#56871 closed defect (duplicate)

name of cut in coreutils

Reported by: sakuro (OZAWA Sakuro) Owned by:
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc:
Port: coreutils

Description

AFAIK all executables in coreutils are prefixed with g to distinguish from originals. 

$ port contents coreutils | grep paste
  /opt/local/bin/gpaste
  /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/man/man1/paste.1.gz
  /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/paste
  /opt/local/share/man/man1/gpaste.1.gz

but cut is named as "gnucut", not "gcut". Is this intentional? 

$ port contents coreutils | grep cut
  /opt/local/bin/gnucut
  /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/gnucut
  /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/man/man1/cut.1.gz
  /opt/local/share/man/man1/gnucut.1.gz

Yes. See #55327.

I see, thanks.

Btw I have misinterpreted that "gnumfmt" in coreutils is also prefixed with "gnu" but it is actually "g" + "numfmt" :)
