busybox generally follows a pretty simple flow:
(1) is the behavior you're looking at explicitly documented by POSIX ?
if yes, then do what POSIX says & you're done
(2) is the behavior described as "implementation defined" by POSIX ?
if yes, do whatever produces smaller code
(3) is the behavior attempting to replicate another standard (e.g. GNU) ?
is it behavior the standard explicitly documents ?
if yes, do what the replicated standard doesotherwise, if it's an edge case no one cares about, stick to small code. -mike
