bin: Remove ancient SCCS tags.

Remove ancient SCCS tags from the tree, automated scripting, with two
minor fixup to keep things compiling. All the common forms in the tree
were removed with a perl script.

Remove $FreeBSD$: one-line nroff pattern

Remove /^\.\\"\s*\$FreeBSD\$$\n/


# fbbd9655 28-Feb-2017 Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org>

Renumber copyright clause 4

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

# 5c10b071 02-Oct-2016 Sevan Janiyan <sevan@FreeBSD.org>

In v3 UNIX, the kill utility is documented in category 8, not 1.
Add a note of it.

# 0a62a9ca 21-Dec-2010 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Add kill builtin.

This allows specifying a %job (which is equivalent to the corresponding
process group).

Additionally, it improves reliability of kill from sh in high-load
situations and ensures "kill" finds the correct utility regardless of PATH,
as required by POSIX (unless the undocumented %builtin mechanism is used).

Side effect: fatal errors (any error other than kill(2) failure) now return
exit status 2 instead of 1. (This is consistent with other sh builtins, but
not in NetBSD.)

Code size increases about 1K on i386.

# fe0506d7 09-Mar-2010 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.

Markup nits: use the Ar macro when describing the -signal_name and
-signal_number options, and for referring to the "pid" argument.

Correct history (again): V3 had a kill command, only it was in section 8,
not 1.


# e3623a80 03-Jun-2002 Tim J. Robbins <tjr@FreeBSD.org>

Correct History section: kill(1) appeared in V4, not V6.

mdoc(7) police: use the new features of the Nm macro.


# e6d3cf26 14-Sep-1999 Sheldon Hearn <sheldonh@FreeBSD.org>

Correct some hard sentence breaks. Only those surrounding the previous
commit and those which cause ugly nroff output have been fixed, since
the purpose of the style guideline which they contravene is to reduce
the sizes of deltas.

# c644db6a 08-Sep-1999 Sheldon Hearn <sheldonh@FreeBSD.org>

Improve shell documentation:

* Consistently misspell built-in as builtin.

* Add a builtin(1) manpage and create builtin(1) MLINKS for all shell
builtin commands for which no standalone utility exists. These MLINKS
replace those that were created for csh(1).

* Add appropriate xrefs for builtin(1) to the csh(1) and sh(1) manpages,
as well as to the manpages of standalone utilities which are supported
as shell builtin commands in at least one of the shells. In such
manpages, explain that similar functionality may be provided as a
shell builtin command.

* Improve sh(1)'s description of the cd builtin command. Csh(1) already
describes it adequately. Replace the cd(1) manpage with a builtin(1)
MLINKS link.

* Clean up some mdoc problems: use Xr instead of literal "foo(n)"; use
Ic instead of Xr for shell builtin commands.

* Undo English contractions.
