Now that I've built the static binaries for all the targets (which took
a day and a half on my netbook, left running overnight), I'm noticing
some cross-platform bugs. For example, ls -l in x86-64 works fine (even
built against uClibc), but on i686 it prints (null) for the time field,
and on
It's that printf was treating st-blah fields as integers, which had
various behavior based on endianness and word size. (on x86-64 it
coincidentally worked out great, i686 always got null, arm segfaulted,
powerpc corrupted the stack and behaved _really_weird_...)
Fixed. I'm bringing the roadmap

I did it slightly different because the arguments are not files (see

Cleaning up ifconfig, commit 905:

get_strtou() isn't actually needed: it's a wrapper for strtoul() that's
only ever called once. It sets most of its effort setting errno, but
all you need to know is that the endptr from strtou isn't the end of

I started by doing the table cleanup I mentioned last message, bringing
the table back down to three members. I took out the array and made all
three members separate, called name, on, and off, and just had

--- show_ip_addr
The function show_ip_addr() is only ever called from display_ifconfig.
It's called four times in a row, so it's better to have it be a
function that repeated inline four times. However, it's even better to
have it be the body of a loop

It's not musl that's incomplete (so far, anyway), it's my ccwrap.c.
I put description text into commits 912, 914, 916, and 917, all
building on Felix's work. And then the actual mv was its own commit

default n to default y in the same commit so the file wasn't

The split command creates output files. If an output file exists, does
it truncate it? Append to it? Fail? Posix doesn't say.
If you split an empty file, does it create one empty output file, or no
output files?
What are the permissions of the new files?
Maybe I'm not reading the spec
I've been holding off on mv forever, even though it's a commonly used
command that I've got the infrastructure for (it's a simpler version of

The split utility shall read an input file and write one or more
output files.
So the implementation in ubuntu is nonconforming then?

It's been a while. I got a bit blocked on get_sockaddr() cleanup,
because although it's only ever called twice (once for ipv6 and once
for ipv4), I don't understand what the addresses it's parsing should
