| apache | This version of the Apache HTTP server has been compiled with the additional modules mod_perl and PHP3, which allows database access to mySQL, PostgreSQL and ADABAS D (on INTEL machines only). Install the packages mod_php and mod_perl to gain these features. The Apache HTTP server. Very few programs have spread so quickly and attracted such a large following in such a short time as this HTTP server. According to Netcraft, Apache runs on about 49.05% of all servers attached to the Internet. That represents about 1,182,142 systems. It has replaced within only a few months the NCSA server which, until then was the unchallenged favorite. This is undoubtedly because Apache was derived from the NCSA server sources and that its configuration is compatible to that of NCSA/1.3. The Apache project was established to provide a forum for the development of a freely available HTTP server. The goal is to develop a secure, efficient, and easily extendable server, which also closely parallels the development of the HTTP protocol. Thus Apache became a replacement to NCSA/1.3. Besides better performance, the removal of known errors, and better conformance to HTTP standards (HTTP/1.1), Apache offers the following useful features, which are often missing in other servers: * password files, used to protect documents from unauthorized access, can be indexed in various ways. The search for an entry is as a result more efficient than in ordinary text files. * client-request errors can be responded to in a flexible manner. CGI scripts can be used to analyze the error and generate more informative replies to both the client and the administrator than the HTTP status codes offer. * there is no restriction on aliasing and redirection. The Alias and Redirect directives can be used in arbitrary number and depth. * Apache can choose the best representation of a resource based on the browser-supplied preferences for media type, languages, character set and encoding ("Content Negotiation"). * with Apache you can implement several virtual servers. Thus requests to different IP addresses (referring to the same computer) can be distinguished and, depending on the IP address, appropriately handled. Further advantages are the module concept and the well-documented API (Application Programmers Interface). Extensions are easily developed and new features are easily integrated into the server. For example, an implementation of the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) from Netscape exists for Apache. This permits secure communication between server and client. Apache is installed in the following directories: /etc/httpd -> configuration files /usr/sbin/httpd -> server binary /var/log/httpd/ -> protocol files /var/run/httpd.pid -> server PID /usr/local/httpd -> server root /sbin/init.d/apache -> Start/Stop script |
| apel | A Portable Emacs Library |

| aps | This printer filter lets you print arbitrary files on your printer. The file type is recognized automatically. When needed ghostscript is run to print PostScript files on non-PostScript printers. In order to configure the filter, start YaST in your installed system. Choose "System administration" in the main menu, then "Integrate hardware into system", and finally "Configure printers". Fill out the mask, and YaST will configure apsfilter for you. The conventional SETUP of apsfilter is sure available as /var/lib/apsfilter/SETUP This revised script uses the program dialog to make the usage more easier for you. The documentation of this version of apsfilter revised by SuSE is placed in /usr/share/doc/packages/apsfilter/. |
| arc | ARC is a packer that was used on various operating systems. This package should allow you to unpack *.arc files under Linux. You shouldn't use it for packing Linux-Software. Use gzip instead. |

| asedit | A simple ASCII text editor for X11/Motif. Mouse support, dialog boxes, hypertext online help, undo/redo. The help box for the online help has a little bug: it is too small, you must enlarge the box with the mouse. |
| ash | NetBSD's ash (Almquist sh) for Linux is a small (62K - no job control) Bourne-compatible shell. Great for machines with low memory, but does not provide all the extras of shells like bash, tcsh, and zsh. Most shell scripts are run compatible to bash. Note that most scripts written for Linux use some bash-specific syntax. The Slackware setup scripts are a notable exception, since ash is the shell used during installation. |
| at | With this program you can run jobs at a specified time. |
| aterm | aterm is a pseudo transparency terminal. It is recource friendly, has many features how fading (darkening/lightening of colors when aterm is loosing focus), tint color (pseudo transparency background color)... You can find some examples under /usr/share/doc/packages/aterm/README.SuSE |

| authldap | This is an authentication module for Apache that allows you to authenticate HTTP clients using user entries in an LDAP directory. The latest version and the change log is always available at http://www.rudedog.org/auth_ldap/ |
| autoconf | GNU's Autoconf is a tool for configuring source code and Makefiles. Using Autoconf, programmers can create portable and configurable packages, since the person building the package is allowed to specify various configuration options. You should install Autoconf if you are developing software and you'd like to use it to create shell scripts which will configure your source code packages. Note that the Autoconf package is not required for the end user who may be configuring software with an Autoconf-generated script; Autoconf is only required for the generation of the scripts, not their use. |
| autofs | autofs is a kernel-based automounter for Linux. It is still under development, although the features currently implemented seem to work well. There is not anywhere near enough documentation available yet; help in getting some written would be appreciated. This package replaces the amd package. |
| autolog | This programs automatically logs out "forgotten" logins. |
| automake | Automake is a tool for automatically generating "Makefile.in"s from files called "Makefile.am". "Makefile.am" is basically a series of "make" macro definitions (with rules being thrown in occasionally). The generated "Makefile.in"s are compatible to the GNU Makefile standards. |

| baekmukt | Baekmuk Fonts (Korean fonts for X11, True Type version) |
| base | This package normally also includes the program "rmt", which provides remote tape drive control. Since there is a compatible `rmt' in the `dump' package we didn't put `rmt' into this package. If you are planning to use the remote tape features provided by tar you have to install the `dump' package as well. |
| bash | Bash is a sh-compatible command interpreter that executes commands read from standard input or from a file. Bash also incorporates useful features from the Korn and C shells (ksh and csh). Bash is ultimately intended to be a conformant implementation of the IEEE Posix Shell and Tools specification (IEEE Working Group 1003.2). |
| bash1 | Since the new bash version 2.x is somewhat stricter in its syntax checking than version 1.x, we are keeping the older version as bash1 in the distribution. If you have scripts that don't satisfy the stricter rules of 2.x and you don't want to look for the errors, simply replace "/bin/sh" with "/bin/bash1" in the first line. The script will then be run by the old bash shell. |
| bb | BB is an high quality audio-visual demonstration for your text terminal. It is portable demo, so you can run it on plenty of operating systems and DOS. |
| bc | bc is an interpreter that supports numbers of arbitrary precision and the interactive execution of statements. There are some similarities in the syntax to the C programming language. A standard math library is available through command line options. When used, the math library is read in before any other input files. bc then reads in all other files from the command line, evaluating their contents. Then, bc reads from standard input (usually the keyboard). The dc program is also included. Dc is a calculator which supports reverse-polish notation and allows unlimited precision arithmetic. Macros can also be defined. Normally, dc reads from standard in but can also read in files specified on the command line. A calculator with reverse-polish notation saves numbers to a stack. Arguments to mathematical operations (operands) are "pushed" onto the stack until the next operator is read in which "pops" its arguments off the stack and "pushes" its results back onto the stack. |

| buffer | Buffering stdin and stdout |
| bulkmail | This is a C program to do "bulk" mailing. For input, it takes a file of recipient addresses (one address per line) and a message (with headers already attached) to be sent to the recipients. It sorts the recipient list by reversed domain (so similar ones sort together), splits up the recipients into several groups containing no more than N domains each, creates an SMTP envelope for each group of recipients, and feeds that envelope to "/usr/lib/sendmail -bs". Splitting the envelopes up allows sendmail to perform delivery in parallel, so instead of having one large queue entry (for which sendmail might take awhile to get around to attempting delivery for some recipients), it has several smaller queue entries. Depending on your point-of-view, this can still be considered "cluttering up your mail queue", but it does seem to deliver messages more quickly to most recipients. The core of this program was extracted from a somewhat strange mailing list manager called na-net; it was designed to efficiently send out mail to 5000 people at a time. I have used this program to attempt delivery of a message to over 12000 recipients around the world, within a few hours. I'm currently using bulk_mailer as a back-end for several mailing lists of modest size. However, the program is not extensively tested, and may not work well in all environments. (In particular, if your system has per-user process quotas, or a small number of process table entries, you will want to modify this program to recover gracefully.) There's no warranty on this, but you're welcome to use it if you want. |
| busybox | BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in fileutils, shellutils, findutils, textutils, grep, gzip, tar, etc. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or emdedded system. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options then their full featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. |
| bwbasic | A Basic interpreter. |
| bwidget | Add useful and nice widgets in your interfaces with the BWidget Toolkit, a set of native Tk 8.x Widgets using Tcl8.x namespaces. The BWidgets have a professional look&feel as in other well known Toolkits (Tix or Incr Widget) but the concept is radically different because everything is native so no platform compilation, no compiled extension library are needed. The code is in Pure Tcl/Tk. |
| bzip | Bzip is a very powerful program for compressing files. |

