* cmd_usage(): simplify return code handlingWolfgang Denk2010-07-24-16/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lots of code use this construct: cmd_usage(cmdtp); return 1; Change cmd_usage() let it return 1 - then we can replace all these ocurrances by return cmd_usage(cmdtp); This fixes a few places with incorrect return code handling, too.

* Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.Wolfgang Denk2010-07-04-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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) { ...

* Command improvements for ubifsSimon Kagstrom2009-07-09-5/+21
| | | | | | | | | Check that an argument is passed to ubifsmount and that addresses and sizes are actually numbers for ubifsload. Also improve the instructions a bit. Signed-off-by: Simon Kagstrom <simon.kagstrom@netinsight.net> Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de>
* General help message cleanupWolfgang Denk2009-06-12-7/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* UBIFS: Add UBIFS commandsStefan Roese2009-03-20-0/+132
This patchset adds these UBIFS related commands: - ubifsmount Mount an UBIFS volume - ubifsls List a directory of the mounted UBIFS volume - ubifsload Load a file from the mounted UBIFS volume to memory Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de>
