Example commands
You probably don't want to deploy any of this.
The hello.c and skeleton.c commands provide templates for new commands. When
writing a new command, copying hello.c or skeleton.c to the new name may provide
a good starting point. (The minimal staring point is toys/posix/false.c)
- hello.c is clean and simple, and an easy way to check the behavior of
toybox library functions running in command context.
- skeleton.c demonstrates the option parsing infrastructure and having
multiple commands per file.
Some of the commands in here are test infrastructure:
- logpath.c is optionally used by mkroot.sh and scripts/record-commands
- demo_* demonstrates infrastructure, allowing tests/demo_*.test to
regression test library functions directly.
hostid.c is an obsolete command still in posix and present on some recent
Linux systems, but not really useful on modern systems.