| cpio | This is GNU cpio, a program to manage archives of files. This package also includes mt, a tape drive control program. Cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. An archive is a file that contains other files plus information about them, such as their pathname, owner, timestamps, and access permissions. The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe. This package normally also includes the program "rmt", which provides remote tape drive control. Since there is a compatible `rmt' in the `dump' package we didn't put `rmt' into this package. If you are planning to use the remote tape features provided by cpio you have to install the `dump' package as well. |

| ed | Standard old un*x line editor |
| eddi | X editor based on the TiX shell, with text highlighting and several other useful features. |
| edict | The EDICT file is the outcome of a voluntary project to produce a freely-available Japanese/English Dictionary in machine-readable form. This project has been under way since early 1991, beginning with the small original file included with the MOKE (Mark's Own Kanji Editor) Japanese word-processing package. It reached a size of nearly 103,000 entries when it was split into two files: EDICT containing the "normal" dictionary entries, and ENAMDICT containing names. Both files are used by a number of software packages and thousands of users world-wide. The EDICT file is now over 60,000 entries and the ENAMDICT file over 160,000. Meanwhile there are also some additional dictionary files for special purposes, for example COMPDIC for words from the computing and communication field. |

| expat | From the Website: Expat is an XML 1.0 parser written in C. It aims to be fully conforming. It is currently not a validating XML processor. The current production version of expat can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip. The directory xmltok contains a low-level library for tokenizing XML. The interface is documented in xmltok/xmltok.h. The directory xmlparse contains an XML parser library which is built on top of the xmltok library. The interface is documented in xmlparse/xmlparse.h. The directory sample contains a simple example program using this interface; sample/build.bat is a batch file to build the example using Visual C++. The directory xmlwf contains the xmlwf application, which uses the xmlparse library. The arguments to xmlwf are one or more files which are each to be checked for well-formedness. An option -d dir can be specified; for each well-formed input file the corresponding canonical XML will be written to dir/f, where f is the filename (without any path) of the input file. A -x option will cause references to external general entities to be processed. A -s option will make documents that are not standalone cause an error (a document is considered standalone if either it is intrinsically standalone because it has no external subset and no references to parameter entities in the internal subset or it is declared as standalone in the XML declaration). |

| fortune | Fortune displays a random text string from a set of files in a certain format. This occurs each time you start a login shell. To get this feature just uncomment the respective lines in the user's .profile. |
| fping | fping is a ping-like program which uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a target host is responding. fping differs from ping in a way that you can specify any number of targets on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists of targets to ping. Instead of sending pings to one target until it times out or replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next target in a round-robin fashion. In the default mode, if a target replies, it is noted and removed from the list of targets to check; if a target does not respond within a certain time limit and/or retry limit it is designated as unreachable. fping also supports sending a specified number of pings to a target, or looping indefinitely (as in ping ). Unlike ping, fping is meant to be used in scripts, so its output is designed to be easy to parse. |

| fwnn | FreeWnn is a Kana-Kanji translation system, originally developed by a joint project formed by Kyoto University, OMRON Corporation [formerly known as Tateishi Electronics Co.], and ASTEC Inc. Further developement and maintenance is now done by the "FreeWnn Project" (http://www.freewnn.org). The name "Wnn", is an acronym for the Japanese sentence "Watashino Namaeha Nakanodesu" (literally, it means "my name is Nakano."), is derived from a goal of the project: to develop a system powerful enough to translate a whole sentence like that at once. The source code has been written in C, and was distributed freely. Consequently, Wnn spread widely among workstation platforms, and became a de-facto standard as a Kana-Kanji translation system for UNIX operation systems. Wnn works in client-server manner. The server portion of Wnn, or jserver, is used as a Kana-Kanji translation engine for clients like "xwnmo" and "kinput2" (input systems for the X Window System), or for clients like "Egg", which is part of Mule (=Multi lingual Emacs) and XEmacs. This package contains only the Japanese server. |

| ge_auc | These macros make it easier for you to write TeX documents with GNU Emacs. Documentation is to be found under: /usr/share/doc/packages/auctex/ and in the dvi-files math-ref.dvi tex-ref.dvi (reference cards) and in info files auctex in emacs info-mode. AuC TeX is integrated in XEmacs 19.15 and higher, therefore you may not install this packages. Note that the binary formats of the byte-compiled lisp files of the both emacs editors are incompatible, therefore you can not use this package for XEmacs. |

| ge_info | This package contains all info files for GNU emacs. All these files can be read online with GNU emacs and describe emacs and some of its modes. |
| ge_lisp | Several lisp files not needed for running GNU emacs. Most of these files are pre byte compiled and therefore not necessary. |
| ge_site | This package contains extensions for GNU Emacs of the site-lisp path of emacs. It puts together the AUC-TeX package (ge_auc) and a system wide startup file (site-start.el) which uses a few lisp macro files combined by us. For copyright have a look on these files. Note, that GNU Emacs and XEmacs are incompatible. They use different binary code for compiled lisp files and they have different builtin lisp functions, not only names of such functions are different. Therfore you will find in /etc/skel/ an .emacs for your personal ~/.emacs which will switch between different init files. Fore GNU Emacs there is a /etc/skel/.gnu-emacs for a personal ~/.gnu-emacs and therefore your ~/.emacs or ~/.gnu-emacs files should be checked against the /etc/skel versions. You can always make your preferred ~/.gnu-emacs by copying the /etc/skel/.emacs and /etc/skel/.gnu-emacs file in your HOME directory and incorporating your extensions or changes. |

This is a partial list of Features implemented in Gnumeric, we need documentation for these: - Autofill Number autofill (computes delta, autofills from that) String autofill (daynames, months are built in). String+Number combo integer autofill Formula autofill. - Drag and drop selection. Select an area and use the border to drag the contents (shift/control/alt are modifiers to copy or move) - Selection - Multiple selection is supported, hold down control key to augment the existing selection (it might be discotinuous). - Walking selection Use return/tab and shift-return/shift-tab to capture information in a selection. - Fill quickly a region with the same text: just enter the text in a selection and press control-enter. - Number formatting - The formatting of numbers is very powerful, we do emulate the Excel number formatting specification. - Format rules: you can use rules to specify which format to use - Format colors: you can specify a color to format with in the format. - Column/Row resizing - Drag the column/row division to adjust the column and row dimenssions. - To make changes to various columns/rows simultaneously, select the columns and then change the dimension of one of them. - To edit the contents of a cell that already has a value, press F2 key. - When typing a formula, you can use the cursor keys to select a cell or a cell range in the expression. This will only work if a cell name is valid at the cursor point. To specify a cell range, just move to the start of the cell range and then hold down the shift key while making the size of the selection cursor bigger. - An expression is evaluated constantly on top of the current selection. There is a number of pre-defined auto-compute expressions, you can change this by right clicking on this expression (it is on the bottom right corner) - If you drag a selection with button 3 instead of button one there is no default action, rather, a menu pops up with a list of possible actions to perform. - Gnumeric distinguishes regular text from formulas by preceding formulas with an equal sign. So to enter an expression you have to enter for example: =1+2. - Control-Space selects a column - Control-A selects all - SHift-Space selects the row. - Selection-keys + control extend the selection to boundary of worksheet. - SHift-Backspace: Collapses selection to active cell. - Home: move to the beginning of the row. - Control-Home: move to the cell A1 |

As opposed to some WAIS-based or web-server based search engines, ht://Dig can span several web servers at a site. The type of these different web servers doesn't matter as long as they understand the HTTP 1.0 protocol. |

| hugs98 | Hugs is a Haskell interpreter and programming environment for developing cool Haskell programs. This release is largely conformant with Haskell 98, including monad and record syntax, newtypes, strictness annotations, and modules. In addition, it comes packaged with the libraries defined in the most recent version of the Haskell Library Report and with extension libraries which are compatible with GHC 3.0 and later. Hugs is best used as a Haskell program development system: it boasts extremely fast compilation, supports incremental compilation, and has the convenience of an interactive interpreter (within which one can move from module to module to test different portions of a program). However, being an interpreter, it does not nearly match the run-time performance of, for example, GHC or HBC. |

Additionally, JOE allows for shell-windows whereby the output of the executed commands are saved in a buffer, automatic filename completion (via TAB), help windows, undo-redo, search and replace using regular expressions. |
| john | "John the Ripper" detects weak passwords like first names, common expressions etc. on your system. |
| jpeg | Software to implement JPEG image compression and decompression. JPEG pronounced "jay-peg") is a standardized compression method for full-color and gray-scale images. JPEG is intended for compressing "real-world" scenes (most of the time there are pictures that have been scanned-in with a scanner). Cartoons and other non-realistic images are not its strong suit. You should note that the output of JPEG is not necessarily the same as its input. If this is a factor for you, then don't use it. With typical real-world scenes, JPEG can achieve high compression rates, without noticeable differences. If you can accept pictures of lower quality, JPEG can achieve amazingly high compression rates. There are some library functions available for reading and writing JPEG files. The `cjpeg' and `djpeg' applications use the library to make conversions between JPEG and other popular graphics file formats possible. The library is meant to be used within other applications. Cjpeg compresses the input file, or standard input if no filename was given, and produces a JPEG/JFIF to standard output. Currently supported input file formats include: PPM (PBMPLUS color format), PGM (PBMPLUS Grayscale format), BMP, GIF, Targa and RLE (Utah Raster Toolkit Format). (RLE is only supported if the RLE library is available.) Djpeg decompresses a JPEG file in one of the above mentioned formats. |

They are experimental/alpha versions, like localeja and localeko, as glibc locales (2.1.2-9) don't currently include these EUC (or extended) encodings. However, this localezh package is essential for GB2312-1980 or GBK simplified Chinese support until glibc2 officially includes these locales. |
| logsurf | This program makes it possible to observe logfiles and to react on special events, that can be defined by regular expressions, with a defined action, e.g. to send a mail. |
| lprng | The LPRng software is an enhanced, extended, and portable implementation of the Berkeley LPR print spooler functionality. While providing the same interface and meeting RFC1179 requirements, the implementation is completely new and provides support for the following features: lightweight (no databases needed) lpr, lpc, and lprm programs; dynamic redirection of print queues; automatic job holding; highly verbose diagnostics; multiple printers serving a single queue; and a greatly improved permission and authorization mechanism. LPRng provides emulation packages for the SVR4 lp and lpstat programs, eliminating the need for another print spooler package. These emulation packages can be modified according to local requirements, in order to support vintage printing systems. Attention: Interoperability with older LPD implementations requires privileged access to ports. Therefore all affected client-programs ship with SUID root priviledges! |
| lprold | This is the Linux version of the BSD-compatible printer spooling system. The lpd binary included in this package expects to find TCP/IP running. |
| lsof | An open file may be a regular file, a directory, a block special file, a character special file, an executing text reference, a library, a stream or a network file (Internet socket, NFS file or UNIX domain socket.) A specific file or all the files in a file system may be selected by path. |
| ltrace | ltrace is a program that simply runs the specified command until it exits. It intercepts and records the dynamic library calls which are called by the executed process and the signals which are received by that process. It can also intercept and print the system calls executed by the program. The program to be traced need not be recompiled for this, so you can use it on binaries for which you don't have the source handy. This is still a work in progress, so e.g. the tracking to child processes may fail or some things may not work as expected. |
| lvm | Programs and man pages for configuring and using the logical volume manager. |
| lx_docu | This is a copy of the kernel documentation (located in /usr/share/doc/kernel). No need to install this if the full kernel source is installed. |

| lynx | Lynx is an easy to use browser for HTML documents and other internet services like FTP, telnet, news. Lynx is fast. It is purely text based and therefore makes it possible to use WWW resources on text terminals. |
| magickpp | This is Magick++, the object-oriented C++ API to the ImageMagick image-processing library. Magick++ supports an object model which is inspired by PerlMagick. Magick++ should be a bit faster than PerlMagick since it is written in a compiled language which is not parsed at run-time. This makes it suitable for Web CGI programs. Images support implicit reference counting so that copy constructors and assignment incur almost no cost. The cost of actually copying an image (if necessary) is done just before modification and this copy is managed automatically by Magick++. De-referenced copies are automatically deleted. The image objects support value (rather than pointer) semantics so it is trivial to support multiple generations of an image in memory at one time. |
| mailx | This program is a very good supplement to "mail" and should be installed. |
| majorcoo | MajorCool is a CGI script written in Perl that provides a Web interface to Majordomo v1.9x*. It is intended to run co-located with the Majordomo program (ie, both list-server and Web on the same host). Employing a variety of Web/GUI techniques such as Balloon Help, Per-User Preferences, and MouseOver cues, MajorCool puts a friendly face on top of the Majordomo list management processes. "If you run a Majordomo service, go get MajorCool!" -- Mark Rauterkus, E-Marketing Digest MajorCool was originally designed as an administrative front-end to the popular mailing list manager, allowing novice list-owners to manage their list configuration and subscriber base. With the easy-to-use password protected screens, list managers can: - Edit the list config file. Presentation of the complex list configuration file is simplified through the intuitive use of HTML radio buttons and text fields. - Update the subscriber file via an easy-to-use text window. Changes to the list are converted to the appropriate individual approved subscribe and unsubscribe commands. - Manage the moderator's Approval Queue, deleting, rejecting, or approving BOUNCE messages that require review. No more messing with mail headers! - Edit files in the Approval Queue prior to action. Limited only by browser memory constraints. - Create or edit the list's info and intro files. - Download the list configuration file via e-mail. In addition to its list administration functions, MajorCool also provides a site-oriented view of the list-server's lists. MajorCool extends the address matching capabilities of Majordomo through the use of configurable siteaddr modules, permitting external directory sources such as X.500 to supply name-to-address conversions and provide pattern-matching address comparisons. These features enable MajorCool to identify list subscribers by multiple valid addresses, allowing end-users to interactively: - View lists available on the server: All lists on the system. Unsubscribed lists. Subscribed lists (regardless of the address used for subscription). Lists with names or descriptions that match a certain pattern. - Subscribe or unsubscribe to any list. - View the list's info or intro files. - View members of a list. Lastly, MajorCool provides a mailing list request mechanism, allowing end-users to ask that a list be created, renamed, or deleted. This request can be mailed to the Majordomo owner, or passed to an external program to perform whatever actions are desired. (Sample applications are provided to implement list creation, renaming, and/or deletion on-the-fly.) -- To configure MajorCool change to /usr/lib/majorcool and run "sh ./Configure". This script will prompt for some installation values and save the output to a default.sh file. This file can be edited at any time. For more details see "/usr/lib/majorcool/Docs/install.htm". |

It also has mouse support if you run the "gpm" mouse server. This program requires the terminal description files in /usr/lib/terminfo, which are found in ncurses.tgz or terminfo.tgz. You can also use the Midnight Commander under X with your mouse. If you enter "mc -c", colors will be used. Under the Midnight Commander, the screen is divided into four sections, whereby the majority of the screen is covered by two directory panels. The second to last line on the screen is the shell command line; the last line displays the function key assignments. At the very top, the menu list is shown. One of the directories displayed is the current working directory. This is where most of the commands are found. For certain commands, like copy and move, the second directory is used as the target directory. |

| mysql | SQL is the most popular database language in the world. MySQL is a client/server implementation that consists of a server daemon mysqld and many different client programs and libraries. The main goals of MySQL are speed, robustness and ease of use. MySQL was originally developed because the developers at TcX needed a SQL server that could handle very large databases an order of magnitude faster than what any database vendor could offer to them. They have now been using MySQL since 1996 in an environment with more than 40 databases containing 10,000 tables, of which more than 500 have more than 7 million rows. This is about 100 gigabytes of mission-critical data. The base upon which MySQL is built is a set of routines that have been used in a highly demanding production environment for many years. While MySQL is still in development, it already offers a rich and highly useful function set. The official way to pronounce MySQL is "My Ess Que Ell" (Not MY-SEQUEL). This package does only contain the server-side programs. |

| netdate | Netdate takes a list of names of Internet hosts as arguments, selects the one which supplies the best time, and sets the system time accordingly. The ``best'' time is chosen by polling the named hosts once each to find their times and taking their differences from the local host's time. These differences are used to find the largest group of hosts whose times agree with each other within a certain limit. The first host in the largest group is picked as the best host. |
| netpbm | The latest version of the Portable Bitmap Plus Utilities. This large package which is by now available for all hardware platforms provides tools for graphics conversion. Using these tools, images can be converted from virtually any format into any other format.

