coreutilsj

Programs implementing the functionality of GNU's coreutils but generating JSON instead of human readable output.

Requirements

The JSON output is generated by the use of JQ's JSON value API, which is part of libjq.

Examples

statj

This is the output of the original stat command.

$ stat statj
  File: ‘statj’
