ksh93/README updates

Browse source 
src/cmd/ksh93/README:
- Update compile-time options docuemntation.
- Update build instructions.
- Remove obsolete stuff.

src/cmd/ksh93/SHOPT.sh:
- Remove unused SHOPT_SEVENBIT option. A search in ast-open-history
  shows it was removed from include/edit.h on 2001-10-31. You can
  still get its effect by changing STRIP from 0377 to 0177 there.

@ -14,60 +14,89 @@ ksh language more compatible with other shells by following the POSIX
standard more closely. See the manual page for details. It is enabled by
default if ksh is invoked as sh, otherwise it is disabled by default.
The Makefile file contains several compilation options that can be set
The SHOPT.sh file contains several compilation options that can be set
before compiling ksh. Options are of the form SHOPT_option and become
#define inside the code. These options are set to their recommended
value and some of these may disappear as options in future releases.
A value of 0, or no value represents off, 1 represents on.
Note that == is needed, not =, because these are nmake state variables
and changing their value will cause all modules that could be affected
by this change to be recompiled.
A value of 0 represents off, 1 represents on, no value means probe. For
options where no feature probe is available, probe is the same as off.
The options have the following defaults and meanings:
2DMATCH on Two-dimensional ${.sh.match} for ${var//pat/str}.
ACCT off Shell accounting.
ACCTFILE off Enable per user accounting info.
AUDIT off For auditing specific users
AUDITFILE "/etc/ksh_audit"
APPEND on Allows var+=val string and array append.
BASH off Bash compatibility mode. It is not fully implemented
and is experimental.
BGX on Enables background job extensions. Noted by "J" in the
version string when enabled. (1) JOBMAX=n limits the
number of concurrent background jobs to n; the (n+1)th
background job will block until a running background job
completes. (2) SIGCHLD traps are queued so that each
completing background job gets its own trap; $! is set to
the job pid and $? is set to the job exit status at the
beginning of the trap.
BRACEPAT on C-shell type abc{d,e}f style file generation
CMDLIB_BLTIN off Makes all commands in libcmd.a builtins. The
SH_CMDLIB_DIR nmake state variable can be used to
specify a directory.
CMDLIB_DIR off Sets CMDLIB_BLTIN=1 and provides a default value
of "/opt/ast/bin" for SH_CMDLIB_DIR.
COMPOUND_ARRAY
on Allows all components of compound variables except the
first to be any string by enclosing in [...]. It also
allows components other than the last to be arrays.
This is experimental and only partially complete.
CMDLIB_HDR "<cmdlist.h>"
The header in which yuo can provide a custom list of
libcmd commands to provide as path-bound built-ins.
CMDLIB_DIR "\"/opt/ast/bin\""
The default virtual directory prefix for path-bound
built-ins. The value must include double quotes.
CRNL off <cr><nl> treated as <nl> in shell grammar.
DEVFD Use the more secure /dev/fd mechanism instead of FIFOs for
proces substitutions. On by default on OSs with /dev/fd.
DYNAMIC on Dynamic loading of builtins. (Requires dlopen() interface.)
ECHOPRINT off Make echo equivalent to print.
EDPREDICT on Enables predictive editing. As you type a line beginning
with a #, the following characters are treated as a shell
pattern and cause matching lines from the history file to
be displayed as a numbered list as you type. You can
scroll up and down this list or you can use <ESC>nTAB to
make this the current line (n defaults to 1 if omitted).
ESH on Compile with emacs command line editing. The original
emacs line editor code was provided by Mike Veach at IH.
FILESCAN on Experimental option that allows fast reading of files
using while < file;do ...; done and allowing fields in
each line to be accessed as positional parameters.
KIA off Allow generation of shell cross reference database with -I.
FIXEDARRAY on When using typeset, a name in the format NAME[N]
creates a fixed-size array and any attempt to access a
subscript N or higher is an error. Multidimensional
fixed-size arrays NAME[N1][N2]... are also supported.
GLOBCASEDET Adds the 'globcasedetect' shell option. When this shell
option is turned on, file name generation (globbing)
and file name listing and completion automatically become
case-insensitive on file systems where the difference
between upper- and lowercase is ignored for file names.
This compile-time option is enabled by default on operating
systems that can support case-insensitive file systems.
HISTEXPAND on Enable !-style history expansion similar to csh(1).
KIA off Allow generation of shell cross reference database with -R.
MULTIBYTE on Multibyte character handling. Requires mblen() and
mbctowc().
NAMESPACE on Allows namespaces. This is experimental, incomplete
and undocumented.
NOECHOE off Disable the '-e' option to the 'echo' command,
unless SHOPT_ECHOPRINT is enabled.
OLDTERMIO off Use either termios or termio at runtime.
OO on Experimental object oriented extension. This option
should disappear soon.
OPTIMIZE on Optimize loop invariants for with for and while loops.
PFSH off Compile with support for profile shell. (Solaris; obsolete)
P_SUID off If set, all real uids, greater than or equal to this
value will require the -p flag to run suid/sgid scripts.
PFSH off Compile with support for profile shell.
RAWONLY off Turn on if the vi line mode doesn't work right unless
RAWONLY on Turn on if the vi line mode doesn't work right unless
you do a set -o viraw.
SEVENBIT off Strip the eighth bit from characters.