While you (the programmer) are responsible for retrieving or maintaining the data to be processed, PDFlib takes over the task of generating the PDF code which graphically represents your data. While you must still format and arrange your text and graphical objects, PDFlib frees you from the internals and intricacies of PDF. Although being far from complete, PDFlib already offers many useful functions for creating text, graphics, images and hypertext elements in PDF files. |
| pdksh | A public domain Korn Shell clone. |
| perl | perl - Practical Extraction and Report Language Perl is a language optimized for scanning arbitrary text files, extracting information from those text files, and printing reports based on that information. It's also a good language for many system management tasks. The language is intended to be practical (easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal). Some of the modules available on CPAN can be found in the "perl" series. Attention: due to security reasons we disabled the suid bit of /usr/bin/suidperl. If you need this feature, please add the following line to /etc/permissions.local and run SuSEconfig. /usr/bin/suidperl root.root 4755 |

| perl_dbi | The Perl Database Interface by Tim Bunce |
| perl_dc | This package consists of a C library and a Perl module (which uses the C library, internally) for all kinds of date calculations based on the Gregorian calendar (the one used in all western countries today), thereby complying with all relevant norms and standards: ISO/R 2015-1971, DIN 1355 and, to some extent, ISO 8601 (where applicable). (See also http://www.engelschall.com/u/sb/download/Date-Calc/DIN1355/ for a scan of part of the "DIN 1355" document (in German)). The module of course handles year numbers of 2000 and above correctly ("Year 2000" or "Y2K" compliance) -- actually all year numbers from 1 to the largest positive integer representable on your system (which is at least 32767) can be dealt with. Note that this package EXTRAPOLATES the Gregorian calendar BACK until the year 1 A.D. -- even though the Gregorian calendar was only adopted in 1582 by most (not all) European countries, in obedience to the corresponding decree of catholic pope Gregor I in that year. Some (mainly protestant) countries continued to use the Julian calendar (used until then) until as late as the beginning of the 20th century. Finally, note that this package is not intended to do everything you could ever imagine automagically for you; it is rather intended to serve as a toolbox (in the best of UNIX spirit and traditions) which should, however, always get you where you want to go. |

The reason why we put the icons together in this package is to avoid conflicts and redundancy whilst installing or removing packages. If there were icons in the former package with identical name but different contents these icons were renamed (icon1,icon2,iconN). Nevertheless, you may find the original pixmaps in the source packages (package_s) of the above mentioned window managers. Documentation: man xpmroot |
| pkgtools | This package contains the scripts installpkg, removepkg and pkgtool. |
| plan | plan is a schedule planner based on X/Motif. It displays a month calendar similar to xcal, but every day box is large enough to show appointments in small print. By pressing on a day box, the appointments for that day can be listed and edited. |

| ppp | The ppp package contains the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) daemon, pppd, additional ppp utilities, documentation and sample files. PPP provides a method for transmitting IP and IPX datagrams over serial point-to-point links, for example over modem links. The PPP daemon handles the details of setting up a PPP link including configuring the network interface and performing the PPP negotiations. PPP requires a PPP driver in the kernel, either compiled in or loaded as a module. The package wvdial helps you with the configuration of PPP. You can find it in YaST, in the package installations, series n, but it should be already installed by default. Simply start it from YaST, "System administration ->", "Network configuration ->" and "Configure a PPP network ->". You can call it from the command line also with "wvdial.lxdialog". After you have configured wvdial, simply call "wvdial" and you will be connected. |
| pppoed | New package for the new pppoe (PPP over Ethernet) protocol. This package provides mixed kernel/user mode PPP encapsulation for xDSL and similar internet links which use PPP protocol over the IP layer. It is necessary for Sympatico service in Ontario and probably elsewhere. To use this package successfully, your kernel must include support for the PPP encapsulation. SuSE provides the needed pppox module in the SuSE Kernel packages |

| qtcompat | This package contains compatibility header files to compile older QT programs designed for QT versions < 1.40. The former QT package was split into the following ones: qtlib runtime libraries qtdevel developpment environment qtext extensions qtcompat compatibility includes for versions < 1.40 If you want to develop programs with QT or simply e.g. recompile KDE, then you have to install the qtdevel package. Perhaps installing qtcompat will free you from compile errors in older packages. Please read in /usr/share/doc/packages/qt/LICENSE for licensing issues! Documentation in: /usr/share/doc/packages/qt /usr/share/doc/packages/qt/html/index.html |
| qtdevel | This package contains the QT runtime libraries. The former QT package was split into the following ones: qtlib runtime libraries qtdevel developpment environment qtext extensions qtcompat compatibility includes for versions < 1.40 If you want to develop programs with QT or simply e.g. recompile KDE, then you have to install this package. Perhaps installing qtcompat will free you from compile errors in older packages. Please read in /usr/share/doc/packages/qt/LICENSE for licensing issues! Documentation in: /usr/share/doc/packages/qt /usr/share/doc/packages/qt/html/index.html |
| qtdevel2 | You need this package, if you want to compile programs with Qt 2. It contains the "Qt Crossplatform Development Kit 2".

The former QT package was split into the following ones: qtlib runtime libraries qtdevel developpment environment qtext extensions qtcompat compatibility includes for versions < 1.40 If you want to develop programs with QT or simply e.g. recompile KDE, then you have to install the qtdevel package. Perhaps installing qtcompat will free you from compile errors in older packages. Please read in /usr/share/doc/packages/qt/LICENSE for licensing issues! Documentation in: /usr/share/doc/packages/qt /usr/share/doc/packages/qt/html/index.html |
| qtext2 | This package contains extension libraries of Qt 2.00, such as an OpenGL interface to Qt. It may not be installed together with qtext. |
| qtlib | This package contains the QT runtime libraries. The former QT package was split into the following ones: qtlib runtime libraries qtdevel developpment environment qtext extensions qtcompat compatibility includes for versions < 1.40 If you want to develop programs with QT or simply e.g. recompile KDE, then you have to install the qtdevel package.

| qtlib2 | Qt is a program library for developing applications with graphical user interfaces. It allows you to rapidly develop professional programs. The Qt library is available not only for Linux but for a great number of Unices and even for Windows, as well. Thus it's possible to write programs that may be ported to those platforms easily. Qt comes with a licence that allows you to use it free of charge, as long as you make the source codes of the programs that you develop with Qt free (for example by releasing it under the GPL). This package contains the runtime libraries of the newest Qt version 2. The current version 1.1.1 of KDE uses Qt 1.44, which comes in the package qtlib. You need version 2 only, if you want to develop or at least compile programs that are based on Qt 2. Hereby it is possible to install qtlib and qtlib2 at the same time. The packages qtdevel2 and qtext2 exclude their counterparts of Version 1.44. See /usr/share/doc/packages/qtlib2 for details about the new features of current Qt library! |
| qtman | This package contains the man pages for the qt development enviroment. |
| qtman2 | This package contains all man pages for all QT 2 classes. |

