# coreutils
These are the GNU core utilities.
This package is the union of the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.
These tools're the GNU versions of common useful and popular file and text utilities which are used for:
- file management
- shell scripts
- modifying text file (spliting, joining, comparing, modifying, ...)
Most of these programs have significant advantages over their Unix counterparts, such as greater speed, additional options, and fewer arbitrary limits.
