Hence, the proposed function to compare two addresses:
addr_comp() {
test $(bc <<EOF
$1 > $2
EOF
) -eq 1
}
That will sure make your parents proud. To compare two numbers, you only
have to fork(), pipe(), exec(), ...
Brian: If you copy/paste the above into your BusyBox shell, do you get these
results?
$ addr_comp 2953838592 1107296256 && echo Yes || echo No
Yes
$ addr_comp 1107296256 2953838592 && echo Yes || echo No
No
