“Seek not to walk the path of the masters; seek what they sought.”
|
||||
– Matsuo Basho
|
||||
overgrown - trinity's harakit workshop
|
||||
|
||||
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:
|
||||
simple build, no dependencies except rust
|
||||
|
||||
# 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
