13 # This script requires a Posix-like shell and prefers the extension of a
14 # 'select' statement. The 'select' statement was introduced in the
15 # Korn shell and is available in Bash and other shell implementations.
16 # If your host lacks both Bash and the Korn shell, you can get their
17 # source from one of these locations:
19 # Bash <https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/>
20 # Korn Shell <http://www.kornshell.com/>
21 # MirBSD Korn Shell <https://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm>
23 # For portability to Solaris 9 /bin/sh this script avoids some POSIX
24 # features and common extensions, such as $(...) (which works sometimes
25 # but not others), $((...)), and $10.
27 # This script also uses several features of modern awk programs.
28 # If your host lacks awk, or has an old awk that does not conform to Posix,
29 # you can use either of the following free programs instead:
31 # Gawk (GNU awk) <https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/>
32 # mawk <https://invisible-island.net/mawk/>
35 # Specify default values for environment variables if they are unset.
39 # Output one argument as-is to standard output.
40 # Safer than 'echo', which can mishandle '\' or leading '-'.
45 # Check for awk Posix compliance.
