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.
The hfsutils-x11 package includes a Tk-based front end for browsing and copying files, and a Tcl package and interface for scriptable access to volumes. A C library for low-level access to volumes is included in the hfsutils-devel package.
Contains the basic directories and files needed for icon theme support.
