List of utils provided #41

Open secworks opened 1 year ago

Hi!

May I suggest adding a list of utils currently implemented in the README (and possibly also status). It would be much easier to see how complete bsdutils is, and possibly how mature it is.

Sure, I can do that.

FWIW, everything here is ported and done: https://github.com/dcantrell/bsdutils/tree/master/src

I can note what things are missing that are present in GNU coreutils. The DIFFERENCES file explains things that had to happen in order to complete the port. Notably, struct stat differences and things like that. Also, all support for capsicum(4) from FreeBSD is removed since that does not exist on Linux. It is possible that some correlation could be made to functionality provided by something like libcap, but I did not go that far in to it.
