hush (a Bourne-style shell) for the GNO multitasking environment on the Apple IIgs

Rob Landley 25d82397f7 The last patch broke:
sed -i "/^boo/a fred" ipsec.conf

Which works in gnu sed.  (And is _supposed_ to strip all the whitespace before
"fred".)

It also broke:
sed -i -e "/^boo/a \\" -e "   fred" ipsec.conf

I.E. there can legally be spaces between the a and the backslash at the end of
the line.

And strangely enough, gnu sed accepts the following syntax as well:
sed -i "/^boo/a \\  fred" ipsec.conf

Which is a way of having the significant whitespace at the start of the line,
all on one line.  (But notice that the whitespace BEFORE the slash is still
stripped, as is the slash itself.  And notice that the naieve placement of
"\n" there doesn't work, it puts an n at the start of the appended line.  The
double slashing is for shell escapes because you could escape the quote, you
see.  It's turned into a single backslash.  But \n there is _not_ turned into
a newline by the shell.  So there.)

This makes all three syntaxes work in my tests.  I should probably start
writing better documentation at some point.  I posted my current sedtests.py
file to the list, which needs a lot more tests added as well...

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities
you usually find in GNU coreutils, util-linux, etc. The utilities in BusyBox
generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the
options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very
much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX
environment for any small or embedded system.

BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind.
It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or
features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded
systems. To create a working system, just add /dev, /etc, and a Linux kernel.

BusyBox is extremely configurable.  This allows you to include only the
components you need, thereby reducing binary size. Run 'make config' or
'make menuconfig' for select the functionality that you wish to enable.

After the build is complete, a busybox.links file is generated.  This is
used by 'make install' to create symlinks to the BusyBox binary for all
compiled in functions.  By default, 'make install' will place the symlink
forest into `pwd`/_install unless you have defined the PREFIX environment
variable (i.e., 'make PREFIX=/tmp/foo install')

If you wish to install hard links, rather than symlinks, you can use
'make PREFIX=/tmp/foo install-hardlinks' instead.

----------------

Supported architectures:

   BusyBox in general will build on any architecture supported by gcc.  It has
   a few specialized features added for __sparc__ and __alpha__.  insmod
   functionality is currently limited to x86, ARM, SH3/4, powerpc, m68k,
   MIPS, cris, and v850e.

Supported C Libraries:

   glibc-2.0.x, glibc-2.1.x, glibc-2.2.x, glibc-2.3.x, uClibc.  People
   are looking at newlib and diet-libc, but consider them unsupported,
   untested, or worse.  Linux-libc5 is no longer supported -- you
   should probably use uClibc instead if you want a small C library.

Supported kernels:

   Full functionality requires Linux 2.2.x or better.  A large fraction of the
   code should run on just about anything.  While the current code is fairly
   Linux specific, it should be fairly easy to port the majority of the code
   to, say, FreeBSD or Solaris, or MacOsX, or even Windows (if you are into that
   sortof thing).

Getting help:

When you find you need help, you can check out the BusyBox mailing list
archives at http://busybox.net/lists/busybox/ or even join
the mailing list if you are interested.

----------------

Bugs:

If you find bugs, please submit a detailed bug report to the BusyBox mailing
list at busybox@mail.busybox.net.  A well-written bug report should include a
transcript of a shell session that demonstrates the bad behavior and enables
anyone else to duplicate the bug on their own machine. The following is such
an example:

    To: busybox@mail.busybox.net
    From: diligent@testing.linux.org
    Subject: /bin/date doesn't work

    Package: BusyBox
    Version: 1.00

    When I execute BusyBox 'date' it produces unexpected results.
    With GNU date I get the following output:

	$ date
	Sat Mar 27 14:19:41 MST 2004

    But when I use BusyBox date I get this instead:

	$ date
	illegal instruction

    I am using Debian unstable, kernel version 2.4.25-vrs2 on a Netwinder,
    and the latest uClibc from CVS.  Thanks for the wonderful program!

	-Diligent

Note the careful description and use of examples showing not only what BusyBox
does, but also a counter example showing what an equivalent GNU app does.  Bug
reports lacking such detail may never be fixed...  Thanks for understanding.
