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.

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

This package provides the kexec program and ancillary utilities. Using kexec, it is possible to boot directly into a new kernel from the context of an already-running kernel, bypassing the normal system boot process.

The primary purpose of Csmith is to find compiler bugs with random programs using differential testing.

This package provides a PAM module that hands over your login password to gpg-agent. This can be useful if you are using a GnuPG-based password manager like pass.

Dual Function Keys is a plugin for interception-tools that allows one to send arbitrary keycodes when a given key is tapped or held.

PipeWire is a project that aims to greatly improve handling of audio and video under Linux. It aims to support the usecases currently handled by both PulseAudio and Jack and at the same time provide same level of powerful handling of Video input and output. It also introduces a security model that makes interacting with audio and video devices from containerized applications easy, with supporting Flatpak applications being the primary goal. Alongside Wayland and Flatpak we expect PipeWire to provide a core building block for the future of Linux application development.

The USB/IP protocol enables to pass USB device from a server to a client over the network. The server is a machine which shares an USB device and the client is a machine which uses USB device provided by a server over the network. The USB device may be either physical device connected to a server or software entity created on a server using USB gadget subsystem. The usbip-utils are userspace tools to used to handle connection and management on both side. The client needs the vhci-hcd Linux kernel module and the server needs the usbip_host Linux kernel module.

This package provides the documentation for the kernel Linux-Libre, as an Info manual. To consult it, run info linux.

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.

iptables is the user-space command line program used to configure the Linux 2.4.x and later IPv4 packet filtering ruleset (firewall), including NAT (Network Address Translation).

This package also includes ip6tables, which is used to configure the IPv6 packet filter.

Both commands are targeted at system administrators.

acpi attempts to replicate the functionality of the "old" apm command on ACPI systems, including battery and thermal information. It does not support ACPI suspending, only displays information about ACPI devices.

Python-evdev provides bindings to the generic input event interface in Linux. The evdev interface serves the purpose of passing events generated in the kernel directly to userspace through character devices that are typically located in /dev/input/.

This package also comes with bindings to uinput, the userspace input subsystem. uinput allows userspace programs to create and handle input devices that can inject events directly into the input subsystem.

This is a collection of tests written over uverbs intended for use as a performance micro-benchmark. The tests may be used for hardware or software tuning as well as for functional testing.

The collection contains a set of bandwidth and latency benchmark such as:

1. Send - ib_send_bw and ib_send_lat

2. RDMA Read - ib_read_bw and ib_read_lat

3. RDMA Write - ib_write_bw and ib_wriet_lat

4. RDMA Atomic - ib_atomic_bw and ib_atomic_lat

5. Native Ethernet (when working with MOFED2) - raw_ethernet_bw, raw_ethernet_lat

Libevdi is a library that gives applications easy access to EVDI devices provided by the evdi driver package.

The EVDI is a Linux kernel module that enables management of multiple screens, allowing user-space programs to take control over what happens with the image. It is essentially a virtual display for which applications using the libevdi library can add, remove, and receive screen updates.

The EVDI driver uses the standard Linux DRM. Its displays can be controlled by standard tools such as xrandr and display settings applets in graphical environments

The libseccomp library provides an easy to use, platform independent, interface to the Linux Kernel's syscall filtering mechanism. The libseccomp API is designed to abstract away the underlying BPF based syscall filter language and present a more conventional function-call based filtering interface that should be familiar to, and easily adopted by, application developers.

This package contains the wireless regulatory database for the CRDA. The database contains information on country-specific regulations for the wireless spectrum.

The VHBA module is the link between the CDemu user-space daemon and the kernel Linux. It acts as a low-level SCSI driver that emulates a virtual SCSI adapter which can have multiple virtual devices attached to it. Its typical use with CDEmu is to emulate optical devices such as DVD and CD-ROM drives.

Headers of the Linux-Libre kernel.

GNU Linux-Libre is a free (as in freedom) variant of the Linux kernel. It has been modified to remove all non-free binary blobs.

This package provides userspace components for the InfiniBand subsystem of the Linux kernel. Specifically it contains userspace libraries for the following device nodes:

1. /dev/infiniband/uverbsX (libibverbs)

2. /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm (librdmacm)

3. /dev/infiniband/umadX (libibumad)

The following service daemons are also provided:

1. srp_daemon (for the ib_srp kernel module)

2. iwpmd (for iWARP kernel providers)

3. ibacm (for InfiniBand communication management assistant)

LVM2 is the logical volume management tool set for Linux-based systems. This package includes the user-space libraries and tools, including the device mapper. Kernel components are part of Linux-libre.

This library enables userspace to use Linux kernel asynchronous I/O system calls, important for the performance of databases and other advanced applications.
