The Austin Group is debating whether to sponsor a proposal to add sponge(1) to a future edition of POSIX:
https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1927 I note that at present, busybox does NOT have a sponge applet; but it seems like the sort of applet that could be easily added if someone were to contribute it. Many GNU/Linux systems currently have sponge installed from the `moreutils` project, if that were to serve as a starting point for deciding which features to match. Does anyone on this list have any comments on why it might be a good or a bad idea for POSIX to standardize sponge? Similarly, if busybox were to implement sponge, that would make it a bit easier for POSIX folks to point to multiple implementations as part of the standardization process. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
