uutils coreutils [](https://travis-ci.org/uutils/coreutils)
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
uutils is an attempt at writing universal (as in cross-platform) CLI
|
|
utils in [Rust](http://rust-lang.org). This repo is to aggregate the GNU
|
|
coreutils rewrites.
|
|
|
|
Why?
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Many GNU, Linux and other utils are pretty awesome, and obviously
|
|
[some](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net) [effort](http://unxutils.sourceforge.net)
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build all but a few of the available utilities:
|
|
```
|
|
make DONT_BUILD='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build only a few of the available utilities:
|
|
```
|
|
make BUILD='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build the multicall binary (_i.e._ BusyBox-like binary):
|
|
```
|
|
make MULTICALL=1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Installation Instructions
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
To install all available utilities:
|
|
```
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To install all but a few of the available utilities:
|
|
```
|
|
make DONT_INSTALL='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To install only a few of the available utilities:
|
|
```
|
|
make INSTALL='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To install the multicall binary:
|
|
```
|
|
make MULTICALL=1 install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To install every program (other than the multicall binary) with a prefix:
|
|
```
|
|
make PROG_PREFIX=PREFIX_GOES_HERE install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Uninstallation Instructions
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
To uninstall all utilities:
|
|
```
|
|
make uninstall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To uninstall the multicall binary:
|
|
```
|
|
make MULTICALL=1 uninstall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To uninstall every program (other than the multicall binary) with a set prefix:
|
|
```
|
|
make PROG_PREFIX=PREFIX_GOES_HERE uninstall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Test Instructions
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
To simply test all available utilities:
|
|
```
|
|
make test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To test all but a few of the available utilities:
|
|
```
|
|
make DONT_TEST='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To test only a few of the available utilities:
|
|
```
|
|
make TEST='UTILITY_1 UTILITY_2' test
|
|
```

Contribute
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Contributions are very welcome, and should target Rust's master branch until
|
|
Rust 1.0 is released. You may *claim* an item on the to-do list by following
|
|
these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Open an issue named "Implement [the utility of your choice]", e.g. "Implement ls"
|
|
2. State that you are working on this utility.
|
|
3. Develop the utility.
|
|
4. Submit a pull request and close the issue. Your pull request should include deleting the utility from the to-do list on this README.
|
|
|
|
The steps above imply that, before starting to work on a utility, you should search the issues to make sure no one else is working on it.
