Sylvestre Ledru 62deaf6e60 updatedb: clear error when the output database can't be created
Opening the output file with `?` surfaced a bare "No such file or
directory" with no indication of which file failed (easy to hit because the
default output path /usr/local/var/locatedb often doesn't exist).

Report it like GNU does, naming the path and the reason, e.g.
`cannot create '/usr/local/var/locatedb': No such file or directory`.
strip_errno() drops the trailing "(os error N)" noise.

findutils

Crates.io Discord License dependency status codecov

Rust implementation of GNU 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 Evolution over time - BFS testsuite

Build/run with BFS

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