| rasmol | RasMol is an X Window System tool intended for the visualization of proteins and nucleic acids. It reads Brookhaven Protein Database (PDB) files and interactively renders them in a variety of formats on either an 8bit or 24/32bit color display. Examples are in /usr/lib/rasmol |
| rcs | RCS, the Revision Control System, manages multiple revisions of files. RCS can store, retrieve, log, identify, and merge revisions. It is useful for files that are frequently revised e.g. programs, documentation, graphics, and papers. |
| rdist | This utility makes it possible to distribute files to several computers within a network. If possible, file attributes such as: owner, group, mode, and mtime are retained. It's even possible to overwrite running binaries. |
| recode | This filter converts various character sets. |
| regina | Mark Hessling's implementation of the REXX language. |
| repgtk | GTK bindings for librep (LISP) |
| rfc | This is the reference concerning Internet and Internet protocols. The discussed matter might be a little to theoretical for laymen but professionals do find all what they are looking for. |
| rinetd | rinetd redirects TCP connections from one IP address and port to another. rinetd is a single-process server which handles any number of connections to the address/port pairs specified in the file /etc/rinetd.conf. Since rinetd runs as a single process using nonblocking I/O, it is able to redirect a large number of connections without a severe impact on the machine. This makes it practical to run TCP services on machines inside an IP masquerading firewall. Note: rinetd can not redirect FTP, because FTP requires more than one socket. |
| rman | RosettaMan is a filter for UNIX manual pages needed by TkMan. It takes as input man pages formatted for a variety of UNIX flavors (not [tn]roff source) and produces as output a variety of file formats. Also included is http-rman which provides access to the man-pages via a normal web-browser. |
| roottail | Displays a given file anywhere on your X11 root window with a transparent background. |
| roxen | Challenger is a modular open source web server and forms the foundation of the Roxen Platform (a commercial web content management system). Administration and configuration of the server and all its add-on modules are done via a very comfortable web interface. Roxen is a real alternative to Apache - and because of its GPL license also as free as its competitor. It is probably easier to configure while being as powerful as apache. It comes with modules like "Graphics text", which gives you the tag <gtext></gtext> that lets Roxen create a GIF from the text with lots of advanced features compared to regular HTML-text. Another module is "Business Graphics", which offers a tag <diagram> that can be used to create GIFs that contain complex business charts (e.g. pie charts, bar charts,...) or even mathematical functions. |
| roxmysql | This package lets the Roxen webserver access mySQL databases. For details see the Roxen documentation. |
| roxpgsql | This package lets the Roxen webserver access PostgreSQL databases. For details see the Roxen documentation. |

| rpm | RPM Package Manager is the main tool for managing software packages of the SuSE Linux distribution. rpm can be used to install and remove software packages; with rpm it's easy to update packages. rpm keep track of all these manipulations in a central database. This way it is possible to get an overview of all installed packages; rpm also supports database queries. |
| rpm2html | from the original spec file: rpm2html tries to solve 2 big problems one face when grabbing a RPM package from a mirror on the net and trying to install it: - it gives more information than just the filename before installing the package. - it tries to solve the dependancy problem by analyzing all the Provides and Requires of the set of RPMs. It shows the cross references by the way of hypertext links. You'll find example configuration files at /usr/share/doc/packages/rpm2html. - Use it in combination with the package `rpmfind'. |
| rpmfind | rpmfind analyze the current state of the system, check a remote database using HTTP to lookup the packages providing the best affinity with your current software base and also list the extra packages that you need to install to solve the missing dependencies. Rpmfind can also do the transfer once the list of package has been established. home page: http://rufus.w3.org/linux/rpm2html/rpmfind.html |
| rsync | rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. At first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of diffs between two files normally requires local access to both files. A technical report describing the rsync algorithm is included with this package. |
| rxp | From the RELNOTES: [...] a validating namespace-aware XML parser in C. RXP was written by Richard Tobin at the Language Technology Group, Human Communication Research Centre, University of Edinburgh. RXP is distributed under the GNU Public Licence, which is in the file COPYING. RXP may be made available under other licensing terms; contact M.Moens@ed.ac.uk for details. RXP is based on the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation of 10th February 1998 and the Namespaces recommendation of 14th January 1999. Deviations from these recommendations should probably be considered as bugs. There is currently only minimal documentation. There is a manual page for the rxp program, and a hastily-written file called "Manual" which describes the public functions and data structures. The file "Threads" contains some notes about use in a threaded environment. [...] A simple application (called rxp) is provided that parses and writes XML data, optionally expanding entities, defaulting attributes, and translating to a different output encoding. There is an RXP web page at http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~richard/rxp.html Bug reports should be sent to richard@cogsci.ed.ac.uk. |
| samba | Samba is a suite of programs which work together to allow clients to access Unix filespace and printers via the SMB protocol (Server Message Block). In practice, this means that you can redirect disks and printers to Unix disks and printers from LAN Manager clients, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 clients, Windows'95 clients, Windows NT clients and OS/2 clients. There is also a Unix client program supplied as part of the suite which allows Unix users to use an ftp-like interface to access filespace and printers on any other SMB server. Samba includes the following programs (in summary): * smbd, the SMB server. This handles actual connections from clients. * nmbd, the Netbios name server, which helps clients locate servers. * smbclient, the Unix-hosted client program. * smbrun, a little `glue' program to help the server run external programs. * testprns, a program to test server access to printers. * testparm, a program to test the Samba configuration file for correctness. * smb.conf, the Samba configuration file. * smbprint, a sample script to allow a Unix host to use smbclient to print to an SMB server. The suite is supplied with full source and is GPLed. This package expects its config file under /etc/smb.conf . |
| samt | SAmT is a tool for the System Administrator. It helps keeping a list of important system files without having to look for them each time you need them.

