# Coreutils Core
[](https://github.com/GrayJack/coreutils/blob/master/coreutils_core/LICENSE)
It's a library used by [this](https://github.com/GrayJack/coreutils) implementation of coreutils in Rust programming language.
Think of it as a crate to create coreutils tools.
Here lies several abstraction for Unix/Unix-like structures in the OS supported by the project.
* Backup module that handles creating backups
* Input module to get user confirmation
* mktemp: Wrappers for libc mkstemp(3) and mkdtemp(3)
* mkfifo: Wrapper for libc mkfifo(3) and maybe expandable for other FIFO related functions
* OS module with abstractions for more os specific stuff
* Audit structs and syscall for FreeBSD and MacOS
* group: Module with structures and methods to handle groups information
* load: Safe abstraction to system function to get load of the system
* login_name: Safe abstractions to system function to get caller login name
* passwd: Module that holds structures and methods to handle system user information
* process: Safe abstraction related to process handling
* routing_table: Routing table abstractions for OpenBSD
* time: OS functions to handle system time (set system time)
* tty: Abstractions to check if a FileDescriptor is a TTY and ways to get the TTY name
* utmp and utmpx: Types representing account database on unix and methods to use them
* utsname: Types to aquire system information
It also re-export major needed things from [bstr](https://github.com/BurntSushi/bstr), a crate with a string type for Rust that is not required to be valid UTF-8, as well as [time](https://github.com/time-rs/time) and [libc](https://github.com/rust-lang/libc)
