Shell Programming and Scripting

The standards are available at Index of /onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities.

I use this bash function to look up the specs for a standard command:

Code:

sus()
{
    local dir=9699919799
    local localsusdir=/usr/share/sus/ ## adjust to taste
    html_file=$localsusdir/$1.html
    sus_dir=http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/$dir/utilities/
    [ -f "/usr/share/sus/$1.html" ] || lynx -source $sus_dir${1##*/}.html > $html_file
    lynx -dump -nolist $html_file | ${PAGER:-less}
}

Invoke as, e.g.:

Code:

sus find