| scwm | From the Scwm homepage (/usr/share/doc/packages/scwm/scwmrc/): Scwm is the Scheme-Configurable Window Manager. It is a window manager with a powerful configuration language based on Guile Scheme. Scwm has a number of advanced features, many implemented in the configuration language itself. It is in very active development currently, and continues to improve. Scwm was originally based on fvwm2 code. It is rapidly evolving in the internals, but we are striving to maintain compatibility on various levels. It now has a strict superset of fvwm2 features. Even fvwm2 modules may be executed through an adapter written in the configuration language. Features ======== Scwm has a number of useful features, some of which are rarely seen in a window manager. Here are some highlights: - Full programmability using Guile Scheme. - Support for GUI scripting using guile-gtk (experimental quality). - Optional constraint-based window-layout system (new in v0.9). See README-constraints for information on getting started. - Fully documented the C-level primitives. - Much-improved documentation browsing capabilities from Emacs. - Multiple decoration styles, including mwm, fvwm and win95 so far. - Everything that can be configured can be changed on the fly at runtime. - A powerful external control protocol. The scwmexec program can be used to execute any window manager. - command at any time; scwmrepl gives you an interactive session with the window manager. - An emacs interaction mode: edit your .scwmrc in emacs, and evaluate the results immediately, without restarting. - Support for fvwm2 modules. - Multiple disjoint virtual desktops. - Animated move and windowshade operations. - Synthetic events (allowing you to bind keystrokes or mouse operations to sequences of clicks and keyboard commands). - Ability to load nearly any image type. - Timer hooks, input hooks, new window hooks. - Direct support for /etc/X11/wmconfig/ under RedHat GNU/Linux 5.x. - XLock menu that queries xlock for the available modes automatically. The code is fairly portable. It is known to work at least on Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris and Irix. Scwm comes with a number of example scwmrc files in the sample.scwmrc directory (/usr/share/doc/packages/scwm/scwmrc/) which demonstrate many of the useful features. |
| sdb | This package is necessary as base for the national language packages of the SDB as there are e.g. sdb_de or sdb-en. It installs the needed directory structure and compatibility links for older versions of the SDB. The SDB may be found under: /usr/share/doc/sdb |
| sdb_de | A collection of frequently asked support questions. These are written in HTML and can be found under /usr/share/doc/support-db/sdb. The english sdb is in package sdb_en. |
| sdb_en | A collection of frequently asked support questions. These are written in HTML and can be found under /usr/share/doc/support-db/sdb_e. The English version is under construction. |
| sdb_es | Some articles to answer frequently asked questions. These pages are in HTML format and are located at /usr/share/doc/sdb/es. The german version is in the package sdb_de. |
| sdb_fr | Some articles to answer frequently asked questions. These pages are in HTML format and are located at /usr/share/doc/sdb/fr. The german version is in the package sdb_de. |
| sdb_it | Some articles to answer frequently asked questions. These pages are in HTML format and are located at /usr/share/doc/sdb/it. The german version is in the package sdb_de. |
| seccheck | Regularly executable scripts (via cron) to check the security of your System. |
| secumod | This Kernel module will disable a configurable set of features, which will result in a more secure system. It features: - `texec' : TPE protection (more on this later) - `procfs' : procfs protection - `hardlink' : hardlink create protection - `symlink' : symlink follow protection - `rawdisk' : rawdisk protection - `pipe' : Pipe (FIFO) protection - `trace' : process trace protection - `systable' : syscall table checking - `logging' : if you want logging turn this on - `persist' : on default this is set to 0, so the module can be unloaded, but you may set it to 1 to make it unremovable - `capbits' : set the capbits value. You have to supply a certain mode for the capbits variable. |
| selfhtml | HTML4 reference and tutorial. Unfortunately this document is only available in german. |
| sendmail | The "Unix System Administration Handbook" calls sendmail "The most complex and complete mail delivery system in common use..." . Ready-made configuration files are included for systems connected by TCP/IP (with or without a name server) and for systems using UUCP. `procmail' is included as a local mail agent. |
| sgmltool | SGML-Tools is a text-formatting package based on SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language), which allows you to produce LaTeX, HTML, GNU info, LyX, RTF, and plain ASCII (via groff) from a single source. This system is tailored for writing technical software documentation, an example of which are the Linux HOWTO documents. It should be useful for all kinds of printed and online documentation. This package is considered as the successor of the Linuxdoc package. SGML-Tools is not able to process arbitrary SGML documents; in such a case, give jade_dsl a try and write your own DSSSL scripts (take the docbk30 package as an example). |
| sgrep | Search a file for a structured pattern |
| sh_utils | The programs in this package include: basename chroot date dirname echo env expr false groups id logname nice nohup pathchk pinky printenv printf pwd sleep stty su tee test true tty uname who whoami yes |
| shadow | This package is configured to prevent root login from other than local consoles. If you want to enable root login via TCP/IP set ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE to "yes" in /etc/rc.config and run SuSEconfig. |
| sharutil | This is the set of GNU shar utilities. `shar' makes so-called shell archives out of many files, preparing them for transmission by electronic mail services. `unshar' helps unpacking shell archives after reception. `uuencode' prepares a file for transmission over an electronic channel which ignores or otherwise mangles the eight bit (high order bit) of bytes. `uudecode' does the converse transformation. `remsync' allows for remote synchronization of directory trees, using electronic mail. This part of sharutils is still alpha. |
| shlibs | Shared C libraries - needed to run programs linked with libc and libm libraries (almost all). Further basic support for international codepages and some binaries contained in the libc-source. |
| shlibs2 | The shared libraries of libc-2.2pre |
| sitar | Prepare system information using perl and binary tools, reading the /proc filesystem, ... Output is in HTML (LaTeX; planned: XML, SQL), can be converted to PS and PDF. This program must be run as "root". sitar.pl includes scsiinfo by Eric Youngdale, Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-essen.de> and ide_info by David A. Hinds <dhinds@hyper.stanford.edu>. It implements ideas of the SuSE Munich people. Comment: Sitar is an ancient Indian instrument as well. |
| sitecopy | sitecopy is for copying locally stored websites to remote web servers. The program will upload files to the server which have changed locally, and delete files from the server which have been removed locally, to keep the remote site synchronized with the local site, with a single command. The aim is to remove the hassle of uploading and deleting individual files using an FTP client. FTP, WebDAV and HTTP-based authoring servers are supported. |
| slang | Library with routines for display access. Similar to ncurses, but it has its own programming interface. Slang uses the entries in /usr/lib/terminfo. |
| smail | Smail is a mail system which is easy to configure. A lot of examples are installed in addition to the program. Smail should NOT be used together with sendmail. |
| smaltalk | GNU Smalltalk is an implementation which is almost Smalltalk-80 conform (tm ParkPlace Systems) as described in Adele Goldberg and David Robson's book `Smalltalk-80: the Language and its Implementations', which will be referred to as the `Blue Book'. Smalltalk is an object oriented programming language, meaning that the programmer not only has to keep the data in his head but the operations which can be applied to this object. The ability of an object of keeping not only track of the data but also to those operations that are connected to itself are inseparable glued together. The amount of actions that can be performed by the object is precisely defined by the amount of operations of this special object (called methods in Smalltalk). You can't `see' the contents of an object from outside the object. Seen from the outside an object is a black box which has some particular operations and states, but that's about all you know. In Smalltalk everything is an object. This includes variables, executable procedures (methods) and stack frames (context of invoked methods or context of a block). Every object is an instance of a class. You can see a class as a datatype and its incorporated functions. An instance is a particular variable of this datatype. If you want to perform an operation on one of these objects you have to send it a message and the object reacts by performing the correspondent action. To print something, e.g., you could send the message like this: someObject print The message you send is indeed the name of a method (procedure) which should be carried out. If you send a message to an object Smalltalk tries to find out the method that has been defined for this kind of object. First it starts looking at the objects class. If there is no such class it bothers the parent class, in the grandfather class etc.. At the top of this class-construction there is a class called Object which has no ancestors. If Smalltalk couldn't find a method until then it produces an error code. For a complete explanation of Smalltalk there is a very nice tutorial by Andy Valencia: try the command info `(gst)Tutorial' . Additionally the X Smalltalk interface and object browser `blox' (xgst) is included. Besides blox, GNU Smalltalk has two other modules which may be compiled in, tcp and gdbm. All three available modules are compiled to the executable named gst_all; if you need another combination of modules, recompile the source (or write to feedback@suse.de). Happy small talking! |

The protocol allows mainly to retrieve and set variables, addressed as objects in the MIB (Management Information Base). The well-known MIB-2 is defined in RFC 1213 and contains variables related to the TCP/IP protocol suite. |
| sp | The tools of this package provide the possibility to manage SGML and XML documents. It contains the parser `nsgmls' and the supporting programs `sgmlnorm', `spam', `spent', and `s2x' (previous known under the filename `sx'). `s2x' is useful as a converting tool from SGML to XML, the comming WWW standard. You'll find the documentation for all the programs under /usr/share/doc/packages/sp/. |
| sp_libs | Libraries for sp and jade |
| spectcl | An interface builder for Tcl/Tk and Java directly from Sun Microsystems. Documentation: /usr/share/doc/packages/spectcl |
| splitscr | Splitscreen is a telnet-like client intended for two-way interactive communication. It is intended to be used with ttylinkd or conversd. Splitscreen uses NCURSES for screen formatting, and features line editing, a session scroll- back buffer, and an option to save session text to a log- file. |

