Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

POSIX requires this to prevent entering function definitions in history but
this implementation does nothing except retain the option's value. In ksh88,
function definitions were usually entered in the history file, even when
they came from ~/.profile and the $ENV file, to allow displaying their
definitions.
This is also the first option that does not have a letter.
POSIX does not permit to continuing a getopts loop with different
arguments. For parsing the positional parameters, we handle this case by
resetting the getopts state when the positional parameters are changed in
any way (and the getopts state is local to a function). However, in the
syntax getopts <optstring> <var> <arg...>, changes could lead to invalid
memory access.
In the syntax getopts <optstring> <var> <arg...>, store a copy of the
arguments and continue to use them until getopts is reset.
When getopts finds an invalid option or a missing option-argument, it should
not reset its state and should set OPTIND as normal. This is an old ash bug
that was fixed long ago in dash. Our behaviour now matches most other
shells.
Have mkbuiltins write the prototypes for the *cmd functions to builtins.h
instead of builtins.c and include builtins.h in more .c files instead of
duplicating prototypes for *cmd functions in other headers.
If the -p option is turned off, privileges from a setuid or setgid binary
are dropped. Make sure to check if this succeeds. If it fails, this is an
error which will cause the shell to abort except in interactive mode or if
'command' was used to make 'set' or an outer 'eval' or '.' non-special.
Note that taking advantage of this feature and writing setuid shell scripts
seems unwise.

These are called "shell procedures" in the source.
If execve() failed with [ENOEXEC], the shell would reinitialize itself
and execute the program as a script. This requires a fair amount of code
which is not frequently used (most scripts have a #! magic number).
Therefore just execute a new instance of sh (_PATH_BSHELL) to run the
script.
This makes sh a bit more friendly in single user mode, make buildenv, chroot
and the like, and matches other shells.
The -o emacs can be overridden on the command line or in the ENV file.
are used to modify the arguments. Not doing so caused random memory reads or
null pointer dereferences when 'getopts' was called again later (SUSv3 says
getopts produces unspecified results in this case).

demanded by POSIX.
- A redirection error is only fatal (meaning the execution of a shell script is
terminated) for special built-ins. Previously it was fatal for all shell
builtins, causing problems like the one reported in PR 88845.
- Variable assignments remain in effect for special built-ins.
- Option or operand errors are only fatal for special built-ins.
This change also makes errors from 'fc' non-fatal (I could not find any reasons
for this behaviour).
Somewhat independently from the above down-grade the error handling in the
shift built-in if the operand is bigger than $# from an error() call (which is
now fatal) to a return 1. I'm not sure if this should be considered a POSIX
"operand error", however this change is needed for now as we trigger that error
while building libncurses. Comparing with other shells, zsh does the same as
our sh before this change (write a diagnostic, return 1), bash behaves as our
sh after this commit (no diagnostic, return 1) and ksh93 and NetBSD's sh treat
it as a fatal error.
set +o can be used to reload previous settings, for this to work disabled
options must be printed as well or otherwise options that were set in the mean
time won't be turned off.
To avoid an excessively long output line I formatted the output to print only
six options per line.

benefit of scripts start out as: #!/bin/sh -- # -*- perl -*-
With this fix in place, we can commit a change to kern/imgact_shell.c
so FreeBSD will process the `#!' line in shell-scripts in a more
standard fashion.

work as expected when they have a "shebang line" of:
#!/bin/sh -- # -*- perl -*- -p
This specific line is recommended in some perl documentation, and I think
I've seen similar lines in documentation for ruby and python. Those
write-ups expect `sh' to ignore everything after the '--' if the first
thing after the '--' is a '#'. See chapter 19, "The Command-Line Interface"
in 3rd edition of "Programming Perl", for some discussion of why perl
recommends using this line in some circumstances.
The above line does work on solaris, irix and aix (as three data points),
and it used to work on FreeBSD by means of a similar patch to execve().
However, that change to execve() effected *all* shells (which caused
other problems), and that processing was recently removed.

mkinit.c still produces C code with redundant declarations, although
they are more harmless since they automatically derived from the right
places.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
getopts should now work as expected. This fix was in the NetBSD

merge of parallel duplicate work by Steve Price and myself. :-]
There are some changes to the build that are my fault... mkinit.c was
trying (poorly) to duplicate some of the work that make(1) is designed to
do. The Makefile hackery is my fault too, the depend list was incomplete
because of some explicit OBJS+= entries, so mkdep wasn't picking up their
source file #includes.
This closes a pile of /bin/sh PR's, but not all of them..
