HFS+, HFS Plus, or Mac OS Extended are names for a file system developed by Apple Computer to replace their Hierarchical File System (HFS). In addition to being the default file system on modern Apple computers, HFS+ is one of two formats, FAT being the other, that are supported by the iPod hard-disk based music player. Unlike FAT, HFS+ supports UNIX style file permissions, which makes it useful, for serving and sharing files in a secured manner. As Apple Computer's devices and systems become increasingly ubiquitous, it becomes important that Linux fully support this format. This package provides tools to create and check HFS+ filesystems under Linux. The Linux kernel does not support writing to HFS+ journals, writing to a hfsplus partition is recommended only after disabling journaling; however, the kernel, as of version 2.6.16, supports case-sensitivity (also known as HFSX) commit.
Contains the basic directories and files needed for icon theme support.
The hippo-canvas library contains a canvas widget developed by the Mugshot team for displaying GTK+ UI across multiple platforms.
The hippo-canvas-python package contains a Python interface.
Hive files are the undocumented binary files that Windows uses to store the Windows Registry on disk. Hivex is a library that can read and write to these files. 'hivexsh' is a shell you can use to interactively navigate a hive binary file. 'hivexregedit' lets you export and merge to the textual regedit format. 'hivexml' can be used to convert a hive file to a more useful XML format. In order to get access to the hive files themselves, you can copy them from a Windows machine. They are usually found in %systemroot%\system32\config. For virtual machines we recommend using libguestfs or guestfish to copy out these files. libguestfs also provides a useful high-level tool called 'virt-win-reg' (based on hivex technology) which can be used to query specific registry keys in an existing Windows VM. For OCaml bindings, see 'ocaml-hivex-devel'. For Perl bindings, see 'perl-hivex'. For Python bindings, see 'python-hivex'. For Ruby bindings, see 'ruby-hivex'.
This package provides commands which can be used to display the system's DNS name, and to display or set its hostname or NIS domain name.
