Contributed by Emanuele Caratti <wiz@iol.it> |
| 288 | and then adjusted a bit by me. |
Erik Andersen | 9cf3bfa | 2000-04-13 18:49:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 289 | * Added tr from John Lombardo <john@deltanet.com> |

Erik Andersen | b9167cb | 2000-04-18 22:41:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 292 | * BusyBox's bss size has been majorly reduced (was 384668, is now 28740). |
Pavel Roskin | 339b892 | 2000-06-20 00:11:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 293 | * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>: |
Erik Andersen | 9cf3bfa | 2000-04-13 18:49:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 294 | - When `tail' fails to open a file it now exits. |
Erik Andersen | e272915 | 2000-02-18 21:34:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 295 | - When `syslogd' is given the `-n' option it should still use |
| 296 | fork() for running klogd. |
| 297 | * nslookup types are now changed to u_int32_t (instead of uint32_t) |
| 298 | changed per a patch from Pascal Bellard <pascal.bellard@ascend.com> |
Erik Andersen | 42387e4 | 2000-02-21 17:27:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 299 | * Fixed "du" so it gives the same answers as GNU "du" (busybox du used |
| 300 | to count hard-linked files more then once). Many thanks to |
Erik Andersen | 27fdd08 | 2000-02-19 18:16:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 301 | Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de> for the fix. |
Erik Andersen | 5b911dd | 2000-02-23 22:49:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 302 | * Removed /proc dependancies for init and free (while maintaining |
| 303 | exactly the same functionality). /proc takes up 90k of kernel |
| 304 | space, so it is nice to avoid using it at all costs. |
| 305 | * init no longer tries to mount /proc (unless there is less the 1 meg |
| 306 | free). Use of /proc (or not) is policy that should be set up in |
| 307 | /etc/fstab (or in hardcoded scripts), not in init. |
| 308 | * Fixed rebooting when init runs as an initrd. |
Erik Andersen | 029011b | 2000-03-04 21:19:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 309 | * Fixes and updates from Karl M. Hegbloom <karlheg@debian.org> |
| 310 | - update.c rewritten to look more like update-2.11 |
| 311 | - moveed the inode hash out of du.c and into utility.c to make |
| 312 | it a common resource that can be used by other apps. |
| 313 | - cp_mv.c now checks inodes to see if a source and dest are |
| 314 | the same, and prints an error (instead of endlessly looping). |
| 315 | - mv now attempts to do a rename, and will fall back to doing |
| 316 | a copy only if the rename fails. |
Erik Andersen | 183da4a | 2000-04-04 18:36:37 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 317 | - Syslogd now supports multiple concurrent connections |
Pavel Roskin | 339b892 | 2000-06-20 00:11:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 318 | * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>: |
Erik Andersen | 029011b | 2000-03-04 21:19:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 319 | - Fixes to sort. Removed "-g", fixed and added "-r" |
| 320 | - Fixes to the makefile for handling "strip" |
| 321 | * An initial telnet implementation was added by |
| 322 | Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>. |
Erik Andersen | 246cc6d | 2000-03-07 07:41:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 323 | * Fixed a bug where "sed 's/foo/bar/g'" (i.e. a script w/o a "-e") |
Erik Andersen | 2ac2fae | 2000-03-07 23:32:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 324 | * ps now supports BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH, and can adjust its width |
| 325 | to match the terminal (defaults to width=79 when this is off). |
Erik Andersen | a3e57ca | 2000-04-19 03:38:01 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 326 | * ps now accepts (and ignores) all options except for "--help" (which |
| 327 | as would be expected displays help). |
Erik Andersen | ce91732 | 2000-03-13 04:07:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 328 | * Fixed mount'ing loop devices when the filesystem type was not |
| 329 | specified. It used to revert to non-loop after the first try. |
Erik Andersen | 0d068a2 | 2000-03-21 22:32:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 330 | * all mallocs now use xmalloc (and so are OOM error safe), and |
| 331 | the common error handling saves a few bytes. Thanks to |
| 332 | Bob Tinsley <bob@earthrise.demon.co.uk> for the patch. |
Erik Andersen | 298854f | 2000-03-23 01:09:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 333 | * Fix "+" parsing bug in date, from "Merle F. McClelland" <mfm@cts.com>. |
Erik Andersen | b9167cb | 2000-04-18 22:41:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 334 | * Fix symlink following bug in chmod -R and friends. |
| 335 | * Now allows SYSV style 'chown foo:bar' in addition to 'chown foo.bar' |

