and mark it as finished in the README. This is another example showing how broken the GNU coreutils are: $ echo -e "äää\tüüü\tööö" | gnu-expand -t "5,10,20" äää üüü ööö $ echo -e "äää\tüüü\tööö" | sbase-expand -t "5,10,20" äää üüü ööö This is due to the fact that they are still not UTF8-aware and actually see "ä" as two single characters, expanding the "äää" with 4 spaces to a tab of length 10. The correct way however is to expand the "äää" with 2 spaces to a tab of length 5. One can only imagine how this silently breaks a lot of code around the world. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? |

sbase - suckless unix tools
===========================
sbase is a collection of unix tools that are inherently portable
across UNIX and UNIX-like systems.
The following tools are implemented ('*' == finished, '#' == UTF-8 support,
'=' == implicit UTF-8 support):

The complement of sbase is ubase[1] which is Linux-specific and
provides all the non-portable tools. Together they are intended to
form a base system similar to busybox but much smaller and suckless.
Building
--------
To build sbase, simply type make. You may have to fiddle with
config.mk depending on your system.
You can also build sbase-box, which generates a single binary
containing all the required tools. You can then symlink the
individual tools to sbase-box.
Ideally you will want to statically link sbase. If you are on Linux
we recommend using musl-libc[2].
Portability
-----------
sbase has been compiled on a variety of different operating systems,
including Linux, *BSD, OSX, Haiku, Solaris, SCO OpenServer and others.
Various combinations of operating systems and architectures have also
been built.
You can build sbase with gcc, clang, tcc, nwcc and pcc.
