bb_info_msg() had only a handful of users, so it looked inconsistent: "if most applets can live without it, maybe all of them could?" > And why where some changes > to printf and other to bb_error_msg?? Also, noted a major changes in the > text, where before they started with a capital letter, but now are all lower > case? Logging messages almost everywhere were emitted via bb_error_msg. Thus, bb_info_msg's which were emitting log messages were converted to bb_error_msg. Since bb_error_msg prefixes applet name, capitalization was changed. bb_info_msg's which emitted other messages were converted to printfs, IOW: no change in functionality (still goes to stdout, still not prefixed). _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
