ubase is a set of tools similar to util-linux to complement sbase[1]. ubase - suckless linux base utils
=================================
Build a statically linked version of sbase-box with musl: ubase is a collection of tools similar in spirit to util-linux but
much simpler.
make CC=musl-gcc LDFLAGS=-static ubase-box The following programs are currently implemented:
[1] http://git.suckless.org/sbase chvt clear ctrlaltdel df dmesg eject fallocate free getty halt id
insmod killall5 lsmod lsusb mknod mkswap mount mountpoint pagesize
pidof pivot_root ps rmmod stat su swapoff swapon truncate umount
unshare uptime watch who
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
config.mk 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
individual tools to ubase-box.
Ideally you will want to statically link ubase. We highly recommend
using musl-libc[2].
