Hello Warpslide!

I was trying to implement the srifreq file included with binkd today. It worked ok for regular filenames but aliases/magicnames wouldn't work, at least on Ubuntu 22.04.3.
Well done! I had the same problem, and actually also did that a couple of years ago. =)

Along with the array stuff, I added some more comments, logging and safeguards, as well as a short snippet which fetches an ifcico alias reqmap, which would be the file equivalent of the "hardcoded" alias list.
Speaking of this, I found a utility called mfreq on the net, however it is not a bash script:
