Use `extern` where appropriate so that we can remove `-fcommon` on macOS and others. On macOS, `-fcommon` generates a number of linker warnings. I've tested building on macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and illumos. I am not in a position to test on AIX or other more esoteric platforms, however.
This is a port of many Plan 9 libraries and programs to Unix.
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.
