Our `coreutils` is called as `utility-name` if its binary name ends with `utility-name` to support prefixed names.
Longer name is prioritized e.g. `sum` with the prefix `ck` is called as `cksum`.
## `base32/base64/basenc`
Just like on macOS, `base32/base64/basenc` provides `-D` to decode data.
## `cp`
`cp` can display a progress bar when the `-g`/`--progress` flag is set.
## `du`
`du` allows `birth` and `creation` as values for the `--time` argument to show the creation time. It
also provides a `-v`/`--verbose` flag.

`expand` offers the `-U`/`--no-utf8` option to interpret input files as 8-bit ASCII instead of UTF-8.
## `mv`
## `fmt`
`mv` can display a progress bar when the `-g`/`--progress` flag is set.
`fmt` has additional flags for prefixes: `-P`/`--skip-prefix`, `-x`/`--exact-prefix`, and
`-X`/`--exact-skip-prefix`. With `-m`/`--preserve-headers`, an attempt is made to detect and preserve
mail headers in the input. `-q`/`--quick` breaks lines more quickly. And `-T`/`--tab-width` defines the
number of spaces representing a tab when determining the line length.
## `rm`
## `id`
`rm` can display a progress bar when the `-g`/`--progress` flag is set.
`id` has three additional flags:
* `-P` displays the id as a password file entry
* `-p` makes the output human-readable
* `-A` displays the process audit user ID
## `install`
`install` offers FreeBSD's `-U` unprivileged option to not change the owner, the group, or the file flags of the destination.
## `ls`
GNU `ls` provides two ways to use a long listing format: `-l` and `--format=long`. We support a
third way: `--long`.
GNU `ls --sort=VALUE` only supports special non-default sort orders.
We support `--sort=name`, which makes it possible to override an earlier value.
