This is a package root directory $PACKAGEROOT. Source and binary

packages in this directory tree are controlled by the command

bin/package

Binary files may be in this directory or in the install root directory

INSTALLROOT=$PACKAGEROOT/arch/`bin/package`

For more information run

bin/package help

Many of the packaged commands self-document via the --man and --html

options; those that do have no separate man page.

Each package is covered by one of the license files

lib/package/LICENSES/<license>

where <license> is the license type for the package. At the top

of each license file is a URL; the license covers all software that

refers to this URL. For details run

bin/package license [<package>]

Any archives, distributions or packages made from source or

binaries covered by license(s) must contain the corresponding

license file(s).

AST

===

This is the AT&amp;T Software Technology (AST) toolkit from AT&amp;T Research.

It includes many tools and libraries, like KSH, NMAKE, SFIO, VMALLOC, VCODEX,

etc. It also includes more efficient replacements for a lot of the POSIX tools.

It was designed to be portable across many UNIX systems and also works

under UWIN on Microsoft Windows (see UWIN repo on GitHub under att/uwin).

This software is used to build itself, using NMAKE.

After cloning this repo, cd to the top directory of it and run:

./bin/package make

Almost all the tools in this package (including the bin/package script are

self-documenting; run <tool> --man (or --html) for the man page for the tool.

(If you were used to the old AST packaging mechanism, on [www.research.att.com](https://web.archive.org/web/20151104235435/http://www2.research.att.com/%7Eastopen/download/),

this repo is equivalent to downloading the INIT and ast-open packages and

running: ./bin/package read on them).
