listed, it is assumed that any Posix鈥恈ompliant implementation will
work.
-### `date`
-
-This is a Posix utility, but 鉀╋笍馃摪聽涔︾ぞ currently depends on
- unspecified behaviour.
-When the G路N路U version of `stat` is being used, then the G路N路U version
- of `date` is also expected.
-
### `file`
This is a Posix utility, but 鉀╋笍馃摪聽涔︾ぞ currently depends on
installed by default in many distributions.
Only `ustar` format support is required.
-### `stat`
-
-This is not a Posix utility, and nor is it particularly portable.
-To get around incompatibilities, 鉀╋笍馃摪聽涔︾ぞ attempts to recognize G路N路U
- `stat` by searching for the string `GNU` when invoked with the
- `--version` option, and falls back to B路S路D behaviour otherwise.
-
### `uudecode` and `uuencode`
These are Posix utilities, but not included in the Linux Standard Base
- `rm`
- `sed`
- `sleep`
-- `stat` (BSD *or* GNU)
- `test`
- `touch`
- `tr`
- **`SRCTIME`:**
The time at which the source file was last modified.
+ Due to limitations in Posix, this time will only have minute
+ precision if the file was modified in the last six months, and will
+ only have day precision if the file is older.
+ Users should not expect this value to be particularly stable.
- **`THISREV`:**
The value of the `THISREV` variable (if present).
