The three examples are better done using sh(1) itself these days.
The example
expr -- "$a" : ".*"
is incorrect in the general case, as "$a" may be an operator.

Revert to using the .Tn POSIX and .Tn ANSI instead of \*[Px] and \*[Ai]
strings; using these strings is unsafe in troff mode, as they include a
change in a font size.

whether a named utility should behave in FreeBSD 4.x-compatible mode
or in a standard mode (default standard). The configuration is done
malloc(3)-style, with either an environment variable or a symlink.
Update expr(1) to use this new interface.
is required to be oblivious to overflow and to use the data type `long'.
(Division by zero is undefined in ISO C so it's still OK to check for it
here.) Add a new `-e' flag to get the old, more useful behavior.
- expr must conform to the Utility Syntax Guidelines, so use
getopt() to eat the (non-existent) options.
- Use the Standard type intmax_t for arithmetic.
- If an argument cannot be *completely* converted to an integer, then
it is a string.
Additionally make some style cleanups near the modified lines. This
utility is still not completely style-compliant.
o Old-style K&R declarations have been converted to new C89 style
o register has been removed
o prototype for main() has been removed (gcc3 makes it an error)
o int main(int argc, char *argv[]) is the preferred main definition.
o Attempt to not break style(9) conformance for declarations more than
they already are.
o gc some #ifdef sun ... #endif code
Approved by: arch@, new style(9)
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
comparisions have been made as string comparisions, even in cases
where both operands clearly qualified as integers.
The fix is to make the parser properly analyzing whether an operand is
a valid integer or not.
/usr/src/bin. Note that some patches are still needed in that directory.
I (Joerg) finished most of Philippe's cleanup. /bin/sh will still
need *allot* of work, however.
