- The programs in this package are:
-
- basename date dirname env expr false groups id logname
- pathchk printenv printf sleep tee test true tty whoami yes
- nice nohup stty su uname who
-
- pathchk is a POSIX invention for checking pathname portability.
-
- Major changes in release 1.7:
- * add su, who, true, false commands
- * add more tests to expr
- * fix printf program handling of \ escapes
- * printf can re-use format string for multiple groups of arguments
- * printf catches numeric conversion errors with an ANSI C library
- * stty nl and -nl were backwards
- * date can format an arbitrary date without setting it
