From e9a910b33c7837b4b868e3abda18eb4810df7f02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leah Rowe Date: Sat, 4 Oct 2025 09:14:33 +0100 Subject: config/git: import suckless sbase i currently use the output of sha512sum in several places of xbmk, which is a bit unreliable in case output changes. other cases where i use util outputs in variables are probably reliable, because i'm using mostly posix utilities in those. to mitigate this, i now import suckless sbase, which has a reasonable sha512sum implementation. *every* binary it builds is being placed in build.list, because i'll probably start using more of them. for example, i may start modifying the "date" implementation, adding the GNU-specific options that i need as mentioned on init.sh i'm importing it in util/ because the sha512sum util is needed for verifying project sources, so if sbase itself is a "project source", that means we can into a chicken and egg bootstrapping problem. this is sbase at revision: 055cc1ae1b3a13c3d8f25af0a4a3316590efcd48 Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe --- util/sbase/cols.1 | 56 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 56 insertions(+) create mode 100644 util/sbase/cols.1 (limited to 'util/sbase/cols.1') diff --git a/util/sbase/cols.1 b/util/sbase/cols.1 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..67c2e8ea --- /dev/null +++ b/util/sbase/cols.1 @@ -0,0 +1,56 @@ +.Dd October 8, 2015 +.Dt COLS 1 +.Os sbase +.Sh NAME +.Nm cols +.Nd columnize output +.Sh SYNOPSIS +.Nm +.Op Fl c Ar num +.Op Ar file ... +.Sh DESCRIPTION +.Nm +reads each +.Ar file +in sequence and writes them to stdout, in as many vertical +columns as will fit in +.Ar num +character columns. +If no +.Ar file +is given, +.Nm +reads from stdin. +.Pp +By default +.Nm cols +tries to figure out the width of the output device. +If that fails, it defaults to 65 chars. +.Sh OPTIONS +.Bl -tag -width Ds +.It Fl c Ar num +Set maximum number of character columns to +.Ar num , +unless input lines exceed this limit. +.El +.Sh ENVIRONMENT +.Bl -tag -width Ds +.It COLUMNS +The width of the output device. +.El +.Sh HISTORY +.Nm +is similar to +.Xr mc 1 +in Plan 9.