| squid2 | The Squid V2.2 WWW Proxy Server (2.2 STABLE5 with all fixes) Homepage: http://squid.nlanr.net |
| squid23 | New version of the Squid V2.3 WWW Proxy Server Homepage: http://squid.nlanr.net Important changes since Squid 2.2: Domain name matching: The function which checks for a match between a hostname and a domain name has been rewritten, and its behavior is now slightly different. Previously, the domain ``com'' would match the hostname ``foo.com'', but this is no longer the case. Now, if you must write ``.com'' to match ``foo.com''. Removed dnsservers: In this version, DNS lookups are done by the main Squid process by default. Truncate vs unlink: In version 2.2 Squid truncated disk files (by default) instead of unlinking them. This caused some installations to run out of inodes on the cache disks. Even though truncate makes Squid a bit faster, we have made the default to use unlink again. Look at http://squid.nlanr.net/Versions/v2/2.3/ for a full description. |
| squidgrd | squidGuard is a free (GPL), flexible and ultra fast filter, redirector and access controller plugin for squid. It lets you define multiple access rules with different restrictions for different user groups on a squid cache. squidGuard uses squid's standard redirector interface. |
| strace | With strace you can trace the activity of a program. Information as to any system calls the program made and the signals it has received/processed can be seen. Even child processes can be tracked. |
| strn | This version of strn is based on trn and allows scoring of a news article based on author and subject. |
| su1 | Program which allows selected users to run selected commands as root. |
| sudo | `sudo' is a command that allows users to execute some commands as root. The /etc/sudoers file (edited with `visudo') specifies which users have access to sudo and which commands they can run. `sudo' logs all its activities to syslogd, so the system administrator can keep an eye on things. Sudo asks for the password for initializing an check period of a given time N (where N is defined at installation and is set to 5 minutes by default). |
| susecurs | With this package a script do_chamaeleon is supplied which transform the boring X-cursor into the SuSE chamaeleon. |
| susefont | cmbtt10.mf, cmbtt8.mf, and cmbtt9.mf. |
| susehilf | This package contains the basics of the SuSE Help-System. To prevent unnecessary disk usage the man pages will be formatted "on the fly". Thus you can only view man pages that are already installed. Start `susehelp' by invoking help. susehelp --help shows a list of configuration possibilities. |
| suselxen | SuSE Linux Manual (english) |
| susewm | This package allows you to create in one step the configuration files for the fvwm, fvwm2, fvwm95, bowman, afterstep, cdesim, mwm, ctwm, KDE, and icewm window managers. In the menus you'll only find programs which are really installed in the system. The desktop of the window managers will look the same (considering the particularities of the window managers). For KDE, mwm, ctwm, and icewm there is only support for keeping the menus up to date since these are very different from the other window managers like fvwm. The icons used in the fvwm2 / fvwm95 menus are taken from the package 3dpixms which themselves are generated from the 3dpixm package. |
| swi_pl | Edinburgh-style Prolog compiler including modules, autoload, libraries, Garbage-collector, stack-expandor, C-interface, GNU-readline and GNU-Emacs interface, very fast compiler, X11 interface using XPCE (see http://www.swi.psy.uva.nl/projects/xpce). |
| swig | SWIG is a compiler that attempts to make it easy to integrate C, C++, or Objective-C code with scripting languages including Perl, Tcl, and Python. In a nutshell, you give it a bunch of ANSI C/C++ declarations and it generates an interface between C and your favorite scripting language. However, this is only scratching the surface of what SWIG can do--some of its more advanced features include automatic documentation generation, module and library management, extensive customization options, and more. See the documentation under /usr/share/doc/packages/swig. |
| syslogd | The sysklogd package implements two system log daemons. The syslogd daemon is the general system logging daemon which is responsible for handling requests for syslog services. This version of syslogd is similar to the standard Berkeley product but with a number of compatible extensions. The klogd daemon runs either standalone or as a client of syslogd. Klogd `listens' to kernel log messages, prioritizes them and routes them to either output files or to syslogd. This version of klogd will optionally translate kernel addresses to their symbolic equivalents if provided with a system map. |
| sysvinit | System V style init programs by Miquel van Smoorenburg that controls the booting and shutdown of your system. These support a number of system runlevels, each one associated with a specific set of utilities. For example, normal system runlevel is 2, which starts a getty on virtual consoles tty1-tty6. Runlevel 3 starts xdm. Runlevel 0 shuts down the system. Please see the individual man pages for: inittab, initscript, halt, init, killproc, killall5, powerd, reboot, runlevel, shutdown, and telinit. |
| tarfix | Tools for processing and recover damaged tar archive files. |
| tcl | Tcl is a simple to use text-based scripting language with many built-in features that make it especially nice for writing interactive scripts similar to perl. This package is required if you want to install Tk. |
| tcld | This package contains the configuration scripts, header files and static libraries for the packages tcl, tk, tix, itcl, expect and tclx. It is only required to compile and link C programs and extensions for the named packages. |
| tclldap | This extension makes it possible to access LDAP servers from Tcl scripts. The Tcl interpreter can load it at runtime. |
| tclplug | With this plugin, you can download a special kind of Tcl/Tk scripts (aka. tclets) from the internet and execute them inside your browser as it is known from Java applets. You can find the documentation in /opt/netscape/tclplug/2.0/doc. |
| tclx | Extended Tcl is a superset of standard Tcl. Extended Tcl has three basic functional areas: A set of new commands, a Tcl shell (i.e. a Unix shell-style command line and interactive environment), and a user-extensible library of useful Tcl procedures, any of which can be automatically loaded on the first attempt to execute it. In addition, a detailed help system is available for Tcl/Tk: tclhelp. |
| tcpd | This package contains a small daemon program which can monitor and filter incoming requests for finger, ftp, telnet, rlogin, rsh, exec, tftp, talk and other network services. |
| tcpdump | With this program you can "read" all or only certain packets going over the ethernet. It can be used to debug specific network problems. |
| tcsh | tcsh is an enhanced but completely compatible version of the Berkeley UNIX C shell, csh(1). It is a command language interpreter usable both as an interactive login shell and a shell script command processor. It includes a command-line editor, programmable word completion, spelling correction, a history mechanism, job control, and a C-like syntax. |
| teapot | Teapot is a spreadsheet program for UNIX, which uses modern concepts besides being portable and extensible, for instance three dimensional tables and iterative expressions. It provides various output formats e.g. LaTeX and HTML. There are executables in english, dutch and german available. They are started by typing "teapot_en", "teapot_nl" or "teapot_de". Just typing "teapot" starts the english version. |
| tei | TEI and TEI Lite DTD |
| termcap | The termcap library |
| terminfo | This is the terminfo reference database, maintained by Eric Raymond. This database is the official successor of the 4.4BSD termcap file and contains information about any known terminal. The ncurses library makes use of this database in order to use the terminals correctly. If you just use the Linux console, xterm and VT100, you probably will not need this database - a minimal /usr/share/terminfo tree for these terminal is already included in the ncurses package. |
| texinfo | Texinfo is a documentation system that uses a single source file to produce both on-line information and printed output. Using Texinfo, you can create a printed document with the normal features of a book, including chapters, sections, cross references, and indices. From the same Texinfo source file, you can create a menu-driven, on-line Info file with nodes, menus, cross references, and indices. This package contains a "viewer" to read the documentation files in /usr/share/info. |
| textutil | These are the GNU text file (actually, file contents) processing utilities. Most of these programs have significant advantages over their Unix counterparts, such as greater speed, additional options, and fewer arbitrary limits. The programs in this package are: cat, cksum, comm, csplit, cut, expand, fmt, fold, head, join, md5sum, nl, od, paste, pr, ptx, sort, split, sum, tac, tail, tr, tsort, unexpand, uniq, and wc. |
| tgif | This program has nothing to do with the GIF format. It is an extremely powerful and easy to use vector-oriented drawing program which has every feature you would expect in a drawing utility. |
| the | THE is a text editor that uses both command line commands and key bindings to operate. It is intended to be similar to the VM/CMS System Product Editor, XEDIT and to Mansfield Software's, KEDIT. |
| thttpd | Thttpd is a very compact no-frills httpd serving daemon that can handle very high loads. While lacking many of the advanced features of Roxen or Apache, thttpd operates without forking and is extremely efficient in memory use. Basic support for cgi scripts, authentication, and ssi is provided for. Advanced features include the ability to throttle traffic. |
| tidy | From Overview.html: When editing HTML it's easy to make mistakes. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a simple way to fix these mistakes automatically and tidy up sloppy editing into nicely layed out markup? Well now there is! Dave Raggett's HTML TIDY is a free utility for doing just that. It also works great on the atrociously hard to read markup generated by specialized HTML editors and conversion tools, and can help you identify where you need to pay further attention on making your pages more accessible to people with disabilities. Tidy is able to fix up a wide range of problems and to bring to your attention things that you need to work on yourself. Each item found is listed with the line number and column so that you can see where the problem lies in your markup. Tidy won't generate a cleaned up version when there are problems that it can't be sure of how to handle. These are logged as "errors" rather than "warnings". Tidy features in a recent article on XHTML by webreview.com. |
| tiff | Library and support programs for the TIFF image format. The sources of this package are in the source-package of libgr. |
| timezon2 | These are configuration files that describe possible time zones for glibc-2.2pre |

