* Stop using builtin_run_command()Simon Glass2012-03-06-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | Boards can select either the 'built-in' parser or the hush parser. We should not call builtin_run_command() if we are using the hush parser. We use run_command() instead, since it knows how to call the correct parser. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Acked-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
* Rename run_command() to builtin_run_command()Simon Glass2012-03-06-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | The current run_command() is only one of the parsing options - the other is hush. We should not call run_command() when the hush parser is being used. So we rename this function to better explain its purpose. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Acked-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
* Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.Wolfgang Denk2010-07-04-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to commands. Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done by changing the code into "char * const argv[]". This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused after adding a new command, which used the following argument processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot: int main (int argc, char **argv) { while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') { /* ====> */ while (*++*argv) { switch (**argv) { case 'd': debug++; break; ... default: usage (); } } } ... } The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by the shell. With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with an error: increment of read-only location '*argv' N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this: while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') { char *arg = *argv; while (*++arg) { switch (*arg) { ...

* Remove deprecated 'autoscr' command/variablesPeter Tyser2009-09-22-18/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The more standard 'source' command provides identical functionality to the autoscr command. Environment variable names/values on the MVBC_P, MVBML7, kmeter1, mgcoge, and km8xx boards are updated to no longer refernce 'autoscr'. The 'autoscript' and 'autoscript_uname' environment variables are also removed.

* General help message cleanupWolfgang Denk2009-06-12-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many of the help messages were not really helpful; for example, many commands that take no arguments would not print a correct synopsis line, but "No additional help available." which is not exactly wrong, but not helpful either. Commit ``Make "usage" messages more helpful.'' changed this partially. But it also became clear that lots of "Usage" and "Help" messages (fields "usage" and "help" in struct cmd_tbl_s respective) were actually redundant. This patch cleans this up - for example: Before: => help dtt dtt - Digital Thermometer and Thermostat Usage: dtt - Read temperature from digital thermometer and thermostat. After: => help dtt dtt - Read temperature from Digital Thermometer and Thermostat Usage: dtt Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>
* Add "source" command; prepare removal of "autoscr" commandWolfgang Denk2009-04-03-0/+256
According to the doc/feature-removal-schedule.txt, the "autoscr" command will be replaced by the "source" command in approximately 6 months from now. This patch prepares this change and starts a 6 month transition period as follows: - The new "source" command has been added, which implements exactly the same functionlaity as the old "autoscr" command before - The old "autoscr" command name is kept as an alias for compatibility - Command sequences, script files atc. have been adapted to use the new "source" command - Related environment variables ("autoscript", "autoscript_uname") have *not* been adapted yet; these will be renamed resp. removed in a separate patch when the support for the "autoscr" command get's finally dropped.
