s6-portable-utils

+ +

What is it ?

+ +

+ s6-portable-utils is a set of tiny general Unix utilities, often +performing well-known tasks such as cut and grep, +but optimized for simplicity and small size. They were designed +for embedded systems and other constrained environments, but they +work everywhere. +

+ +

+ Other set of small utilities are usually system-specific; for +instance, the (otherwise excellent) +BusyBox project only works on Linux. +

+ +

+ Some of s6-portable-utils' programs are a conformant implementation +of a POSIX utility as determined by the +Single +Unix Specification, version 4; the relevant documentation pages mentions +this. +However, none of the s6-portable-utils programs supports internationalization. +

+ +

+It is now an explicit non-goal of s6-portable-utils to duplicate the work of +existing projects that aim to provide a lightweight implementation of +standard commands. + No more rewriting of standard commands will occur in s6-portable-utils; +the package is now used to host specific utilities such as +s6-uniquename. +

+ +
