2019-08-04Add TOYFLAG_MAYFORK and annotate a couple commands.Rob Landley
A TOYFLAG_NOFORK command must run in the context of toysh, but a MAYFORK can either run standalone or run in the toysh process. MAYFORK means it cleans up after itself: no leaked resources (malloc, mmap, filehandles, etc), even in error_exit() paths that would longjmp() back to the shell. It also doesn't discard anything we need to retain (don't close stdout, change toys.optargs[] so we can't free it, etc)...
2019-04-30Make echo -E switch off -e.Rob Landley
2019-04-30echo: add -E.Elliott Hughes
POSIX finally gave us a way to use echo in a portable way despite differences of opinion about whether to default interpretation of escape sequences to on or off: -e enables and -E disables (as already implemented by busybox and coreutils). http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1222
2019-04-16Add argument to xflush() so it can test for stdout err without flushing.Rob Landley
2018-12-04Clean up some --help formatting.Elliott Hughes
Be consistent about upper versus lower case. (Upper seems to have the majority, so I went with that, though I'm happy to provide the opposite patch as long as we're consistent!) Be consistent about using \t. (Though saving a few bytes seems like it might be better done in the code that generates help.h rather than directly in the source, since tabs make careful ASCII art layout hard enough that we regularly have things misaligned.) Remove trailing periods (most of which seem to have been added by me). Always use the US "human readable" rather than my British "human-readable", and be more consistent about declaring whether we're showing multiples of 1000 or 1024. Just say "verbose" rather than adding a useless "mode" or "output".

2016-08-13Document deviations from posix for echo.Rob Landley
2014-10-18Factor out printf-style escape parsing logic from echo.c.Rob Landley
2012-11-13Reindent to two spaces per level. Remove vi: directives that haven't worked ↵Rob Landley
right in years (ubuntu broke its' vim implementation). Remove trailing spaces. Add/remove blank lines. Re-wordwrap in places. Update documentation with new coding style. The actual code should be the same afterward, this is just cosmetic refactoring.
2012-10-08New build infrastructure to generate FLAG_ macros and TT alias, #define ↵Rob Landley
FOR_commandname before #including toys.h to trigger it. Rename DEFINE_GLOBALS() to just GLOBALS() (because I could never remember if it was DECLARE_GLOBALS). Convert existing commands to use new infrastructure, and replace optflag constants with FLAG_ macros where appropriate.
