The Schily Bourne Shell

The Schily Bourne Shell was derived from the Bourne Shell sources from
OpenSolaris.

The Schily Bourne Shell is actively maintained and enhanced on a regular base.
It can be compiled into three variants:
- The non-POSIX SVr4/OpenSolaris variant (obosh)
- The minimal POSIX compliant variant (pbosh)
- The POSIX compliant extended variant (bosh)
This package contains the third variant.

shells/bosh: Update to 20230112

New features with AN-2023-01-12:

UPDATING:

  and star.4.

NEW FEATURES:

- libxtermcap/termcap: update to latest FreeBSD commit

- libxtermcap/termcap.url: remove file containing outdated
  information about where to obtain a termcap file from.

- RULES/os-sunos5.def: man pages will now be installed into
  BSD-style sections on Solaris >=11.4 and descendents.

Changelog from AN-2022-09-18:
With great sadness we report the death of schilytools main author and
long time maintainer Jörg Schilling (1955-03-27--2021-10-10).  Jörg, we
miss you!  After his passing, development has been picked up by a group
of volunteers who would like to keep the project alive and well.  Our
goal is to carefully preserve the portability and compatibility of this
project while extending it to new platforms and implementing new tools
and features that fit the tool set.

As a part of the change in management, the schilytools project has moved
from Sourceforge to Codeberg.

- general: Explain how to contribute and update README

- general: Add list of contributors

- all: Misc spelling fixes
  Submitted by Friedhelm Mehnert.

- all: Update E-Mail address and project URL in many places.
  Jörg's old joerg@schily.net address is defunct and so is his
  postal address.  As a part of an ongoing documentation cleanup,
  these addresses have been replaced by our new project pages in
  many locations.
  Submitted by Nico Sonack.

- man pages: work around buggy syntax highlighting by adding
  \" " comments into various places.
  Submitted by Nico Sonack.

- RULES: Fix build on macOS 12.4

- RULES: add i386-openbsd-clang.rul
  This should permit compilation on modern OpenBSD using clang as
  the system compiler.

- autoconf: Work around clang bug in #pragma weak detection.
  A clang compiler bug causing a crash in the configure test for
  #pragma weak has been worked around, permitting use of weak
  symbols when compiling with clang.

- tests: fix arm64/aarch64 architecture confusion on OpenBSD

shells/bosh: Update to 20210729

Changelog from AN-2021-07-29:
- Bourne Shell: "cd -" now prints the new directory. POSIX requires this.

  Thanks to a report from Robert Elz.

- Bourne Shell: "make install" now works wit SuPro Make as well.
  Previously, the target /opt/schily/xpg4/bin/bosh (a symlink) was not
  installed because of a missing rule that caused SuPro Make to complain.
  about a target with no existing rule to make.

- Bourne Shell: z/OS only supports the minimum fields from struct rusage
  that are required by POSIX. We need the same hack as for HAIKU to
  be able to compile.

  Thanks to a report from Matthew R. Wilson

- Bourne Shell: z/OS does not #define MAXPATHLEN, so we #define it
  to be 1024 by default

Log message:
shells/bosh: Update to 20210607

Changelog from AN-2021-05-19:
- Bourne Shell: the fc(1) builtin now handles "fc -l -0" the same
  way as ksh does and refers to the current command. Before only
  "fc -l -1" did work to select the previous command.

  Together with the "ERR" trap fix, this permits to install a
  "command not found" handler in the shell that could explain users
  how to install a missing command.

  This "missing command" handler could be implemented via:

    trap 'show-info-message-for-missing-command $(fc -l -0)' ERR

Changelog from AN-2021-06-07:
- Bourne Shell: the man page now uses a correct notation for "[]" for
  the arguments of the builtin "dosh" that has been introduced in May
  2012.

Log message:
shells/bosh: Update to 20210421

Changelog from AN-2021-01-05:
- Bourne Shell: When we introduced ${.sh.path} in February 2020, we did
  use the "new" and POSIX-only function realpath() that is not present
  on e.g. Ultrix. We now use abspath() from libschily if realpath() is
  missing.

  Note that abspath() is better than realpath(), as it supports path
  names longer than PATH_MAX, but since ${.sh.path} is only used to
  return the absolute pathname for the current shell binary, this is
  not a problem and on the other side, we can avoid linking against
  libschily this way, so shell scripting with lazy linking is faster
  since less libraries need to be linked at startup.

Changelog from AN-2021-04-21:
- Bourne Shell: gmatch.c: The new version no longer aborts with an
  illegal multi byte sequence as "no match". As a result, the "*"
  now again matches any filename - even if the filename contains an
  illegal multi-byte sequence. This is a problem that did not exist
  on the original Bourne Shell from Solaris that used gmatch() from
  the AT&T libgen, but since we added our private portable gmatch.c.
  to get better portability.

  Thanks to Stephane Chazelas for reporting the problem related to
  multi-byte to wide character conversion and illegal multi byte
  sequences in the case statement and filesystem globbing.

- Bourne Shell: word.c::readwc() no longer uses prwc() but rather
  a loop on the original multi-byte stream to print the "set -v"
  output. This permits to output the original input data in any
  case instead of stumbling over illegal multi-byte sequences.

  Thanks to Stephane Chazelas for reporting the general problem
  with input byte sequences that cause an EILSEQ error.

- Bourne Shell: struct fileblk now remembers lastwc and the related
  input string as fileblk->mbs[] in order to avoid incorrect
  conversions via wctomb() in case that the input wide char was a
  result from an EILSEQ conversion and thus has no related multi
  byte string.

  An important visible result of that change is that input read
  by the builtin command read(1) correctly forwards input that
  caused an EILSEQ error.

  It could not be verified whether this covers all possible similar
  cases, but it is at least very close to a completely correct
  solution.

  Thanks to Stephane Chazelas for reporting the general problem
  with input byte sequences that cause an EILSEQ error.

- Bourne Shell: xec.c: Cstyle changes

- Bourne Shell: the Copyright messages now mention 2021
