“Seek not to walk the path of the masters; seek what they sought.”

The Bonsai core utilities are the result of the careful examination of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
current state of POSIX and Unix utilies. The Unix Philosophy, “do one thing and
|
|
|
|
|
|
do it well” is its core but these tools do not cling to the names of the past.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The era of the original Unix tools has been long and fruitful, but they have
|
|
|
|
|
|
their flaws. The new, non-POSIX era of this project started with frustration
|
|
|
|
|
|
with the way certain tools work and how other projects that extend POSIX don’t
|
|
|
|
|
|
make anything better.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This project will not follow in the footsteps of GNU; extensions of POSIX will
|
|
|
|
|
|
not be found here. GNU extensions are a gateway to the misuse of the shell. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bonsai core utilities will intentionally discourage use of the shell for
|
|
|
|
|
|
purposes beyond its scope.

|
|
|
|
The coreutils require a POSIX-compliant environment to compile, including a C

|
|
|
|
compiler and preprocessor (cc(1) and cpp(1) by default), an edition 2023 Rust
|
|
|
|
|
|
compiler (rustc(1) by default), bindgen(1), and a POSIX-compliant make(1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
utility.
