== Description: ==
Toolbox is a compact, statically linked binary that consolidates many
essential GNU/Linux command line utilities into a single executable.
It is designed as a minimalist toolkit providing core functionality of common
Unix commands in a smaller, efficient form.
Toolbox simplifies deployment and maintenance by reducing disk space and
easing updates, particularly useful in resource constrained GNU/Linux
environments such as containers, embedded systems, and minimal installations.
While it may lack some advanced features of full GNU counterparts, it covers
key functionality required for most scripts and user tasks, ensuring
compatibility and familiar usage.
This single binary approach enhances portability and usability across various
GNU/Linux distributions without requiring multiple separate packages.
Overall, Toolbox offers a practical and streamlined solution for essential
command line tools on GNU/Linux systems.
