How does Nushell embeds CoreUtils into its binary? #13100
-

When using some functions like But I'm wondering how it's embedded? There is no documentation on coreutils on how to embed these into the binary. I suppose there Nushell has a way to call the embedded coreutils program when it's called a certain way? I'm currently building a shell so I'm genuinely curious about this question :) |

uutils/coreutils publish all their commands as crates. so we embed uu_cp, uu_mv, and others. however, there was a lot of work that went into those so that we could use them. settings had to be exposed from the uutils side so we can keep producing nice errors when a uu command fails. you can search our PRs by the coreutils label and find how they were impelmented. |

Ok so it's not trivial at all to integrate coreutils into another library currently. |

We choose the parameters we think are most useful. That doesn't mean we always make the right choices though. Feel free to make your case in an issue or our discord #implementation-chat channel. We definitely have the ability to change them if we agree that it's a good move for the community. |
