The configuration and firmware upgrade utility for Silicon Dust's networked HDTV dual-tuner HDHomeRun device.
Hdparm is a useful system utility for setting (E)IDE hard drive parameters. For example, hdparm can be used to tweak hard drive performance and to spin down hard drives for power conservation.
help2man is a script to create simple man pages from the --help and --version output of programs. Since most GNU documentation is now in info format, this provides a way to generate a placeholder man page pointing to that resource while still providing some useful information.
Hesiod is a system which uses existing DNS functionality to provide access to databases of information that changes infrequently. It is often used to distribute information kept in the /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/printcap files, among others.
Hexedit shows a file both in ASCII and in hexadecimal. The file can be a device as the file is read a piece at a time. Hexedit can be used to modify the file and search through it.
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.
