2 * added the -v option (inverted search) to grep,
3 updated docs/busybox.pod accordingly. -beppu
6 * Major update to the provided documentation.
7 * Busybox now includes a shell! It currently costs 7.5 k (plus an
8 additional 2.5 k if you compile in command line editing). Handles
9 job control, has the usual set of builtins, and does everything
10 except for handling programming statements (if, while, etc...)
11 * Busybox can now work perfectly when /proc is disabled, thereby
12 saving a bunch of memory (kernel /proc support is not thin). This
13 is done by making use of some nice kernel patches I wrote up to
14 support the features that busybox requires and that /proc usually
15 provides. To enable this, turn on BB_FEATURE_USE_DEVPS_PATCH and
16 patch your kernel with the devps patch in the kernel-patches/
18 * Wrote basename, dirname, killall, and uptime.
19 * tar has been completely rewritten by me. Both tar creation and
20 extraction are now well behaved. Costs 7.6k with all optional
21 tar features enabled, and 5k for just tar extraction support.
22 * Added freeramdisk, which will free up all memory associated
23 with a ram disk. Contributed by Emanuele Caratti <wiz@iol.it>
24 and then adjusted a bit by me.
25 * Added tr from John Lombardo <john@deltanet.com>
26 * Added echo and test (from me).
27 * Added usleep contributed by Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org>
28 * BusyBox's bss size has been majorly reduced (was 384668, is now 28740).
29 * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>:
30 - When `tail' fails to open a file it now exits.
31 - When `syslogd' is given the `-n' option it should still use
32 fork() for running klogd.
33 * nslookup types are now changed to u_int32_t (instead of uint32_t)
34 changed per a patch from Pascal Bellard <pascal.bellard@ascend.com>
35 * Fixed "du" so it gives the same answers as GNU "du" (busybox du used
36 to count hard-linked files more then once). Many thanks to
37 Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de> for the fix.
38 * Removed /proc dependancies for init and free (while maintaining
39 exactly the same functionality). /proc takes up 90k of kernel
40 space, so it is nice to avoid using it at all costs.
41 * init no longer tries to mount /proc (unless there is less the 1 meg
42 free). Use of /proc (or not) is policy that should be set up in
43 /etc/fstab (or in hardcoded scripts), not in init.
44 * Fixed rebooting when init runs as an initrd.
45 * Fixes and updates from Karl M. Hegbloom <karlheg@debian.org>
46 - update.c rewritten to look more like update-2.11
47 - moveed the inode hash out of du.c and into utility.c to make
48 it a common resource that can be used by other apps.
49 - cp_mv.c now checks inodes to see if a source and dest are
50 the same, and prints an error (instead of endlessly looping).
51 - mv now attempts to do a rename, and will fall back to doing
52 a copy only if the rename fails.
53 - Syslogd now supports multiple concurrent connections
54 * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>:
55 - Fixes to sort. Removed "-g", fixed and added "-r"
56 - Fixes to the makefile for handling "strip"
57 * An initial telnet implementation was added by
58 Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
59 * Fixed a bug where "sed 's/foo/bar/g'" (i.e. a script w/o a "-e")
60 * ps now supports BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH, and can adjust its width
61 to match the terminal (defaults to width=79 when this is off).
62 * ps now accepts (and ignores) all options except for "--help" (which
63 as would be expected displays help).
64 * Fixed mount'ing loop devices when the filesystem type was not
65 specified. It used to revert to non-loop after the first try.
66 * all mallocs now use xmalloc (and so are OOM error safe), and
67 the common error handling saves a few bytes. Thanks to
68 Bob Tinsley <bob@earthrise.demon.co.uk> for the patch.
69 * Fix "+" parsing bug in date, from "Merle F. McClelland" <mfm@cts.com>.
70 * Fix symlink following bug in chmod -R and friends.
71 * Now allows SYSV style 'chown foo:bar' in addition to 'chown foo.bar'
72 * Fixed a bug in the busybox globbing routine such that 'find /dir -name [i]'
81 * Fairly massive restructuring of umount.c to deal with remounting
82 busy devices read-only. Adds a -r option to control that; it is
83 optionally compiled in with BB_FEATURE_REMOUNT
84 * Added a bunch of functions to mtab.c to interact with the
85 {get,set,end}mntent interface; as it turns out, those functions do
86 not appear to be re-entrant, and that causes a lot of problems with
87 the way umount was originally written.
