The KIB in Batch project

KIB in Batch is a lightweight UNIX-like environment for MS-Windows.

Compare to alternatives

KIB is a lot lighter than alternatives like Cygwin, WSL and Msys2. This makes it better for constrained environments like IoT devices. But the POSIX layer is less complete, therefore making KIB have to use a Win32 port of BusyBox. For a complete POSIX implementation, use the alternatives I mentioned.
