[Toybox] [PENDING] [fold.c] [Question]

[haroon maqsood]

Hi Rob,
Yes the failures, are there for a reason, i have a patch for that (i.e the cleanup), but since the orignal author replied,
i wanted to get his opinion, what i wanted to know was are gnu coreutils doing it wrong (pending/fold seems to depict the same behaviour) or am i  understanding the posix spec wrong?
did not know about the fmt, but i will have a look.
Haroon

Yay tests. Applied, since any tests are better than none.

Although I note that:

  TEST_HOST=1 make test_fold

Produces failures. You might want to try:

  VERBOSE=fail TEST_HOST=1 make test_fold

Also, checking my notes, I'm not sure off the top of my head what the difference
between "fold" and "fmt" is? There's a promoted fmt command (from the android
guys I think), but fold is posix. Looks like they do kind of similar things?
