This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.

Erik - please apply.

Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.

Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.

I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.

What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?

Good luck on the 1.00 release!

Hi to all,
I discovered a little bug in hdparm.c
(really two little bugs...I've made...sigh! Mea culpa).
Some vars were  modified only locally and this could lead to wrong
results to be displayed with the -I switch and maybe with others.
Attached is a patch that fix it ( +88b).

Also attached is second patch that reduces the size a little bit:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
    27984     624     900   29508    7344 hdparm.o (without bug-fix)
    28072     624     900   29596    739c hdparm.o (with bug-fix)
    28141     624     900   29665    73e1 hdparm.o (original)
but maybe this one can wait as we are in a feature freeze.

Hi to all,
here is a new patch for bb's devfsd. The news are:

1) Size reduction for the basic setup with no options compiled in from :
     text        data     bss     dec       hex   filename
    10591     392      543    11526   2d06 devfsd.o
    rw-r--r--    1 root     root        18536 Dec 18 21:52 devfsd.o

    to:

    text        data     bss     dec        hex  filename
    9303      392      543    10238    27fe devfsd.o
    rw-r--r--    1 root     root        16528 Dec 18 22:02 devfsd.o

   With this setup you should not expect much output from devfsd
    ( just at start or with -v) and if some error occurs it only exits 1.
   To have more output enable:  " Increases logging (and size)" (+1568 b).

2) The option "Adds function names to program output" was removed from config menu
    and now to enable debug output you can use bb's standard option:
    "Build BusyBox with Debugging symbols".
    Be careful as with this option enabled a lot of data are outputted to /dev/log and/or to stderr.

3) A new option: "Enables the -fg and -np option" was added to config menu  (+128 b).

BTW: option "Adds support for MODLOAD keyword in devsfd.conf"  adds 268 b.

4) The following keywords in devsfd.conf are supported:
   "CLEAR_CONFIG", "INCLUDE", "OPTIONAL_INCLUDE", "RESTORE",
   "PERMISSIONS", "EXECUTE", "COPY", "IGNORE",  "MKOLDCOMPAT",
   "MKNEWCOMPAT","RMOLDCOMPAT", "RMNEWCOMPAT".

   But only if they are written UPPERCASE!!!!!!!!

5)Help text in usage.h was modified.

6)Something that I have forgotten..........

I've tested this for the last week on my box and it seems to work as expected.

Thanks in advance and please apply.

Ciao,

0a57a79e38 Patch from Steven Scholz:
should we rename the define into CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_DMA and
use it for "set" and "get" ???

Since although CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_GET_DMA is _not_ set I still
can use "hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda" to switch the DMA on.
Is this desireable or meant to be like that?

So how about the applied patch?

Here's a bunch of fixes for the watchdog app in busybox. This does a

		- clear the counter immediately instead of sleeping first

	as well as updating the usage information. This has also been switched

Manuel,

    I rewrite bb_getopt_ulflags() function for more universal usage.
    My version support now:
    - options with arguments (optional arg as GNU extension also)
    - complementaly and/or incomplementaly and/or incongruously and/or list
    options
    - long_opt (all applets may have long option, add supporting is trivial)
    This realisation full compatibile from your version.
    Code size grow 480 bytes, but only coreutils/* over compensate this size
    after using new function. Last patch reduced over 800 bytes and not full
    applied to all. "mkdir" and "mv" applets have long_opt now for demonstrate
    trivial addition support long_opt with usage new bb_getopt_ulflags().
    Complementaly and/or incomplementaly and/or incongruously and/or list options
    logic is not trivial, but new "cut" and "grep" applets using this logic
    for examples with full demostrating. New "grep" applet reduced over 300
    bytes.

    Mark,
    Also. I removed bug from "grep" applet.

make xreadlink() return NULL on failure, and make sure everyone
uses the interface correctly.

readlink(2).

04095e58fb Move messages.c to libbb. Make each string in messages.c be its own .o file.
This way, we can new get rid of all that tedious #define rubbish we used to
need to enable specific messages.  This way is enormously simpler, and as a
bonus also ends up saving us 96 bytes.

e76c3b08e1 A number of cleanups. Now compiles with libc5, glibc, and uClibc. Fix a few
shadowed variables.  Move (almost) all syscalls to libbb/syscalls.c, so I can
handle them sanely and all at once.
