Go coreutils
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/EricLagerg/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/EricLagerg/go-gnulib for a similar project.
Completed:
11/100
| Utility | Completeness | Cross Platform | Need Refactor |
|---|---|---|---|
| wc | 100% | Yes (Unix/Windows) | No |
| uname | 100% | No | Gofmt |
| cat | 100% | Yes (Unix/Windows) | No |
| chown | 90% (-R has infinite recursion issues) | No | Yes (-R) |
| whoami | 100% | Yes (Unix/Windows | No |
| tty | 100% | Yes (Unix/Windows) | No |
| xxd | 100% | Yes (Unix/Windows) | No |
| sync | 100% | Yes (Unix/Windows) | No |
| logname | 100% | No | No |
| tsort | 100% | Yes (Unix/Windows) | No |
| yes | 100% | Yes (Unix/Windows) | No |
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:
These utilities should be nearly identical to GNU's coreutils, and should have relatively the same speed.
For example, wc.go counts chars in 550MB file in < 15sec, wc.c in ~11sec
on (Intel core i3 2.66ghz running Debian 3.2.63-2+deb7u1 x86_64).
xxd.go is actually much faster than the native xxd implementation found
on most *nix machines.
It (as a whole) is licensed under the GPLv3 because it's mostly a transliteraiton of GNU's coreutils, which are licensed under the GPL.
However, all parts are licensed individually, as not all are under
the GPL (e.g., xxd).
