The command is part of the X/Open Portability Guide since issue 2 of 1987. It was inherited into the first version of POSIX and the Single Unix Specification. It first appeared in PWB UNIX. The version in GNU coreutils was written by Stuart Kemp and David MacKenzie. The command is available for Windows via UnxUtils.
