There is no execution path which skips geteuid() check.
Therefore, you may just move check up, before switch.
I did ask for more comments, and now you are overdoing it:
/* Check if UID is 0 */
if (geteuid())
bb_error_msg_and_die(bb_msg_perm_denied_are_you_root);
This can be expressed without comment:
if (geteuid() != 0)
bb_error_msg_and_die(bb_msg_perm_denied_are_you_root);
!= 0 says "check that it is not 0" better than comment;
and it can't get stale, unlike comments which sometimes do.
/* Check number of command line args */
switch (argc) {
Doh... No need to comment obvious things.
Please review attached edited version. The logic should be the same as yours.
I only flagged possible bugs in logic, and changed comments.
Applied to git, thanks.
