FRIGN 9016d288f1 Do not use arg.h for tools which take no flags
We've already seen the issue with echo(1): Before we changed it to
ignore "--", the command

$ echo --

did not work as expected. Given POSIX mandated this and makes most
sense, in the interest of consistency the other tools need to be
streamlined for that as well.
Looking at yes(1) for instance, there's no reason to skip "--" in
the argument list.
We do not have long options like GNU does and there's no reason to
tinker with that here.

The majority of tools changed are ones taking lists of arguments
or only a single one. There's no reason why dirname should "fail"
on "--". In the end, this is a valid name.

The practice of hand-holding the user was established with the GNU
coreutils. "--help" and "--version" long-options are a disgrace to
what could've been done properly with manpages.

Hiltjo Posthuma 066a0306a1 fork: no need to _exit() on the error case 2015-03-10 20:05:18 +01:00
FRIGN 6f207dac5f Don't return but _exit after failed exec*() and fork()
Quoting POSIX[0]:
"Care should be taken, also, to call _exit() rather than exit() if exec cannot be used, since
exit() flushes and closes standard I/O channels, thereby damaging the parent process' standard
I/O data structures. (Even with fork(), it is wrong to call exit(), since buffered data would
then be flushed twice.)"

Nothing special, just a small style-fix.

FRIGN eee98ed3a4 Fix coding style
It was about damn time. Consistency is very important in such a
big codebase.
