CONTENTS: etc fileutls gpm grep hdsetup ldso etc: System configuration files that go into the /etc directory. etc: etc: The /etc directory is traditionally the location where configuration etc: files and administration binaries are found. Under Linux, the binaries etc: have been moved out of the /etc directory and into the /sbin etc: directory; the /etc directory is now reserved for configuration files etc: only. etc: etc: etc: etc: fileutls: fileutils-3.16 fileutls: fileutls: These are the GNU file management utilities. Most of these programs fileutls: have significant advantages over their Unix counterparts, such as fileutls: greater speed, additional options, and fewer arbitrary limits. fileutls: fileutls: These utilities are included: chgrp chmod chown cp dd df dircolors fileutls: du ginstall ln ls mkdir mkfifo mknod mv rm rmdir sync touch fileutls: fileutls: fileutls: gpm: General purpose mouse support v1.14 gpm: gpm: This program is based on the 'selection' package, and allows you to gpm: use the mouse to cut and paste text from the screen. It also acts as gpm: a mouse server for applications running on the Linux console, such as gpm: the Midnight Commander file manager and dialog. gpm: gpm: NOTE: This program may cause problems when you start X on systems gpm: that do not use a serial mouse. If you get an 'unable to open mouse gpm: device' error from X, remove gpm from /etc/rc.d/rc.local. gpm: grep: GNU grep 2.1 grep: grep: Grep searches the named input files (or standard input if no files are grep: named, or the file name - is given) for lines containing a match to grep: the given pattern. This is the 'fastest grep in the west' (we hope). grep: grep: grep: grep: grep: grep: hdsetup: The Slackware setup/package maintenance system v. 3.5.0 hdsetup: hdsetup: The full screen and tty versions of setup and pkgtool, two utilities hdsetup: included with Slackware that allow you to easily install software hdsetup: packages, remove software packages, and review the installed software hdsetup: packages. hdsetup: hdsetup: Also contains the command line utilities 'installpkg', 'removepkg', hdsetup: 'makepkg', and 'explodepkg' that install, remove, build, and examine hdsetup: software packages. Man pages are included for all of these utilities. hdsetup: ldso: ld.so 1.9.9, the dynamic linker/loader. ldso: ldso: ld.so completes the final process of linking all necessary references ldso: to sharable objects and unreferenced symbols in an impure executable, ldso: (usually a dynamically linked executable), to produce a runnable file. ldso: Nearly all Linux binaries are 'incomplete' and require further linking ldso: at run time. ld.so's job is thus to complete the linking process ldso: started at compilation. ld.so was written by David Engel, ldso: Eric Youngdale, Peter MacDonald, Hongjiu Lu, Linus Torvalds, ldso: Lars Wirzenius and Mitch D'Souza. ldso:
