# Tiny I/O Nice
This is a fork of `ionice` from [util-linux](https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux)
It's a drop-in replacement for `ionice` in just 300 lines of C and under a single open source license.
[](https://repology.org/project/tinyionice/versions)
* Support for obsolete systems is removed.
* Translated output messages are removed.
* Other than that it's a fully featured drop-in replacement for `ionice`.
* The resulting executable is only 11k when built with GCC 11 on Linux (and then stripped with `sstrip`).
* `util-linux` uses several open source licenses across many different files. This fork is only based on files licensed under GPL2. `tinyionice` is only GPL2 licensed.
## Build
### With gcc
gcc -O2 -fPIC -fstack-protector-strong -D_GNU_SOURCE -s -z norelro main.c -o tinyionice
### With `make`
make
### With [`cxx`](https://github.com/xyproto/cxx)
cxx tiny
## Install
As `root`, with `sudo` or `doas`:
### Manually
sudo install -Dm755 tinyionice /usr/bin/tinyionice
### With `make`
make install
