FAQ

Here are questions someone could ask. Read it! It could answer some of your questions.

Q: Why another coreutils? There's already GNU, Busybox, OpenBSD's, and some more.

A: Most coreutils are either non-POSIX or use non-portable functions not specified by POSIX. The fases project separates POSIX and non-POSIX utilities while others do not. Some have also quite complex code, making it harder to study the code.

[We're not trying to trash other coreutils. A lot of them (Busybox, OpenBSD, ...) are actually really good]

Q: Is fases going to work on ?

A: Well, it depends on the system itself. If your system implements POSIX functions in its libc, then it'll work. Utilities are currently tested on

  • OpenBSD ;

  • FreeBSD ;

  • OS X/Mac OS X/MacOS (just a little) ;

  • Artix Linux and Arch Linux ;

  • Alpine Linux.

No. fases will never work on Microsoft Windows.

More coming soon.
