dd: remove note about /dev/urandom and /dev/zero

2026-05-12T12:59:45+00:00

Now that /dev/urandom and /dev/zero can be used by all applets there's no need to mention that dd has support for them. Saves 32-56 bytes.

win32: coreutils/tr.c: use actail/isactype

2026-04-16T09:42:13+00:00

tr implements its own char classes setup, using index_in_strings and "precompiling" the various classes chars. We can replace the lot with a single loop of actail/isactype, which saves about 500 bytes. Additionally, for unclear reasons, it didn't support [:graph:] and [:print:], maybe because isgraph and isprint are disabled in libbb.h because they're locale-dependent. The new implementation using ac* does add support for these, and so tr on windows now supports e.g. 'tr [:print:] X' which it didn't before. This is the first use of actail, and demonstrates the usecases for it (win32/fnmatch.c could use it as well, but the current code is too branched to use it while keeping identical behavior, and regcomp.c extracts the name from [:NAME:] on its own).

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

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.
