sbase - suckless unix tools
===========================
sbase is a collection of unix tools that are inherently portable
across UNIX and UNIX-like systems.
Prepare POSIX 2013 audit I can't believe we've come this far! The idea is to look at the 2013 POSIX corrigendum for each tool and deep-test features before making the first 0.1 release. To keep the noise low, I'll do this in batches, not on a per-tool- basis (as many of these are trivial to test). In the meantime, I'll also think of a fitting STANDARDS section for the non-POSIX tools. Now that the audits are pretty much done, I can also have a more relaxed view on standards compliance instead of having to dig through some uncleaned mess. To mark this "new beginning", the README has gotten a liftover. The POSIX 2008-column was more or less useless and as I expect the checks to go along pretty quickly, I "reset" the compliance state of all but the non-POSIX tools and will then go along and check every single one of them in the next few days. Apart from the few missing flags and audits, sbase should then be ready to hit the world with the first release after 4 years of work.

The following tools are implemented:
Add an easier to edit "table" of tools in README We need to go through the tools and update this table to reflect current state.

POSIX 2013 audit Mostly manpage-shuffling according to the changes in the corrigendum, wording changes and more idiomatic expressions. All this is finished up by marking the POSIX 2013 conformant tools with .St -p1003.1-2013 which is not available in older mandoc builds or nroff, but which reflects what we actually did, so who cares? This is a huge step and it's not far until we can release sbase 0.1.

provides all the non-portable tools. Together they are intended to
form a base system similar to busybox but much smaller and suckless.
Building
--------
To build sbase, simply type make. You may have to fiddle with
config.mk depending on your system.
You can also build sbase-box, which generates a single binary
containing all the required tools. You can then symlink the

individual tools to sbase-box or run: make sbase-box-install

Ideally you will want to statically link sbase. If you are on Linux
we recommend using musl-libc[2].
Portability
-----------
sbase has been compiled on a variety of different operating systems,
including Linux, *BSD, OSX, Haiku, Solaris, SCO OpenServer and others.
Various combinations of operating systems and architectures have also
been built.
You can build sbase with gcc, clang, tcc, nwcc and pcc.
