> If I mount binfs at /bin, should I be able run builtin apps via nsh by calling them as /bin/appname? It has been so long since I have worked on the project, so I am hesitant to comment. But I believe the answer is NO. Builtin apps are just simple C programs with a main() entry point. They make no sense to the binary loader logic. The binary loader has full responsibility for executing programs in a file system. They may still be executed by NSH using the built-in app logic, but cannot be executed from any file system using the binary loader: 'appname' might work, but '/bin/appname' should not. Binaries within the filesystem can only be executed if they are in an executable format recognized by the binary loader such as ELF. I think that THTTP uses the binary loader to execute CGI programs, but I don't remember that logic well. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