88 * Makes init send TERM and KILL (instead of HUP and KILL) on reboot
89 to be more consistent with sysvinit
90 * Changes to init.c to use the new -r option to umount. Also increased
91 the sleep time between the time the TERM and KILL signals are sent
96 * cp.c, mv.c: removed, replaced by cp_mv.c which has been
97 extensively rewritten from the original cp.c.
98 * Fixed cp and mv so if the source and destination are a the
99 same directory it will print an error and continue.
100 * Also added a warning message to the `mv' usage string saying that
101 this is not GNU mv, and it will break hard links. cp also breaks
103 * ln.c: implemented `-n' switch, no-deref symlinks.
104 * include<sys/param.h>: and use PATH_MAX everywhere. busybox: File
105 * name buffer overrun guards to prevent future crashes.
106 - Always check exit status.
107 - Purge all use of `creat()', replace with `open()'.
109 - recursiveAction was overriding the value of followLinks thus
111 - isDirectory now takes a followLinks boolean, updated all callers
112 - copyFile had the followLinks logic reversed.
113 * messages.c: New file. Put common error message strings all in
114 one place in an attempt to shrink the binary a little.
119 * changed fsck_minix.c to reduce its .bss size significantly
121 * Made tar creation support in busybox tar optional. You no longer
122 * _have_ to put a "-" in front of tar options. Tar could inadvertently
123 * change permissions and ownership on
124 certain directories pointed to by symlinks.
125 * Made grep and grep -h do the right thing wrt printing
126 the file name (it failed to print files names in many cases).
127 * Fix a namespace aliasing problem wereby if du was built in, the
128 symlink for both du and dutmp would be installed, or then rm was
129 built in, the symlinks for both rm and rmmod would be installed.
130 * Added a closelog() to init.c after loging -- fix thanks to
131 Taketoshi Sano <kgh12351@nifty.ne.jp>
132 * Rewrote and simplified logger. Added the "-t" option, and made it
133 behave itself a bit better.
134 * Optional support contributed by Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
135 for the kernel init chroot patch by Werner Almesberger, which
136 allows init to chroot to a new device, and umount the old one.
137 * Fixed bug that wouldn't let one chown a symlink -- it would
138 always dereference before. -beppu
139 * Fixed a bug where init could have reference already freed memory.
140 Found and fixed by Taketoshi Sano <kgh12351@nifty.ne.jp>
141 * Several contributions from Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>
142 * Added (and documented) "-n" option for head
143 * Cleanup for a number of usage messages -- also
144 contributed Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>
145 * Cosmetic fix to busybox.c (Don't print a comma at the
146 end of line if there are no more application names).
147 * Fixed a stupid bug in "head" option handling ("head -n"
149 * Moved commonly used functions "xmalloc()" and "exit()"
150 to utility.c (with proper #ifdef's).
151 * Created a tiny tail implementation, removing -c, -q, -v, and making
152 tail -f work only with a single file. This reduced tail from 6k to
153 2.4k. The bigger/more featured tail can still be had by disabling
154 BB_FEATURE_SIMPLE_TAIL in busybox.defs.h
155 * Ping now falls back to doing the right thing if /etc/protocols
157 * Fixed mount and umount. Previously they could leak loop device
158 allocations, causing the system to quickly run out. Fix for umount
159 by Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>, and mount was fixed by me.
160 * ls formatting on eight charactor user names fixed by
161 Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
162 * cp could, when copying symlinks, change permissions of the
163 files pointed to by the symlinks.
164 * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>:
165 - `chown' with 1 argument displayed the error incorrectly
166 - `fdflush', `length' and `printf' crashed if run without arguments
167 - `fdflush' tried to flush itself using *argv
168 - added "skip" and "seek" to dd.
169 - ls no longer messus up output when combining files and
170 directories on the command line
171 * swapoff -a was not working. Now it is.
172 * init did not cleanly unmount filesystems on reboot. Now it does.
