Grammalecte is a grammar checker for the French language, derived from Lightproof.

Grammalecte helps writing a proper French, without distracting users with false positives. This grammar checker follows the principle: the less false positives, the better; if it cannot know with a good chance that a dubious expression is wrong, it keeps silent.

The package provides the command line interface, along with a server and a Python library.

FreeDict is a project that offers over 140 free dictionaries in about 45 languages, with the right to study, change and modify them. You can use them offline on your computer or mobile phone and export them to any format and application.

In order to limit store size and build complexity, only the build targets that build dictionaries in dictd format are retained when this Guix package is installed.

Lttoolbox is a toolbox for lexical processing, morphological analysis and generation of words. Analysis is the process of splitting a word (e.g. cats) into its lemma "cat" and the grammatical information <n><pl>. Generation is the opposite process.

Apertium is a rule based machine translation system featuring a shallow-transfer machine translation engine. The design of the system makes translations fast (translating tens of thousands of words per second on ordinary desktop computers) and, in spite of the errors, reasonably intelligible and easily correctable.

A package providing two classic Unix commands, style and diction. Diction is used to identify wordy and commonly misused phrases in a body of text. Style instead analyzes surface aspects of a written work, such as sentence length and other readability measures.

This is a client for the remote diffoscope service.

Diffoscope tries to get to the bottom of what makes files or directories different. It recursively unpacks archives of many kinds and transforms various binary formats into more human readable forms to compare them. It can compare two tarballs, ISO images, or PDFs just as easily.

Results are displayed by default, stored as local text or html files, or made available via a URL on https://try.diffoscope.org. Results stored on the server are purged after 30 days.

Reprotest builds the same source code twice in different environments, and then checks the binaries produced by each build for differences. If any are found, then diffoscope or diff is used to display them in detail for later analysis.

Diffoscope tries to get to the bottom of what makes files or directories different. It recursively unpacks archives of many kinds and transforms various binary formats into more human readable forms to compare them. It can compare two tarballs, ISO images, or PDFs just as easily.

Diffoscope has many optional dependencies; diffoscope --list-missing-tools guix will display optional packages to install.

This package provides a portable hash function and random number generator suitable for use in data structures. Provided by default in Zig, V, and Nim programming language standard libraries.

This package provides Python bindings for the xxHash hash algorithm.

xxHash is an extremely fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm. It works at speeds close to RAM limits, and comes in both 32- and 64-bit flavours. The code is highly portable, and hashes of the same length are identical on all platforms (both big and little endian).

F3 (Fight Flash Fraud or Fight Fake Flash) tests the full capacity of a flash card (flash drive, flash disk, pendrive). F3 writes to the card and then checks if can read it. It will assure you haven't been sold a card with a smaller capacity than stated.

GParted is a GNOME partition editor for creating, reorganizing, and deleting disk partitions. It uses libparted from the parted project to detect and manipulate partition tables. Optional file system tools permit managing file systems not included in libparted.

GNU ddrescue is a fully automated data recovery tool. It copies data from one file to another, working to rescue data in case of read errors. The program also includes a tool for manipulating its log files, which are used to recover data more efficiently by only reading the necessary blocks.

GNU Parted is a package for creating and manipulating disk partition tables. It includes a library and command-line utility.

findimagedupes compares a list of files for visual similarity.

rmlint finds space waste and other broken things on your file system and offers to remove it. rmlint can find:

• duplicate files and duplicate directories,

• non-stripped binaries (i.e. binaries with debug symbols),

• broken symbolic links,

• empty files and directories,

• files with broken user and/or group ID.

Duc maintains a database of accumulated sizes of directories of the file system, and allows you to query this database with some tools, or create fancy graphs showing you where your bytes are.

Duc comes with console utilities, ncurses and X11 user interfaces and a CGI wrapper for disk usage querying and visualisation.

QDirStat is a graphical application to show where your disk space has gone and to help you to clean it up.

Gpart tries to guess the partitions on a PC-style, MBR-partitioned disk after they have been inadvertently deleted or the primary partition table at sector 0 damaged. In both cases, the contents of these partitions still exist on the disk but the operating system cannot access them.

Gpart ignores the partition table and scans each sector of the device or image file for several known file system and partition types. Only partitions which have been formatted in some way can be recognized. Several file system guessing modules are built in; more can be written and loaded at run time.

The guessed table can be restored manually, for example with fdisk, written to a file, or---if you firmly believe it's entirely correct---directly to disk.

It should be stressed that gpart does a very heuristic job. It can easily be right in its guesswork but it can also be terribly wrong. Never believe its output without any plausibility checks.

GNU fdisk provides a GNU version of the common disk partitioning tool fdisk. fdisk is used for the creation and manipulation of disk partition tables, and it understands a variety of different formats.

This package provides parted bindings for Python.

hdparm is a command-line utility to control ATA controllers and disk drives. It can increase performance and/or reliability by careful tuning of hardware settings like power and acoustic management, DMA modes, and caching. It can also display detailed device information, or be used as a simple performance benchmarking tool.

hdparm provides a command line interface to various Linux kernel interfaces provided by the SATA/ATA/SAS libata subsystem, and the older IDE driver subsystem. Many external USB drive enclosures with SCSI-ATA Command Translation (SAT) are also supported.

This software supports RAID device discovery, RAID set activation, creation, removal, rebuild and display of properties for ATARAID/DDF1 metadata.

dmraid uses libdevmapper and the device-mapper kernel runtime to create devices with respective mappings for the ATARAID sets discovered.
