paste: fix output when file lengths differ

2026-03-05T20:46:04+00:00

If the files being pasted had different numbers of lines the output was incorrect. Rewrite the loop over all lines to allow for this. Add tests for such conditions. function old new delta paste_main 458 526 +68 Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko

*: placate warnings where strchr/strstr returns constant pointer

Newer glibc is now smarter and can propagate const-ness from those! function old new delta readtoken1 3111 3108 -3 Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko

md5/sha1sum: Honor the -b flag in the output

2026-01-18T02:09:52+00:00

The output of md5sum/sha1sum contains a character to indicate what mode was used to read the file - '*' for binary, and ' ' for text or where binary is insignificant. This flag character makes a difference for the ffmpeg testsuite. This testsuite contains a number of reference files (e.g. [1]), containing the expected md5sum output for those files, which is checked verbatim. By making busybox's md5sum honor this flag in the output, ffmpeg's testsuite can run successfully on top of busybox. The flag is only partially implemented; in coreutils md5sum, a later "-t" option overrides an earlier "-b" option. Here, just check if a "-b" option was specified or not. Neither flag affects how the files actually are read.

ls: restore functionality of --color

2025-11-08T06:42:34+00:00

Since commit 551bfdb97 (ls: implement -q, fix -w0, reduce startup time) the '--color' option behaves as though the default argument 'always' had been specified. This is due to an explicit short option for '--color' being given, but without specifying that an argument is expected. function old new delta .rodata 106027 106029 +2 Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko

cp: fix `cp -aT` overwriting symlink to directories

2025-10-07T08:05:08+00:00

busybox cp refuses to overwrite another symlink to a directory due to an incorrect stat() call that should be lstat(). When using -T, we want to consider the target argument directly without resolving symlinks. function old new delta cp_main 496 514 +18 Signed-off-by: Dominique Martinet Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko
