HFSExplorer is an application that can read Mac-formatted hard disks and disk
images. It can read the file systems HFS (Mac OS Standard), HFS+ (Mac OS
Extended) and HFSX (Mac OS Extended with case sensitive file names).
HFSExplorer allows you to browse your Mac volumes with a graphical file system
browser, extract files (copy to hard disk), view detailed information about the
volume and create disk images from the volume.
HFSExplorer can also read most .dmg disk images created on a Mac, including zlib
/ bzip2 compressed images and AES-128 encrypted images. It supports the
partition schemes Master Boot Record, GUID Partition Table and Apple Partition
Map natively.
This is a port of hourglass, a synthetic real-time application that
can be used to learn how CPU scheduling in a general-purpose operating
system works at microsecond and millisecond granularities.
- It creates very detailed map of when each Hourglass thread has
access to the CPU
- It supports multiple thread execution models; e.g. periodic and
CPU-bound
- It acts as an abstraction layer for threading, timing, and CPU
scheduling functionality on Unix- and Win32-based systems
Lookat is a program to view Un*x text files and manual pages.
HAL is a hardware abstraction layer whose goal is to merge information from
various sources such that desktop applications can locate and use hardware
devices. The point is that the exact set of information to merge varies by
device and bus type.
JDiskReport enables you to understand how much space the files
and directories consume on your disk drives, and it helps you
find obsolete files and folders.
ldapvi is tool to update LDAP entries with a text editor. It is:
- Written in C;
- Reasonably fast and small. The ldapvi client needs about as much time
for receiving entries as the OpenLDAP server needs to send them, which
should be fast enough;
- Shows a summary of changes before committing them. Details of the
changes can be previewed in LDIF format;
- Uses an LDIF-like format in the editor (which should be easier to use
interactively than standard LDIF);
- Can rename entries;
- Does not give up easily. On error, you can edit the file again, or
rebind to the server and try again.
This CDDA reader distribution reads audio from the
CDROM directly as data, with no analog step between, and writes the
data to a file or pipe as .wav, .aifc or as raw 16 bit linear PCM.
The libcdio package contains a library which encapsulates CD-ROM reading
and control. Applications wishing to be oblivious of the OS- and
device-dependant properties of a CD-ROM can use this library.
This library comes from the gksu program. It provides a simple API to use su
and sudo in programs that need to execute tasks as other user. It provides X
authentication facilities for running programs in a X session.
mapchan - A program which allows you to transform the input and output
of a terminal (including a serial port terminal). It is useful when:
* You need to work with various encodings on various virtual
terminals
* You have an assortment of terminals, not one of which supports
your favorite encoding.
This software is an incomplete implementation of the functionality of
the utility "mapchan" of SCO Unix.
