-FUNCTIONS
-=================================================================================
-
-This is a document for example functions to ensure portability across different
-systems. These are mere examples as we currently depend on non-POSIX utilities on
-packages. These dependencies will be removed as we go forward.
-
-I don't want to turn the functions in here into a library because these are
-really simple, and I believe that the build scripts should be self-contained.
-What's the point of creating portable functions if the functions themselves
-depend on a library file to be installed on a system?
-
-These obviously have their own limitations, but not every limitation has to be
-solved in a single function. Use your imagination, non-standard flags/commands
-may save you some keypresses, but they are not standard, because you can already
-do these with your brain and a few more keypresses.
-
-SED -i
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The -i function isn't portable across systems, and isn't defined by POSIX. But it
-isn't too valuable as it can be replaced with a simple function. I present you
-sed_i. This function only depends on the fact that the file name is the last
-argument.
-
-
-    sed_i() {
-        # This makes sure that we store the last argument on
-        # a file variable.
-        for file; do :; done
-
-        # Run the arguments against sed, and redirect output
-        # to a temporary file simply named '_'.
-        sed "$@" > _
-        # Instead of moving we cat into the file. This way we
-        # do not have to worry about preserving permissions of
-        # the file
-        cat _ > "$file"; rm -f _
-    }
-
-In build scripts with multiple 'sed -i' usage, such a function can be defined for
-and used. If only it is used a single time, defining such a function is quite
-unnecessary. In such a case prefer doing it manually. Assume the file is named
-'file.h' and we are calling 's/this/that/g'.
-
-
-    sed 's/this/that/g' file.h >_
-    cat _ > file.h; rm -f _
-
-
-INSTALL -D,-t
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-'install' does not have a standard. Options such as '-D' and '-t', even though
-they are the most used, do not exist on every implementation. Avoid using these
-flags where possible. You can prefer using functions such as these. The first
-function is similar to '-t' flag, where you can install multiple files to a given
-target. The second function is similar to the usage without the '-t' flag, a
-single file where it will be named as the argument.

-    kinstall_t() {
-         # usage: kinstall_t 755 /usr/bin file1 file2 file3
-         mod=$1 dir=$2; mkdir -p "$dir"
-         shift 2
-         for file; do
-             ! [ -d "$dir/$file" ] || {
-                 printf '%s\n' "Error: $dir/$file is a directory >&2"
-                 return 1
-             }
-             cp "$file" "$dir"
-             chmod "$mod" "$dir/$file"
-         done
-    }
-
-
-    kinstall() {
-        # usage: kinstall 755 filename /usr/bin/file
-        ! [ -d "$3" ] || {
-            printf '%s\n' "Error: $target is a directory" >&2
-            return 1
-        }
-        mkdir -p "${3%/*}"; cp "$2" "$3"
-        chmod "$1" "$3"
-    }
