Include GNU which 2.16
Stephen Hahn (sch at sun.com)
ident "$Hg$ SMI"
1. Summary
This case adds the GNU/FSF implementation of which(1), under the
| integration guidelines for /usr/gnu [1]. Patch binding is sought
| for this case.
2. Discussion
The GNU implementation of which(1) offers a number of enhancements
for interactive and scripting use over the which(1) invocation in
/usr/bin. (For instance, unlike the /usr/bin implementation's ties
to csh(1) (and specifically $HOME/.cshrc for aliases), the GNU
implementation has features that allow use with a variety of
shells.)
A new package, SUNWgnu-which, will be introduced to deliver the
component.
The initial version provided will be which-2.16.
|
| The which(1) manual page will be modified to include the following
| text in the "NOTES" section:
|
| The FSF/GNU implementation of the 'which' command can be found
| at /usr/gnu/bin/which. (See gnu(5) for additional details on
| FSF/GNU commands.)
