[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!
