This file is in the public domain. # Porting notes: # # This script requires a Posix-like shell and prefers the extension of a # 'select' statement. The 'select' statement was introduced in the # Korn shell and is available in Bash and other shell implementations. # If your host lacks both Bash and the Korn shell, you can get their # source from one of these locations: # # Bash # Korn Shell # MirBSD Korn Shell # # For portability to Solaris 10 /bin/sh (supported by Oracle through # January 2024) this script avoids some POSIX features and common # extensions, such as $(...) (which works sometimes but not others), # $((...)), ! CMD, ${#ID}, ${ID##PAT}, ${ID%%PAT}, and $10. # # This script also uses several features of modern awk programs. # If your host lacks awk, or has an old awk that does not conform to Posix, # you can use either of the following free programs instead: # # Gawk (GNU awk) # mawk # Specify default values for environment variables if they are unset. : ${AWK=awk} : ${TZDIR=`pwd`} # Output one argument as-is to standard output. # Safer than 'echo', which can mishandle '\' or leading '-'. say() { printf '%s\n' "$1" } # Check for awk Posix compliance.
