I didn't say it was invented as part of busybox, I was pointing out an instance of it predating busybox in one of the components of the original busybox. I.E. here's proof it WASN'T an original invention in busybox.

I never claimed to invent it, you argue that I didn't invent it.What I did was make a tiny replacement of the entire Unix command line toolkit necessary for a limited purpose that ran like the command line programs it replaced, not like the "stand-alone shell" programs that people were making around then. I made the first, what follows are destined to be clones and copies.