| tix | The Tix library has by far the greatest collection of widgets for programming with Tcl/Tk. Highlights include: Hierarchical List box, Directory List/Tree View, Spreadsheet, Tabular List box, Combo Box, Motif style FileSelectBox, MS Windows style FileSelectBox, PanedWindow, NoteBook, Spin Control widget .... and many more. With these new widgets, your applications will look great and interact with your users in intuitive ways. |
| tixlpq | Tix frontend to lpq |
| tk | Tk toolkit for Tcl |
| tkconv | A Ham Radio Converse client written in Tcl/Tk. |
| tkdesk | TkDesk is a graphical desktop and file manager for UNIX (especially Linux) and the X Window System. Compared with other file managers available, it offers the most complete set of file operations and services, plus gives the user the ability to configure most aspects of TkDesk in a powerful way. The reason for this is the use of Tcl/Tk as the configuration and (for the greatest part of TkDesk) implementation language. TkDesk has been influenced by various other systems and file managers: NeXT, for laying out the file browser windows, Apple Finder, for the idea of file annotations and, (shock horror), Windows 95, for some other (of course minor and unimportant ;-)) inspirations. This is a brief overview of the most prominent features of TkDesk: o Arbitrary number of automatically refreshed file browsers and file list windows, o Configurable file-specific pop-up-menus, o Drag and drop, o Files and directories may also be dropped onto the root window, o Configurable application bar, with several displays and cascadable pop-up menus for each button, files can also be dropped here, o History of visited directories, opened files, executed commands, and others, which is automatically saved to disk, o Find files through their annotation, name, contents, size or age, o Trash can for safe deletion of files and directories, o Calculation of disk usage for directory hierarchies, o All file operations (find, copy, disk usage, etc.) are carried out in the background, o Traversal of directory hierarchies through recursive cascaded menus, o Bookmarks, create menu entries for often used files/directories, o Comprehensive hypertext online help, o Built-in multi-buffer and undo-capable editor, o Close coupling with Netscape and XEmacs, o Sound support, o Powerful configuration of nearly all aspect of TkDesk through Tcl/Tk, this also allows the Tcl-literate to extend TkDesk in arbitrary ways, o Free of charge! But see the file COPYING, or menu entry Help/License for information on usage and redistribution of TkDesk. |
| tkdraw | Drawing tool save in eps format |
| tkfont | It is a program similar to xfontsel. |
| tkinfo | TkInfo is a tk script to read GNU "info" files and display them. TkInfo can be used stand alone (via WISH), or embedded within an application to provide integrated, on-line help. |
| tkirc | Tkirc is a frontend for IRCII, written in Tcl/Tk. It can be customized with a file named .tkircrc in the users home-directory. An example .tkircrc can be found in /usr/share/doc/packages/tkirc/tkircrc-example |
| tkmail | TkMail is an X Window interface to mail built using Tcl/Tk. Reading, sending, and managing mail messages can almost all be done using only the mouse (except for the body of the message, of course). TkMail writes its folders in the format of the standard Unix `Mail' command. It also uses `sendmail' commands to do the mail delivery work. |
| tkman | A manual-browser for X with hyperlinks, history and more. |
| tkrat | TkRat is a graphical Mail User Agent (MUA) which handles MIME. It is mainly written in C but the user interface is done in tcl/tk. |
| tkworld | tkWorld provides a unique graphical user interface for over 20 frequently used shell commands. The commands can be provided with arguments and combined to pipelines via mouse clicks. |
| tkxcd | This is a diff front end with a look and feel based on Atria Clearcase xcleardiff. Both files are displayed in a window each and the differences are marked in different colors. |
| tmpwatch | A common shortcoming of programs is how they treat data and files in temporary or holding areas. Many people have been silently exploiting many of these problems for some time now. The tool opens the directory specified (defaults to /tmp) and continuously reads the contents. Upon first read it spits out the list that it has built (it attempts an ls -l style output). From that point on it shows any additions or deletions that it sees prefaced with `+' or `-' accordingly. |
| tn5250 | The 5250 is most commonly used for connected to IBM's AS/400. While one can connect to an AS/400 with a VT100 emulator, it's not ideal. The problem is that the 5250 is a screen at a time terminal, whereas the VT100 is a character at a time device. The emulator uses the binary mode of telnet to transfer the 5250 data stream. |
| tnef | This tool uncompresses MS-TNEF archives as used by some mailers |
| traf_vis | traffic-vis is a suite of tools to help determine which hosts have been communicating on an IP network, with whom they have been communicating and the volume of communication that has taken place. Output is plain text, HTML or postscript. |
| transfig | TransFig is a set of tools for creating TeX documents with graphics which are portable, in the sense that they can be printed in a wide variety of environments. The transfig directory contains the source for the transfig command which generates a Makefile which translates Fig code to various graphics description languages using the fig2dev program. In previous releases, this command was implemented as a shell script. Documentation: man transfig |
| tripwire | By the use of tripwire it is possible to observe the filesystem. tripwire generates a database, controlled by a configuration file, of all files, their checksums, etc. and it reports changes. The location of the binary is /var/adm/tripwire/bin/tripwire. A configuration example can be found at /usr/share/doc/packages/tripwire. Tripwire wants its configurationfile to be found at /var/adm/tripwire/tw.config. The database has to be saved at /var/adm/tripwire/db. |
| trn | This trn is compiled so it needs the Network News Transfer Protocol Daemon (nntpd) to get its news. |
| trn_spl | Compiled for reading news from the local spool-directory which resides under /var/spool/news. If you would like another configuration you have to recompile trn. This shouldn't be a problem as trn is effortlessly compilable under Linux. |
| ttf2pt1 | This is a collection of tools and scripts that allow to convert True Type Fonts (as used by MS Wind*ws) to be converted to Postscript Type 1 fonts, so they can be used in X11 and Ghostscript. |
| ttmkfdir | special mkfontdir required for Truetype fonts (*.ttf files) |

| unace | ACE archive extractor |
| unarj | Allows for unpacking of .arj files, which are widely spread in the DOS world. It is included for compatibility reasons to extract packages from DOS. It should not be used for compressing packages under Linux; use gzip which is the standard, instead. |
| unclutt | unclutter removes the cursor image from the screen so that it does not obstruct the area you are looking at after it has not moved for a given time. |
| ungif | convert gifs to various formats |
| units | Units conversion utility |
| unrar | The unRAR utility is a freeware program distributed with source code and developed for extracting, testing and viewing the contents of archives created with the RAR archiver. |
| unzip | UnZip is an extraction utility for archives compressed in .zip format (known as "zip files"). Although highly compatible both with PKWARE's PKZIP(tm) and PKUNZIP utilities for MS-DOS and with Info-ZIP's own Zip program, our primary objectives have been portability and non-MSDOS functionality. |
| url_get | With url_get you may get data from their URL-address. HTTP, Gopher and FTP are supported. For further documentation see /usr/share/doc/packages/url_get . |
| urlview | urlview presents a menu of all URL's from a given text file (eg. a mail), the user may then view the information located on those URL's. |
| userproc | RC Skript for enabling user process debugging |

| uucp | Ian Taylor's Unix to Unix copy: mail and news over modem lines. This is the standard UUCP package of the Free Software Foundation. Configured to use HoneyDanBer and/or Taylor configuration files. With version 6.0 of SuSE Linux we moved the configuration directory to /etc/uucp. Exactly: Tailor config: /etc/uucp HoneyDanBer config: /etc/uucp/hdb_config If you have an own setup under /var/lib/uucp please remember to move it to /etc/uucp. Example configurations can be found under /usr/share/doc/packages/uucp. Remark: We did not include an uucp guest account.

| xntp | The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. It provides client accuracies typically within a millisecond on LANs and up to a few tens of milliseconds on WANs relative to a primary server synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via a Global Positioning Service (GPS) receiver, for example. Typical NTP configurations utilize multiple redundant servers and diverse network paths, in order to achieve high accuracy and reliability. Some configurations include cryptographic authentication to prevent accidental or malicious protocol attacks. ntpd is an operating system daemon which sets and maintains the system time-of-day in synchronism with Internet standard time servers. ntpd is a complete implementation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) version 4, but also retains compatibility with version 3, as defined by RFC-1305, and version 1 and 2, as defined by RFC-1059 and RFC-1119, respectively. ntpd does most computations in 64-bit floating point arithmetic and does relatively clumsy 64-bit fixed point operations only when necessary to preserve the ultimate precision, about 232 picoseconds. While the ultimate precision, is not achievable with ordinary workstations and networks of today, it may be required with future nanosecond CPU clocks and gigabit LANs. The daemon can operate in any of several modes, including symmetric active/passive, client/server broadcast/multicast and manycast. A broadcast/multicast or manycast client can discover remote servers, compute server-client propagation delay correction factors and configure itself automatically. This makes it possible to deploy a fleet of workstations without specifying configuration details specific to the local environment. Ordinarily, ntpd reads the ntp.conf configuration file at startup time in order to determine the synchronization sources and operating modes. It is also possible to specify a working, although limited, configuration entirely on the command line, obviating the need for a configuration file. This may be particularly appropriate when the local host is to be configured as a broadcast/multicast client or manycast client, with all peers being determined by listening to broadcasts at run time. Various internal ntpd variables can be displayed and configuration options altered while the daemon is running using the ntpq and ntpdc utility programs. |
