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
|

|
|
|
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

|
|
|
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.
