2018-11-27hush: allow hush to run embedded scriptsRon Yorston
Embedded scripts require a shell to be present in the BusyBox binary. Allow either ash or hush to be used for this purpose. If both are enabled ash takes precedence. The size of the binary is unchanged in the default configuration: both ash and hush are present but support for embedded scripts isn't compiled into hush.

2018-11-27Tweaks to build process for embedded scriptsRon Yorston
- Force a rebuild if a script in applets_sh is changed. - Move the dummy usage messages for custom applets to usage.h and change the name from 'dummy' to 'scripted'. - Hide an error from gen_build_files.sh if an embed directory exists but is empty. - Tidy up embedded_scripts script. v2: Remove a couple of unnecessary tests in embedded_scripts, as pointed out by Xabier Oneca. Drop the stripping of comments. Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston <rmy@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>

2018-11-17Treat custom and applet scripts as appletsRon Yorston
BusyBox has support for embedded shell scripts. Two types can be distinguished: custom scripts and scripts implementing applets. Custom scripts should be placed in the 'embed' directory at build time. They are given a default applet configuration and appear as applets to the user but no further configuration is possible. Applet scripts are integrated with the BusyBox build system and are intended to be used to ship standard applets that just happen to be implemented as scripts. They can be configured at build time and appear just like native applets. Such scripts should be placed in the 'applets_sh' directory. A stub C program should be written to provide the usual applet configuration details and placed in a suitable subsystem directory. It may be helpful to have a configuration option to enable any dependencies the script requires: see the 'nologin' applet for an example. function old new delta scripted_main - 41 +41 applet_names 2773 2781 +8 applet_main 1600 1604 +4 i2cdetect_main 672 674 +2 applet_suid 100 101 +1 applet_install_loc 200 201 +1 applet_flags 100 101 +1 packed_usage 33180 33179 -1 tryexec 159 152 -7 evalcommand 1661 1653 -8 script_names 9 - -9 packed_scripts 123 114 -9 complete_cmd_dir_file 826 811 -15 shellexec 271 254 -17 find_command 1007 990 -17 busybox_main 642 624 -18 run_applet_and_exit 100 78 -22 find_script_by_name 51 - -51 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 1/2 grow/shrink: 6/9 up/down: 58/-174) Total: -116 bytes text data bss dec hex filename 950034 477 7296 957807 e9d6f busybox_old 949918 477 7296 957691 e9cfb busybox_unstripped Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston <rmy@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>

2018-11-01ash: allow shell scripts to be embedded in the binaryDenys Vlasenko
To assist in the deployment of shell scripts it may be convenient to embed them in the BusyBox binary. 'Embed scripts in the binary' takes any files in the directory 'embed', concatenates them with null separators, compresses them and embeds them in the binary. When scripts are embedded in the binary, scripts can be run as 'busybox SCRIPT [ARGS]' or by usual (sym)link mechanism. embed/nologin is provided as an example. function old new delta packed_scripts - 123 +123 unpack_scripts - 87 +87 ash_main 1103 1171 +68 run_applet_and_exit 78 128 +50 get_script_content - 32 +32 script_names - 10 +10 expmeta 663 659 -4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 4/0 grow/shrink: 2/1 up/down: 370/-4) Total: 366 bytes Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston <rmy@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>
