GNU Core Utilities are essential tools for file, shell, and text manipulation in the GNU OS.
The GNU Coreutils package is a set of essential file, shell, and text manipulation utilities that are an integral part of the GNU operating system. These utilities are considered to be the backbone of any operating system and must be present in every system.
Previously, these utilities were available in three separate sets of GNU utilities, namely fileutils, shellutils, and textutils. However, they have now been combined into a single group of utilities called the coreutils.
The package includes a range of basic utilities such as ls, cp, mv, rm, cat, chmod, chgrp, as well as many others, which make managing files and directories a breeze. It also consists of various shell utilities like echo, expr, test, sleep, which allow you to automate several tasks by writing shell scripts.
Additionally, GNU Coreutils comes equipped with a wide range of text manipulation tools such as head, tail, cut, sort, paste, sed, and awk which allow you to manipulate text files easily.
In summary, if you're looking for a robust set of utilities that can help you manage files, directories, and automate tasks, the GNU Coreutils package is definitely worth checking out. It's simple to use, highly reliable, and an ideal choice for any Linux user looking to work with the command line.
