As stated in the man page, this is equivalent to use "%a, %d %b %Y %T %z"
as the output format while LC_TIME is set to the "C" locale.
This is compatible with date(1) from the GNU core utilities.
From the original OpenBSD commit message:
restore the traditional behavior of -f implying -a; apparently Keith
Bostic forgot to restore it when the -f flag was put back on 2nd of
September 1989, after being removed on 16th of August as a
consequence of issues getting it working over NFS, so deviation from
traditional UNIX behavior in all BSDs looks like an historical
accident; as a side effect, this change accommodates behavior of
this option to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'').

implementation), schwarze@ (who provided a detailed tracking of
historical facts) and millert@

borrowed where syntax status=noxfer means no transfer statistics
and status=none means no status information at all.
This feature is useful because the statistics information can
sometimes be annoying, and redirecting stderr to /dev/null would
mean error messages also gets silenced.

all the SUBDIR entries in parallel, instead of serially. Apply this
option to a selected number of Makefiles, which can greatly speed up the
build on multi-core machines, when using make -j.
This can be extended to more Makefiles later on, whenever they are
verified to work correctly with parallel building.
I tested this on a 24-core machine, with make -j48 buildworld (N = 6):
before stddev after stddev
======= ====== ======= ======
real time 1741.1 16.5 959.8 2.7
user time 12468.7 16.4 14393.0 16.8
sys time 1825.0 54.8 2110.6 22.8
(user+sys)/real 8.2 17.1
E.g. the build was approximately 45% faster in real time. On machines
with less cores, or with lower -j settings, the speedup will not be as
impressive. But at least you can now almost max out a machine with
buildworld!

Only store exit status for a process if that process has not terminated yet.
Test (slow):
exit 7 & p1=$!; until exit 8 & p2=$!; [ "$p1" = "$p2" ]; do wait "$p2";
done; sleep 0.1; wait %1; echo $?
should write "7".
Interestingly, the pkill tool lives in bin, not usr.bin. Haven't bothered
to check if this is because the tool moved or because the tests were
originally added in the wrong place.
When killing a %job started without job control, kill all processes in it.
As with process groups and zombies, if any process in the job can be killed
or has already terminated, the command is successful.
This also fixes occasional failures of the builtins/kill1.0 test.
Change {atf,plain,tap}.test.mk to be internal implementation details of
bsd.test.mk. Makefiles that build tests should now only include bsd.test.mk
and declaratively specify what they want to build, without worrying about
the internal implementation of the mk files.
The reason for this change is to permit building test programs of different
interfaces from a single directory, which is something I had a need for
while porting tests over from src/tools/regression/.
Additionally, this change makes it possible to perform some other requested
changes to bsd.test.mk in an easier manner. Coming soon.
If a job has terminated but is still known, silently do nothing when using
the kill builtin with the job specifier. Formerly, the shell called kill()
with the process group ID that might have been reused.
Redo expari() like evalvar(). This makes the logic more understandable and
avoids possible problems if arithmetic expansion occurs if CTLESC characters
are not generated (looking backwards for CTLARI is not generally possible in
that case but the old code tried anyway).
This adds an extra argstr() recursion.
If an alias's value ends with a space or tab, the next word is also
checked for aliases.
This is a POSIX feature. It is useful with utilities like command and
nohup (alias them to themselves followed by a space).
Add the space to avoid alias recursion when the alias is expanded, not when
it is added.
As a result, displaying an alias via command -v, command -V or type no
longer erroneously appends a space. Adjust the tests so they now require
this bug to be absent.
The SIGWINCH handler triggers breakage in libedit which is hard to fix; see
PR bin/169773.
Also, window size changes while a program is in foreground (and it rather
than sh will receive SIGWINCH) will now be picked up automatically.
Downside: it is now certain that a resize is only processed after pressing
<Enter>. If libedit is fixed, sh will most likely have to be changed also.

Redo r260506 by using the new TEST_METADATA functionality of bsd.test.mk
to mark the sh(1) and test(1) tests as not supporting root. This is to
get rid of hand-crafted Kyuafiles for these very simple cases.

Redo r260586 by using the new functionality in tap.test.mk to transparently
support perl-based test programs.
As a side-effect, we get rid of an explicit path to /usr/bin/perl by
replacing it with /usr/local/bin/perl (or as defined in tap.test.mk).
This also fixes the name of the legacy_test source file because this should
have always been legacy_test.pl and not legacy_test.sh. My mistake when
originally moving the code around without realizing that this was a perl
script.

The effect of this is that the test program is marked as skipped when perl
is missing, instead of marking it as broken due to an execution failure.

One of the tests for test(1) fails and some of the tests for sh(1) are
silently bypassed when running as root.
To fix these tests and ensure they all run, mark the test programs for
sh(1) and test(1) as requiring an unprivileged user. (This should and
will be the default in Kyua but isn't yet.)

preadbuffer() maintained a flag whether there was any non-whitespace
character. This flag is only useful when history is enabled (in that case,
lines containing only whitespace are not added to history). Instead, check
using strspn() when history is enabled.
There is an approximate 2% speedup when running
sh -c '. /etc/rc.subr; . /etc/defaults/rc.conf; source_rc_confs'
with hot cache.
This change is a proof of concept on how to easily integrate existing
tests from the tools/regression/ hierarchy into the /usr/tests/ test
suite and on how to adapt them to the new layout for src.
To achieve these goals, this change:
- Moves tests from tools/regression/bin/<tool>/ to bin/<tool>/tests/.
- Renames the previous regress.sh files to legacy_test.sh.
- Adds Makefiles to build and install the tests and all their supporting
data files into /usr/tests/bin/.
- Plugs the legacy_test test programs into the test suite using the new
TAP backend for Kyua (appearing in 0.8) so that the code of the test
programs does not have to change.
- Registers the new directories in the BSD.test.dist mtree file.
