HISTORY

       The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool.  It was prompted
       by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

SEE ALSO

       shtool(1), sed(1).
