yeah, the current NetBSD one was fine; the move to toybox grep is really just since it's our one-stop shop for everything. i don't know how similar the NetBSD and FreeBSD greps are, but i did send NetBSD a patch recently to fix an asan-found issue caused by fgetln(). (btw, i'd be curious to hear what your interest in toybox on FreeBSD is and what your goals are there...) _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
