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

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 dont
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.

See docs/ for more on the specific utilities currently implemented.
