According to David Korn:
Quote:
pdksh is a public domain version of a UNIX shell that is
unrelated to ksh. It supports most of the 1988
KornShell language features and some of the 1993 features.
Some KornShell scripts will not run with pdksh.

cdbs-edit-patch
CDBS-EDIT-PATCH(1) CDBS Documentation CDBS-EDIT-PATCH(1)
NAME
cdbs-edit-patch - create or edit a CDBS simple-patchsys.mk patch
SYNOPSIS
cdbs-edit-patch patchname
DESCRIPTION
cdbs-edit-patch creates or edits patches for use by the CDBS simple-patchsys.mk patch system. For more information about CDBS please see
the documentation under /usr/share/doc/cdbs/.
When patchname exists, cdbs-edit-patch will set up a temporary working source tree, apply all patches up to and including patchname in lex-
icographic order, and spawn an interactive shell for the developer. The developer can then edit files in this working tree. When the
developer is done and exits the shell, cdbs-edit-patch updates patchname to reflect the changes made. To abort the process from the inter-
active shell, exit with a nonzero exit value.
When patchname does not exist, cdbs-edit-patch will assume that a new patch should be created. As with the above scenario, cdbs-edit-patch
will first create a temporary working source tree and apply all patches up to the new patch in lexicographic order. When the shell is
quit, cdbs-edit-patch will create patchname.
