uutils coreutils is a cross-platform reimplementation of the GNU coreutils in Rust. While all programs have been implemented, some options might be missing or different behavior might be experienced.
To install it:
cargo install coreutils
~/.cargo/bin/coreutilsuutils aims to be a drop-in replacement for the GNU utils. Differences with GNU are treated as bugs.
uutils aims to work on as many platforms as possible, to be able to use the same utils on Linux, Mac, Windows and other platforms. This ensures, for example, that scripts can be easily transferred between platforms.
uutils has both user and developer documentation available:
Both can also be generated locally, the instructions for that can be found in the coreutils docs repository.
cargo, rustc)uutils follows Rust’s release channels and is tested against stable, beta and nightly. The current Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is 1.79.0.
There are currently two methods to build the uutils binaries: either Cargo or GNU Make.
Building the full package, including all documentation, requires both Cargo and Gnu Make on a Unix platform.
For either method, we first need to fetch the repository:
git clone https://github.com/uutils/coreutils
cd coreutilsBuilding uutils using Cargo is easy because the process is the same as for every other Rust program:
cargo build --releaseFor more information click here.
