df,lsattr: support Unix-like mount points

2026-06-15T11:43:03+00:00

Update 'lsattr' to distinguish between mount points and junctions. Use the new 'mntent' functions in 'df' to display mount points as well as drive letters. If mount point is associated with a drive letter this is displayed as the filesystem. The Windows-specific '-w' option forces the volume name to be displayed instead, if avaialable. Adds 87-111 bytes. Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston

stty: code shrink

2026-05-26T06:40:19+00:00

The current implementation of 'stty' for Windows only uses a limited subset of the flags in 'struct termios'. Remove some unused features. Saves 16-40 bytes. Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston

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)

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
