Show HN: fcp – A significantly faster alternative to cp(1), written in Rust

• man

  1 167 0.0 Rust

  Generate structured man pages (by rust-cli)

  

My only gripe with those new unix tools is that many of them don't come with a man page, even though they have essentially the same information elsewhere

So, perhaps, take a look at https://github.com/rust-cli/man or something

• wcp

  3 191 0.0 C

Not a question, but I made a similar tool in c++[1], for Linux only using io_uring, and a blog post explaining its internals [2]. I'll definitely have a look some time soon, I'd be interested to see how performance compares (I gathered from some other comments here that you're using blocking io in threads?)

  Rust library for HDD-aware directory traversal

> preferably sort its stat()s and open/read/close() by inode

A better approach would be to use information about location of data extents. Luckily there's already a crate that can help with that: https://github.com/the8472/platter-walk
