Icod.CoreUtils 1.0.1

COREUTILS(1)

NAME

coreutils — route Icod.CoreUtils commands through a single installed .NET tool

SYNOPSIS

coreutils COMMAND [OPTION]... [ARG]...
coreutils --help
coreutils --version

DESCRIPTION

coreutils is the installable router for the Icod.CoreUtils command suite. It dispatches the requested command directly to the corresponding managed implementation while preserving the command's arguments and exit status.

The router package is intended for users who prefer one global .NET tool installation. Platform-specific ZIP archives remain available for users who want the traditional individual executables.

INSTALLATION

dotnet tool install --global Icod.CoreUtils

To install a specific version:

dotnet tool install --global Icod.CoreUtils --version VERSION

ROUTER OPTIONS

    Display router help and the supported command names.

-v, --version
    Display the router package version.

PATHNAME GLOBBING

coreutils does not perform Icod.CommandFramework pathname glob expansion at the dispatcher level. It preserves the selected applet's argument vector and delegates operand interpretation to that applet, which is responsible for deciding whether any of its own operands are eligible for expansion. Any expansion performed by an invoking shell or other caller occurs before coreutils receives the arguments.

DISTRIBUTION

Tagged releases also provide ZIP archives for Windows, Linux, and macOS on x64 and ARM64. Each archive contains the standalone command executables, the coreutils router, each executable's README and GPL license copy, and the repository-level README and LICENSE.

The release ZIPs are framework-dependent single-file applications and require the .NET 10 runtime.
