I mentioned the man program in Elks on the musl wiki and some of the developers that use musl seemed interested in it. One of them did some modifications to it. You can find the modified version here: https://github.com/rofl0r/hardcore-utils Might be worth comparing to the current version in Elks to see if any of the changes are worth using. I've been working on my own version of various core utilities. Some of them are based on the simple Minix utilities (which Elks uses in some cases). Some of them are based on BSD or public domain code. A few, I've written from scratch. They use ANSI prototypes not K&R in most cases. My goal for this project is to make them as portable as I can, so they'll work on POSIX systems or Windows or even DOS. I have the following utilities: based on Minix utilities: cat ls du - with modifications for reusable functions for directory traversal tr xargs find based on obase utilities: expr original: echo mv based on NetBSD utlities: mktemp tee test based on OpenBSD utiltiies: patch Others are also in the works and I'm still making improvements to these when I can. I also have BSD versions of gzip, libintl and libiconv. I've done some work on msh to try to add internationalization support and minimize/remove the need to use fork. I haven't officially released anything because everything's still pretty much in flux. I'd be interested in sharing code or ideas for improvements though. It would be nice to share some changes rather than needing to duplicate effort.
