+A collection of command line utilities found in Slackware Linux.
+
+So far the only differences with what's found in Slackware is that all warnings
+and errors found with GCC and LLVM (3.1) have beed fixed. Some manual pages
+were also created when they were missing.

+/*   B B A N  -  A Better Banner Program  -  Apr84 IBM-PC version   */
+/*  The vax version will not work directly on the PC, because the
+**  UNIX shell metacharacter interpretation caused strings like
+**  'one two three' to be passed as a single command line arg, while
+**  under DOS, it becomes three: "'one", "two", and "three'"
+**  So, we need a scheme for embedding spaces in arguments.
+**  One: choose some other character like underscore '_' and after
+**  command line argument passing, translate it into a space.
+**  Two: alter the program logic to treat single and double
+**  quotes as delimiters, and keep concatenating DOS-passed arguments
+**  until the closing delimiter is detected.
+**  Two is more elegant, but One is easier.

+.SH NAME
+fromdos \- convert DOS text file format to UNIX.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.BI fromdos\ <\ dosfile.txt\ >\ unixfile.txt
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+fromdos takes a DOS text file as stdin and sends a UNIX text file to stdout.
+DOS text file format separates lines of text by two characters: CR followed
+by LF (hex 0d 0a). UNIX text file format separates lines of text with
+a single LF character (hex 0a).  This program changes the CR LF groups found
+in the input stream to LF in the output stream.

+.TH MKTEMP 1 "30 September 2001"
+.SH NAME
+\fBmktemp\fP \- make temporary filename (unique)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBmktemp\fP [\fB\-V\fP] | [\fB\-dqtu\fP] [\fB\-p\fP \fIdirectory\fP] [\fItemplate\fP]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B mktemp
+utility takes the given filename
+.I template
+and overwrites a portion of it to create a unique filename.
+The
+.I template
+may be any filename with six (6)
+`Xs' appended to it, for example
+.I /tmp/tfile.XXXXXX.
+If no
+.I template
+is specified a default of
+.I tmp.XXXXXX
+is used and the
+.B \-t
+flag is implied (see below).
+.PP
+The trailing `Xs' are replaced with a combination
+of the current process number and random letters.
+.PP
+If
+.B mktemp
+can successfully generate a unique filename, the file (or directory)
+is created with file permissions such that it is only readable and writable
+by its owner (unless the
+.B \-u
+flag is given) and the filename is printed to standard output.
+.PP
+.B mktemp
+is provided to allow shell scripts to safely use temporary
+files.  Traditionally, many shell scripts take the name of the program with
+the PID as a suffix and use that as a temporary filename.
+This kind of naming scheme is predictable and the race condition it creates
+is easy for an attacker to win.
+A safer, though still inferior approach
+is to make a temporary directory using the same naming scheme.
+While this does allow one to guarantee that a temporary file will not be
+subverted, it still allows a simple denial of service attack.
+For these reasons it is suggested that
+.B mktemp
+be used instead.
+.PP
+The options are as follows:
+.TP
+.B \-V
+Print the version and exit.
+.TP
+.B \-d
+Make a directory instead of a file.
+.TP
+.BI "\-p " directory
+Use the specified
+.I directory
+as a prefix when generating the temporary filename.
+The
+.I directory
+will be overridden by the user's
+.SM TMPDIR
+environment variable if it is set.
+This option implies the
+.B \-t
+flag (see below).
+.TP
+.B \-q
+Fail silently if an error occurs.
+This is useful if
+a script does not want error output to go to standard error.
+.TP
+.B \-t
+Generate a path rooted in a temporary directory.
+This directory is chosen as follows:
+.RS
+.IP \(bu
+If the user's
+.SM TMPDIR
+environment variable is set, the directory contained therein is used.
+.IP \(bu
+Otherwise, if the
+.B \-p
+flag was given the specified directory is used.
+.IP \(bu
+If none of the above apply,
+.I /tmp
+is used.
+.RE
+.PP
+In this mode, the
+.I template
+(if specified) should be a directory component (as opposed to a full path)
+and thus should not contain any forward slashes.
+.TP
+.B \-u
+Operate in ``unsafe'' mode.
+The temp file will be unlinked before
+.B mktemp
+exits.  This is slightly better than mktemp(3)
+but still introduces a race condition.  Use of this
+option is not encouraged.
+.PP
+The
+.B mktemp
+utility
+exits with a value of 0 on success or 1 on failure.
+.Pp
+Debian packages using
+.Nm
+in maintainer scripts must depend on debianutils >= 1.7.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The following sh(1)
+fragment illustrates a simple use of
+.B mktemp
+where the script should quit if it cannot get a safe
+temporary file.
+.RS
+.nf
+
+TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/example.XXXXXX` || exit 1
+echo "program output" >> $TMPFILE
+
+.fi
+.RE
+The same fragment with support for a user's
+.SM TMPDIR
+environment variable can be written as follows.
+.RS
+.nf
+
+TMPFILE=`mktemp \-t example.XXXXXX` || exit 1
+echo "program output" >> $TMPFILE
+
+.fi
+.RE
+This can be further simplified if we don't care about the actual name of
+the temporary file.  In this case the
+.B \-t
+flag is implied.
+.RS
+.nf
+
+TMPFILE=`mktemp` || exit 1
+echo "program output" >> $TMPFILE
+
+.fi
+.RE
+In some cases, it may be desirable to use a default temporary directory
+other than
+.I /tmp.
+In this example the temporary file will be created in
+.I /extra/tmp
+unless the user's
+.SM TMPDIR
+environment variable specifies otherwise.
+.RS
+.nf
+
+TMPFILE=`mktemp \-p /extra/tmp example.XXXXXX` || exit 1
+echo "program output" >> $TMPFILE
+
+.fi
+.RE
+In some cases, we want the script to catch the error.
+For instance, if we attempt to create two temporary files and
+the second one fails we need to remove the first before exiting.
+.RS
+.nf
+
+TMP1=`mktemp \-t example.1.XXXXXX` || exit 1
+TMP2=`mktemp \-t example.2.XXXXXX`
+if [ $? \-ne 0 ]; then
+	rm \-f $TMP1
+	exit 1
+fi
+
+.fi
+.RE
+Or perhaps you don't want to exit if
+.B mktemp
+is unable to create the file.
+In this case you can protect that part of the script thusly.
+.RS
+.nf
+
+TMPFILE=`mktemp \-t example.XXXXXX` && {
+	# Safe to use $TMPFILE in this block
+	echo data > $TMPFILE
+	...
+	rm \-f $TMPFILE
+}
+
+.fi
+.RE
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.IP TMPDIR 8

