Linux Utility Tool Development

I need a straightforward software application that runs natively on Linux and serves as a dedicated utility tool. The core idea is already outlined on my side; once we agree to work together, I will share a concise feature list and expected workflows.

Here is what matters most to me:
• Clean, dependable code that compiles without hassle on common Linux distributions.
• A minimal-footprint executable plus the full, well-commented source.
• Clear build instructions (Makefile, CMake, or an equivalent shell script).
• A short README so I can install, run, and troubleshoot the tool on my own.

Any modern language that is well supported on Linux—C, C++, Rust, Go, or Python—is fine, so choose whichever lets you deliver a robust result quickly. If you lean on open-source libraries, just note the licenses. Before sign-off I will test the binary on Ubuntu and one other distro; if it runs and matches the agreed behaviour, the milestone is complete.
