[I] small system utilities for embedded systems
[T] Most of the typical Unix userland typically comes from either the GNU project[T] or the BSD people. Those sources are ancient and optimized for features, not[T] for small size, and now that computers are fast enough and have lots of RAM,[T] implementations became larger and larger. Features like internationalization[T] eat lots of memory and disk space.[T] [T] For embedded system and boot disks (and desktops and servers for purist Unix[T] users), you rather want small than internationalized versions of the utilities.[T] That's why I started to reimplement a few important typical userland programs[T] that I need on boot and rescue disks, making sure that you can link it against[T] diet libc to create very small statically linked binaries.[T] [T] By the way: one of the major goals for the embedded utilities is that the small[T] size is not achieved by omitting POSIX features. Unfortunately, I don't have a[T] copy of the POSIX standard, so feel free to correct me!