| 337 | no longer segfaults. |

Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 348 | * Added a bunch of functions to mtab.c to interact with the |

Erik Andersen | fac10d7 | 2000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 350 | not appear to be re-entrant, and that causes a lot of problems with |

Erik Andersen | fac10d7 | 2000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 364 | * Also added a warning message to the `mv' usage string saying that |
| 365 | this is not GNU mv, and it will break hard links. cp also breaks |
| 366 | hard links. |
| 367 | * ln.c: implemented `-n' switch, no-deref symlinks. |
Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 368 | * include<sys/param.h>: and use PATH_MAX everywhere. busybox: File |

Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 373 | - recursiveAction was overriding the value of followLinks thus |

Erik Andersen | de55287 | 2000-01-23 01:34:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 394 | * Added a closelog() to init.c after loging -- fix thanks to |

Erik Andersen | 27fdd08 | 2000-02-19 18:16:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 406 | * Added (and documented) "-n" option for head |

| 409 | * Cosmetic fix to busybox.c (Don't print a comma at the |
| 410 | end of line if there are no more application names). |
Erik Andersen | ce5b466 | 2000-01-27 19:50:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 411 | * Fixed a stupid bug in "head" option handling ("head -n" |
| 412 | would segfault). |
Erik Andersen | 3fe39dc | 2000-01-25 18:13:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 413 | * Moved commonly used functions "xmalloc()" and "exit()" |

Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 416 | tail -f work only with a single file. This reduced tail from 6k to |

Erik Andersen | 5cbdd71 | 2000-01-26 20:06:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 419 | * Ping now falls back to doing the right thing if /etc/protocols |
| 420 | turns up missing. |
| 421 | * Fixed mount and umount. Previously they could leak loop device |
| 422 | allocations, causing the system to quickly run out. Fix for umount |
| 423 | by Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>, and mount was fixed by me. |
Erik Andersen | ce5b466 | 2000-01-27 19:50:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 424 | * ls formatting on eight charactor user names fixed by |

Erik Andersen | fac10d7 | 2000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 429 | - `chown' with 1 argument displayed the error incorrectly |
Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 430 | - `fdflush', `length' and `printf' crashed if run without arguments |
Erik Andersen | fac10d7 | 2000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 431 | - `fdflush' tried to flush itself using *argv |

Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 433 | - ls no longer messus up output when combining files and |
| 434 | directories on the command line |
Erik Andersen | bf5f009 | 2000-02-14 18:44:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 435 | * swapoff -a was not working. Now it is. |
| 436 | * init did not cleanly unmount filesystems on reboot. Now it does. |
| 437 | * "sed -ne s/foo/bar/" worked but "sed -n -e s/foo/bar/" didn't. |
Erik Andersen | 4d05431 | 2000-02-10 07:31:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 438 | Now both work. |
| 439 | * Some architectures (PowerPc) assume chars are unsigned, so they could |
| 440 | not distinguish between EOF and '\0xFF' in sed. Sed now uses ints. |
Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 441 | * Began converting error handling to use some common routines |
| 442 | in utility.c |
| 443 | * syslogd now has better message handling and ignores SIGHUP. |
| 444 | * install.sh had a bug preventing installation to the specified |
| 445 | target directory. Fix from Gilbert Coville <gilbert@mvista.com> |
| 446 | * You can now spefify alternative strip commands -- change |
| 447 | also from Gilbert Coville. |

Erik Andersen | 3163821 | 2000-01-15 22:28:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 479 | * Fixed a bug in setting TERM for serial console support. TERM now |

Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 579 | * Fixed 'make install' so symlinks are installed in their proper |
| 580 | * locations. Changed the build system slightly so that features can |
| 581 | * now be enabled |
| 582 | or disabled from the busybox.defs.h header file, without trying to |
| 583 | compile in a source file named after that featue (unless that file |
| 584 | exists). |
| 585 | * Several options are now moved into busybox.defs.h Now 'rm -R' and 'rm |
| 586 | * -r' both work. dd now properly handles input beyond 1 block from |
| 587 | * stdin. Fixed a bug where tar unpacked everything a directories. |
| 588 | * Moved some code |
| 589 | from createPath into mkdir where it belonged, thereby making tar |
| 590 | work properly. |
| 591 | * Fixed an off-by-one bug in cat. Given a list of file it wouldn't cat |
| 592 | * out the |
Eric Andersen | 394f764 | 1999-11-23 21:38:12 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 593 | last file in the list. |
Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 594 | * Fixed 'ls -ln' so numeric group/uid are presented properly, and fixed |
| 595 | * 'ls -l' |
| 596 | so when uid/gid is not in /etc/{passwd,group} the numeric group/uid |
| 597 | are presented properly. |
Eric Andersen | 3843e96 | 1999-11-25 07:30:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 598 | * Also added a TODO. |

Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 609 | * Made createPath be quiet (again thanks to Eric Delaunay). If |
| 610 | * BB_CONSOLE_CMD_IF_RC_SCRIPT_EXITS is defined, then whatever |
Eric Andersen | b6a44b8 | 1999-11-13 04:47:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 611 | command you define it as will be run if the init script exits. |
Eric Andersen | ded6259 | 1999-11-18 00:19:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 612 | * Updated install.sh to make it more robust (thanks to Adam Di Carlo) |
Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 613 | * NFS support added to mount by Eric Delaunay. It costs 10k when |
| 614 | * compiled |
Eric Andersen | a9c95ea | 1999-11-15 17:33:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 615 | in, but that is still a big win for those that use NFS. |
Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 616 | * Made 'rm -f' be silent for non-existant files (thanks to Eric |
| 617 | * Delaunay). changed zcat.c to gunzip.c. It now obeys the principle |
| 618 | * of least surprise |
| 619 | and acts as god intended gunzip and zcat to act. They answer |
| 620 | --help and obey the '-c' flag. |
| 621 | * Fixed a bug in mv which caused it to not move files when the |
| 622 | * destination |
Eric Andersen | ded6259 | 1999-11-18 00:19:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 623 | was a directory. |
Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 624 | * Fixed a decimal-instead-of-octal bug causing mkdir to make |
| 625 | * directories |
Eric Andersen | ded6259 | 1999-11-18 00:19:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 626 | with very wrong permissions. |
| 627 | * chmod would overwrite file permissions instead of modifying them. |
| 628 | Now it properly modifies permissions. |
Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 629 | * Init now sends warnings destined for the console to /dev/console to |
| 630 | * ensure |
| 631 | they show up on whatever the active console it. Otherwise |
| 632 | important messages (for example that the system is rebooting) were |
| 633 | not seen when switched to a different VT. |

Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 668 | a side effect of the busybox 0.32 recursiveAction() fix. Things |

| 698 | * arguments. Now it doesn't do that. kill wasn't properly accepting |
| 699 | * signal names. It does now. Added new apps chvt and deallocvt (I |
| 700 | * should probably add open) Major rewrite of init.c. Code is now |
| 701 | * readable by mere mortals IMHO. Wrote sed -- weighs only 1.8k (5.8k |
| 702 | * with full regular expressions!). Fixed a stupid seg-fault in sync |
| 703 | * Fixed mount -- mount -a failed to parse and apply mount options Fixed |
| 704 | * umount -n (patch thanks to Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>) |
| 705 | * umount -a no longer umounts /proc Added BB_MTAB, allowing (at the |
| 706 | * cost of ~1.5k and the need for a rw /etc) |
| 707 | folks to use a real /etc/mtab file instead of a symlink to |
| 708 | /proc/mounts. mount, and umount will add/remove entries and df |
| 709 | will now use /etc/mtab if BB_MTAB is defined. |

