There are some performance down sides if one makes intensive use of
certain bb-applets in shell scripts. And that's the probable reason why
2 of these applets (echo and test) are available as BUILTINs.
Which of these simplier applets could become builtin candidates which are
easy enough to add to the list:
basename cat cut date dirname env expr
false head kill ln mkdir mktemp pgrep
pidof pkill printf readlink realpath
rm rmdir seq sleep stat sync tail
touch true uniq usleep wc which yes
Is this a good idea?
Is there intrest to see more applets available as ASH_BUILTINs?
Also, what is required to be able to do it?
Cheers,
