Tar provides the ability to create tar archives, as well as the ability to extract, update or list files in an existing archive. It is useful for combining many files into one larger file, while maintaining directory structure and file information such as permissions and creation/modification dates. GNU tar offers many extensions over the standard utility.

GNU Coreutils package includes all of the basic command-line tools that are expected in a POSIX system, excluding shell. This package is the union of the GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages. Most of these tools offer extended functionality beyond that which is outlined in the POSIX standard.

Bash is the shell, or command-line interpreter, of the GNU system. It is compatible with the Bourne Shell, but it also integrates useful features from the Korn Shell and the C Shell and new improvements of its own. It allows command-line editing, unlimited command history, shell functions and aliases, and job control while still allowing most sh scripts to be run without modification.

This package provides extensions that allow Bash to provide adapted completion for many common commands.

bash_unit allows you to write unit tests, run them and, in case of failure, display the stack trace with source file and line number indications to locate the problem.

Bash-ctypes is a Bash plugin that provides a foreign function interface (FFI) directly in your shell. In other words, it allows you to call routines in shared libraries from within Bash.

Bash is the shell, or command-line interpreter, of the GNU system. This variant logs the history to syslog.

Bash TAP is a TAP-compliant Test::More-style testing library for Bash shell scripts and functions. Along with the Test::More-style testing helpers it provides helper functions for mocking commands and in-process output capturing.

Bats is a TAP-compliant testing framework for Bash. It provides a simple way to verify that the UNIX programs you write behave as expected. Bats is most useful when testing software written in Bash, but you can use it to test any UNIX program.

Bash Line Editor (ble.sh) is a command line editor written in pure Bash which replaces the default GNU Readline. It adds syntax highlighting, auto suggestions, vim modes, and more to Bash interactive sessions.

This package provides a SVG interface.

This package provides a SAC interface by the W3C. SAC is an interface for CSS parsers.

Batik is a Java-based toolkit for applications or applets that want to use images in the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format for various purposes, such as display, generation or manipulation.

This package provides a SVG 1.0 interface.

This package provides a SAC interface by the W3C. SAC is an interface for CSS parsers.

This package provides XMLGraphics constants (originally from batik).

The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It allows you to allocate memory basically as you normally would, without explicitly deallocating memory that is no longer useful. The collector automatically recycles memory when it determines that it can no longer be otherwise accessed.

The collector is also used by a number of programming language implementations that either use C as intermediate code, want to facilitate easier interoperation with C libraries, or just prefer the simple collector interface.

Alternatively, the garbage collector may be used as a leak detector for C or C++ programs, though that is not its primary goal.

This C library provides semi-portable access to hardware-provided atomic memory update operations on a number of architectures. These might allow you to write code that does more interesting things in signal handlers, write lock-free code, experiment with thread programming paradigms, etc.

Bonnie++ is a benchmark suite that is aimed at performing a number of simple tests of hard drive and file system performance. Bonnie++ allows you to benchmark how your file systems perform with respect to data read and write speed, the number of seeks that can be performed per second, and the number of file metadata operations that can be performed per second.
