Rump (Runnable Userspace Meta Program) is a mechanism for running kernel code
as part of a user program's address space. As opposed to executing system calls
for requesting kernel services, rump programs do a library call into the kernel
code for equivalent functionality. Kernel code is simply recompiled as a
userspace shared library from the kernel sources instead of being rewritten,
so services imitate the same services being provided by the kernel. Select
architectures such as i386 and amd64 also support directly linking binary
kernel modules against rump programs.

Approximate matching searching utilities to search for manpages and files.
This package holds THREE little search utilities:
* whichman -- search utility for man pages and it works
much like the well known Unix command "where".
* ftff -- a fault tolerant file finder
ftff works like the whichman above but searches the directory
tree. This is a case in-sensitive and fault tolerant way of
'find . -name xxxx -print'
* ftwhich -- a fault tolerant "which" command
ftwhich finds files (programs) which are in one of the directories in
your PATH and uses a fault tolerant search algorithm.