173 * "sed -ne s/foo/bar/" worked but "sed -n -e s/foo/bar/" didn't.
175 * Some architectures (PowerPc) assume chars are unsigned, so they could
176 not distinguish between EOF and '\0xFF' in sed. Sed now uses ints.
177 * Began converting error handling to use some common routines
179 * syslogd now has better message handling and ignores SIGHUP.
180 * install.sh had a bug preventing installation to the specified
181 target directory. Fix from Gilbert Coville <gilbert@mvista.com>
182 * You can now spefify alternative strip commands -- change
183 also from Gilbert Coville.
189 * New Apps: wc, hostid, logname, tty, whoami, yes -- all contributed
190 by Edward Betts <edward@debian.org>
191 * Fixed a bug in both cp and mv preventing 'cp foo/README bar'
192 type commands (file in a directory to another directory) from
194 * Fixed a logger bug that caused garbage to be written to the syslog
195 (unless you used busybox syslog, which hid the bug). Thanks to
196 Alex Holden <alex@linuxhacker.org> for the fix.
197 * /bin/true and /bin/false were echoing a blank line when run.
199 * mkdir -p would print an error when asked to mkdir an existing dir
200 with no interveining subdirectories.
201 * Fixed "syslogd -O" so that it works. Added -o loop option for mount,
202 * and support in umount for loop
203 devices. Support is toggled by MOUNT_LOOP feature -- Ben Collins
204 <bcollins@debian.org>
205 * Several fixes from Marco Pantaleoni <panta@prosa.it> compile in
206 * fullWrite() not only if BB_TAR is defined, but also
207 if BB_CP or BB_MV are (fullWrite() is referenced by copyFile())
208 * add some compiler optimizations to further reduce executable size
209 (as a side note, on my machines the largest code is generated
210 by gcc 2.95.2 with -Os ! The smallest by plain gcc 2.7.2.3 with
212 * Compile now won't fail if busybox.def.h defines
213 BB_FEATURE_LINUXRC but not BB_INIT. (init_main used to be
214 referenced, but not compiled)
215 * Fixed a bug in setting TERM for serial console support. TERM now
216 defaults to "ansi" for serial consoles.
217 * Fixed a bug in handling the CONSOLE env. variable for serial
220 -Erik Andersen, Jan 15, 2000
223 * New Apps: sort, uniq. -beppu New Apps: lsmod, rmmod -erik New Apps:
224 * fbset contributed by Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>. New App::
225 * loadacm contributed by Peter Novodvorsky <petya@logic.ru>
226 for loading application character maps for Unicode fonts.
227 * Major init re-work. init now supports inittab (slightly different
228 but similar to sysvinit), allowing me to get all the policy out of
229 init and into the conf file. It works just fine without inittab
230 being present, but if you dont like the defautl behavior you can
231 now do something about it. Init is much cleaner as a result.
232 * Fixed an bug in syslogd causing it to stop after 20 minutes. -erik
233 * Fixed an embarrasing segfault in head -beppu Fixed the embarrasing
234 * failure of 'logger -p'. -erik Added the -s option to du -beppu
235 * Re-worked the source tree a bit so it will compile under glibc 2.0.7
236 with the 2.0.x Linux kernel.
237 * Added 'grep -q' thanks to a patch from "Konstantin Boldyshev"
239 * Grep -i previously failed on UPPER CASE patterns due to a silly
240 regexp implementation bug that is now fixed.
241 * Fixed a bug where tar would set, and then clear SGID and SUID bits.
242 * Fixed a bug where tar would not set the user and group on device
244 * Fixed a bug where tar would not restore the time to files. Fixed a
245 * major security problem with tar -- it changed ownership
246 of any file pointed to by a symlink to 777 (like say libc....)
248 * cp and mv were very broken when moving directories. I have rewritten
249 them so they should now work as expected.
250 * sed now supports addresses (numeric or regexp, with negation) and
251 has an append command, thanks to Marco Pantaleoni <panta@prosa.it>
252 * Fixed dmesg. It wasn't parsing its options (-n or -s) properly.
