Reimplementation of some of the coreutils for fun and profit.

minutils

A minimalist implementation of some of the coreutils for fun. Every binary performs the essential function(s) of their coreutil counterpart, with no --help or --version messages, and only minor error reporting.

Compile by invoking make. The final binaries will exist in bin/.

Can you crash the program when no arguments are given to it ?

Wc issue

Hello,

WC.c doesn't handle lines longer than 4095 chars, you should allocate memory, read the entire file content in the allocated array, split the content by the newline character and count the tokens instead using buffer that is to small and can skip longer lines.

Add tr

Add cut

Fix env

Right now env does not modify the environment if no command is being run. In fact, it segfaults.

Add timeout

Add rev
