sbase - suckless unix tools
===========================
sbase is a collection of unix tools that are inherently portable
across UNIX and UNIX-like systems.
Amend list of tools with asterisks to mark tools considered finished. Finished doesn't mean work has stopped on these, but that these programs are in a satisfying state according to the current suckless coding practices, this includes having a 1) mandoc manpage 2) clean code In most cases, 1) was the failing criterion. So in the interest of finishing more tools and if you want to, well-written mandoc man- pages are very much appreciated.
2015-01-15 21:17:55 +00:00
The following tools are implemented (* == finished):
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.

chgrp no -h, -H, -L, -P
Add mandoc-manpage for chmod(1) and mark it as finished in README. One small rationale on the way the manpage is set up: Looking at the coreutils manpage, it does not invite to be a quick reference guide, whereas I wrote this manpage to be short and concise in regard to the information the advanced user needs. No one needs to explain what an octal number is. That's not part of the scope of this manpage. Also, nobody wants to read a block of text just to find out how to build an octal mode string.

Minor fix for README
2014-02-12 18:39:13 +00:00
The complement of sbase is ubase[1] which is Linux-specific and
Add initial README
2014-02-12 14:34:09 +00:00
provides all the non-portable tools. Together they are intended to
form a base system similar to busybox but much smaller and suckless.
Building
--------
Update note on building sbase on OpenBSD
2014-11-21 10:36:42 +00:00
You need GNU make to build sbase on OpenBSD.
Require GNU make to build sbase We seem to have problems building individual tools across various make implementations. If anyone can step up and fix this we will remove the dependency on GNU make.
2014-11-17 13:50:19 +00:00
Add initial README
2014-02-12 14:34:09 +00:00
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.
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.
