Housekeeping list, complete lingering things before they get forgotten:

  • cli_*() now sets a global cli_errno, error functions cleaned up
  • Finish internal cli_*() functions in util.c
  • Don't expose cli_init() or cli_finit()
  • Get rid of unused globals
  • Don't set globals in commands themselves
  • Update README files
  • Fix stale comments
  • Property mode set to 100644

1Commands that need to modify the running user structure defined in scli.h
2should reside here. They (will) have a slightly different prototype that
3allows passing the user structure to them for ease of modifications.
4
5Examples of what should be a built-in and not a module would be:
6
7cd (cliuser_t->cwd needs to be updated)
8
9In the future, more user preferences will be set via built-in commands,
10such as the formatting of the prompt string (HelenOS doesn't yet have
11an environment, much less PS*, even if it did we'd likely do it a little
12differently).
13
14.... etc.
15
16Anything that does _not_ need to use this structure should be included
17as a module, not a built in. If you want to include a new command, there
18is a 99% chance that you want it to be a module.
