| Description: The EXT2 file system utilities. | |
| EXT2 stands for "Extended Filesystem", version 2. It's the main | |
| filesystem type used for hard disks on Debian and other Linux systems. | |
| . | |
| This package contains programs for creating, checking, and maintaining EXT2 | |
| filesystems, and the generic `fsck' wrapper. | |
| . | |
| This release may break older versions of dump and quota. | |

| Description: The Common Error Description library - shared libraries. | |
| libcomerr is an attempt to present a common error-handling mechanism to | |
| manipulate the most common form of error code in a fashion that does not | |
| have the problems identified with mechanisms commonly in use. | |
| . | |
| It is mainly used by the EXT2-filesystem tools. | |

| Description: "Sub-System" library for simple command-line interface parsing - shared libs | |
| This package contains the shared libs to support command-line | |
| interface parsers generated with the ssg-dev package. | |
| . | |
| It was originally inspired by the Multics SubSystem library. | |

| Description: "Sub-System" library for simple command-line interface parsing - devel. files | |
| This package includes a tool that parses a command table to generate | |
| a simple command-line interface parser, the include files needed to | |
| compile and use it, and the static libs. | |
| . | |
| It was originally inspired by the Multics SubSystem library. | |

| Description: The headers and static libraries for ext2fs-aware tools-development. | |
| EXT2FS stands for "Extended Filesystem", version 2. It's the filesystem | |
| type used for hard disks on Debian and other Linux systems. | |
| . | |
| This package contains the headers and shared libraries needed to compile | |
| ext2fs-aware programs. Only programmers that really manipulate | |
| features specific to the ext2 filesystem will need this. Most | |
| programmers will use the generic filesystem-independent interface | |
| from libc. | |
| . | |
| It also contains dev files for 2 other libs (e2p and uuid) used by | |
| the e2fsprogs, but which are not yet packaged all by themselves | |
| because they lack documentation. They may also lack some support | |
| files, by I can't really know until someone uses them... | |
| . | |
| libe2p is for user-level e2fsprogs commands. It's used by dumpe2fs, | |
| chattr, and lsattr. Functions in libe2p typically have two | |
| characteristics (a) don't require that block device containing the | |
| filesystem be opened directly (functions in libext2fs do), and (b) | |
| libe2p typically contains printf statements or parse user input, and so | |
| have more internationalization issues. | |
| . | |
| libuuid generates and parses 128-bit universally unique id's (UUID's), | |
| using a standard which is blessed by both Microsoft and DCE, and is | |
| being proposed as an internet standard. See the internet-draft: | |
