#illumos — Public Fediverse posts

I have the code for #GNU #coreutils 9.11 #dd to use #getopt, and here it is in action.

I have no idea how to show the code to the coreutils people, whoever they even are. But it exists, and has finally been done.

So that's two versions of #FreeBSD dd, and now GNU dd. I'll do #NetBSD dd next.

I still intend to set up an #Illumos system at some point, but a patch to #Tribblix/OpenIndiana/OmniOS/SmartOS dd will have to wait on that, unless an Illumos person sees these and is inspired. (-:

@feld

If you look around you should still be able to find Luke Mewburn's paper on #MewburnRC .

Similarly, what Linux people erroneously call "sysvinit" is actually van Smoorenburg init+rc created (by Miquel van Smoorenburg) for Minix in 1992.

It's not from #Unix System 5 at all, as that had obsoleted R3's init+rc system years before 1992 and gone on to the AIX SRC, and the SAF, SAC, ttymon, SMF, and stuff still in #Illumos today.
