@GrayJack is this something I can pick up? If yes, then any suggestions/pointers regarding this issue?

[GrayJack]

Hey, yes, you can pick it up!

My only suggestions are to read the CONTRIBUTING file and read the standard before anything. This is more of a tracking issue, so no need to feel forced to implement all options and flags listed on the issue text in one go.

And that list of required options/flags are only required to end the POSIX requirements, any extensions (behavior, flags and options not in the standard) are welcome as well.

Have fun implementing it!! 🎉
