CPU is an LDAP user management tool written in C and loosely based
on FreeBSD's pw(8). The goal of CPU is to be a suitable replacement
of the useradd/usermod/userdel utilities for administrators using
an LDAP backend and wishing to have a suite of command line tools
for doing the administration.
The cpulimit program throttles back a process's CPU usage. This allows the
user to slow down jobs that would otherwise choke the processor. It is also
helpful on laptops where we want to avoid generating a lot of heat.

The fileschanged utility is a client to the FAM (File Alteration Monitor)
server that is now available in some distributions. Here's how the fileschanged
FAM client works: you give it some filenames on the command line and then it
monitors those files for changes. When it discovers that a file has changed
(or has been altered), it displays the filename on the standard-output.

fnteditfs is a small, simple font editor, designed for editing FreeBSD's
syscons and Linux fonts (but may also work for other OSes). It's written
in C, using the ncurses library for its display library.
This is a port of detox, which is a program that renames files to make them
easier to work with under Unix and related operating systems. Spaces and
various other unsafe characters (such as "$") get replaced with "_". ISO
8859-1 (Latin-1) characters can be replaced as well, as can UTF-8 characters.
Disktype detects the content format of a disk, device, or disk image.
It knows about common file systems, partition tables, and boot codes.
Duff is a Unix command-line utility written in C for quickly finding
duplicates in a given set of files.
CurlFtpFS is a filesystem for accessing FTP hosts based on FUSE and
