Engelschall http://www.gnu.org/software/shtool/ ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/shtool/ Version 2.0.8 (18-Jul-2008) The GNU shtool program is a compilation of small but very stable and portable shell scripts into a single shell tool. All ingredients were in successful use over many years in various free software projects. The compiled shtool program is intended to be used inside the source tree of free software packages. There it can take over various (usually non-portable) tasks related to the building and installation of such packages. It currently contains the following tools: echo Print string with optional construct expansion mdate Pretty-print modification time of a file or dir table Pretty print a field-separated list as a table prop Display progress with a running propeller move Move files with simultan substitution install Install a program, script or datafile mkdir Make one or more directories mkln Make link with calculation of relative paths mkshadow Make a shadow tree fixperm Fix file permissions inside a source tree rotate Rotate logfiles tarball Roll distribution tarballs subst Apply sed(1) substitution operations platform Platform identification utility arx Extended archive command slo Separate linker options by library class scpp Sharing C Pre-Processor version Generate and maintain a version information file path Deal with program paths This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
