uutils coreutils
uutils is an attempt at writing universal (as in cross-platform) CLI utils in Rust. This repo is to aggregate the GNU coreutils rewrites.
Why?
Many GNU, Linux and other utils are pretty awesome, and obviously some effort has been spent in the past to port them to Windows. However, those projects are either old, abandoned, hosted on CVS, written in platform-specific C, etc.
Rust provides a good, platform-agnostic way of writing systems utils that are easy to compile anywhere, and this is as good a way as any to try and learn it.
Build Instructions
To simply build all available utilities:
make
(on Windows use MinGW/MSYS or Cygwin make and make sure you have rustc in PATH)
To build all but a few of the available utilities:
make SKIP_UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2'
To build only a few of the available utilities:
make UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2'
Installation Instructions
To install all available utilities:
make install
To install all but a few of the available utilities:
make SKIP_UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' install
To install only a few of the available utilities:
make UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' install
To install every program with a prefix (e.g. uu-echo uu-cat):
make PROG_PREFIX=PREFIX_GOES_HERE install
To install the multicall binary:
make MULTICALL=y install
Set install parent directory (default value is /usr/local):
make PREFIX=/my/path install
Uninstallation Instructions
To uninstall all utilities:
make uninstall
To uninstall every program with a set prefix:
make PROG_PREFIX=PREFIX_GOES_HERE uninstall
To uninstall the multicall binary:
make MULTICALL=y uninstall
To uninstall from a custom parent directory:
make PREFIX=/my/path uninstall
Test Instructions
To simply test all available utilities:
make test
To test all but a few of the available utilities:
make SKIP_UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' test
To test only a few of the available utilities:
make UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' test
To include tests for unimplemented behavior:
make UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' SPEC=y test
Run busybox tests
This testing functionality is only available on *nix operating systems
To run busybox's tests for all utilities for which busybox has tests
make busytest
To run busybox's tests for a few of the available utilities
make UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' busytest
To pass an argument like "-v" to the busybox test runtime
make UTILS='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' RUNTEST_ARGS='-v' busytest
