The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux-based operating system.

The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux-based operating system. This package enhances ALSA by providing additional plugins which include: upmixing, downmixing, jackd and pulseaudio support for native alsa applications, format conversion (s16 to a52), and external rate conversion.

kernel-hardening-checker is a tool for checking the security hardening options of the Linux kernel. Provided preferences are based on suggestions from various sources, including:

• KSPP recommended settings

• CLIP OS kernel configuration

• Last public grsecurity patch (options which they disable)

• SECURITY_LOCKDOWN_LSM patchset

• Direct feedback from the Linux kernel maintainers

This tool supports checking Kconfig options and kernel cmdline parameters.

eCryptfs is a POSIX-compliant stacked cryptographic file system for Linux. Each file's cryptographic meta-data is stored inside the file itself, along with the encrypted contents. This allows individual encrypted files to be copied between hosts and still be decrypted with the proper key. eCryptfs is a native Linux file system, and has been part of the Linux kernel since version 2.6.19. This package contains the userland utilities to manage it.

The inotify-tools packages provides a C library and command-line tools to use Linux' inotify mechanism, which allows file accesses to be monitored.

NTFS-3G provides read-write access to NTFS file systems, which are commonly found on Microsoft Windows. It is implemented as a FUSE file system. The package provides additional NTFS tools.

This package provides a way to access the System Management Unit for certain AMD Ryzen processors. This includes access to the System Management Network.

SimpleIni provides a simple API to read and write INI-style configuration files. It supports data files in ASCII, MBCS and Unicode.

Headers of the Linux-Libre kernel.

IP sets are a framework inside the Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernel which can be administered by the ipset utility. Depending on the type, currently an IP set may store IP addresses, (TCP/UDP) port numbers or IP addresses with MAC addresses in a way which ensures lightning speed when matching an entry against a set.

If you want to

• store multiple IP addresses or port numbers and match against the entire collection using a single iptables rule.

• dynamically update iptables rules against IP addresses or ports without performance penalty.

• express complex IP address and ports based rulesets with a single iptables rule and benefit from the speed of IP sets.

then IP sets may be the proper tool for you.

acpilight is a backward-compatibile replacement for xbacklight that uses the ACPI interface to set the display brightness. On modern laptops acpilight can control both display and keyboard backlight uniformly on either X11, the console or Wayland.

WirePlumber is a modular session / policy manager for PipeWire and a GObject-based high-level library that wraps PipeWire's API, providing convenience for writing the daemon's modules as well as external tools for managing PipeWire.

This package contains utilities for accessing the powercap Linux kernel feature through sysfs. It includes an implementation for working with Intel RAPL. It provides the commands powercap-info and powercap-set.

The tool conntrack provides a full featured interface that is intended to replace the old /proc/net/ip_conntrack interface. Using conntrack, you can view and manage the in-kernel connection tracking state table from userspace. On the other hand, conntrackd covers the specific aspects of stateful firewalls to enable highly available scenarios, and can be used as statistics collector as well.

Since 1.2.0, the conntrack-tools includes the nfct command line utility. This utility only supports the nfnetlink_cttimeout by now. In the long run, we expect that it will replace conntrack by providing a syntax similar to nftables.

This library provides APIs to access the Linux kernel's trace file system.

Early OOM is a minimalist out of memory (OOM) daemon that runs in user space and provides a more responsive and configurable alternative to the in-kernel OOM killer.

This package provides a PAM interface using ctypes.

This package provides the statically-linked btrfs from the btrfs-progs package. It is meant to be used in initrds.

This package provides a library and a command line interface to the variable facility of UEFI boot firmware.

evtest is a tool to print evdev kernel events. It reads directly from the kernel device and prints a device description and the events with the value and the symbolic name.

F2FS, the Flash-Friendly File System, is a modern file system designed to be fast and durable on flash devices such as solid-state disks and SD cards. This package provides the userland utilities.

This package provides utilities for testing, partitioning, etc of flash storage.

fakechroot runs a command in an environment were is additional possibility to use chroot command without root privileges. This is useful for allowing users to create own chrooted environment with possibility to install another packages without need for root privileges.

It works by providing libfakechroot.so, a shared library meant to be set as LD_PRELOAD to override the C library file system functions.

This package provides a driver for the XBox One S Wireless controller and some newer models when connected via Bluetooth. In addition to the included Linux kernel module, it also contains a modprobe configuration and udev rules, which need to be installed separately.
