MesaBox is a collection of core system utilities written in Rust for Unix-like systems.
Like the well-known BusyBox and Toybox sets of utilities popular on embedded devices, MesaBox seeks to provide a fully functioning command-line environment (unlike uutils, which just seeks to reimplement the GNU coreutils).
As the project has just begun many utilities have yet to be implemented. If something in the table below seems interesting, feel free to take a stab at it. If it seems like something that should be in the table is missing, make sure to open an issue. Take a look at CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.
