LVM2 is the logical volume management tool set for Linux-based systems. This package includes the user-space libraries and tools, including the device mapper. Kernel components are part of Linux-libre.

inputattach dispatches input events from several device types and interfaces and translates so that the X server can use them.

NTFS-3G provides read-write access to NTFS file systems, which are commonly found on Microsoft Windows. It is implemented as a FUSE file system. The package provides additional NTFS tools.

This package provides many of the missing pieces in GNU libc. Most notably the string functions: strlcpy(3), strlcat(3) and the *BSD sys/queue.h and sys/tree.h API's.

As a consequence of its monolithic design, file system code for Linux normally goes into the kernel itself---which is not only a robustness issue, but also an impediment to system extensibility. FUSE, for "file systems in user space", is a kernel module and user-space library that tries to address part of this problem by allowing users to run file system implementations as user-space processes.

Nvme-cli is a utility to provide standards compliant tooling for NVM-Express drives. It was made specifically for Linux as it relies on the IOCTLs defined by the mainline kernel driver.

This package provides hardware definitions and C headers for use by the Linux driver and by user-space applications for the Cassini/Slingshot high-speed network interconnect made by HPE (formerly Cray). User-land software uses cxi_prov_hw.h from this package.

The tool conntrack provides a full featured interface that is intended to replace the old /proc/net/ip_conntrack interface. Using conntrack, you can view and manage the in-kernel connection tracking state table from userspace. On the other hand, conntrackd covers the specific aspects of stateful firewalls to enable highly available scenarios, and can be used as statistics collector as well.

Since 1.2.0, the conntrack-tools includes the nfct command line utility. This utility only supports the nfnetlink_cttimeout by now. In the long run, we expect that it will replace conntrack by providing a syntax similar to nftables.

This package provides a Linux tool for controlling a PS5 DualSense controller. It has to be already connected via USB or connected via Bluetooth.

pflask is a simple tool for creating Linux namespace containers. It can be used for running a command or even booting an OS inside an isolated container, created with the help of Linux namespaces. It is similar in functionality to chroot, although pflask provides better isolation thanks to the use of namespaces.

Kmod is a set of tools to handle common tasks with Linux kernel modules like insert, remove, list, check properties, resolve dependencies and aliases.

These tools are designed on top of libkmod, a library that is shipped with kmod. The aim is to be compatible with tools, configurations and indices from the module-init-tools project.

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.

ipvsadm(8) is used to set up, maintain or inspect the virtual server table in the Linux kernel. The Linux Virtual Server can be used to build scalable network services based on a cluster of two or more nodes.

The inotify-tools packages provides a C library and command-line tools to use Linux' inotify mechanism, which allows file accesses to be monitored.

BCC is a toolkit for creating efficient kernel tracing and manipulation programs, and includes several useful tools and examples. It makes use of extended BPF (Berkeley Packet Filters), formally known as eBPF, a new feature that was first added to Linux 3.15. Much of what BCC uses requires Linux 4.1 and above.

Udev is a daemon which dynamically creates and removes device nodes from /dev/, handles hotplug events and loads drivers at boot time.

This package provides userspace helpers for memory error detection and correction (EDAC).

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.

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.

Libmnl is a minimalistic user-space library oriented to Netlink developers. There are a lot of common tasks in parsing, validating, constructing of both the Netlink header and TLVs that are repetitive and easy to get wrong. This library aims to provide simple helpers that allows you to re-use code and to avoid re-inventing the wheel.

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.

This library parses raw Linux kernel trace event formats.

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.

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