A set of basic GNU tools commonly used in shell scripts
These are the GNU core utilities. This package is the combination of the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.
Bash is the GNU Project's shell. Bash is the Bourne Again SHell. Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). It is intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools standard. It offers functional improvements over sh for both programming and interactive use. In addition, most sh scripts can be run by Bash without modification.
The software RAID arrays user manage tools
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.
The GNU version of the AWK text processing utility
The gawk package is the GNU implementation of awk. The awk utility interprets a special-purpose programming language that makes it possible to handle simple data-reformatting jobs with just a few lines of code.
A tool for monitoring the progress of data through a pipeline
PV ("Pipe Viewer") is a tool for monitoring the progress of data through a pipeline. It can be inserted into any normal pipeline between two processes to give a visual indication of how quickly data is passing through, how long it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate of how long it will be until completion.
A free general-purpose data compreession software with LZMA2 algorithm
XZ Utils is free general-purpose data compression software with a high compression ratio. XZ Utils were written for POSIX-like systems, but also work on some not-so-POSIX systems. XZ Utils are the successor to LZMA Utils. The core of the XZ Utils compression code is based on LZMA SDK, but it has been modified quite a lot to be suitable for XZ Utils. The primary compression algorithm is currently LZMA2, which is used inside the .xz container format. With typical files, XZ Utils create 30% smaller output than gzip and 15% smaller output than bzip2.
kexec-tools provides /sbin/kexec binary that facilitates a new kernel to boot using the kernel's kexec feature either on a normal or a panic reboot. This package contains the /sbin/kexec binary and ancillary utilities that together form the userspace component of the kernel's kexec feature.
Grep searches one or more input files for lines containing a match to a specified pattern. By default, Grep outputs the matching lines.
The GNU disk partition manipulation program
The GNU Parted program allows you to create, destroy, resize, move, and copy hard disk partitions. Parted can be used for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data to new hard disks.
Utility used to conveniently set up disk encryption
cryptsetup is a utility used to conveniently set up disk encryption based on the DMCrypt kernel module.
Btrfs-progs provide userspace utilities to manage btrfs filesystem, including repairing, modifying, creating etc.
Administration and debugging tools for the XFS file system
xfsprogs are the userspace utilities that manage XFS filesystems.
The util-linux package contains a random collection of files that implements some low-level basic linux utilities.
Manages logical devices that use the device-mapper driver.
Second extended file system management tools
The e2fsprogs package consists of a lot of tools for users to create, check, modify, and correct any inconsistencies in second extended file system.
GPT fdisk(consisting of the gdisk,sgdisk,cgdisk) is a set of text-mode partitioning tools
GPT fdisk(consisting of the gdisk,sgdisk,cgdisk) is a set of text-mode partitioning tools. rather than on the older MBR partition tables.
lvm2 refers to the userspace toolset that provide logical volume management facilities on linux.
An arbitrary precision numeric processing language.
bc is an arbitrary precision numeric processing language. Syntax is similar to C, but differs in many substantial areas. It supports interactive execution of statements. bc is a utility included in the POSIX P1003.2/D11 draft standard.
ISO-9660 and Rock Ridge image manipulation tool
Xorriso is a program which copies file objects from POSIX compliant filesystems into Rock Ridge enhanced ISO-9660 filesystems and allows session-wise manipulation of such filesystems. It can load management information of existing ISO images and it writes the session results to optical media or to filesystem objects. Vice versa xorriso is able to copy file objects out of ISO-9660 filesystems. Filesystem manipulation capabilities surpass those of mkisofs. Xorriso is especially suitable for backups, because of its high fidelity of file attribute recording and its incremental update sessions. Optical supported media: CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, BD-R and BD-RE.
A utility which displays dialog boxes from shell scripts
Dialog is a program that will let you present a variety of questions or display messages using dialog boxes from a shell script. These types of dialog boxes are implemented (though not all are necessarily com- piled into dialog): buildlist, calendar, checklist, dselect, editbox, form, fselect, gauge, infobox, inputbox, inputmenu, menu, mixedform, mixedgauge, msgbox (message), passwordbox, passwordform, pause, prgbox, programbox, progressbox, radiolist, rangebox, tailbox, tailboxbg, textbox, timebox, treeview, and yesno (yes/no).
Curl is used in command lines or scripts to transfer data
cURL is a computer software project providing a library (libcurl) and command-line tool (curl) for transferring data using various protocols.
dracut contains tools to create bootable initramfses for the Linux kernel. Unlike previous implementations, dracut hard-codes as little as possible into the initramfs. dracut contains various modules which are driven by the event-based udev. Having root on MD, DM, LVM2, LUKS is supported as well as NFS, iSCSI, NBD, FCoE with the dracut-network package.
