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: Unix-like support for volume mounts

2026-06-15T11:42:54+00:00

Add code to distinguish between volume mount points and junctions. Volume mount points are to be treated like directries while junctions are like symlinks. Update the 'mntent' functions to scan drive letters first, then volume names and their associated mount points. By default the filesystem is returned as a drive letter, if possible, though the volume name is also returned. The function 'find_mount_point()' has been updated to use the new 'mntent' routines. Adds 772-803 bytes. Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston

win32: update current directory to target of symlink

2026-06-06T12:42:59+00:00

If busybox.exe was started from a Windows command line in a directory which was the target of a symlink (or equivalent) 'ls' and 'stat' were unable to report the correct details of the current directory. Call 'chdir()' from the BusyBox main program to update our notion of our current directory. Adds 16 bytes. (GitHub issue #597) Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston

win32: skip check for execute with tab-completion

2026-05-20T07:39:36+00:00

Tab completion as arguments no longer reads a bit of each file to detect whether it is executable.

libbb: reverse performance regression in bb_copyfd_*

2026-05-10T12:00:34+00:00

Commit c4f24ec9d (libbb: try to mitigate 'cat /dev/urandom') resulted in a 'cat' to the terminal taking ~25% longer than before. Raising the isatty() call out of the loop reduces the penalty to ~1%. Adds 16 bytes in the 32-bit build. (GitHub issue #585)

libbb: try to mitigate 'cat /dev/urandom'

2026-05-08T13:18:44+00:00

Now that '/dev/urandom' can be used directly, people with a sense of curiosity and adventure have tried running 'cat /dev/urandom' or 'cat

crond: build tweaks

2026-05-03T09:52:29+00:00

Using 'depends on FEATURE_SYSLOG' is unreliable because FEATURE_SYSLOG can't be set directly. A POSIX build with all applets that need syslog disabled *except* crond may fail. Revert to using 'select FEATURE_SYSLOG' in crond and exclude the unused syslog code on Windows. If crond is unable to run sendmail report this in the error message. Update all default Windows configurations. (GitHub PR #561)
