Busybox 1.31.1 Private

Package Unix Port

NOTE: This entry is about the Unix version, see below for available Windows implementations.

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc (Coreutils). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.

It contains the following tools (More info under "Details" below):

and why it's here especially since windows version exist
are you gonna submit all coreutils now?
wtf are you doing

@billon

Because there is more than one Windows implementation for Busybox. It will actually be like Coreutils:

1. Entry for the main Unix tool (Busybox), with list of child tools and mentioning available Windows ports in the description.

2. Entry for Each Windows port of the main tool (busybox-w32)

3. Individual entries of child tools of the Unix version that are relevant to Windows (cal, cp, etc). These entries refer back to #1 (Busybox).

For example, "cal [Busybox]" will refer the user to the parent entry (Busybox), and Busybox entry will refer them to available Windows implementations (busybox-w32, etc)

Gzip v1.10 Private

Package Tool Unix Port

Compression and decompression utilities; the typical extension is `.gz'.


It handles single files only. It is not an archiver.

It contains the following tools:

gzip: Compresses single files as gzip files.
gunzip: Decompress gzip files – Alias for `gzip -d'.
uncompress: Alias for `gunzip'. No longer used.
gzexe: Compress executable files in place.
zcat: Decompress gzip files to stdout– Alias for `gunzip -c'.
zcmp: Invoke the cmp program on gzip compressed files.
zdiff: Invoke the diff program on gzip compressed files.
zgrep: Invoke the grep program on gzip compressed files.
zegrep: Invoke egrep on gzip compressed files.
zfgrep: Invoke fgrep on gzip compressed files.
zforce: Force a '.gz' extension on all gzip files.
zless: Invoke the less program on gzip compressed files.
zmore: Invoke the more program on gzip compressed files.
znew: Recompress .Z files to .gz files.



Get it as part of:
v1.3.12: GnuWin.
v1.3.12: Gow (gzip.exe only).
v1.2.4: UnxUtils (gzip, gunzip, zcat).
