Fix the flags for stat (again) (#601)

2026-06-22T10:36:43+00:00

* Revert "find: reset stat(2) flags before terminating" This reverts commit 228ee18fbe8cf408440e7bbe91db4ef201312983. * test: fix flags for stat with NOFORK test is a NOFORK applet, so the flags under mingw_stat may not have been reset before calling it. We have it so it also restores the flags after, since it could be called in the middle of another applet. This also needed a way to retrieve the flags, so they are just done through the return value. * Add comments about not having to restore flags Just for future reference * lineedit: use new flag restoring * win32: simplify mingw_access calling Since we now have a way to get the previous flags, mingw_access can be changed to ignore any stat flags * stat: comments from PR Adds 32 bytes.

win32: allow stat(2) to skip costly check for execute

2026-05-18T06:55:54+00:00

If 'ls' is invoked without the '-l' option (or something that's equivalent) and colour output isn't required, there's no need to perform the expensive check for execute permission. Allow 'ls' to inform stat(2) not to call has_exec_format(). This has been combined with the existing mechanism to enable counting subdirectories. With this change the command 'ls | wc -l' used in issue #589 doesn't perform the test which upset Windows' anti-malware thing. Adds 32-48 bytes. (GitHub issue #589)

win32: only count subdirectories if necessary

2023-01-23T10:40:57+00:00

Commit 7fb95a2a5 (win32: try to get link count for directories) allowed stat(2) to report accurate values of st_nlink for directories. There are only a couple of places in busybox-w32 where these values are required. Disable counting of subdirectories by default and only enable it when necessary. Microsoft kindly provide directories to test edge cases like this: C:/Windows/WinSxS (contains many subdirectories) C:/Windows/WinSxS/Manifests (contains many files) Adds 84-112 bytes.

win32: make readlink(2) implementation unconditional

2021-02-12T14:02:28+00:00

There doesn't seem to be much advantage in having readlink(2) as a configuration option. Making it unconditional reduces divergence from upstream and allows the removal of a check for ENOSYS that's been in busybox-w32 since the start.

stat: improve conditional compilation

2021-01-26T14:50:34+00:00

If FEATURE_READLINK2 isn't enabled: - in print_stat() combine the code for 'n' and 'N' format; - in do_stat() let the compiler figure out that it doesn't need to emit code to print the symbolic link.
