This is a collection of the unix tools that nobody thought to write thirty years ago. Currently it consists of these tools: isutf8 check if a file or standard input is utf-8 sponge soak up standard input and write to a file ts timestamp standard input vidir edit a directory in your text editor vipe insert a text editor into a pipe combine combine the lines in two files using boolean operations ifdata get network interface info without parsing ifconfig output pee tee standard input to pipes zrun automatically uncompress arguments to command mispipe pipe two commands, returning the exit status of the first Its web page is here: http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/moreutils.html Your suggestions of additional tools to add to this collection are apprecitated. The web page lists some that are under consideration but have not yet been included, I also welcome feedback on which of these to include. -- Joey Hess
