suckless unix tools

A function used only in the OpenBSD-Kernel as of now, but it surely provides a helpful interface when you just don't want to make sure the incoming pointer to erealloc() is really NULL so it behaves like malloc, making it a bit more safer. Talking about *allocarray(): It's definitely a major step in code- hardening. Especially as a system administrator, you should be able to trust your core tools without having to worry about segfaults like this, which can easily lead to privilege escalation. How do the GNU coreutils handle this? $ strings -n 4611686018427387903 strings: invalid minimum string length -1 $ strings -n 4611686018427387904 strings: invalid minimum string length 0 They silently overflow... In comparison, sbase: $ strings -n 4611686018427387903 mallocarray: out of memory $ strings -n 4611686018427387904 mallocarray: out of memory The first out of memory is actually a true OOM returned by malloc, whereas the second one is a detected overflow, which is not marked in a special way. Now tell me which diagnostic error-messages are easier to understand. |

sbase - suckless unix tools
===========================
sbase is a collection of unix tools that are inherently portable
across UNIX and UNIX-like systems.
The following tools are implemented ('*' == finished, '#' == UTF-8 support,
'=' == implicit UTF-8 support, '|' == audited):

The complement of sbase is ubase[1] which is Linux-specific and
provides all the non-portable tools. Together they are intended to
form a base system similar to busybox but much smaller and suckless.
Building
--------
To build sbase, simply type make. You may have to fiddle with
config.mk depending on your system.
You can also build sbase-box, which generates a single binary
containing all the required tools. You can then symlink the
individual tools to sbase-box or run: make sbase-box-install
Ideally you will want to statically link sbase. If you are on Linux
we recommend using musl-libc[2].
Portability
-----------
sbase has been compiled on a variety of different operating systems,
including Linux, *BSD, OSX, Haiku, Solaris, SCO OpenServer and others.
Various combinations of operating systems and architectures have also
been built.
You can build sbase with gcc, clang, tcc, nwcc and pcc.
