xutils 6.8.2-10.3 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu hoary
xutils provides a set of utility programs shipped with the X Window System
that do not require the X libraries; many of these programs are useful
even on a system that does not have any X clients or X servers installed.
.
The programs in this package include:
- bdftopcf, which converts BDF fonts to PCF fonts;
- bdftruncate and ucs2any, tools to generate fonts with various encodings
from ISO 10646-encoded fonts
- ccmakedep, a version of makedepend which "does it right"
- cleanlinks, a program to remove dangling symlinks and empty directories
from a shadow link tree (created with lndir)
- fslsfonts, a tool that lists fonts served by an X font server;
- imake, a C preprocessor interface to the make utility;
- lndir, a tool that creates a shadow directory of symbolic links to
another directory tree;
- luit, a filter that can be run between an arbitrary application and a
UTF-8 terminal emulator;
- makedepend, a tool to create dependencies in makefiles;
- makeg, a tool for making debuggable executables;
- makepsres, a tool that creates PostScript language resource database
files;
- makestrs, a tool that makes string table C source and header(s);
- mkcfm, a tool that create summaries of font metric files in CID font
directories;
- mkdirhier, a tool that creates a directory hierarchy;
- mkfontdir, a program to generate fonts.dir files;
- scanpci, a utility for retrieving information about the PCI bus and
devices on it (not available on all architectures);
- pcitweak, a utility that can be used to examine or change registers in
the PCI configuration space (not available on all architectures);
- pswrap, a tool that creates C procedures from segments of PostScript
language code;
- resize, which prints a shell command for setting the TERM and TERMCAP
environment variables to indicate the current size of the xterm (or
compatible program) window from which the command is run;
- revpath, which generates a relative path that can be used to undo a
change-
- rstart, a remote start client;
- rstartd, a remote start daemon activated by rstart connections;
- sessreg, a simple program for managing utmp/wtmp entries;
- showfont, a font dumper for use with an X font server;
- showrgb, a decompiler for RGB color-name databases;
- xfsinfo, an X font server information utility;
- xmkmf, a tool that creates a Makefile from an Imakefile; and
- xon, a tool that starts an X program on a remote machine.
.
Installation of an rsh or ssh daemon (server) is necessary if rstartd is
to be used, and installation of an rsh or ssh client is necessary if
rstart is to be used. The luit program requires locale information from
the xlibs-data package.
.
imake uses the C preprocessor (cpp) as a macro processor. The GNU C
preprocessor's "-traditional" support misbehaves in early releases of the GCC
3.3 series; therefore, this package conflicts with those versions.
