The support for lower case hexa digits was introduced to be compatible with the plan9 dc as described in the man page, but this was not actually implemented because it creates many problems with almost everything (and specially with bc) and the man page was not updated.
sbase - suckless unix tools
===========================
sbase is a collection of unix tools that are inherently portable across
UNIX and UNIX-like systems.
The complement of sbase is ubase[1] which is Linux-specific and provides
all the non-portable tools. Together they are intended to form a base
system similar to busybox but much smaller and suckless.
Building
--------
To build sbase, simply type make. You may have to fiddle with config.mk
depending on your system.
You can also build sbase-box, which generates a single binary containing
all the required tools. You can then symlink the individual tools to
sbase-box or run: make sbase-box-install
To run the tools for sbase-box directly use: sbase-box cmd [args]
Ideally you will want to statically link sbase. If you are on Linux we
recommend using musl-libc[2].
Portability
-----------
sbase has been compiled on a variety of different operating systems,
including Linux, *BSD, OSX, Haiku, Solaris, SCO OpenServer and others.
Various combinations of operating systems and architectures have also
been built.
You can build sbase with gcc, clang, tcc, nwcc and pcc.
Status
------
The following tools are implemented:
'#' -> UTF-8 support, '=' -> Implicit UTF-8 support, '*' -> Finished,
'|' -> Audited, 'o' -> POSIX 2013 compliant, 'x' -> Non-POSIX,
'0' -> NUL handling, '()' -> Petty flag
