Plan 9 from User Space

Primary LanguageCOtherNOASSERTION

This is a port of many Plan 9 libraries and programs to Unix.

Fork Changes

Compared to the original plan9port this fork contains the following (notable [there may be others]) differences:

  • acme may write a command history to a file (-H option)
  • stats can be told to hide machine names (-H option)
  • 9front paint was ported (PR for original p9p, so might make it upstream)
  • acme: dotfiles are hidden by default and can be toggled with Dotfiles
  • acme: scratch area contains Clear to instantly remove all text
  • page: added zoom out
  • fix build on Alpine Linux (musl libc)
  • acme: navigation mode for easily travelling through file hierarchy

Installation

To install, run ./INSTALL. It builds mk and then uses mk to run the rest of the installation.

For more details, see install(1), at install.txt in this directory and at https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/man/man1/install.html.

Documentation

See https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/man/ for more documentation. (Documentation is also in this tree, but you need to run a successful install first. After that, "9 man 1 intro".)

Intro(1) contains a list of man pages that describe new features or differences from Plan 9.
