of the recent WARNS commits. The idea is:
1) FreeBSD id tags should follow vendor tags.
2) Vendor tags should not be compiled (though copyrights probably should).
3) There should be no blank line between including cdefs and __FBSDIF.
string after each successful snprintf() call. This makes apply(1) work
*correctly*, although the whole snprintf() deal really should be redone.
Bug noted by: nectar (about 3 weeks ago)
declarations & their arguments; use only one tab after types; restore the
type of argv to sync with src tree style; sort new variables under main();
fix continuation indents; remove extra blank line before free()'s. Still
to do: fix snprintf() handling as nectar & bde suggested to me.

BDECFLAGS; ANSIfy; use EXEC instead of "exec " where appropriate; use
proper types (size_t, int); use proper variable names for certain things;
get rid of static 'cache' style stuff by moving and sanitizing the
original SHELL checking code to main(), this also makes it easier to
free() the string; rename file-scope system() to exec_shell(); use
snprintf() everywhere instead of sprintf(); actually remember to free()
other malloc()'d char pointers in main().
I left out the -s option in this revision along with getusershell()
checking because of objections made by Warner Losh <imp> and Garrett
Wollman <wollman>. I agreed with their assertions that such code was
unnecessary in a program like this.
I dare people to make this coredump now.
Some suggestions: nectar (snprintf() truncate checking)

Tortured by: examples in apply(1), fuzz(1),
and a lot of random ideas I came up with
especially on strings passed from argv; rename system() to exec_shell(),
and make it static; use strlcpy() and make sure it works; use proper
type (size_t) to be passed to malloc()/realloc().
Use getusershell() to make sure the SHELL environment variable passed is
safe to use. Add new option -s to allow anal users to pass things like
perl; this option is here along with getusershell() checking since the
such checking is only intended to affect things like suidperl that might
call apply(1).

This would have been commit #2 which was "Obtained from: BSD/OS" except
their code is buggy (they call err() if the execl() fails, which will
incorrectly call exit()), so instead this is:
Obtained from: NetBSD
execvp() in the child branch of a vfork(). Changed to use fork()
instead.
Some of these (mv, find, apply, xargs) might benefit greatly from
being rewritten to use vfork() properly.
