pfff is a tool for calculating a compact digital fingerprint of a file by sampling randomly from the file instead of reading it in full. Consequently, the computation has a flat performance characteristic, correlated with data variation rather than file size. pfff can be as reliable as existing hashing techniques, with provably negligible risk of collisions.

This package provides the tldr command allowing users to view tldr pages from a shell. The tldr pages are a community effort to simplify the man pages with practical examples described in https://tldr.sh/.

Vale is a fully extensible linter that focuses on your own writing style by making use of rules in individual YAML files. It is syntax-aware on markup languages such as HTML, Markdown, Asciidoc, and reStructuredText. The community around it also has a list of style guides implemented with Vale in their styles repo.

The drm_tools package contains the following commands:

accudate

An extended version of the "date" program that has sub-second accuracy.

binformat

Format complex binary data into text.

binload

Load data into a binary file using simple commands from the input.

binorder

Sort, merge, search, retrieve or generate test data consisting of fixed size binary records.

binreplace

Find or find/replace in binary files.

binsplit

Split test data consisting of fixed size binary records into one or more output streams.

chardiff

Find changes between two files at the character level. Unlike "diff", it lists just the characters that differ, so if the 40,000th character is different only that one character will be shown, not the entire line.

columnadd

Add columns of integers, decimals, and/or times.

datasniffer

A utility for formatting binary data dumps.

dmath

Double precision interactive command line math calculator.

extract

Extract and emit data from text files based on character or token position.

execinput

A utility that reads from STDIN and executes each line as a command in a sub-process.

indexed_text

A utility for rapid retrieval of text by line numbers, in any order, from a text file.

mdump

Format binary data.

msgqueue

Create message queues and send/receive messages.

mbin

dtmbout

Multiple buffer in and out. Used for buffering a lot of data between a slow device and a fast device. Mostly for buffering streaming tape drives for use with slower network connections, so that streaming is maintained as much as possible to minimize wear on the tape device.

pockmark

Corrupt data streams - useful for testing error correction and data recovery.

tarsieve

Filter, list, or split a tar file.

utf8proc is a small C library that provides Unicode normalization, case-folding, and other operations for data in the UTF-8 encoding.

GoAWK is a POSIX-compatible version of AWK that also has a CSV mode for reading and writing CSV and TSV files.

catdoc extracts text from MS-Word files, trying to preserve as many special printable characters as possible. It supports everything up to Word-97. Also supported are MS Write documents and RTF files.

catdoc does not preserve complex word formatting, but it can translate some non-ASCII characters into TeX escape codes. It's goal is to extract plain text and allow you to read it and, probably, reformat with TeX, according to TeXnical rules.

This package also provides xls2csv, which extracts data from Excel spreadsheets and outputs it in comma-separated-value format, and catppt, which extracts data from PowerPoint presentations.

Libconfig is a simple library for manipulating structured configuration files. This file format is more compact and more readable than XML. And unlike XML, it is type-aware, so it is not necessary to do string parsing in application code.

The two programs are useful for generating test data, for inspecting binary files, and for interfacing programs that generate textual output to programs that require binary input and conversely. They can also be useful when it is desired to reformat numbers.

• ascii2binary reads input consisting of ascii or hexadecimal representation numbers separated by whitespace and produces as output the binary equivalents. The type and precision of the binary output is selected using command line flags.

• binary2ascii reads input consisting of binary numbers and converts them to their ascii or hexadecimal representation. Command line flags specify the type and size of the binary numbers and provide control over the format of the output. Unsigned integers may be written out in binary, octal, decimal, or hexadecimal.

  Signed integers may be written out only in binary or decimal. Floating point numbers may be written out only decimal, either in standard or scientific notation. (If you want to examine the binary representation of floating point numbers, just treat the input as a sequence of unsigned characters.)

The main purpose of this package is to provide more complex arithmetic operations on dates/times. Heavy use is made of the relativedelta type from the dateutil library. Much of this package is just a light wrapper on top of this with some added features such as range generation and business day calculation.

Utility that fakes the system time by pre-loading a small library that modifies the time, gettimeofday and clock_gettime system calls.

rdate connects to an RFC 868 time server over a TCP/IP network, printing the returned time and/or setting the system clock.

Tzlocal returns a tzinfo object with the local timezone information. This module attempts to fix a glaring hole in pytz, that there is no way to get the local timezone information, unless you know the zoneinfo name, and under several distributions that's hard or impossible to figure out.

This module provides a monotonic() function which returns the value (in fractional seconds) of a clock which never goes backwards.

This module parses the most common forms of ISO 8601 date strings (e.g. 2007-01-14T20:34:22+00:00) into datetime objects.

This is a python package for looking up the corresponding timezone for given coordinates on earth entirely offline.

The dateutil module provides powerful extensions to the standard datetime module, available in Python 2.3+.

Time is a command that displays information about the resources that a program uses. The display output of the program can be customized or saved to a file.

This package contains a library for parsing ISO 8601 datetime strings.

Termdown provides a fancy text display while it counts down to zero from a starting point you provide. The user can pause and resume the countdown from the text user interface. It can also be used in stop watch mode which counts forward or for just showing the current time.

Arrow is a Python library to creating, manipulating, formatting and converting dates, times, and timestamps. It implements and updates the datetime type.

This package provides a thin Python wrapper around tzdata.

This package provides functionality for utilizing the relativedelta feature from the dateutil library, ensuring calendar precision with aniso8601.
