Grsync is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for rsync, the commandline directory
and file synchronization tool. It can be effectively used to synchronize local
directories and it supports remote targets as well (even though it doesn't
support browsing the remote folder). Sample uses of grsync include: synchronize
a music collection with removable devices, backup personal files to a networked
drive, replication of a partition to another one, mirroring of files, etc.

A shell utility to access and tune the ioctl features of the Linux IDE
driver and IDE drives.

A tool for looking at the ICMP messages received on the running host.

indent can be used to make code easier to read. It can also convert
from one style of writing C code to another. indent understands a
substantial amount of C syntax, but it also tries to cope with
incomplete and malformed syntax.

less is a text file browser and pager similar to more. It allows
backward as well as forward movement within a file. Also, less does not
have to read the entire input file before starting. It is possible to
start an editor at any time from within less.

Lib3ds is a free alternative to Autodesk's 3DS File Toolkit for
handling 3DS files. Its main goal is to simplify the creation of 3DS
import and export filters.

Expat is an XML 1.0 parser written in C. It aims to be fully
conformant. It is currently not a validating XML processor. The current
production version of expat can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip. The directory xmltok contains a
low-level library for tokenizing XML. The interface is documented in
xmltok/xmltok.h. The directory xmlparse contains an XML parser library
that is built on top of the xmltok library. The interface is documented
in xmlparse/xmlparse.h. The directory sample contains a simple example
program using this interface. The directory sample/build.bat is a batch
file to build the example using Visual C++. The directory xmlwf
contains the xmlwf application, which uses the xmlparse library. The
arguments to xmlwf are one or more files to check for well-formedness.
An option -d dir can be specified. For each well-formed input file, the
corresponding canonical XML is written to dir/f, where f is the
filename (without any path) of the input file. A -x option causes
references to external general entities to be processed. A -s option
makes documents that are not stand-alone cause an error (a document is
considered stand-alone if it is intrinsically stand-alone because it
has no external subset and no references to parameter entities in the
internal subset or it is declared as stand-alone in the XML
declaration).

Libmcrypt is a data encryption library. The library is thread safe
and provides encryption and decryption functions. This version of the
library supports many encryption algorithms and encryption modes.
Supported algorithms include SERPENT, RIJNDAEL, 3DES, GOST, SAFER+,
CAST-256, RC2, XTEA, 3WAY, TWOFISH, BLOWFISH, ARC. FOUR, and WAKE.

This package contains the MAKEDEV script, which makes it easy to create
and maintain the files in the /dev directory.

You do not need this script on SUSE Linux, but it is needed for FHS
2.1.

A replacement for the old unix crypt(1) command. Mcrypt uses the
following encryption (block) algorithms: BLOWFISH, DES, TripleDES,
3-WAY, SAFER-SK64, SAFER-SK128, CAST-128, RC2 TEA (extended), TWOFISH,
RC6, IDEA, and GOST. The Unix crypt algorithm is also included to allow
compatibility with the crypt(1) command. CBC, ECB, OFB, and CFB modes
of encryption are supported.

The mjpegtools allow for capture, playback, processing, and simple
editing of MJPEG AV data. The hardware I/O applications are intended
for use with Zoran MJPEG framegrabber-based hardware (see the
zoran-driver package), but the processing tools can be used with MJPEG
data from other sources as well.

Mtr is a network diagnostic tool that combines Ping and Traceroute into
one program. This package contains the mtr version with an ncurses
interface, in other words, the text mode version is usable in a shell
(telnet or SSH session, for example).

Find the graphical version in the mtr-gtk package.

ncdu (NCurses Disk Usage) is a curses-based version of
the well-known 'du', and provides a fast way to see what
directories are using your disk space.

GNU Parted is a program for creating, destroying, resizing, checking,
and copying partitions, and the file systems on them.

Pth is a very portable POSIX/ANSI-C based library for Unix platforms
which provides non-preemptive priority-based scheduling for multiple
threads of execution ("multithreading") inside server applications. All
threads run in the same address space of the server application, but
each thread has it's own individual program-counter, run-time stack,
signal mask and errno variable.

Remind is a sophisticated calendar and alarm program.
It includes the following features:

* A sophisticated scripting language and intelligent
handling of exceptions and holidays.
* Plain-text, PostScript and HTML output.
* Timed reminders and pop-up alarms.
* A friendly graphical front-end for people who don't
want to learn the scripting language.
* Facilities for both the Gregorian and Hebrew calendars.
* Support for 12 different languages.

This package contains a large variety of low-level system utilities
that are necessary for a Linux system to function. It contains the
mount program, the fdisk configuration tool, and more.

This is a new whois (RFC 954) client rewritten from scratch by Marco
d'Itri. It is derived from and compatible with the usual BSD and RIPE
whois(1) programs. It is intelligent and can automatically select the
appropriate whois server for most queries. This package also contains
mkpasswd, a simple front-end to crypt(3).

Wyrd is a text-based front-end to Remind, a sophisticated calendar and alarm
program. Remind's power lies in its programmability, and Wyrd does not hide
this capability behind flashy GUI dialogs. Rather, Wyrd is designed to make you
more efficient at editing your reminder files directly. It also offers a
scrollable timetable suitable for visualizing your schedule at a glance.

Unlike most of the calendar applications available today, Wyrd is designed to
be both lightweight and fast. Startup time is negligible, UI navigation is
instantaneous, and the wyrd process typically consumes less than 2MB of
resident memory.

A reasonable way to achieve a long term backup of OpenPGP (GnuPG, PGP, etc)
keys is to print them out on paper. Paper and ink have amazingly long retention
qualities - far longer than the magnetic or optical means that are generally
used to back up computer data.

nmzmail is a tool to use the namazu search engine from within the mutt mail
client to search mail stored in maildir folders. Based on the result of the
namazu query, nmzmail generates a maildir folder containing symbolic links
to the mails matching the query. A simple mutt macro makes easy to use
nmzmail from within mutt.

t-prot detects and, when demanded, hides annoying parts in rfc822
messages: TOFU (see below), huge quoted blocks, signatures (especially
when they are too long), excessive punctuation, blocks of empty lines,
and trailing spaces and tabs. For use inside of MTAs or MDAs, it may
exit with appropriate libc exit codes, so annoying messages may be
bounced easily.

TOFU is an abbreviation that mixes German and English words. It expands
to "text oben, full-quote unten" that means "text above - full quote
below" and describes the style of many users who let their mailer or
newsreader quote everything of the previous message and just add some
text at the top.

Todo is a program to display and manage a hierarchical, prioritised list of
outstanding work, or just reminders.

The program itself is assisted by a few shell scripts that override default
builtins. Specifically, cd, pushd and popd are overridden so that when using
one of these commands to enter a directory, the todo will display any
outstanding items in that directory.

For much more complete information please refer to the man page (devtodo(1)).
