ugh, seems there was a bit fallen over when I typed the mail ;-o |

It would be good to have an simple API for writing such commandlets, |
| 29 |
so that they can be easily built standalone or compiled in into |
| 30 |
larger utils like busybox without changes in the source. Maybe a well |
| 31 |
defined set of preprocessor symbols / macros could easily do the job. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
For example: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
#include "commandlet.h" |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
#ifdef CMDLET_MAIN_MODIFIER |
| 39 |
CMDLET_MAIN_MODIFIER |
| 40 |
#endif |
| 41 |
int |
| 42 |
#ifdef CMDLET_MAIN_NAME |
| 43 |
CMDLET_MAIN_NAME |
| 44 |
#else |
| 45 |
main |
| 46 |
#endif |
| 47 |
(int argc, char** argv); |
| 48 |
{ |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
} |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
When built within some shell, we pass -DCMDLET_MAIN_NAME=... |
| 55 |
so that the surrounding code (makefile ?) can control how the |
| 56 |
main function is named (ie. foo_main() instead of main()). |
| 57 |
By defining CMDLET_MAIN_MODIFIER we can add something to |
| 58 |
the function declaration, ie "static". |
