fenutils - Fenix Core Utilities
===============================
fenutils is a collection of utilities used in Fenix. Many of these utilities
are defined by POSIX and are portable across UNIX and UNIX-like systems. Many
are also capable of functioning as a drop-in replacement for the version that
may be found on such a system, assuming non-POSIX functionality is not required.
Currently, the following tools are completed, working, and POSIX-compliant:
asa
basename
cat
cksum
cmp
dirname
echo
false
head
link
ln
logger
logname
pwd
rmdir
true
uname
The following tools are completed and working, though not necessarily
POSIX-compliant (a.k.a. I'm not confident about these):
tee
tty
The following tools are working, but not complete or POSIX-compliant:
cal
mkfifo
wc
Building
--------
Currently, to build any given utility, simply compile it using your system's
C compiler. In general, this can be done with:
`cc -std=c99 <util>`
where <util> is the C file you wish to compile.
Alternatively, you can just run `make` to compile all currently finished
utilities.
Portability
-----------
Currently, fenutils is know to be working on Linux when compiled using GCC and
glibc and on FreeBSD when compiled using clang and <freebsd c lib>. Testing is
in progress for other OS/compiler combinations. If you have any success on other
UNIX{,-like} systems, let us know.
