Hello EveryOne😊🙏🏽,

currently am exploring the default Command Lines of FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE-p2


From POSIX XCU standard, there is 160 commands

List of POSIX commands - Wikipedia

Commands in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin : 976 Commands
root@m:/home/m # ls /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin | wc -l
976
root@m:/home/m #

pkg based 3rd party commands are dependeds upon user needs.

so 976 commands is total commands in default FreeBSD Base System?

there is /rescue commands - am not counted

Nice to see removal of GPLinBase, Great work.

Also among that commands,

POSIX standard - 134
Data Storage & File System - zfs, zpool, ...
Virtualization - bhyve, jail, ...
Networking - ifconfig, dhclient, ping, ...
Programming - cc, ...
Scripting - sh, csh, tcsh,
...

have any one tried to categorize those default commands ?

Thanks a lot in Advance😊🙏🏽👍🏽
 
I picked off the top two missing commands from your posix script - 'admin' and 'cflow'. cflow is available as a port. Per wikipedia, 'admin' is to "Create and administer SCCS files". This predates rcs, cvs, svn and git. I'd consider it very obsolete. There are likely more obsolete commands further down in your list.

This is a bit like shopping for a new car. Do you really want a cigarette lighter plug or a USB port?

Yes, there is some installable POSIX XCU Optional, ports in FreeBSD14

cflow
cxref
uucp, uustat, uux from freebsd-uucp

FreshPorts -- net/freebsd-uucp: FreeBSD-modified Taylor UUCP (unix-to-unix copy program)

This is a port of the Taylor UUCP Unix-to-Unix Copy Program suite of utilities. This source was formerly a part of the FreeBSD base system, and this package is based on the final version of that source code, so it includes all previous FreeBSD customizations.

Source Code Control System : Optional, but not in FreeBSD14 except "what"

sccs
admin
val
delta
get
sact
unget
rmdel
prs
what

Batch Processing | Services : Obsolescent, not in FreeBSD14

qalter
qdel
qhold
qmove
qmsg
qrerun
qrls
qselect
qsig
qstat
