GNU ls has 60. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Samueru_sama@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago (2 children) fair, in that case the comparison is even since busybox provides a shell, awk, grep, wget among other 395 utils, uutils it is 115. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BatmanAoD@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) I really don't think these are clearly comparable. I would rather see two more similar projects with comparable functionality that are both attempting to optimize for program binary size. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Samueru_sama@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago Well if you still insist. Just went to check how big is the GNU coreutils as a single static binary, it is 2.3 MiB in size check it out: https://pkgs.pkgforge.dev/repo/bincache/x86_64-linux/coreutils/nixpkgs/coreutils/ permalink fedilink source parent
