Package moreutils
Additional unix utilities
https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/
This is a growing collection of the unix tools that nobody thought
to write thirty years ago.
So far, it includes the following utilities:
- chronic: runs a command quietly, unless it fails
- combine: combine the lines in two files using boolean operations
- errno: look up errno names and descriptions
- ifdata: get network interface info without parsing ifconfig output
- ifne: run a program if the standard input is not empty
- isutf8: check if a file or standard input is utf-8
- lckdo: execute a program with a lock held
- mispipe: pipe two commands, returning the exit status of the first
- parallel: run multiple jobs at once (contained in moreutils-parallel
sub package)
- pee: tee standard input to pipes
- sponge: soak up standard input and write to a file
- ts: timestamp standard input
- vidir: edit a directory in your text editor
- vipe: insert a text editor into a pipe
- zrun: automatically uncompress arguments to commandVersion: 0.68
