+####  * Note: New BSD sed supports using -r instead of -E for compatibility with gnu sed
+####    However, older, like FreeBSD 7.x, does not have -r so using SED_RX='-E' for this.
+####  * Gnu grep options can be used if the function component is only run in linux
+####    These are the options that bsd grep does not support that inxi uses: -m <number> -o 
+####    so make sure if you use those to have them in gnu/linux only sections.
+####    It appears that freebsd uses gnu grep but openbsd uses bsd grep, however.
+####  * BSD ps does not support --without-headers option, and also does not support --sort <option>
+####    Tests show that -m fails to sort memory as expected, but -r does sort cpu percentage.
