1 This is a collection of the unix tools that nobody thought to write
2 long ago, when unix was young. Currently it consists of these tools:
5 combine the lines in two files using boolean operations
7 get network interface info without parsing ifconfig output
9 check if a file or standard input is utf-8
11 run a command if the standard input is not empty
13 execute a program with a lock held (deprecated)
15 pipe two commands, returning the exit status of the first
17 run multiple jobs at once
19 tee standard input to pipes
21 soak up standard input and write to a file
23 timestamp standard input
25 edit a directory in your text editor
27 insert a text editor into a pipe
29 automatically uncompress arguments to command
31 Its web page is here: http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/moreutils.html
33 Your suggestions of additional tools to add to this collection are
34 appreciated. The web page lists some that are under consideration but
35 have not yet been included, I also welcome feedback on which of these to
