The core GNU utilities.
The GNU project was mainly designed for Unix system administrators to have a Unix-like environment available. This focus resulted in the project porting many common Unix system command line utilities. The core bundle of utilities supplied for Linux systems is called the coreutils package.
The GNU coreutils package consists of three parts:
Utilities for handling files
Utilities for manipulating text
Utilities for managing processes
$ apt-cache search coreutils
bsdmainutils - collection of more utilities from FreeBSD
coreutils - The GNU core utilities
bsdmainutils - collection of more utilities from FreeBSD
coreutils - The GNU core utilities
These three main groups of utilities each contain several utility programs that are invaluable to the Linux system administrator and programmer.
