I'm not that well versed in rust, is this literally just wrapping the C library in rust, and calling it a rust implementation of it?

Yes. Unsafely.

No, it is not rust implementation if the library (not does it call itself that). It is a rust implementation of one of core utility programs. Here is the code it reimplements, it is similarly short, and hopefully dispels the confusion - https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/165b62de8083ed9dec9ef4e1699ed44c3c7a2b91/src/logname.c
