/* A builtin `xxx' is normally implemented with an `xxx_builtin' function.
   If you're converting a command that uses the normal Unix argc/argv
   calling convention, use argv = make_builtin_argv (list, &argc) and call
   the original `main' something like `xxx_main'.  Look at cat.c for an
   example.

   Builtins should use internal_getopt to parse options.  It is the same as
   getopt(3), but it takes a WORD_LIST *.  Look at print.c for an example
   of its use.

   If the builtin takes no options, call no_options(list) before doing
   anything else.  If it returns a non-zero value, your builtin should
   immediately return EX_USAGE.  Look at logname.c for an example.

   A builtin command returns EXECUTION_SUCCESS for success and
   EXECUTION_FAILURE to indicate failure. */
