The libnl suite is a collection of libraries providing APIs to netlink protocol based Linux kernel interfaces. Netlink is an IPC mechanism primarily between the kernel and user space processes. It was designed to be a more flexible successor to ioctl to provide mainly networking related kernel configuration and monitoring interfaces.

F2FS, the Flash-Friendly File System, is a modern file system designed to be fast and durable on flash devices such as solid-state disks and SD cards. This package provides the userland utilities.

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.

Powerstat measures and reports your computer's power consumption in real time. On mobile PCs, it uses ACPI battery information to measure the power drain of the entire system.

Powerstat can also report RAPL power domain measurements. These are available only on some hardware such as Intel Sandybridge and newer, and cover only part of the machine's components such as CPU, DRAM, and graphics. However, they provide accurate and immediate readings and don't require a battery at all.

The output is like vmstat but also shows power consumption statistics: at the end of a run, powerstat will calculate the average, standard deviation, and minimum and maximum values. It can show a nice histogram too.

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.

This package contains keytable files and keyboard utilities compatible for systems using the Linux kernel. This includes commands such as loadkeys, setfont, kbdinfo, and chvt.

Light is a program to send commands to screen backlight controllers under GNU/Linux. Features include:

• It does not rely on X.

• Light can automatically figure out the best controller to use, making full use of underlying hardware.

• It is possible to set a minimum brightness value, as some controllers set the screen to be pitch black at a value of 0 (or higher).

fbcat saves the contents of the Linux framebuffer (/dev/fb*), or a dump thereof. It supports a wide range of drivers and pixel formats.

fbcat can take screenshots of virtually any application that can be made to write its output to the framebuffer, including (but not limited to) text-mode or graphical applications that don't use a display server.

Also included is fbgrab, a wrapper around fbcat that emulates the behaviour of Gunnar Monell's older fbgrab utility.

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.

This package provides a C port of NoteBook FanControl (NBFC), a fan control service for notebooks. It provides the same utilities with the same interfaces as the original NBFC, although the implementation differs.

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. Configuration options and patches have been applied for use with MNT/Reform systems.

Utilities for Linux's Ethernet bridging facilities. A bridge is a way to connect two Ethernet segments together in a protocol independent way. Packets are forwarded based on Ethernet address, rather than IP address (like a router). Since forwarding is done at Layer 2, all protocols can go transparently through a bridge.

This package provides a Linux Kernel module that controls battery charging of specific ThinkPad laptops. It also includes an improved version of the HDAPS driver. The underlying hardware interfaces are SMAPI and direct access to the embedded controller.

This simple Linux kernel module allows calls from user space to any ACPI method provided by your computer's firmware, by writing to /proc/acpi/call. You can pass any number of parameters of types ACPI_INTEGER, ACPI_STRING, and ACPI_BUFFER.

It grants direct and undocumented access to your hardware that may cause damage and should be used with caution, especially on untested models.

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

Early OOM is a minimalist out of memory (OOM) daemon that runs in user space and provides a more responsive and configurable alternative to the in-kernel OOM killer.

This package provides statically-linked e2fsck command taken from the e2fsprogs package. It is meant to be used in initrds.

Kbd-neo provides the Neo2 keyboard layout for use with loadkeys(1) from kbd(4).

rfkill is a simple tool for accessing the rfkill device interface, which is used to enable and disable wireless networking devices, typically WLAN, Bluetooth and mobile broadband.
