Go coreutils

forthebadge forthebadge

This is a port of GNU's coreutils (http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/) that aims to be a drop-in, cross-platform replacement.

It's currently under development.

Because it imports from github.com/EricLagergren/go-gnulib, and I'm constantly refactoring, parts could break from day-to-day.

I'd recommend running go get -u ... before you file a bug report!

Pull requests are more than welcome.

Also, see https://www.github.com/EricLagergren/go-gnulib for a similar project that this project depends on.

  • chown note: Currently refactoring from the ground-up.

Side notes:

  • Unix should include OS X unless otherwise specified.
  • Gofmt means it needs its styling changes (e.g. variable names, formatting, etc.)
  • Idiomatic means it needs to be changed to more idiomatic Go
  • Windows coverage will increase when I get a Windows laptop
Information:
Performance:

Obviously there's some things Go can do better (parallelism and concurrency), but for the most part these tools should have nearly the same speed, with Go being slightly slower.

Behavior:

These utilities should be nearly identical to GNU's coreutils.

Since parsing the output of shell commands isn't uncommon (even if it is bad behavior), most of the commands should have output that is nearly identical to the original GNU commands.

Do note that sometimes the results could differ a little for select commands.

For example, GNU's wc utility relies on the current locale to determine whether it should parse multi-byte characters or not.

The Go version, on the other hand, uses the unicode/utf8 package which natively detects multi-byte sequences. The trade-off is this: the Go version is technically more correct, while the C version is faster.

Our implementation of xxd is actually much faster than the native xxd implementation found on most *nix machines -- try it out!
