ubase is a collection of tools similar in spirit to util-linux but
much simpler.

The complement of ubase is sbase[1] which mostly follows POSIX and
provides all the portable tools. Together they are intended to form a
base system similar to busybox but much smaller and suckless.
Building
--------
To build ubase, simply type make. You may have to fiddle with
2014-06-30 09:18:06 -04:00
config.mk and config.h depending on your system.

You can also build ubase-box, which generates a single binary
containing all the required tools. You can then symlink the
2015-02-28 09:39:09 -05:00
individual tools to ubase-box or run: make ubase-box-install.

To run the tools for ubase-box directly use: ubase-box cmd [args]

Ideally you will want to statically link ubase. We highly recommend
using musl-libc[2].

ubase is known to compile with gcc, clang and tcc.
