A modern, cross-platform, and open-source rewrite of the essential GNU core utilities written in Rust, aiming for improved safety and performance across various operating systems including Linux, macOS, and Windows.
This project aims to reimplement the standard set of GNU core utilities in Rust, providing a portable and performant alternative that can run natively on multiple operating systems, unlike the traditional C implementation which is primarily Unix-focused.
Traditional GNU core utilities often have portability limitations and are written in C, which can introduce potential memory safety issues. This project addresses these challenges by leveraging Rust's strong safety guarantees and inherent cross-platform capabilities to build a more robust and versatile set of command-line tools.
Functionality equivalent to common GNU utilities like 'ls', 'cp', 'mv', 'cat', etc., available on Linux, macOS, Windows, and other platforms.
Built with Rust's memory safety guarantees, reducing risks of common vulnerabilities, while striving for performance comparable to or exceeding the original utilities.
Each utility is implemented as a separate crate (module), allowing users to build or use only the specific tools they need.
The uutils core utilities can be used in any scenario requiring standard command-line tools, offering particular advantages in environments with mixed operating systems or stringent safety requirements:
Using uutils in build scripts or automation workflows that need to execute reliably on Linux, macOS, and Windows without platform-specific command variations.
Ensures consistent build and deployment processes across diverse development and CI/CD environments, reducing errors and configuration overhead.
Administrators managing a heterogeneous infrastructure can use a single, familiar set of commands regardless of whether they are on a Linux server, a Windows workstation, or a macOS machine.
Simplifies system management tasks, reduces the need to remember OS-specific command syntaxes, and improves administrative efficiency.
Deploying a lightweight yet capable set of essential command-line utilities on resource-constrained systems or custom environments.
Provides necessary system tools with a potentially smaller footprint and enhanced reliability due to Rust's architecture and safety features.
