Tool for converting the DAA files (Direct Access Archive, used by
PowerISO) to ISO9660.
daemonize is a command-line utility that runs a command as a Unix daemon. See
the accompanying man page for full details.
daemontools-encore is a collection of tools for managing UNIX services.
It is derived from the public-domain release of daemontools by D. J.
Bernstein. daemontools-encore adds numerous enhancements above what
daemontools could do while maintaining backwards compatibility with
daemontools. See the CHANGES file for more details on what features
have been added.
Daemontools is a small set of /very/ useful utilities, from Dan
Bernstein. They are mainly used for controlling processes, and
maintaining logfiles.
dar is a shell command that backs up directory trees and files. It has been
tested under Linux, Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, MacOS X and several
other systems, it is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Since version 2.0.0 an Application Interface (API) is available, opening the
way for external/independent Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) like kdar.
This API relies on the libdar library, which is the core part of DAR
programs; as such, the API is released under the GPL. Consequently, to use
the API, your program must be released under the GPL as well.
Dateutils are a collection of tools that revolve around manipulating
dates and times on the command line. Commands included in the suite
offer ways of converting dates between calendars, computing durations
between dates, and finding dates in input streams.
dd_rescue is a dd tool with following features suitable for rescuing data from
a medium with errors.
- Don't abort on errors on the input file unless the user specify the maximum
error number.
- Don't truncate the output file.
- Can use two different block sizes for normal operation and the case of errors.
- Can start from the end of the file and move backwards.
GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or
block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue
data in case of read errors. Ddrescue does not truncate the output file
if not asked to. So, every time you run it on the same output file, it
tries to fill in the gaps. The basic operation of ddrescue is fully
automatic. That is, you don't have to wait for an error, stop the
program, read the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If you use the
logfile feature of ddrescue, the data is rescued very efficiently (only
the needed blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any
time and resume it later at the same point.
Automatic merging of backups: If you have two or more damaged copies of
a file, cdrom, etc, and run ddrescue on all of them, one at a time,
with the same output file, you will probably obtain a complete and
error-free file. This is so because the probability of having damaged
areas at the same places on different input files is very low. Using
the logfile, only the needed blocks are read from the second and
successive copies.
