moreutils

This is a growing collection of the Unix tools that nobody thought to write long ago, when Unix was young.
So far, it includes the following utilities:

chronic: runs a command quietly unless it fails
combine: combine the lines in two files using boolean operations
errno: look up errno names and descriptions
ifdata: get network interface info without parsing ifconfig output
ifne: run a program if the standard input is not empty
isutf8: check if a file or standard input is utf-8
lckdo: execute a program with a lock held
mispipe: pipe two commands, returning the exit status of the first
parallel: run multiple jobs at once
pee: tee standard input to pipes
sponge: soak up standard input and write to a file
ts: timestamp standard input
vidir: edit a directory in your text editor
vipe: insert a text editor into a pipe
zrun: automatically uncompress arguments to command

The moreutils package includes errno, ifdata, ifne, isutf8, lckdo, mispipe, pee and sponge.
The remaining programs are included in the moreutils-parallel, moreutils-perl, chronic and ts packages.
