[slowly getting OT...]
Looking at coreutils sources, it turns out that there are two files:
test.c and lbracket.c.
test.c is the actual program, and lbracket.c is as follows:
$ cat lbracket.c
#define LBRACKET 1
#include test.c
so, test.c does all the work.
After taking a quick look at the code, seems that the only times LBRACKET
is checked are in the following fragments:
...
/* The official name of this program (e.g., no `g' prefix). */
#if LBRACKET
# define PROGRAM_NAME [
#else
# define PROGRAM_NAME test
#endif
...
if (LBRACKET)
{
/* Recognize --help or --version, but only when invoked in the
[ form, and when the last argument is not ]. POSIX
allows [ --help and [ --version to have the usual GNU
behavior, but it requires test --help and test --version
to exit silently with status 1. */
if (margc 2 || !STREQ (margv[margc - 1], ]))
{
parse_long_options (margc, margv, PROGRAM_NAME, GNU_PACKAGE, VERSION,
usage, AUTHORS, (char const *) NULL);
test_syntax_error (_(missing `]'\n), NULL);
}
--margc;
}
argc = margc;
pos = 1;
...
Again, the above could have been implemented by looking at argv[0].

[gentoo-user] ethereal moved to wireshark
As you probably read yesterday in GWN[1], Ethereal is being removed due to security vulnerabilities[2] and replaced with its successor, Wireshark. Ethereal, as far as anyone can tell, is no longer being developed[3] as all the core developers have moved to Wireshark[4]. To make this transition as painless as possible, a package move has been setup so Ethereal users should automatically upgrade to Wireshark. To keep the saved configuration from Ethereal and reuse it with Wireshark do the following for each user that has a saved Ethereal configuration: cd $HOME mv .ethereal .wireshark [1] http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20060724-newsletter.xml#doc_chap1_sect2 [2] http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200607-09.xml [3] http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-cvs/200605 [4] http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html#q1.2 -- Daniel Black [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo Crypto/dev-embedded/Forensics/NetMon pgpVKgd6OJ1BU.pgp Description: PGP signature

on the command line that invokes it.
There are two cases:
[1] syntax checking is done by the shell, or
[2] syntax checking is done by the program.
The interesting case is [2]. Let's make an oversimplified example.
Suppose you want the commands commandA and commandB.
The syntax for commandA is
commandA arg1 arg2
but commandB takes a third argument, so you invoke it with
commandB arg1 arg2 arg3
This, to me, qualifies as *different* syntax.
Here is how those checks can be implemented _using the same program_.
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include string.h
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
char *progname;
/* the following should actually extract the basename of
the program from argv[0], but to keep things simple
let's assume that the shell does this for us */
progname = argv[0];
if (strcmp(progname, commandA) == 0) {
/* check that we have TWO arguments */
if (argc == 3) {
printf(Ok, running as commandA with two arguments\n);
exit(0);
} else {
printf(Running as commandA, but with the wrong number of
arguments\n);
exit(1);
}
} else if (strcmp(progname, commandB) == 0) {
/* check that we have THREE arguments */
if (argc == 4) {
printf(Ok, running as commandB with three arguments\n);
exit(0);
} else {
printf(Running as commandB, but with the wrong number of
arguments\n);
exit(1);
}
} else {
printf(Bad program name!\n);
exit(1);
}
}
In fact, as I said in a previous post, [ and test are built from the same
source file, and the [ vs. test difference is used only to check for
proper syntax.
