1 ubase - suckless linux base utils
2 =================================
3
4 ubase is a collection of tools similar in spirit to util-linux but
5 much simpler.
6
7 The complement of ubase is sbase[1] which mostly follows POSIX and
8 provides all the portable tools. Together they are intended to form a
9 base system similar to busybox but much smaller and suckless.
10
11 Building
12 --------
13
14 To build ubase, simply type make. You may have to fiddle with
15 config.mk and config.h depending on your system.
16
17 You can also build ubase-box, which generates a single binary
18 containing all the required tools. You can then symlink the
19 individual tools to ubase-box or run: make ubase-box-install.
20
21 To run the tools for ubase-box directly use: ubase-box cmd [args]
22
23 Ideally you will want to statically link ubase. We highly recommend
24 using musl-libc[2].
25
26 ubase is known to compile with gcc, clang and tcc.
