Thinkfan is a simple fan control program. It reads temperatures, checks them against configured limits and switches to appropriate (also pre-configured) fan level. It requires a working thinkpad_acpi or any other hwmon driver that enables temperature reading and fan control from userspace.

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.

RadeonTop monitors resource consumption on supported AMD Radeon Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), either in real time as bar graphs on a terminal or saved to a file for further processing. It measures both the activity of the GPU as a whole, which is also accurate during OpenCL computations, as well as separate component statistics that are only meaningful under OpenGL graphics workloads.

Iotop is a Python program with a top like user interface to show the processes currently causing I/O.

This package provides a Python library to access I2C and SMBus devices on Linux.

This package provides commands to create and check XFS file systems.

This package provides an advanced monitor of critical system resources, supervises the heartbeat of processes, records deadline transgressions, and initiates a controlled reset if needed.

ddate displays the Discordian date and holidays of a given date. The Discordian calendar was made popular by the "Illuminatus!" trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson.

pflask is a simple tool for creating Linux namespace containers. It can be used for running a command or even booting an OS inside an isolated container, created with the help of Linux namespaces. It is similar in functionality to chroot, although pflask provides better isolation thanks to the use of namespaces.

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

cpuid dumps detailed information about the CPU(s) gathered from the CPUID instruction, and also determines the exact model of CPU(s). It supports Intel, AMD, and VIA CPUs, as well as older Transmeta, Cyrix, UMC, NexGen, Rise, and SiS CPUs.

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

This is a port of the FreeBSD userland for Linux provided by the Chimera Linux distribution. Essentially, it is a collection of UNIX tools such as grep, cp, vi, etc. and can be used as an alternative to the corresponding implementations from the GNU project.

jmtpfs uses FUSE to provide access to data over MTP. Unprivileged users can mount the MTP device as a file system.

This is a file system client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol. Since most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very easy to set up: on the server side there's nothing to do; on the client side mounting the file system is as easy as logging into the server with an SSH client.

This package provides a statically linked ntfsfix taken from the ntfs-3g package. It is meant to be used in initrds.

The GPM (general-purpose mouse) daemon is a mouse server for applications running on the Linux console. It allows users to select items and copy/paste text in the console and in xterm.

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.

acpid is designed to notify user-space programs of Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) events. acpid should be started during the system boot, and will run as a background process. When an ACPI event is received from the kernel, acpid will examine the list of rules specified in /etc/acpi/events and execute the rules that match the event.

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.

Libcxi provides applications with a low-level interface to the Cray/HPE Cassini high-speed NIC, also known as Slingshot.

iotop identifies which processes and threads are most responsible for I/O activity such as disc reads and writes. It sorts them in a live, interactive table overview similar to that of the well-known top.

This information makes it much easier for an administrator to see which tasks are blocking others and adjust their priority (using ionice) or stop or kill them altogether.

This package provides hardware definitions and C headers for use by the Linux driver and by user-space applications for the Cassini/Slingshot high-speed network interconnect made by HPE (formerly Cray). User-land software uses cxi_prov_hw.h from this package.

Headers of the Linux-Libre kernel.
