reset: code shrink and clarification

2026-05-12T06:49:43+00:00

The 'ESC]J' sequence in 'reset' is unnecessary. One or other of 'ESC]3J' and the explicit call to reset_screen() should be sufficient, but the Win 10/11 terminal requires the former while the Win 10 console requires the latter. Saves 4 bytes in the 32-bit build. (GitHub issue #161)

reset: add support for stty and Windows Terminal

2026-05-11T12:54:20+00:00

The 'reset' applet hasn't kept pace with developments elsewhere. We now have support for 'stty sane', so the code in 'reset' which calls that can be enabled. Windows 10 and 11 have updated Terminal and Console programs, with varying features and behaviours. Add ANSI emulation code to handle clearing the scrollback buffer and use ANSI sequences in 'reset' to do that. It was also necessary to retain the explicit call to reset_screen(), or 'reset' didn't work properly in the Terminal I'd installed in Windows 10. Adds 92-128 bytes. (GitHub issue #161)

Further tweaks to make_single_applets.sh

2025-10-29T06:19:46+00:00

Changes to the applet configurations of 'reset' and 'which' in the Microsoft Windows port resulted in these applets being enabled in every single-applet executable built by make_single_applets.sh. Alter the configuration to avoid this. Remove PLATFORM_POSIX and PLATFORM_MINGW32 from the list of applets to be built. (GitHub issue #536)

Fix non-Linux builds

2022-11-29T13:10:22+00:00

Various tools are Linuxish and should thus only attempted to build on Linux only. Some features are also Linux-only. Also, libresolv is used on all GNU platforms, notably GNU/Hurd and GNU/kfreeBSD. Signed-off-by: Samuel Thibault Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko
