Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author
2000-12-05	Fixed the comments to match the code and renamed the function to a (hopefully)	Mark Whitley
	more descriptive name, and as per the style guide.
2000-12-01	Stop using TRUE and FALSE for exit status.	Matt Kraai

2000-09-25	Renamed "internal.h" to the more sensible "busybox.h".	Eric Andersen
	-Erik
2000-09-22	Clean up error messages.	Matt Kraai

2000-09-13	Fix calls to {m,c,re}alloc so that they use x{m,c,re}alloc instead of	Matt Kraai
	segfaulting or handling errors the same way themselves.
2000-09-11	Fix .deb unpack and experimental TAR support	Glenn 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"
2000-09-11	Simplify a few little things, and merge in a patch from	Eric Andersen
	robotti@metconnect.com so that 'ar -xv' and 'ar -x -v' both work. -Erik
2000-09-09	remove some printf statements i forgot about	Glenn L McGrath

2000-09-09	Implemented new ar functionality unique to busybox ar (i think), the -R	Glenn 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.
2000-09-09	Changed getopt so that options can be grouped together, the source	Glenn L McGrath
	archive is now assumed to be the first non parameter. This is how GNU ar behaves.
2000-09-09	Fix permisions	Glenn L McGrath

2000-09-09	Now 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.
2000-08-25	ar.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
2000-08-11	Fix to make 'ar xv' work, thanks to Kent Robotti <robotti@metconnect.com>	Eric Andersen
	-Erik
2000-07-16	Extract usage information into a separate file.	Matt Kraai

2000-07-12	Always report the applet name when doing error reporting.	Matt Kraai

2000-07-05	Patch from Matt Kraai <kraai@alumni.carnegiemellon.edu> to	Eric Andersen
	simplify ar.c and make it more readable. -Erik
2000-06-16	Update 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 ?
2000-06-02	A number of additional fixed from Pavel Roskin, note some more bugs in the	Eric Andersen
	TODO list. Add Glenn to the Authors list for writing a mini ar for BusyBox, which is now included. -Erik
