libcpuid is a small C library for x86 CPU detection and feature extraction.
Using it, you can:
- Get the processor vendor, model, brand string, code name, etc.
- Get information about CPU features such as: number of cores or logical
CPUs, cache sizes, CPU clock, etc.
- Check if the processor implements a specific instruction set such as
SSE2 or 3DNow!
- Execute the CPUID and RDTSC instructions in a portable way
- And have this all in your commercial application, without getting into
trouble, due to permissive license
Reference utility (rather advanced and useful on its own) is also provided.
cw is a non-intrusive real-time ANSI color wrapper for common Unix-based
command.
cw is designed to simulate the environment of the commands being
executed, so that if a person types 'du', 'df', 'ping', etc. in their
shell it will automatically color the output in real-time according to
a definition file containing the color format desired. cw has support
for wildcard match coloring, tokenized coloring, headers/footers, case
scenario coloring, command line dependent definition coloring, and
includes over 50 pre-made definition files.
bbapm is an APM meter for Blackbox, designed to be a part of the
Blackbox Slit, although it will still function as a stand-alone
tool.
Cronic is a small shim shell script for wrapping cron jobs so that cron only
sends email when an error has occurred. Cronic defines an error as any
non-trace error output or a non-zero result code. Cronic filters Bash
execution traces (or anything matching PS4) from the error output, so jobs can
be run with execution tracing to aid forensic debugging.
Very lightweight program to report the status of logical drives on Smart Array
controllers ciss(4).
direnv is an environment switcher for the shell. It knows how to hook into
bash, zsh, tcsh and fish shell to load or unload environment variables
depending on the current directory. This allows to have project-specific
environment variables and not clutter the "~/.profile" file.
djmount is a UPnP AV client. It mounts as a Linux filesystem the media
content of compatible UPnP AV devices.
Djmount discovers automatically all UPnP AV Media Servers on the network,
and make the content available in a directory tree. All shared files
(e.g. Audio or Video files) are directly visible and can be played using
your favorite media player.
djmount is written in C for the Linux operating system.
It is free software, licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public
License (GNU GPL).
Duply is a shell front end for the duplicity backup tool.
It greatly simplifies its usage by implementing backup
job profiles, batch commands and more. Who says secure
backups on non-trusted spaces are no child's play.
dvdbackup is a tool to rip video DVDs from the command line. It has the
advantages of being small, fast, and easy to use.
The dvdisaster project:
dvdisaster provides a margin of safety against data loss on CD and DVD media
caused by aging or scratches.
* dvdisaster creates error correction data to compensate read errors which
are not correctable in the CD/DVD drive.
* dvdisaster tries to read as much data as possible from defective media.
Afterwards unreadable sectors are recovered using the previously created
error correction data. The maximum error correction capacity is
user-selectable.
* dvdisaster operates at the image level and does not depend on the file
system.
If you create the error correction data in time and keep it at a safe place,
you have a good chance of recovering the medium contents from typical read
errors and to transfer your complete data onto a new medium.
