@ -19624,6 +19624,12 @@ On NetBSD, @command{join -a 1 file1 file2} mistakenly behaves like
@command{join -a 1 -a 2 1 file1 file2}, resulting in a usage warning;
the workaround is to use @command{join -a1 file1 file2} instead.
On platforms with the BusyBox tools, the @command{join} command is
entirely missing. As a workaround, you can simulate special cases of the
@command{join} command using an @command{awk} script. For an example,
see @url{https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-gnulib/2021-04/msg00054.html}.
