Introduction

The coreutils package contains basic file, shell, and text manipulation utilities. Our Rust implementation aims to enhance performance, reliability, and cross-platform compatibility. By leveraging Rust's memory safety and concurrency features, we provide a robust set of tools that can run seamlessly on various operating systems.

Features

Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Lightweight: Minimal dependencies for faster execution.
Efficient: Optimized for performance using Rust's capabilities.
Extensive Documentation: Clear usage guides and examples.
Community-Driven: Open for contributions and suggestions.
