2000-09-22Clean up error messages.Matt Kraai
2000-09-13Fix calls to {m,c,re}alloc so that they use x{m,c,re}alloc instead ofMatt Kraai
segfaulting or handling errors the same way themselves.
2000-09-11Fix .deb unpack and experimental TAR supportGlenn L McGrath
The previous ar.c fialed to recognise one record in .debs Experimental tar support, this is currently *very* cheap because ar and tar are functionally similar. It will need lots of testing so by default tar support code is defined out. To test uncomment the line "#define BB_AR_EXPERIMENTAL_UNTAR"
2000-09-11Simplify a few little things, and merge in a patch fromEric Andersen
robotti@metconnect.com so that 'ar -xv' and 'ar -x -v' both work. -Erik
2000-09-09remove some printf statements i forgot aboutGlenn L McGrath
2000-09-09Implemented new ar functionality unique to busybox ar (i think), the -RGlenn L McGrath
option enable a Recursive extraction (or listing) to take place. i.e. if any files being extracted are themselves ar archives then busybox ar will extract their contents as well. e.g. take bar.deb and do (with GNU ar) ar -q foo.deb b.ar then with busybox ar can do ar -x b.ar data.tar.gz -R isnt used for anything in GNU ar so i think it should be ok, could have used long options This functionality will become (more) usufull with tar, gz support.
2000-09-09Changed getopt so that options can be grouped together, the sourceGlenn L McGrath
archive is now assumed to be the first non parameter. This is how GNU ar behaves.
2000-09-09Fix permisionsGlenn L McGrath
2000-09-09Now supports GNU style long filenames.Glenn L McGrath
If no filenames are specifed to be (extracted/listed) it will act on all files in the archive (i dont think the old version did this) Code is structured to better support upcoming recursive extraction functionality. The old code was a bit strange in places, dont know what i was thinking.
2000-08-25ar.c now uses a linked list to process headers, uses getopt, new internal ↵Glenn L McGrath
function extractAr(srcFD, dstFd, filename) to make it easily accessable to other busybox functions. moved copySubFile from ar.c to utilities.c modified dd.c to use fullWrite modified copyFile in utilities.c to use copySubFile
2000-08-11Fix to make 'ar xv' work, thanks to Kent Robotti <robotti@metconnect.com>Eric Andersen

2000-07-16Extract usage information into a separate file.Matt Kraai
2000-07-12Always report the applet name when doing error reporting.Matt Kraai
2000-07-05Patch from Matt Kraai <kraai@alumni.carnegiemellon.edu> toEric Andersen
simplify ar.c and make it more readable. -Erik
2000-06-16Update to ar.c from Glenn McGrath. His comments follow:Eric Andersen
------------------------------ the attached diff applies to the ar.c i originally submitted Changes Preserve dates now works. Extracted files are set to the uid, gid and mode specified in the archive. Checks for valid end of header marker. Correctly unpacks newer debian files. (has a '\n' character between entries) Added more comments. Cleaned up code. Added a last modified date to help keep track of versions. TODO Common functionality in ar.c are in tar.c should be merged, in particular getOctal and extractSubFile. Should all functions that are used by multiple file go in utilities.c ?
2000-06-02A number of additional fixed from Pavel Roskin, note some more bugs in theEric Andersen
TODO list. Add Glenn to the Authors list for writing a mini ar for BusyBox, which is now included. -Erik
