Here's a patch for musl, based on the NetBSD code. I think it would be nice to avoid pulling in additional copyrights for such trivial functions.. It's not that they're incompatible (license seems okay), just that it makes for a lot more copyright status to document and track. In my opinion, effort would be better spent just reading the man pages and writing one- to five-line functions that do the same thing. Rich
