Name : mksh
Product : Fedora 22
Version : 52b
Release : 1.fc22
URL : https://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm
Summary : MirBSD enhanced version of the Korn Shell
Description :
mksh is the MirBSD enhanced version of the Public Domain Korn shell (pdksh),
a bourne-compatible shell which is largely similar to the original AT&T Korn
shell. It includes bug fixes and feature improvements in order to produce a
modern, robust shell good for interactive and especially script use, being a
bourne shell replacement, pdksh successor and an alternative to the C shell.

Update Information:
mksh R52b ========= R52b is a strongly recommended bugfix-only release: *
Recognise ksh93 compiled scripts and LZIP compressed files as binary (i.e. to
not run as mksh plaintext script) * Document that we will implement locale
tracking later * Add EEXIST to failback strerror(3) * Make set -C; :>foo race-
free * Don’t use unset in portable build script * Plug warning on
GNU/kFreeBSD, GNU/Hurd * Document read -a resets the integer base * Fix
manpage: time is not a builtin but a reserved word * Make exit (and return) eat
-1 * parse “$( (( … ) … ) … )” correctly (LP#1532621), Jan Palus * reduce
memory footprint by free(3)ing more aggressively * fix buffer overrun
(LP#1533394), bugreport by izabera * correctly handle nested ADELIM parsing
(LP#1453827), Teckids * permit “read -A/-a arr[idx]” as long as only one
element is read; fix corruption of array indicēs with this construct
(LP#1533396), izabera * Sanitise OS-provided signal number in even more places
* As requested by Jörg, be clear manpage advice is for mksh * Revert (as it was
a regression) POSIX bugfix from R52/2005 related to accent gravis-style command
substitution until POSIX decides either way * Handle export et al. after
command (Austin#351) * Catch EPIPE in built-in cat and return as SIGPIPE
(LP#1532621) * Fix errno in print/echo builtin; optimise that and unbksl *
Update documentation, point out POSIX violation (Austin#1015)