SPAWN off Use spawn as combined fork/exec. May improve speed on
some systems.
REGRESS off Enable the __regress__ built-in command and instrumented
intercepts for testing.
REMOTE off Set --rc (read profile scripts) even if ksh was invoked
with standard input on a socket, i.e. as a remote shell.
SPAWN on Use posix_spawn(3) as combined fork/exec if job control
is not active. Improves speed.
STATS on Add .sh.stats compound variable.
SUID_EXEC on Execute /etc/suid_exec for setuid, setgid script.
SYSRC Source /etc/ksh.kshrc on initializing an interactive
shell. This is on by default if /etc/ksh.kshrc or
/etc/bash.bashrc exists at compile time.
TEST_L Add 'test -l' as an alias for 'test -L'. This is on by
default if the OS's external 'test' command supports it.
TIMEOUT off Set this to the number of seconds for timing out and
exiting the shell when you don't enter a command. If
non-zero, TMOUT can not be set larger than this value.
@ -75,30 +104,48 @@ The options have the following defaults and meanings:
VSH on Compile with vi command line editing. The original vi
line editor code was provided by Pat Sullivan at CB.
The following compile options are set automatically by the feature testing:
DEVFD Set when /dev/fd is a directory that names open files.
SHELLMAGIC
Set on systems that recognize script beginning with #! specially.
To build ksh (as well as libcmd and libast libraries on which ksh depends),
cd to the top directory and run:
bin/package make
In most instances, you will generate ksh from a higher level directory
which also generates libcmd and libast libraries on which ksh depends.
However, it is possible to generate ksh, with by running make -f ksh.mk
in this directory. The ksh.mk file was generated from the nmake Makefile.
If you do not have make or nmake, but do have a Version 7 UNIX compatible
shell, then you can run the script mamexec < Mamfile to build ksh.
If you have nmake, version 2.3 or later, you can use it without the -f ksh.mk.
In either case, ksh relies on libraries libast and libcmd which must be
built first. The binary for ksh becomes the file named ./ksh which can
be copied to where ever you install it.
The compiled binaries are stored in the arch directory, in a subdirectory
that corresponds to your architecture. The command 'bin/package host type'
outputs the name of this subdirectory.
If you use old make or the Mamfile, and you system has dynamic shared
libraries, then you should define the variables mam_cc_static and
mam_cc_dynanamic as the compiler options that request static linking
and dynamic linking respectively. This will decrease the number of
shared libraries that ksh need and cut startup time substantially.
If you have trouble or want to tune the binaries, you may pass additional
compiler and linker flags. It is usually best to export these as environment
variables before running bin/package as they could change the name of the
build subdirectory of the arch directory, so exporting them is a convenient
way to keep them consistent between build and test commands. Note that this
system uses CCFLAGS instead of the usual CFLAGS. An example that makes
Solaris Studio cc produce a 64-bit binary:
The makefile should also generate shcomp, a program that will precompile
export CCFLAGS="-xc99 -m64 -O" LDFLAGS="-m64"
bin/package make
Alternatively you can append these to the command, and they will only be
used for that command. You can also specify an alternative shell in which to
run the build scripts this way. For example:
bin/package make SHELL=/bin/bash CCFLAGS="-O2 -I/opt/local/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib"
For more information, run:
bin/package help
Many other commands in this repo self-document via the --help, --man and
--html options; those that do have no separate manual page.
Automated installation is not supported. To install manually:
cp arch/$(bin/package host type)/bin/ksh /usr/local/bin/
cp src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/ksh.1
(adapting the destination directories as required).
The build should also generate shcomp, a program that will precompile
a script. ksh93 is able to recognize files in this format and process
them as scripts. You can use shcomp to send out scripts when you
don't want to give away the original script source.
@ -137,25 +184,6 @@ COMPATIBILITY contains a list of incompatibilities with ksh-88. The
file bltins.mm is a draft troff (mm) memo describing how to write
built-in commands that can be loaded at run time.
Most of the work for internationalization has been done with ksh93.
The file ksh.msg is a generated file that contains error messages
that need to be translated. In addition, the function translate()
in sh/init.c has to be completed to interface with the dictionary
lookup. The translate function takes two argument, the string
that is to be translated and a type which is
0 when a library string needs translation.
1 when one of the error messages in ksh.msg needs translation.
2 when a string in a script needs translation. You use a $ in front
of a double quoted string in a script to indicate that it
needs translation. The -D option for ksh builds the dictionary.
The translate routine needs to return the translated message.
For dictionaries that need to use a numeric key, it should be
possible to use the strhash() function to generate numbers to
go along with each of the messages and to use this number both
when generating the dictionary and when converting strings.
If you encounter error messages of type 1 that are not be translated via
this translate() function send mail to the address below.
