We don't use .xml man pages. Rather, with the combination of a template

To GNU or the id, groups maintainer(s),
I propose that the -s/--sort string be an acceptable option to both
procedures, as in your default id -Gns command in the groups(.sh)
procedure. Personally, I'm only interested in an ascending (e.g., [Aa]
to [Zz]) sort, but perhaps this position should be r
Thanks for following this up Matej.
Some very quick comments below. Will review more thoroughly when I've time.

tested Solaris 10 Update 6 / gcc-4.1.2 / SPARC 64-bit)

Hi,
Since 7.1 I'm seeing an error message with mv when attempting to move files
from filesystems mounted on swap (such as /tmp and /var/run). I've only been
able to test on sparc Solaris and see the issue on Solaris 8 and 9 but not
on 10.
To reproduce:
root>touch /tmp/a
root>mv /tmp/a .

One note about this patch is that I have unsuccesfully tried to