| 736 | Major changes -- lots of stuff rewritten. Many thanks to Lineo for |
| 737 | paying me to make these updates. If you have any problems with busybox, |
Eric Andersen | aa0765e | 1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 738 | or notice any bugs -- please let me know so I can fix it. These |
| 739 | changes include: |
| 740 | |
| 741 | Core Changes: |
| 742 | * busybox can now invoke apps in two ways: via symlinks to the |
| 743 | busybox binary, and as 'busybox [function] [arguments]...' |
| 744 | * When invoked as busybox, the list of currently compiled in |
Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 745 | functions is printed out (no this is not bloat -- the list has |
| 746 | to be there anyway to map invocation name to function). |
Eric Andersen | aa0765e | 1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 747 | * busybox no longer parses command lines for apps or displays their |
| 748 | usage info. Each app gets to handle (or not handle) this for |
| 749 | itself. |
| 750 | * Eliminated monadic, dyadic, descend, block_device, and |
| 751 | postprocess. It was cumbersome to have so many programs |
| 752 | cobbled together in this way. Without them, the app is much |
| 753 | more granular. |
| 754 | * All shared code now lives in utility.c, and is properly |
| 755 | ifdef'ed to be only included for those apps requiring it. |
| 756 | * Eliminated struct FileInfo (the basis of monadic, dyadic, etc) |
Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 757 | so now each app has the function prototype of (da-dum): extern |
| 758 | int foo_main(int argc, char** argv); which speeds integration |
| 759 | of new apps. |
Eric Andersen | aa0765e | 1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 760 | * Adjusted the Makefile to make it easier to |
| 761 | {en|dis}able debugging. |
| 762 | * Changed default compiler optimization to -Os |
| 763 | (optimize for smaller binaries). |
| 764 | |
| 765 | App Changes: |
| 766 | * To cope with the new app function prototype and the removal of |
| 767 | monadic, dyadic, etc, the following apps were re-written: |
Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 768 | * cat - Works same as always. chgrp, chmod, chown - |
| 769 | * rewrite. Combined into a single |
| 770 | source file. Absorbed patches from Enrique Zanardi |
| 771 | <ezanard@debian.org> that removes the dependency on |
| 772 | libc6 libnss* libraries. |
Eric Andersen | aa0765e | 1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 773 | * cp - Can now do 'cp -a' can can copy devices, |
Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 774 | pipes, symlinks, as well as recursive or non-recursive |
| 775 | dir copies. |
| 776 | * fdflush - adjusted to remove dependancy on struct |
| 777 | * FileInfo. find - Now includes some basic regexp matching |
Eric Andersen | aa0765e | 1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 778 | which will be the basic of a future mini-sed. |
Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 779 | * ln - Same functionality. mkdir - Added -p flag to |
| 780 | * feature set. mv - rewrite. rm - Added -f flag to |
| 781 | * feature set. rmdir - Same functionality. swapon, |
| 782 | * swapoff - Combined into a single binary. No longer |
| 783 | uses /etc/swaps. swap{on|off} -a uses /etc/fstab |
| 784 | instead. |
| 785 | * touch - Same functionality. date - adjusted with a patch |
| 786 | * from Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz> |
| 787 | to accomodate glibc timezone support. I then ripped out GNU |
| 788 | getopt. |
Erik Andersen | 6acaa40 | 2000-03-26 14:03:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 789 | * mkswap -- new version merged from util-linux. Can now make |
| 790 | >128Meg swaps. |
| 791 | * Replaced the old and star, unstar, and tarcat with the tar |
| 792 | implementation from sash. Now tar behaves as god intended it |
| 793 | to (i.e. tar -xvf <file> and tar -cf <file> <dir> work). |
Erik Andersen | 9ffdaa6 | 2000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 794 | * dd -- rewritten. Can with with files, stdin, stdout. Added the |
