The GNU Core Utilities are the basic file, shell and text manipulation utilities of the GNU operating system. Previously these utilities were offered as three individual sets of GNU utilities, Fileutils, Shellutils, and Textutils. Those three have been combined into a single set of utilities called Coreutils. All the binaries are prefixed by the letter g to differentiate them with the standard applications with the same name. The texinfo documentation will refer to them without the 'g' prefix. `id' is prefixed by two g (ggid) in other to avoid a conflict with gid in id-utils.
