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

Libnfsidmap is a library holding multiple methods of mapping names to ids and visa versa, mainly for NFSv4. It provides an extensible array of mapping functions, currently consisting of two choices: the default nsswitch and the experimental umich_ldap.

ipvsadm(8) is used to set up, maintain or inspect the virtual server table in the Linux kernel. The Linux Virtual Server can be used to build scalable network services based on a cluster of two or more nodes.

Modprobed-db is a useful utility for users wishing to build a minimal kernel via a make localmodconfig. In a nutshell, this make target creates a config based on the current config and a list of modules you define (that modprobed-db keeps for you). It then disables any module option that is not needed thus not building extraneous modules. This results in a system-specific, streamlined kernel package and footprint as well as reduced compilation times.

Modprobed-db simply logs every module ever probed on the target system to a text-based database ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/modprobed-db), which can be read directly by make localmodconfig as described above.

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.

This package provides boltd, a userspace daemon for Thunderbolt devices, and boltctl, a command-line utility for managing those devices.

The daemon boltd exposes devices via D-Bus to clients. It also stores a database of previously authorized devices and will, depending on the policy set for the individual devices, automatically authorize newly connected devices without user interaction.

The command-line utility boltctl manages Thunderbolt devices via boltd. It can list devices, monitor changes, and initiate authorization of devices.

This package provides a Linux tool for controlling a PS5 DualSense controller. It has to be already connected via USB or connected via Bluetooth.

nfacct is the command line tool to create/retrieve/delete accounting objects

1. listing the objects of the nfacct table in plain text/XML

2. atomically get and reset objects of the nfacct table

3. adding new objects to the nfacct table

4. deleting objects from the nfacct table

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.

Headers of the Linux-Libre kernel.

This package provides a library called libpfm4, which is used to develop monitoring tools exploiting the performance monitoring events such as those provided by the Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) of modern processors.

Libpfm4 helps convert from an event name, expressed as a string, to the event encoding that is either the raw event as documented by the hardware vendor or the OS-specific encoding. In the latter case, the library is able to prepare the OS-specific data structures needed by the kernel to setup the event.

libpfm4 provides support for the perf_events interface, which was introduced in Linux 2.6.31.

Xsensors reads data from the libsensors library regarding hardware health such as temperature, voltage and fan speed and displays the information in a digital read-out.

This package provides the tuxedo_keyboard, tuxedo_io, clevo_wmi WMI and the clevo_acpi ACPI kernel modules to control the keyboard on most Tuxedo computers. The tuxedo_io module is also needed for the tuxedo-control-center (short tcc) package.

OpenFabrics Interfaces (OFI) is a framework focused on exporting fabric communication services to applications. OFI is best described as a collection of libraries and applications used to export fabric services. The key components of OFI are: application interfaces, provider libraries, kernel services, daemons, and test applications.

Libfabric is a core component of OFI. It is the library that defines and exports the user-space API of OFI, and is typically the only software that applications deal with directly. It works in conjunction with provider libraries, which are often integrated directly into libfabric.

fakeroot runs a command in an environment where it appears to have root privileges for file manipulation. This is useful for allowing users to create archives (tar, ar, deb, etc.) with files in them with root permissions and/or ownership.

Without fakeroot, one would have to have root privileges to create the constituent files of the archives with the correct permissions and ownership, and then pack them up, or one would have to construct the archives directly, without using the archiver.

Util-linux is a diverse collection of Linux kernel utilities. It provides dmesg and includes tools for working with file systems, block devices, UUIDs, TTYs, and many other tools.

x86_energy_perf_policy displays and updates energy-performance policy settings specific to Intel Architecture Processors. Settings are accessed via Model Specific Register (MSR) updates, no matter if the Linux cpufreq sub-system is enabled or not.

PRoot is a user-space implementation of chroot, mount --bind, and binfmt_misc. This means that users don't need any privileges or setup to do things like using an arbitrary directory as the new root file system, making files accessible somewhere else in the file system hierarchy, or executing programs built for another CPU architecture transparently through QEMU user-mode. Also, developers can use PRoot as a generic process instrumentation engine thanks to its extension mechanism. Technically PRoot relies on ptrace, an unprivileged system-call available in the kernel Linux.

This package provides a kernel module that is capable of resetting hardware devices into a state where they can be re-initialized or passed through into a virtual machine (VFIO). While it would be great to have these in the kernel as PCI quirks, some of the reset procedures are very complex and would never be accepted as a quirk (ie AMD Vega 10).

The i2c-tools package contains a heterogeneous set of I2C tools for Linux: a bus probing tool, a chip dumper, register-level SMBus access helpers, EEPROM decoding scripts, EEPROM programming tools, and a python module for SMBus access.

This tool turns ldd into a tree and explains how shared libraries are found or why they cannot be located.

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

bin-graph provides a simple way of visualizing the different regions of a binary file.
