I have a small wish list for libast
1. sfopenat(), which does sfopen() with the extra arguments of
openat() to access files relative to a directory fd and NFS version 4
XATTR files.


2. AST sort should have these two options for GNU+OSX sort compatibility:
-b, --ignore-leading-blanks  ignore leading blanks
-z, --zero-terminated     end lines with 0 byte, not newline
(conflicts with AST sort -z, can the AST sort option be renamed?)

For Solaris /usr/bin/sort option -S compatibility:
     -S kmem         Specifies the maximum amount  of  swap-based
                     memory  used  for sorting, in kilobytes (the
                     default unit). kmem can  also  be  specified
                     directly as a number of bytes (b), kilobytes
                     (k), megabytes (m), gigabytes (g), or  tera-
                     bytes  (t);  or  as  a percentage (%) of the
                     installed physical memory.
This conflicts with AST sort -S, can the AST sort option be renamed to
avert conflict?


3. AST cmp should have these two options for GNU+OSX compatibility:
        -b  --print-bytes  Print differing bytes
        -n LIMIT  --bytes=LIMIT  Compare at most LIMIT bytes
