# util-linux
This projects aims at doing the same as https://github.com/uutils/coreutils for util-linux.
We are rewriting these tools in Rust as dropped-in replacements.
Currently, we have skeletons for:
* /usr/bin/lscpu: Displays information about the CPU architecture.
* /bin/mountpoint: Checks if a directory is a mountpoint.
First, reimplement the most important tools from util-linux
* /bin/mountpoint: Checks if a directory is a mountpoint.
* /bin/su: Switches to another user account.
* /sbin/blkid: Locates or prints block device attributes.
* /sbin/fsck: Checks and repairs a Linux file system.
* /sbin/mkfs: Builds a Linux file system on a device, usually used for formatting.
* /sbin/mkswap: Sets up a Linux swap area.
* /usr/bin/getopt: Parses command options, essential for scripting.
* /usr/bin/lscpu: Displays information about the CPU architecture.
* /usr/bin/lsblk: Lists information about all available or specified block devices.
* /bin/dmesg: Displays or controls the kernel ring buffer, used for viewing system message logs.
