- Display the names of the files being TYPEd only if more than one file
has been specified on the command-line, or if a file specification
(with wildcards) is present (even just for one).
These names are displayed on STDERR while the files are TYPEd on
STDOUT, therefore allowing concatenating files by just redirecting
STDOUT to a destination, without corrupting it with the displayed file
names. Also, add a /N option to force not displaying these file names.
- When file specifications (with wildcards) are being processed, silently
ignore any directories matching them. If no corresponding files have
been found, display a file-not-found error.
- When explicitly directory names are specified, don't do any special
treatment; the CreateFile() call will fail and return the appropriate
error.
- Fix the returned errorlevel values.
See https://ss64.com/nt/type.html for more information.
Fixes some cmd_winetests.
- When reading from a file, retrieve its original size so that
we can stop reading it once we are beyond its original ending.
This allows avoiding an infinite read loop in case the output of
the file is redirected back to it.
Fixes CORE-17208
- Move the FileGetString() helper to the only file where it is
actually used.
ReactOS command line interpreter CMD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ReactOS command line interpreter CMD is derived from FreeCOM, the
FreeDOS command line interpreter.
We are shooting mainly to be just like 2000/XP cmd.exe. They are very close and only a small number(none that i can recall off the top of my head, so maybe 0) differences have been found between those two. It has been reported that ROS cmd.exe does not work on nt4 because of a missing api. I'm hoping to fix this at some point.
Compiling
~~~~~~~~~
ROS cmd used to depend on __REACTOS__ to provide two different ways to build cmd. There is still code left in it for this but... The __REACTOS__ = 0 has not been develped, maintained. And therefore it does not even compile anymore. __REACTOS__ = 1 works fine on both windows(nt). and someday i plan to remove all the __REACTOS__ = 0.
Using rbuild you can compile cmd separately by "make cmd_install". Also you can compile cmd using MSVC 6 and soon 7/8 hopefully.
Current Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- environment handling with prompt and path support.
- directory utilities.
- command-line history with doskey-like features.
- batch file processing.
- input/output redirection and piping.
- alias support.
- filename completion (use TAB), both Bash and Windows-CMD style.
