Vinyl Linux Utils

This repo holds linux binaries, designed for Vinyl Linux.

These are designed to be static, well tested, and with strict memory and type safety.

This project provides a single binary which is accessed with some wrapper scripts. This is similar to busybox, though without a single binary which reacts due to the name the binary is called with. This is to make it easier to call the binary directly/ script with.
