 Any NOFORK applet is also a NOEXEC applet.
 
 
+	Calling NOFORK applets
+
+API to call NOFORK applets is two functions:
+
+	run_nofork_applet(appno, argv)
+	spawn_and_wait(argv) // only if FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS=y
+
+First one is directly used by shells if FEATURE_SH_NOFORK=y.
+Second one is used by many applets, but main users are xargs and find.
+It itself calls run_nofork_applet(), if argv[0] turned out to be a name
+of a NOFORK applet.
+
+run_nofork_applet() saves/inits/restores option parsing, xfunc_error_retval,
+applet_name. Thus, for example, caller does not need to worry about
+option_mask32 getting trashed.
+
+
 	Relevant CONFIG options
 
 FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS
   BB_EXECVP(cmd, argv) will try to exec /proc/self/exe
-    if command's name matches some applet name
-  applet tables will contain NOFORK/NOEXEC bits
+  if command's name matches some applet name;
   spawn_and_wait(argv) will do NOFORK/NOEXEC tricks
 
-FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE (needs FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS=y)
+//TODO: the above two things probably should have separate options?
+
+FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE
   shells will try to exec /proc/self/exe if command's name matches

-  shells will do NOEXEC trick on NOEXEC applets
+  some applet name; shells will do NOEXEC trick on NOEXEC applets
