About:
Uutils findutils is a Rust-based implementation of the standard GNU findutils toolkit, offering tools like find, locate, and xargs. It provides a memory-safe and performant alternative to the C implementation, ensuring reliable file searching and processing. The project focuses on cross-platform compatibility, running natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Key Features:
  • Memory-safe Rust implementation
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
  • Drop-in replacement for GNU findutils
  • High performance and parallelism
Use Cases:
  • Locating files based on complex criteria in scripts
  • Batch processing files found via search queries
  • Modernizing legacy shell scripts with safer tools
Alternatives:
  • GNU findutils – The original C implementation; Uutils offers better memory safety and portability.
  • fd – A fast, opinionated alternative focused on simplicity, whereas Uutils aims for strict compatibility.
