The Heirloom Toolchest
The Heirloom Toolchest is a collection of standard Unix utilities.
Highlights are:
- Derived from original Unix material released as Open Source by
Caldera
and
Sun.
- Multiple versions of many utilities are provided
to approach compatibility
with various specifications and Unix flavors, namely
SVID3/SVR4, SVID4/SVR4.2MP,
POSIX.2-1992/SUSV2, POSIX.1-2001/SUSV3,
and 4BSD (SVR4 /usr/ucb).
- Support for lines of arbitrary length
and in many cases binary input data.
- Support for multibyte characters in UTF-8
and many East Asian encodings.
- More than 100 individual utilities including
bc,
cpio,
diff,
ed,
file,
find,
grep,
man,
nawk,
oawk,
pax,
ps,
sed,
sort,
spell,
and tar.
- The cpio utility
can read and write zip files, GNU tar files,
and the cpio formats of Cray UNICOS, SGI IRIX (-K),
SCO UnixWare (-c)
and Tru64 UNIX (-e).
It is also available with the
pax interface.
- Extensive documentation
including a manual page for any utility.
- Runs on Linux, Solaris, Open UNIX, HP-UX, AIX,
FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