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm strings
+.Nd find printable strings in a file
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm strings
+.Op Fl afo
+.Op Fl n Ar number
+.Op Ar file ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Strings
+displays the sequences of printable characters in each of the specified
+files, or in the standard input, by default.
+By default, a sequence must be at least four characters in length
+before being displayed.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl a
+By default,
+.Nm strings
+only searches the text and data segments of object files.
+The
+.Fl a
+option causes
+.Nm strings
+to search the entire object file.
+.It Fl f
+Each string is preceded by the name of the file
+in which it was found.
+.It Fl n
+Specifies the minimum number of characters in a sequence to be
+.Ar number ,
+instead of four.
+.It Fl o
+Each string is preceded by its decimal offset in the
+file.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Nm Strings
+is useful for identifying random binaries, among other things.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr hexdump 1
+.Sh BUGS
+The algorithm for identifying strings is extremely primitive.
+In particular, machine code instructions on certain architectures
+can resemble sequences of ASCII bytes, which
+will fool the algorithm.
+.Sh COMPATIBILITY
+Historic implementations of
+.Nm
+only search the initialized data portion of the object file.
+This was reasonable as strings were normally stored there.
+Given new compiler technology which installs strings in the 
+text portion of the object file, the default behavior was
+changed.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.Bx 3.0 .

+.SH NAME
+.B sysvbanner
+\- display an ASCII art banner text
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B sysvbanner
+.I [message]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B sysvbanner
+takes a string as argument and outputs it as a large ASCII art banner text. It
+aims to be compatible with the UNIX System V
+.B banner
+program.
+
+.SH HISTORY
+This implementation of
+.B banner
+was posted on the comp.sources.misc newsgroup in early july 1988. The motivation
+behind this version of
+.B banner
+was that the BSD
+.B banner
+program works quite differently.
+.PP
+The
+.B banner
+program appeared in UNIX System V. One of its original uses was to create
+highly visible separator pages for print jobs.
+
+.SH COPYRIGHT
+This implementation of
+.B sysvbanner
+is in the public domain.
+
+.SH AUTHORS
+Brian Wallis
+.I <brw@jim.odr.oz>
+wrote the
+.I sysvbanner
+program.

+.SH NAME
+todos \- convert UNIX text file format to DOS.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.BI todos\ <\ unixfile.txt\ >\ dosfile.txt
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+todos takes a UNIX text file as stdin and sends a DOS text file to stdout.
+DOS text file format separates lines of text by two characters: CR followed
+by LF (hex 0d 0a). UNIX text file format separates lines of text with
+a single LF character (hex 0a).  This program changes the LF characters found
+in the input stream to CR LF groups in the output stream.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+fromdos(1).

+.SH NAME

+\- extract binary files from uudecoded files
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B xx
+< file.uu
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B xx
+is shell script that extracts binary files from files encoded in the UNIX-to-UNIX
+(uu) format. It ignores all headers and irrelevant stuff.
+
+.SH BUGS
+.B xx
+has shortfalls like all such scripts/programs, but it works (almost) 100% of
+the time. It was tested against many such tools available at many ftp sites and
+it was found that it had a higher success rate. There are a few C programs out
+there and
+.B xx
+is slower compared to them. But it works even in those cases where they fail to
+work. The only time it will not work is when a uuencoded source file is cut up in
+many pieces and the last part contains less than three source lines in it. Such
+cases are however rare.
