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.

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

Lm-sensors is a hardware health monitoring package for Linux. It allows you to access information from temperature, voltage, and fan speed sensors. It works with most newer systems.

NUMA stands for Non-Uniform Memory Access, in other words a system whose memory is not all in one place. The numactl program allows you to run your application program on specific CPUs and memory nodes. It does this by supplying a NUMA memory policy to the operating system before running your program.

The package contains other commands, such as numastat, memhog, and numademo which provides a quick overview of NUMA performance on your system.

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.

FBGrab is a framebuffer screenshot program that captures the Linux framebuffer and converts it to a PNG image. It can also convert a framebuffer dump file (copy) to a PNG image.

This package includes the important tools for controlling the network subsystem of the Linux kernel. This includes arp, ifconfig, netstat, rarp and route. Additionally, this package contains utilities relating to particular network hardware types (plipconfig, slattach) and advanced aspects of IP configuration (iptunnel, ipmaddr).

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.

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 a shell script to assess your system's resilience against the several transient execution CVEs that were published since early 2018, and gives guidance as to how to mitigate them.

Tools for loading and managing Linux kernel modules, such as modprobe, insmod, lsmod, and more.

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 inih (INI Not Invented Here) library is a simple .INI file parser written in C. It's only a couple of pages of code, and it was designed to be small and simple, so it's good for embedded systems. It's also more or less compatible with Python's ConfigParser style of .INI files, including RFC 822-style multi-line syntax and name: value entries.

This package provides two Linux kernel drivers, ddcci and ddcci-backlight, that allows the control of DDC/CI monitors through the sysfs interface. The ddcci module creates a character device for each DDC/CI monitors in /dev/bus/ddcci/[I²C busnumber]. While the ddcci-backlight module allows the control of the backlight level or luminance property when supported under /sys/class/backlight/.

efibootmgr is a user-space application to modify the Intel Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Boot Manager. This application can create and destroy boot entries, change the boot order, change the next running boot option, and more.

EROFS is a compressed, read-only file system optimized for resource-scarce devices. This package provides user-space tools for creating EROFS 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.

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

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

Procps is the package that has a bunch of small useful utilities that give information about processes using the Linux /proc file system. The package includes the programs free, pgrep, pidof, pkill, pmap, ps, pwdx, slabtop, tload, top, vmstat, w, watch and sysctl.

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.

Cramfs is a Linux file system designed to be simple, small, and to compress things well. It is used on a number of embedded systems and small devices. This version has additional features such as uncompressed blocks and random block placement.

Libbpf supports building BPF CO-RE-enabled applications, which, in contrast to BCC, do not require the Clang/LLVM runtime or linux kernel headers.

Libavc1394 is a programming interface to the AV/C specification from the 1394 Trade Association. AV/C stands for Audio/Video Control.
