util-linux 2.38.1-5ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

 This package contains some extra BSD utilities: col, colcrt, colrm, column,
 hd, hexdump, look, ul and write.
 Other BSD utilities are provided by bsdutils and calendar.

 This package contains the bare minimum of BSD utilities needed for a Debian
 system: logger, renice, script, scriptlive, scriptreplay and wall. The
 remaining standard BSD utilities are provided by bsdextrautils.

 This program will eject CD-ROMs (assuming your drive supports the CDROMEJECT
 ioctl). It also allows setting the autoeject feature.
 .
 On supported ATAPI/IDE multi-disc CD-ROM changers, it allows changing
 the active disc.
 .
 You can also use eject to properly disconnect external mass-storage
 devices like digital cameras or portable music players.

 This package contains the classic fdisk, sfdisk and cfdisk partitioning
 utilities from the util-linux suite.
 .
 The utilities included in this package allow you to partition
 your hard disk. The utilities supports both modern and legacy
 partition tables (eg. GPT, MBR, etc).
 .
 The fdisk utility is the classical text-mode utility.
 The cfdisk utilitity gives a more userfriendly curses based interface.
 The sfdisk utility is mostly for automation and scripting uses.

 The blkid library allows system programs such as fsck and mount to
 quickly and easily find block devices by filesystem UUID or label.
 This allows system administrators to avoid specifying filesystems by
 hard-coded device names and use a logical naming system instead.
 .
 This package contains the development environment for the blkid library.

 The libfdisk library is used for manipulating partition tables. It is
 the core of the fdisk, cfdisk, and sfdisk tools.
 .
 This package contains the development environment for the fdisk library.

 The libfdisk library is used for manipulating partition tables. It is
 the core of the fdisk, cfdisk, and sfdisk tools.

 This device mounting library is used by mount and umount helpers.
 .
 This package contains the development environment for the mount library.

 This device mounting library is used by mount and umount helpers.

 This smart column output alignment library is used by fdisk utilities.
 .
 This package contains the development environment for the mount library.

 This smart column output alignment library is used by fdisk utilities.

 The libuuid library generates and parses 128-bit Universally Unique
 IDs (UUIDs). A UUID is an identifier that is unique within the space
 of all such identifiers across both space and time. It can be used for
 multiple purposes, from tagging objects with an extremely short lifetime
 to reliably identifying very persistent objects across a network.
 .
 See RFC 4122 for more information.

 This package provides the mount(8), umount(8), swapon(8),
 swapoff(8), and losetup(8) commands.

 rfkill is a simple tool for accessing the Linux rfkill device interface,
 which is used to enable and disable wireless networking devices, typically
 WLAN, Bluetooth and mobile broadband.

 This package contains a number of important utilities, most of which
 are oriented towards maintenance of your system. Some of the more
 important utilities included in this package allow you to view kernel
 messages, create new filesystems, view block device information,
 interface with real time clock, etc.

 Tools commonly found on systems where humans login interactively,
 or are needed with non-standard system configurations.

 This package contains the internationalization files for the util-linux
 package.
 .
 They are needed when you want the programs in util-linux to print their
 messages in other languages than English, or read manual pages in another
 language than English.

 The libuuid library generates and parses 128-bit Universally Unique IDs
 (UUIDs). See RFC 4122 for more information.
 .
 This package contains the development environment for the uuid library.

 to reliably identifying very persistent objects across a network.
 .
 See RFC 4122 for more information.
 .
 This package contains the uuidgen program and the uuidd daemon.
 .
 The uuidd daemon is used to generate UUIDs, especially time-based
 UUIDs, in a secure and guaranteed-unique fashion, even in the face of
 large numbers of threads trying to grab UUIDs running on different CPUs.
 It is used by libuuid as well as the uuidgen program.