253 * Some cosmetic fixes to ls output formatting to make it behave more
255 * Fixed a stupid segfault in kill. Several fixes from Friedrich Vedder
256 * <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>:
257 - Added gunzip -t, removed gunzip.c dead code,
258 - fixed several typos
259 - Glibc 2.0.7 and libc5 compile fixes
260 * Fixed a bug where 'mknod --help' would segfault.
263 -Erik Andersen, Jan 07, 2000
266 * New Apps: ping, hostname, and mkfifo contributed by Randolph Chung
267 <tausq@debian.org>. 3 items off the TODO list!
268 * I wrote free (just calls "cat /proc/meminfo"). Added tail, based on
269 * tail from GNU textutils-1.19, but adjusted
270 to suit my evil purposes. Costs 6k. I'll make it smaller
272 * on reboot, init called 'umount -a -n', which caused errors
273 when BB_MTAB was not enabled. Changed to 'umount -a', which does
275 * init will now try to run /sbin/getty if it is present (for easy
276 integration with the about-to-be-released tinylogin.)
277 * kill now behaves itself properly, added 'kill -l' to list signals 'ls
278 * -l' was failing on long directories, since my_getid was leaking
279 one file descriptor per file. Oops.
280 * Fixed rebooting from init. I'd accidently left some debugging code
282 which blocked reboots.
283 * Fixed reboot, halt (and added poweroff) such that they handle it when
284 init is not at PID 1 (like when running in an initrd).
285 * Added a prelinary du implementation. Some parameter parsing
286 stuff still needs to be added. -beppu (John Beppu
288 * Implemented tee. -beppu Implemented head. -beppu
290 -Erik Andersen, Dec 10, 1999
293 * Fixed a segfault in 'umount -a' when a badly formed /etc/fstab
295 * df will not exit on error, but will stat all mounted filesystems.
296 * Fixed tar so uid/gid/permissions on extracted tarballs will be
298 * Fixed find -name so it properly uses shell wildcard patterns
299 (i.e. `*', `?', and `[]') instead of regular expressions, which
300 was causing some confusing and unexpected behavior.
301 * Added klogd to syslogd, so now the log will contain both system and
303 * syslogd now creates the /dev/log socket to make sure it is there, and
304 is actually a socket with the right permissions.
305 * I've taken a first step to making busybox not need the /proc
306 filesystem. Most apps don't need it. Those that _require_ it,
307 will complain if you enable them when you disable
308 BB_FEATURE_USE_PROCFS.
310 -Erik Andersen, Dec 5, 1999
313 * Wrote a micro syslogd, and a logger util (to log things to the syslog
314 from the command line or scripts) With both compiled in, costs 4k.
315 * Fixed 'make install' so symlinks are installed in their proper
316 * locations. Changed the build system slightly so that features can
318 or disabled from the busybox.defs.h header file, without trying to
319 compile in a source file named after that featue (unless that file
321 * Several options are now moved into busybox.defs.h Now 'rm -R' and 'rm
322 * -r' both work. dd now properly handles input beyond 1 block from
323 * stdin. Fixed a bug where tar unpacked everything a directories.
325 from createPath into mkdir where it belonged, thereby making tar
327 * Fixed an off-by-one bug in cat. Given a list of file it wouldn't cat
329 last file in the list.
330 * Fixed 'ls -ln' so numeric group/uid are presented properly, and fixed
332 so when uid/gid is not in /etc/{passwd,group} the numeric group/uid
333 are presented properly.
337 -Erik Andersen, Nov 25, 1999
340 * fixed dd so it properly defaults to stdin and stdout when no
341 if= and of= are set (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay).
342 * Don't try to close the file descriptor of a pipein tar. (fix also
345 * Made createPath be quiet (again thanks to Eric Delaunay). If
346 * BB_CONSOLE_CMD_IF_RC_SCRIPT_EXITS is defined, then whatever
347 command you define it as will be run if the init script exits.
348 * Updated install.sh to make it more robust (thanks to Adam Di Carlo)
349 * NFS support added to mount by Eric Delaunay. It costs 10k when
351 in, but that is still a big win for those that use NFS.
352 * Made 'rm -f' be silent for non-existant files (thanks to Eric
353 * Delaunay). changed zcat.c to gunzip.c. It now obeys the principle
355 and acts as god intended gunzip and zcat to act. They answer
356 --help and obey the '-c' flag.
