    These are ports of Plan 9's
    UTF-8, formatted print, buffered I/O, and regular expression
    libraries, along with mk, a simple replacement for make.

        On supported systems, extract and make install.
        The default installation target is /usr/local.  To install elsewhere,
        make PREFIX=/usr/elsewhere install.
        
        On unsupported systems, you will need to create
        Make.YourOS-YourArch.
        See the existing ones for examples.  If you write one for a new system,
        please send it to us for inclusion in the tar files. |  
      libbio|  |  |  |  | Libfmt is a port of Plan 9's formatted print library.
        As a base it provides all the syntax of ANSI C's printf but adds
        the ability for client programs to install new print verbs.
        One such print verb (installed by default) is %r, which prints
        the system error string.
        Instead of perror("foo"), you can write
        fprint(2, "foo: %r\n");.
        This is especially nice when you write verbs to format the
        data structures used by your particular programs.
        Needs libutf.

      libregexp9|  |  |  |  | Libbio is a port of Plan 9's buffered I/O library.
        It provides most of the same functionality as stdio or sfio,
        but with a simpler interface and smaller footprint.
        Needs libutf and libfmt.

      mk|  |  |  |  | Libregexp9 is a port of Plan 9's Unicode-capable regular expression library.
        It is small and simple and provides the traditional extended regular
        expressions (without modern complications like
        {} and various \x character classes).
        It supports Unicode via wide character or UTF-8 encoding.
        Needs libutf and libfmt.
