This is an attempt to make the utilities specified inPOSIX 1002.3 available, assuming /$objtype/ape/binand /lib/rc/ape are bound to /bin before the regularbin directories. Here's a brief description of the status of these commands. EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT UTILITIES awk	Plan 9 awk.	system() uses rc instead of sh. basename POSIX conforming bc	Plan 9 bc. cat	Plan 9 cat.	no -u option (for byte-at-at-time) cd	shell builtins	doesn't use $HOME or $CDPATH chgrp	Plan 9 chgrp.	no -R option (for recursive chgrp).	only takes name, not number  chmod	Plan 9 chmod.	no -R option (for recursive chmod).	no s (setuid) and X (conditional x) perms.	nonstandard a,l perms. chown	Always prints 'Permission denied' and fails. cksum	not implemented cmp	Plan 9 cmp.	nonstandard -L option	no line number printed; hex instead of octal for bytes comm	Plan 9 comm. command	not implemented cp	Plan 9 cp.	no -R and -r (recursive), -i (interactive), -p (preserve) options	nonstandard -z option cut	not implemented date	Plan 9 date.	no format option	nonstandard -n option dd	Plan 9 dd. diff	Plan 9 diff.	can't have both files directories	no -r (recursive) option	-c<n> instead of -c and -C <n> for context dirname	POSIX conforming echo	Plan 9 echo ed	Plan 9 ed	nonstandard b,wq commands env	not implemented expr	V10 expr (seems to be like POSIX) false	POSIX conforming find	not implemented fold	not implemented getconf	not implemented getopts	not implemented grep	script calling Plan 9 grep -G	s means q, should mean forget nonexistent files	nonstandard 1,b,L,q options head	not implemented id	not implemented join	not implemented kill	V10 kill	no -s signalname, no -l arg ln	not implemented locale	not implemented localedef not implemented logger	not implemented logname	not implemented lp	Plan 9 lp ls	Plan 9 ls mailx	not implemented mkdir	Plan 9 mkdir mkfifo	not implemented mv	Plan 9 mv nohup	not implemented od	not implemented paste	not implemented pathchk	not implemented pax	implemented pr	Plan 9 pr printf	not implemented pwd	Plan 9 pwd read	shell builtin rm	Plan 9 rm rmdir	script	no -p option sed	v10 sed sh	ksh93 -- POSIX compliant sleep	Plan 9 sleep sort	Plan 9 sort stty	POSIX compliant (sort of) tail	Plan 9 tail tee	Plan 9 tee test	Plan 9 test (POSIX compliant); copied as [ touch	Plan 9 touch tr	Plan 9 tr true	POSIX compliant umask	noop SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT UTILITIES (OPTIONAL) ar	script to call Plan9 ar, after arg conversion make	V10 make strip	not implemented C LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT UTILITIES OPTION c89	script to APE environment cc (also avaiable as cc) lex	Plan 9 lex yacc	script to Plan 9 yacc General Bugs:The environment variables LANG, LC_ALL,LC_CTYPE, and LC_MESSAGES are ignored. The use of -- as an argument to stop option processingis generally not done. The many 'not implemented' functions will be implementedas scripts using them show up.
