Microsoft's Coreutils for Windows Published: 2026-06-04. Last Updated: 2026-06-04 06:10:44 UTC by Didier Stevens (Version: 1) 0 comment(s) I've been using the GnuWin32 CoreUtils for Windows for many years now (it gives you many *nix core commands on Windows). Microsoft has just released their coreutils version for Windows. You can install them with a winget command (winget install Microsoft.Coreutils) or with the installer released on GitHub. It takes just a few clicks: It installs a single executable compiled with Rust (coreutils.exe) in the program files folder: And each individual command is a hard link to this executable: Here is the full list of commands:   arch.cmd b2sum.cmd base32.cmd base64.cmd basename.cmd basenc.cmd cat.cmd cksum.cmd comm.cmd cp.cmd csplit.cmd cut.cmd date.cmd df.cmd dirname.cmd du.cmd echo.cmd env.cmd expr.cmd factor.cmd false.cmd find.cmd fmt.cmd fold.cmd grep.cmd head.cmd hostname.cmd join.cmd link.cmd ln.cmd ls.cmd md5sum.cmd mkdir.cmd mktemp.cmd mv.cmd nl.cmd nproc.cmd numfmt.cmd od.cmd pathchk.cmd pr.cmd printenv.cmd printf.cmd ptx.cmd pwd.cmd readlink.cmd realpath.cmd rm.cmd rmdir.cmd seq.cmd sha1sum.cmd sha224sum.cmd sha256sum.cmd sha384sum.cmd sha512sum.cmd shuf.cmd sleep.cmd sort.cmd split.cmd stat.cmd sum.cmd tac.cmd tail.cmd tee.cmd test.cmd touch.cmd tr.cmd true.cmd truncate.cmd tsort.cmd unexpand.cmd uniq.cmd unlink.cmd uptime.cmd wc.cmd xargs.cmd yes.cmd Didier Stevens Senior handler blog.DidierStevens.com Keywords: 0 comment(s)
