This package is the union of 2the GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages. 3 4Most of these programs have significant advantages over their Unix 5counterparts, such as greater speed, additional options, and fewer 6arbitrary limits. 7 8The programs that can be built with this package are: --- 20 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 29 30The ls, dir, and vdir commands are all separate executables instead of 31one program that checks argv[0] because people often rename these 32programs to things like gls, gnuls, l, etc. Renaming a program 33file shouldn't affect how it operates, so that people can get the 34behavior they want with whatever name they want. 35 36Special thanks to Paul Eggert, Brian Matthews, Bruce Evans, Karl Berry, | 1These are the GNU core utilities.
