Description-en: portable shell tool from the GNU project
GNU shtool is a tool for developers of software programs.
It is a compilation of small but very stable and portable
shell scripts into a single shell tool. All ingredients
were in successful use over many years in various free
software projects.
.
The compiled shtool program is intended to be used inside
the source tree of other free software packages. There it
can overtake various (usually non-portable) tasks related
to the building and installation of such a package. It
especially can replace the old mkdir.sh, install.sh and
related scripts.
.
GNU shtool currently contains the following tools: echo,
mdate, table, prop, move, install, mkdir, mkln, mkshadow,
fixperm, rotate, tarball, subst, platform, arx, slo, scpp,
version and path.
