|

as most devices won't directly have users. Applications on those may, but those
|
||||
usually have their own user management features.
|

|

This patch adds the `-b` option to BusyBox's adduser, and will record a birthday
|
||||
in YYYYMMDD format. This can then be used to determine age, and/or the age
|
||||
bracket of the user via the standard UNIX shell which serves as the UNIX
|
||||
API/ABI, and thus makes BusyBox compliant with the law. The two UNIX commands
|
||||
added here are `howoldami` and `useragerange`.
|
||||
This file replaces the adduser.c in BusyBox, and it differs from the original in
|
||||
offering a `-b` option which will add user's birthday to `/etc/birthdays`. The
|
||||
birthday needs to be passed in YYYYMMDD format, and it will be stored as such.
|
||||
|
||||
Two example scripts exist here to offer the commands `howoldami` and
|
||||
`useragerange` which will provide either the user's age or one of the age ranges
|
||||
specified in California's bill. As the standard UNIX interface and signal system
|
||||
is plain text, this change to adduser and the accompanying scripts transform the
|
||||
BusyBox + Linux system into a compliant operating system for those who require
|
||||
it.
