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