| Bash | Version: 4.4-2 | arm |
GNU Bourne Again SHell
Bash is an sh-compatible command language interpreter that executes
commands read from the standard input or from a file. Bash also
incorporates useful features from the Korn and C shells (ksh and csh).
Bash is ultimately intended to be a conformant implementation of the
IEEE POSIX Shell and Tools specification (IEEE Working Group 1003.2).
The Programmable Completion Code, by Ian Macdonald, is now found in
the bash-completion package.

| Bc | Version: 1.07.1-4 | arm |
The GNU bc arbitrary precision calculator language
GNU bc is an interactive algebraic language with arbitrary precision which
follows the POSIX 1003.2 draft standard, with several extensions including
multi-character variable names, an `else' statement and full Boolean
expressions. GNU bc does not require the separate GNU dc program.

| Bzip2 | Version: 1.0.6-6 | arm |
high-quality block-sorting file compressor - utilities
bzip2 is a freely available, patent free, data compressor.
bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block-sorting text
compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally
considerably better than that achieved by more conventional
LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM
family of statistical compressors.
The archive file format of bzip2 (.bz2) is incompatible with that of its
predecessor, bzip (.bz).

| Dash | Version: 0.5.8-5 | arm |
Debian Ash is a smaller faster shell than bash, used by Ubuntu for booting.
Some bash features are not supported, so scripts may need editing in places.
*Can be used interactively from standard input
*Ash scripting language for use with functions, builtin commands, external
CoreUtils commands and unix utilities like grep, mawk and sed.
*Potential for running Gnu makefiles with bash/ash scripts in native RISC OS
*Has standard builtins, including exec, printf, echo, test, cd.
*Currently, added non-standard builtins are cat, rm and mv

This package is designed to work on a system with the following environment
| DiffUtils | Version: 3.7-1 | arm |
File comparison utilities
The diffutils package provides the diff, diff3, sdiff, and cmp programs.
`diff' shows differences between two files, or each corresponding file
in two directories. `cmp' shows the offsets and line numbers where
two files differ. `cmp' can also show all the characters that
differ between the two files, side by side. `diff3' shows differences
among three files. `sdiff' merges two files interactively.
The set of differences produced by `diff' can be used to distribute
updates to text files (such as program source code) to other people.
This method is especially useful when the differences are small compared
to the complete files. Given `diff' output, the `patch' program can
update, or "patch", a copy of the file.

GNU awk, a pattern scanning and processing language
`awk', a program that you can use to select particular records in a
file and perform operations upon them.
Gawk is the GNU Project's implementation of the AWK programming language.
It conforms to the definition of the language in the POSIX 1003.2 Command
Language And Utilities Standard. This version in turn is based on the
description in The AWK Programming Language, by Aho, Kernighan, and
Weinberger, with the additional features defined in the System V Release
4 version of UNIX awk. Gawk also provides more recent Bell Labs awk
extensions, and some GNU-specific extensions.

| Grep | Version: 3.3-1 | arm |
GNU grep, egrep and fgrep
'grep' is a utility to search for text in files; it can be used from the
command line or in scripts. Even if you don't want to use it, other packages
on your system probably will.
The GNU family of grep utilities may be the "fastest grep in the west".
GNU grep is based on a fast lazy-state deterministic matcher (about
twice as fast as stock Unix egrep) hybridized with a Boyer-Moore-Gosper
search for a fixed string that eliminates impossible text from being
considered by the full regexp matcher without necessarily having to
look at every character. The result is typically many times faster
than Unix grep or egrep. (Regular expressions containing backreferencing
will run more slowly, however.)

| Mawk | Version: 1.3.3-2 |
a pattern scanning and text processing language
Mawk is an interpreter for the AWK Programming Language. The AWK
language is useful for manipulation of data files, text retrieval and
processing, and for prototyping and experimenting with algorithms. Mawk
is a new awk meaning it implements the AWK language as defined in Aho,
Kernighan and Weinberger, The AWK Programming Language, Addison-Wesley
Publishing, 1988. (Hereafter referred to as the AWK book.) Mawk conforms
to the POSIX 1003.2 (draft 11.3) definition of the AWK language
which contains a few features not described in the AWK book, and mawk
provides a small number of extensions.
Mawk is smaller and much faster than gawk. It has some compile-time
limits such as NF = 32767 and sprintf buffer = 1020.

| P7zip | Version: 16.02-1 | arm |
7zr file archiver with high compression ratio
p7zip is the Unix command-line port of 7-Zip, a file archiver that
handles the 7z format which features very high compression ratios.
p7zip provides:
- /usr/bin/7zr
a standalone minimal version of the 7-zip tool that only handles
7z, LZMA and XZ archives. 7z compression is 30-50% better than ZIP
compression.
- /usr/bin/p7zip
a gzip-like wrapper around 7zr.
p7zip can be used with popular compression interfaces (such as File
Roller or Nautilus).
Another package, p7zip-full, provides 7z and 7za which support more
compression formats.

sets of files with others.
