The programs in this package are:
basename date dirname env expr false groups id logname
pathchk printenv printf sleep tee test true tty whoami yes
nice nohup stty su uname who
pathchk is a POSIX invention for checking pathname portability.
Major changes in release 1.7:
* add su, who, true, false commands
* add more tests to expr
* fix printf program handling of \ escapes
* printf can re-use format string for multiple groups of arguments
* printf catches numeric conversion errors with an ANSI C library
* stty nl and -nl were backwards
* date can format an arbitrary date without setting it
Please send bug reports for this software to the mailing list
bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu
