For these we can add a specification based on the man pages available
for these commands on Linux systems. We should use the upstream
version (ie not the distro specific version which is sometimes
patched) where possible.

For both of the above lists the man page/specification found needs to
be checked against what is actually implemented on various Linux
systems. In many cases extra/different behaviour is supported than
what is in the referenced specification.

There are now at least a couple of people working on working through
the fairly large list of included commands. If you and other people
are interested in also helping out I'll be happy to help coordinate
things a bit so we don't end up duplicating effort on the same
commands.

Regards,

Chris.