357 * Fixed a bug in mv which caused it to not move files when the
360 * Fixed a decimal-instead-of-octal bug causing mkdir to make
362 with very wrong permissions.
363 * chmod would overwrite file permissions instead of modifying them.
364 Now it properly modifies permissions.
365 * Init now sends warnings destined for the console to /dev/console to
367 they show up on whatever the active console it. Otherwise
368 important messages (for example that the system is rebooting) were
369 not seen when switched to a different VT.
371 -Erik Andersen, Nov 17, 1999
374 * gzip now obeys the principle of least surprise and acts like god
376 (i.e. it accepts a file name, answers --help, and obeys the '-c'
377 flag and only then outputs to stdout).
378 * Fixed more.c to compile autowidth on sparc and set initial winsize
379 to 0,0 in case the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl fails. Fix thanks to Eric
381 * Fixed tar so it now works as expected (it had TRUE/FALSE backwards)
382 * tar now accepts --help chmod, chown, and chgrp usage now works
383 * General usage (i.e. --help) cleanups for most apps umount now parses
384 * options correctly tar can now unpack tarballs containing device
386 sockets, and fifos (though it can't pack them up) thanks to Matt
387 Porter. Creating archives containing these is still left to the
389 * fixed up the license in more.c to properly point to Bruce Perens.
391 -Erik Andersen, Nov 11, 1999
394 * ls -l now displays link names outside the current directory,
395 Patch thanks to Eric Delaunay
396 * init now properly handles sparc serial consoles and does a
397 better job of finding the real console device rather than using
398 /dev/console which doesn't support job control. Patch also thanks
400 * more started to read from stdin after the last file was finished, and
401 options were not parsed correctly (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay).
402 * more will now use the terminal size if BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH is on.
403 * rm wouldn't remove a symlink unless the symlink was valid. This was
404 a side effect of the busybox 0.32 recursiveAction() fix. Things
405 should now work correctly.
406 * grep wouldn't grep stdin. Now it does. sed wouldn't sed stdin. Now
407 * it does. sed was appending a \n to the end of lines with
409 Now it doesn't do that.
410 * ls -l now bypasses libc6 nss when displaying user/group names.
411 Now uses my_getpwuid and my_getgrgid.
413 -Erik Andersen, Nov 8, 1999
416 * Fixed a bug where init could hang instead of rebooting.
417 * Removed some debugging noise from init.c
418 * Fixed ln so it works now (it was very broken).
419 * Fixed df so it won't segfault when there is no /etc/fstab,
420 * If BB_MTAB is not defined, df and mount will whine if /etc/fstab
421 is not installed (since they cannot fixup "/dev/root" to
422 state the real root device name)
423 * merged some redundant code from mtab.c/df.c into utility.c
425 -Erik Andersen, Nov 5, 1999
428 * More changes -- many thanks to Lineo for paying me to work on
429 busybox. If you have any problems please let me know ASAP at
430 andersen@lineo.com or andersee@debian.org
431 * usage() now prints the BusyBox version. This will help folks
432 realize that they are not in Kansas anymore.
433 * Fixed mkdir -m option so that it works. kill segfaulted w/o any
434 * arguments. Now it doesn't do that. kill wasn't properly accepting
435 * signal names. It does now. Added new apps chvt and deallocvt (I
436 * should probably add open) Major rewrite of init.c. Code is now
437 * readable by mere mortals IMHO. Wrote sed -- weighs only 1.8k (5.8k
438 * with full regular expressions!). Fixed a stupid seg-fault in sync
439 * Fixed mount -- mount -a failed to parse and apply mount options Fixed
440 * umount -n (patch thanks to Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>)
441 * umount -a no longer umounts /proc Added BB_MTAB, allowing (at the
442 * cost of ~1.5k and the need for a rw /etc)
443 folks to use a real /etc/mtab file instead of a symlink to
444 /proc/mounts. mount, and umount will add/remove entries and df
445 will now use /etc/mtab if BB_MTAB is defined.
