util-linux

This projects aims at doing the same as https://github.com/uutils/coreutils for util-linux.

We are rewriting these tools in Rust as drop-in replacements.

First, reimplement the most important tools from util-linux:

System Information

  • dmesg: Displays kernel messages.
  • lscpu: Shows CPU architecture information. Started
  • lsipc: Lists IPC facilities.
  • lslocks: Lists system locks.
  • lsmem: Lists memory ranges and status.
  • lsns: Lists namespaces.

Hardware Management

  • chcpu: Manages CPU state.
  • rtcwake: Manages system sleep states.
  • zramctl: Manages zram devices.
  • wdctl: Shows watchdog status.
  • chmem: Manages kernel memory usage.

Filesystem Tools

  • findmnt: Lists mounted filesystems.
  • mountpoint: Checks if a directory is a mountpoint. Started
  • fsck: Checks and repairs filesystems.
  • fsfreeze: Freezes/unfreezes filesystems.
  • fstrim: Discards unused blocks on filesystems.
  • wipefs: Wipes filesystem signatures.

Partition Management

  • blkdiscard: Discards sectors on a device.
  • blkid: Identifies block device attributes.
  • blkzone: Manages zoned block device parameters.
  • blockdev: Performs block device operations.
  • mkswap: Sets up swap space.
  • swaplabel: Manages swap space labels.
  • addpart: Adds a partition.
  • delpart: Deletes a partition.
  • partx: Manages partition entries.
  • resizepart: Resizes a partition.

Process and Resource Management

  • runuser: Runs a shell with different user/group IDs.
  • sulogin: Provides single-user mode login.
  • chrt: Manages real-time process attributes.
  • ionice: Sets process I/O scheduling class/priority.
  • kill: Sends signals to processes.
  • renice: Alters process priority.
  • prlimit: Sets/gets process resource limits.
  • taskset: Sets/gets process CPU affinity.
  • uclampset: Manages process utilization clamping.

User and Session Management

  • su: Changes user ID or becomes superuser.
  • agetty: Manages TTYs for login prompts.
  • ctrlaltdel: Configures Ctrl-Alt-Del action.
  • pivot_root: Changes the root filesystem.
  • switch_root: Switches to a different root filesystem.
  • last: Lists last logged-in users.
  • lslogins: Displays user information.
  • mesg: Controls write access to terminal.
  • setsid: Runs a program in a new session.
  • setterm: Sets terminal attributes.
  • getty: Manages virtual console login prompts.

Networking and IPC

  • ipcmk: Creates IPC resources.
  • ipcrm: Removes IPC resources.
  • ipcs: Shows IPC facilities status.
  • nsenter: Enters different namespaces.

Utility Tools

  • lsblk: Lists block devices.
  • fallocate: Preallocates file space.
  • flock: Manages file locks.
  • getopt: Parses command options.
  • hardlink: Creates hard links.
  • mcookie: Generates random numbers.
  • namei: Follows a pathname to its endpoint.
  • rename.ul: Renames files.
  • rev: Reverses lines in a file.
  • setarch: Sets architecture emulation.
  • setpriv: Runs a program with different privileges.
  • unshare: Runs a program with unshared namespaces.
  • utmpdump: Dumps UTMP/WTMP files.
  • whereis: Locates binaries, sources, and manuals.
  • ldattach: Attaches line discipline to a serial line.
  • readprofile: Reads kernel profiling info.
  • i386, linux32, linux64, x86_64: Set personality flags for execution environment.
