Rust implementation of GNU findutils: xargs, find, locate and updatedb. The goal is to be a full drop-in replacement of the original commands.

Run the GNU testsuite on rust/findutils:

bash util/build-gnu.sh

# To run a specific test:
bash util/build-gnu.sh tests/misc/help-version.sh

Comparing with GNU

Evolution over time - GNU testsuite Evolution over time - BFS testsuite

Build/run with BFS

bfs is a variant of the UNIX find command that operates breadth-first rather than depth-first.

bash util/build-bfs.sh

# To run a specific test:
bash util/build-bfs.sh posix/basic
