Subject: [PATCH] Implement leftpad syscall
Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2016 00:33:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1459463613-32473-2-git-send-email-richard@nod.at> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1459463613-32473-1-git-send-email-richard@nod.at>
From: David Gstir <david@sigma-star.at>
Implement the leftpad() system call such that userspace,
especially node.js applications, can in the near future directly
use it and no longer depend on fragile npm packages.
