This directory contains various utilities I've created over the years, most too small to be worthy of the overhead of creating a stand-alone package for, but still potentially useful to other people. My aim here is to package them together in a simple fashion so that people can cherry-pick those they're most interested in. Some of the utilities may also have separate stand-alone releases, but that is not guaranteed.

Most of these utilities are for Unix systems, some for a specific Unix (generally OpenBSD), though I aim to make as many of them portable as is practical. Portability fixes are always greatly appreciated.

In that tradition, many of the utilities need little more than a Unix shell; some require other languages (e.g. Python); and some may require other external tools. Checking the first few lines of each utility should make it obvious what its requirements are. Each utility is otherwise self-contained: if you wish to use one or more of them, simply copy them to somewhere in your path (I use ~/bin/, with my $PATH set appropriately).

Further, more detailed, documentation for some of the utilities can be found at my website:
