COREUTILS(1)
💖 COREUTILS(1) 💖
okay so bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for coreutils — yes, that all-lowercase legend itself, the umbrella page that's basically the group chat owner of the entire coreutils fam. pull up a chair, grab a lil snack 🍓, we're going through every single one of these cuties, no skips, no shortcuts, periodt.
✨ NAME ✨
coreutils — that's the name, that's the whole name, she's simple and she knows it 💅
🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸
coreutils [-h|--help] [subcommands]so yeah, you either ask her for help, or you hand her some subcommands and let her cook 🔥
🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋
ngl bestie, the original page left this section completely empty. like, blank. nothing. not one little sentence 😭 and I am not about to make stuff up and pretend it was always there — that's not the vibe, that's not honest, so we're keeping it exactly as empty as she came. iconic in a mysterious way, honestly. main character with no backstory 🎀
👑 OPTIONS 👑
-h,--help— prints the help. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly every time ✨
🌈 SUBCOMMANDS 🌈
this is the good part. here's every single subcommand page she's got, each one chilling with its own lil about line. go read them, they're all slaying in their own lanes 💜

💡 heads up bestie: that list is the whole list, nothing filtered, nothing skipped. every single one of those little darlings is in there, exactly as she wrote them.
and that's the page!! 🫶 this one's from the 2026-09-25 batch of the COREUTILS(1) page, so if you see that date stamped anywhere, that's us, that's our era. go forth and ls something, you absolute icon 👑✨💖
