-overgrown - trinity's harakit workshop
+“Seek not to walk the path of the masters; seek what they sought.”
+– Matsuo Basho
 
-simple build, no dependencies except rust
+The Bonsai harakit utilities are a replacement for standard POSIX utilities
+which aim to fill its niche while expanding on their capabilities. These new
+tools are the result of the careful examination of the current state of POSIX
+and Unix utilies. The Unix Philosophy of “do one thing and do it well” are their
+core but they avoid clinging to the past.
+
+The era of the original Unix tools has been long and fruitful, but they have
+their flaws. This project originated from frustrations 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
+harakit utilities will intentionally discourage use of the shell for purposes
+beyond its scope.
+
+See docs/ for more on the specific utilities currently implemented.
+
+Building
+
+Harakit utilities 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.
+
+To build and install:
 
-# pkg_add rust rust-bindgen
 $ make
+$ make PREFIX="/your/preferred/location" install
+
+To build with a different compiler than the default:
+
+$ make CC=clang
+$ make RUSTC=gccrs
+
+To test the utilities:
+
+$ make test
+
+To remove all build and distributable files:
+
+$ make clean

-.TH SIMEXEC 1 2024-07-23 "Harakit-overgrown X.X.X"
-.SH NAME
-simexec \(en execute a program with argv
-.\"
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-
-simexec
-.B binary argv...
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Execute a binary with a certain argv.
-.SH CAVEATS
-
-Non-binary programs cannot be executed on their own. The PATH environment
-variable is not used and a valid pathname (relative or absolute) must be
-specified.
-
-.BR simexec (1)
-requires caution.
-.B argv
-are not just the operands for the binary but in fact the direct
-.B argv
-it will receive in runtime;
-the first argv entry is the program\(cqs name, and omitting this, though valid
-use of
-.BR simexec (1),
-can break false assumptions made by programmers.
-for example, the
-.BR true (1)
-implementation in the GNU coreutils project suffers a segmentation fault it is
-given no argv[0].
-
-While POSIX.1-2017 doesn't mandate there being an argv[0] per se, a Strictly
-Conforming POSIX Application must pass an argv[0]. It has also been said that
-those who do not pass an argv[0] are mean and nasty and smell of elderberries.
-
-.BR simexec (1)
-directly uses the
-.BR execv (3p)
-library function. It cannot execute shell scripts intelligently (via shebang).
-It is inadviseable to use
-.BR simexec (1)
-to simply execute a program when other methods would suffice.
-.\"
-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-
-.BR simexec (1)
-exits with the returned value of
-.BR execv (3p),
-which will be 255 if an error occurs in execution, such as the binary not being
-found.
-This is indistinguishable from the executed binary exiting with the same
-status.
-
-Simexec will print a error message and return the proper
-.BR sysexits.h (3)
-value if invoked in an invalid manner.
