1 This is a collection of the unix tools that nobody thought to write
2 thirty years ago. 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
15 pipe two commands, returning the exit status of the first
17 tee standard input to pipes
19 soak up standard input and write to a file
21 timestamp standard input
23 edit a directory in your text editor
25 insert a text editor into a pipe
27 automatically uncompress arguments to command
29 Its web page is here: http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/moreutils.html
31 Your suggestions of additional tools to add to this collection are
32 appreciated. The web page lists some that are under consideration but
33 have not yet been included, I also welcome feedback on which of these to
