What is RustyBox?
RustyBox is a free, open-source fork of the popular BusyBox utility suite, rewritten entirely in the Rust programming language. Providing the same core set of common Unix commands and tools found in BustyBox, RustyBox packs these functions into a compact, single-binary package weighing less than 1 megabyte. Without a single line of C code, RustyBox delivers a pure Rust implementation of essential system utilities such as ls, mount, top, and more, making it an ideal choice for building lightweight Linux-based operating systems and embedded devices.
