lang/pnut 0.0.20240724 NetBSD

Pnut compiles a reasonably large subset of C99 to human-readable POSIX shell scripts. It can be used to generate portable shell scripts without having to write shell.

Its main uses are:

• As a transpiler to write portable shell scripts in C
• As a way to bootstrap a compiler written in C with an executable version that is still human readable

Main features:

• No new language to learn -- C code in, shell code out
• The human-readable shell script is easy to read and understand.
• A runtime library including file I/O and dynamic memory allocations
• A preprocessor
• Integrates easily with existing shell scripts
