This is a package of small shell programming utilities. They are mostly
compliant with POSIX.2, where applicable.
See the file NEWS for a list of major changes in the current release.
See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions.
nice, stty, and uname require facilities not available on all systems;
`configure' detects this and does not try to compile them on systems
where those facilities are missing.
nohup requires nice.
su will only be installed if you do `make install' as root.
Although these programs have no `-V' or `--version' option, you can
check which version you have by using the RCS `ident' command on the
binaries, or by using `grep' and `strings -' on them, e.g.,
`strings - /usr/local/bin/ls | grep shellutils'.
Mail suggestions and bug reports for these programs to
bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.
