Rust implementation of [GNU findutils](https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/): `xargs`, `find`, `locate` and `updatedb`.

The goal is to be a full drop-in replacement of the original commands.

## Run the GNU testsuite on rust/findutils:

```

bash util/build-gnu.sh

# To run a specific test:

bash util/build-gnu.sh tests/misc/help-version.sh

```

## Comparing with GNU

![Evolution over time - GNU testsuite](https://github.com/uutils/findutils-tracking/blob/main/gnu-results.png?raw=true)

![Evolution over time - BFS testsuite](https://github.com/uutils/findutils-tracking/blob/main/bfs-results.png?raw=true)

## Build/run with BFS

[bfs](https://github.com/tavianator/bfs) is a variant of the UNIX find command that operates breadth-first rather than depth-first.

```

bash util/build-bfs.sh

# To run a specific test:

bash util/build-bfs.sh posix/basic

```
