plbcom

Common code, utilities, and command files used in PLB website. A submodule to plbweb and plbdb, it includes scripts for downloading and building required tools as common code and definitions used by both projects.

As of this writing (11 Oct 24), all scripts in bin/sh and code/sh adhere to POSIX IEEE Std 1003.1 and have been tested under bash, dash, and zsh. They cannot be sourced (.) in the current shell as they rely on $0 to be the running script path and call other scripts relative to it. $0 changes under bash and dash to be the shell exe.
