GNU grep

Grep searches one or more input files for lines containing a match to a specified pattern. By default, grep prints the matching lines.

ImageMagick

ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (over 100) including DPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PhotoCD, PNG, Postscript, SVG, and TIFF. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale ... [More] , shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves. The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming language. ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you may freely use, copy, modify, and distribute in both open and proprietary applications. [Less]

mutt

Mutt is a small but very powerful text-based mail client for Unix operating systems. Though written from scratch, Mutt's initial interface was based largely on the ELM mail client. To a large extent, Mutt is still very ELM-like in presentation of information in menus (and in fact, ELM users ... [More] will find it quite painless to switch as the default key bindings are identical). As development progressed, features found in other popular clients such as PINE and MUSH have been added, the result being a hybrid, or "mutt." [Less]

The MacPorts Project

The MacPorts Project's main goal is to provide an easy way to install various open-source software products on the Darwin OS family, with Mac OS X being the primary target. There are currently over 8000 ports available, with more being added on a regular basis.

file

File tests each argument in an attempt to classify it. There are three sets of tests, performed in this order: filesystem tests, magic number tests, and language tests. The first test that succeeds causes the file type to be printed. Starting with version 4, the file command is not much more than a wrapper around the "magic" library.

ack

ack is a tool like grep, aimed at programmers with large trees of heterogeneous source code. ack is written purely in Perl, and takes advantage of the power of Perl's regular expressions. * Searches recursively through directories by default, while ignoring .svn, CVS and other VCS ... [More] directories. * ack ignores most of the crap you don't want to search * Lets you specify file types to search, as in --perl or --nohtml. * Color highlighting of search results. * Uses real Perl regular expressions, not a GNU subset. * ack is pure Perl, so consistent across all platforms. It even comes as a single standalone program with no module dependencies. [Less]

Yakuake

claimed by KDE

Yakuake is a drop-down terminal emulator based on KDE Konsole technology.

aria2

aria2 is a utility for downloading files. The supported protocols are HTTP(S), FTP, BitTorrent (DHT, PEX, MSE/PE), and Metalink. It can download one or more files individually or from multiple sources/protocols at the same time and tries to utilize your maximum download bandwidth (by using ... [More] multiple threads and downloading data from HTTP(S)/FTP, while also uploading to the BitTorrent swarm). Using Metalink's chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of data while downloading a file like BitTorrent. The physical memory usage is typically 3MB(normal HTTP/FTP downloads) to 6MB(BitTorrent downloads). CPU usage in BitTorrent with download speed of 1500KB/sec is around 6%. [Less]

Commons CLI

claimed by Apache Software Foundation

The Commons CLI library provides an API for processing command line interfaces. It was formed by the merger of ideas and code from three different libraries - Werken, Avalon and Optz.

bash-completion

bash_completion extends bashs standard completion behavior to achieve complex command lines with just a few keystrokes. This project was conceived to produce programmable completion routines for the most common Linux/UNIX commands, reducing the amount of typing sysadmins and programmers need to do on a daily basis.
