Merely Another Shell Utility Project

Guidelines:

• There should be no dependencies other than linux-utils and coreutils unless strictly necessary
  • An exception is the shell itself
  • Wrappers are excluded from this
  • Check dependencies with check_dependencies or check_optional_dependencies
• All tools should be distro or even OS independent
  • distro specific tools are excluded from this
• The usage of coreutils should stick to POSIX definitions of their interfaces
• POSIX shell is preferred
• Shebang:
  • #!/bin/sh for POSIX shell scripts
  • #!/bin/bash for Bash scripts

Resources

• POSIX Shell manual
• Rick's sh (POSIX shell) tricks
