From 9c0a105ae1bc9e26af3b26ad81ac72e98ba51193 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lucas Holt Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 18:49:44 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Import shuf utility from OpenBSD Import the shuf (random permutation) utility from Brian Callahan's OpenBSD implementation (https://github.com/ibara/shuf). Features: - Shuffle lines from stdin or a file - -e flag: shuffle command-line arguments - -i flag: shuffle a range of integers (lo-hi) - -n flag: limit output to N lines - -r flag: sample with replacement (repeat output) - -z flag: null-delimited output - -o flag: write to output file MidnightBSD-specific changes: - Use __dead2 instead of __dead for noreturn functions - Added forward declarations for all functions - Removed OpenBSD-specific pledge() calls - Added Capsicum support using caph_enter() from capsicum_helpers.h - All functions (arc4random_uniform, reallocarray, strtonum, getprogname) are already present in MidnightBSD libc Also added aitools.md documenting GNU coreutils compatibility for AI agents.

-| Utility | Location | Notes | -|---------|----------|-------| -| `b64encode` | `/usr/bin/` | Base64 encoding | -| `b64decode` | `/usr/bin/` | Base64 decoding | -| `checksums` | `/sbin/` | `md5sum`, `sha1sum`, `sha224sum`, `sha256sum`, `sha384sum`, `sha512sum` | -| `cksum` | `/usr/bin/` | Checksum utility | -| `install` | `/usr/bin/` | File installation | -| `xinstall` | `/usr/bin/` | BSD alternative to GNU install | -| `join` | `/usr/bin/` | Join lines from two files | -| `link` | `/bin/` | Create hard links | -| `mknod` | `/sbin/` | Create special files | -| `nl` | `/usr/bin/` | Number lines of files | -| `nohup` | `/usr/bin/` | Run command immune to hangups | -| `od` | `/usr/bin/` | Octal dump | -| `paste` | `/usr/bin/` | Merge lines of files | -| `pathchk` | `/usr/bin/` | Check file name validity | -| `printf` | `/usr/bin/` | Format and print data | -| `pr` | `/usr/bin/` | Convert text files for printing | -| `readlink` | `/usr/bin/` | Print resolved symbolic links | -| `realpath` | `/bin/` | Print resolved paths | -| `split` | `/usr/bin/` | Split file into pieces | -| `stdbuf` | `/usr/bin/` | Run command with modified I/O buffering | -| `sum` | `/usr/bin/` | Print checksum and block count | -| `timeout` | `/bin/` | Run command with timeout | -| `truncate` | `/usr/bin/` | Truncate files to specified size | -| `uuencode` | `/usr/bin/` | UU encoding | -| `uudecode` | `/usr/bin/` | UU decoding | - ---- - -## Top Missing Features for AI Agents - -For AI agents performing automation tasks, the most impactful missing features are: - -1. **`sed -i`** - In-place file editing - - **Impact**: Very High - Commonly used for batch file modifications - - **Workaround**: Use `sed 's/old/new/' file > tmp && mv tmp file` - -2. **`grep -P`** - Perl-compatible regular expressions - - **Impact**: High - Needed for advanced pattern matching - - **Workaround**: Use `perl -ne 'print if /pattern/'` or Python - -3. **`find -printf`** - Custom output formatting - - **Impact**: High - Powerful for data extraction and transformation - - **Workaround**: Use `find ... -exec stat -f format {} \;` or post-process with awk - -4. **`base64` / `base32`** - Standard encoding utilities - - **Impact**: Medium - Commonly used in data processing - - **Workaround**: Use `b64encode`/`b64decode` for Base64 - -5. **`shuf`** - Random shuffling of lines - - **Impact**: Medium - Useful for generating test data - - **Status**: ✅ **Imported** - Now available in `/usr/bin/shuf` - -6. **`shred`** - Secure file deletion - - **Impact**: Medium - Security-sensitive operations - - **Workaround**: Use `rm -P` (if available) or overwrite then delete - -7. **`tac`** - Reverse file printing - - **Impact**: Medium - Useful for log processing - - **Workaround**: Use `tail -r` (if available) or `awk '{a[i++]=$0} END {for (j=i-1; j>=0;) print a[j--] }'` - -8. **`numfmt`** - Human-readable number conversion - - **Impact**: Medium - Useful for parsing human-readable data - - **Workaround**: Use `awk` or `perl` - -9. **`parallel`** - Parallel execution - - **Impact**: High for performance - Not part of coreutils but widely used - - **Workaround**: Use `xargs -P` for parallel processing - ---- - -## Summary - -### Statistics -- **Total BSD utilities in source**: ~340 in `/usr/src/bin/` and `/usr/src/usr.bin/` -- **Completely missing coreutils**: ~14-19 (shuf now imported) -- **Utilities with feature differences**: ~10-15 - -### Key Differences -1. **Naming**: Some utilities have BSD-specific names (e.g., `b64encode` vs `base64`) -2. **Locations**: Some utilities are in `/sbin/` instead of `/usr/bin/` (e.g., checksum tools) -3. **Flags**: BSD uses different flags (e.g., `ls -G` vs `ls --color`) -4. **Features**: Some GNU extensions are not implemented (e.g., `sed -i`, `grep -P`) - -### Recommendations for AI Agents -1. Use BSD-native alternatives where available -2. For missing features, use shell scripts, `perl`, or `awk` as workarounds -3. Check `/sbin/` for checksum utilities (`md5sum`, `sha256sum`, etc.) -4. Use `ls -G` instead of `ls --color` -5. Use `find -regex` instead of `find -printf` with post-processing - -### Testing Notes -- Verified on: MidnightBSD (based on source tree at `/usr/src`) -- Date: 2026-07-09 -- Method: Manual testing of utilities and feature flags - ---- - -*This file was generated by Mistral Vibe to document compatibility differences for AI agent tooling.* diff --git a/usr.bin/shuf/shuf.c b/usr.bin/shuf/shuf.c index cb82336a45..8e0e73c577 100644 --- a/usr.bin/shuf/shuf.c +++ b/usr.bin/shuf/shuf.c @@ -211,14 +211,6 @@ main(int argc, char *argv[]) int iflag = 0, oflag = 0; size_t buflen = 0, bufsize = 8192, nbufsize; -#ifdef HAVE_PLEDGE - if (pledge("stdio rpath wpath cpath", NULL) == -1) - err(1, "pledge"); -#endif - - if (caph_enter() < 0) - err(1, "cap_enter"); - while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "ehi:n:o:rvz")) != -1) { switch (ch) { case 'e': @@ -304,6 +296,7 @@ main(int argc, char *argv[]) goto out; } + /* Open input file before entering capability mode */ if (argc == 0 || (argv[0][0] == '-' && argv[0][1] == '\0')) { ifile = stdin; } else { @@ -311,6 +304,10 @@ main(int argc, char *argv[]) err(1, "could not open %s", *argv); } + /* Enter capability mode after all files are opened */ + if (caph_enter() < 0) + err(1, "cap_enter"); + if ((buf = malloc(bufsize)) == NULL) err(1, "could not create initial shuffle buffer");
