Fix "new sentence, new line" warnings throughout so that formatters can produce correct spacing between sentences. join.1 Remove unnecessary Ns macros. These are not necessary for delimeters, which get special treatment. xinstall.1 Fix date in manual. The contents were last modified on 2016-12-03, so use that instead of the invalid date. grep.1 Fix escape sequence for `\<` and `\>`. ed.1 Remove spurious `\\n` escape for the null-command.
sbase - suckless unix tools
===========================
sbase is a collection of unix tools that are inherently portable across
UNIX and UNIX-like systems.
The complement of sbase is ubase[1] which is Linux-specific and 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.
Status
------
The following tools are implemented:
'#' -> UTF-8 support, '=' -> Implicit UTF-8 support, '*' -> Finished,
'|' -> Audited, 'o' -> POSIX 2013 compliant, 'x' -> Non-POSIX,
'0' -> NUL handling, '()' -> Petty flag
