GNU file utilities for OS/2
The programs were tested under OS/2 2.0 with a HPFS, they support long
filenames and extended attibutes (cp, mv and install need to support
EA's). The upper/lower case conversion in dd works correctly with
national language characters. 8-bit (such as NLS-) characters are
displayed directly by ls, only nonprintable characters are replaced by ?
or \-Sequences as usual. Support for \ and / as path separators was
added where neccessary, i.e. in ls, cp, mv, rm, install, mkdir and
rmdir. In dd there is support to access logical drives by their drive
name.
a) The following programs of the GNU file utilities were ported to OS/2:
chmod supports DOS & OS/2 archive/hidden/system flags (partial,
flags can be changed, but changes are not reported by -v)
cp supports EA's
dd NLS support for conv=ucase/lcase, direct drive access support
df shows type instead of inode information
du
install supports EA's
ls/dir/vdir shows DOS & OS/2 archive/hidden/system flags and 8-bit chars
mkdir
mv supports EA's
rm
rmdir
touch
b) programs not ported:
- chown, chgrp, ln and mkfifo make no sense under OS/2
- mvdir is not needed, OS/2 has a rename() that can handle directories,
so mv already works for this purpose
