As far as I understand, this project is focused on reimplementing the binaries built from the util-linux C project. However, the util-linux C project also builds shared libraries (e.g., libmount, libsmartcols). For the moment, the binaries reimplemented by this project continue to rely on these C libraries (through *-sys bindings crates) in order to provide a very similar behavior to the C project. However, if the goal of this project is to reimplement the C project entirely in Rust, then these libraries must also be reimplemented.
Is there a goal or plan to reimplement the C libraries as Rust crates? Or is the scope only limited to the binaries?
