The SBC is a digital audio encoder and decoder used to transfer data to Bluetooth audio output devices like headphones or loudspeakers.

mdadm is a tool for managing Linux Software RAID arrays. It can create, assemble, report on, and monitor arrays. It can also move spares between raid arrays when needed.

This program allows you read and control device brightness. Devices include backlight and LEDs. It can also preserve current brightness before applying the operation, such as on lid close.

The appropriate permissions must be set on the backlight or LED control interface in sysfs, which can be accomplished with the included udev rules.

Libevdi is a library that gives applications easy access to EVDI devices provided by the evdi driver package.

This is the Linux driver for the Cray/HPE Cassini 1 and 2 high-speed network interconnect (aka. Slingshot), and its Ethernet driver. It includes the uapi/misc/cxi.h C header file for use by user-land software.

Currently the Linux driver itself is missing from this package.

iucode_tool is a utility to work with microcode packages for Intel processors. It can convert between formats, extract specific versions, create a firmware image suitable for the Linux kernel, and more.

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.

Wireless Tools are used to manipulate the now-deprecated Linux Wireless Extensions; consider using iw instead. The Wireless Extension was an interface allowing you to set Wireless LAN specific parameters and get the specific stats. It is deprecated in favor the nl80211 interface.

This library enables userspace to use Linux kernel asynchronous I/O system calls, important for the performance of databases and other advanced applications.

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.

Headers of the Linux-Libre kernel.

Prevents shock damage to the internal spinning hard drive(s) of some HP and Dell laptops. When sudden movement is detected, all input/output operations on the drive are suspended and its heads are parked on the ramp, where they are less likely to cause damage to the spinning disc. Requires a drive that supports the ATA/ATAPI-7 IDLE IMMEDIATE command with unload feature, and a laptop with an accelerometer. It has no effect on SSDs.

The libseccomp library provides an easy to use, platform independent, interface to the Linux Kernel's syscall filtering mechanism. The libseccomp API is designed to abstract away the underlying BPF based syscall filter language and present a more conventional function-call based filtering interface that should be familiar to, and easily adopted by, application developers.

This package provides means to to read BitLocker encrypted partitions. Write functionality is also provided but check the README.

The cpufrequtils suite contains utilities to retrieve CPU frequency information, and set the CPU frequency if supported, using the cpufreq capabilities of the Linux kernel.

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.

Utility to detect differences between two audio files, encoded with SBC.

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.

bpftool allows for inspection and simple modification of BPF objects on the system.

This package provides small event loop that wraps the epoll family of APIs.

perf is a tool suite for profiling using hardware performance counters, with support in the Linux kernel. perf can instrument CPU performance counters, tracepoints, kprobes, and uprobes (dynamic tracing). It is capable of lightweight profiling. This package contains the user-land tools and in particular the perf command.

These are a set of utilities built upon sysfs, a virtual file system in Linux kernel versions 2.5+ that exposes a system's device tree. The package also contains the libsysfs library.

Aumix adjusts an audio mixer from X, the console, a terminal, the command line or a script.