446 * Fixed a nice bug in recursiveAction() which caused it to infinitely
447 hunt through /proc/../fd/* creating new file descriptors if it
448 followed the /dev/fd link over to /proc. recursiveAction() now
449 lstat's the file when followLinks==FALSE so it won't follow links
450 as the name suggests. Fix thanks to Matt Porter
454 -Erik Andersen, Nov 4, 1999
457 * I added a changelog for version 0.30. adjusted find internals to
458 * make it smaller, and removed
460 * Fixed a segfault in ps when /etc/passwd or /etc/group
461 are absent. Now will warn you and carry on.
462 * Added in optional _real_ regular expression support (to be
463 the basis for a future sed utility). When compiled in it adds
464 3.9k, but makes grep much more capable.
465 * Checked out using nftw(3) for recursive stuff, but unfortunatly
466 it wasn't supported before GNU libc 2.1, and some folks use glibc
467 2.0.7 since it is much smaller than that latest and greatest.
469 -Erik Andersen, Oct 21, 1999
472 Major changes -- lots of stuff rewritten. Many thanks to Lineo for
473 paying me to make these updates. If you have any problems with busybox,
474 or notice any bugs -- please let me know so I can fix it. These
478 * busybox can now invoke apps in two ways: via symlinks to the
479 busybox binary, and as 'busybox [function] [arguments]...'
480 * When invoked as busybox, the list of currently compiled in
481 functions is printed out (no this is not bloat -- the list has
482 to be there anyway to map invocation name to function).
483 * busybox no longer parses command lines for apps or displays their
484 usage info. Each app gets to handle (or not handle) this for
486 * Eliminated monadic, dyadic, descend, block_device, and
487 postprocess. It was cumbersome to have so many programs
488 cobbled together in this way. Without them, the app is much
490 * All shared code now lives in utility.c, and is properly
491 ifdef'ed to be only included for those apps requiring it.
492 * Eliminated struct FileInfo (the basis of monadic, dyadic, etc)
493 so now each app has the function prototype of (da-dum): extern
494 int foo_main(int argc, char** argv); which speeds integration
496 * Adjusted the Makefile to make it easier to
497 {en|dis}able debugging.
498 * Changed default compiler optimization to -Os
499 (optimize for smaller binaries).
502 * To cope with the new app function prototype and the removal of
503 monadic, dyadic, etc, the following apps were re-written:
504 * cat - Works same as always. chgrp, chmod, chown -
505 * rewrite. Combined into a single
506 source file. Absorbed patches from Enrique Zanardi
507 <ezanard@debian.org> that removes the dependency on
508 libc6 libnss* libraries.
509 * cp - Can now do 'cp -a' can can copy devices,
510 pipes, symlinks, as well as recursive or non-recursive
512 * fdflush - adjusted to remove dependancy on struct
513 * FileInfo. find - Now includes some basic regexp matching
514 which will be the basic of a future mini-sed.
515 * ln - Same functionality. mkdir - Added -p flag to
516 * feature set. mv - rewrite. rm - Added -f flag to
517 * feature set. rmdir - Same functionality. swapon,
518 * swapoff - Combined into a single binary. No longer
519 uses /etc/swaps. swap{on|off} -a uses /etc/fstab
521 * touch - Same functionality. date - adjusted with a patch
522 * from Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>
523 to accomodate glibc timezone support. I then ripped out GNU
525 * mkswap -- new version merged from util-linux. Can now make
527 * Replaced the old and star, unstar, and tarcat with the tar
528 implementation from sash. Now tar behaves as god intended it
529 to (i.e. tar -xvf <file> and tar -cf <file> <dir> work).
530 * dd -- rewritten. Can with with files, stdin, stdout. Added the
531 * following new apps: loadfont -- added from debian boot floppies
532 * chroot -- added based on a patch from Paolo Molaro
533 * <lupus@lettere.unipd.it> grep -- I just wrote it. Only matches
534 * simple strings ps -- I just wrote it. Has _no_ options at all,
535 * but works. fsck_minix, mkfs_minix -- added from util-linux, but
537 internationalization and such to make them smaller.
538 * sfdisk -- Added from util-linux (minus
539 * internationalization and such). Probably some other
540 * changes that I forgot to document...
