LTools — README

LTools are a set of small but useful free, open-source productivity-enhancing command-line tools for Unix, Linux and similar open-source operating systems. They embrace the Unix philosophy in that many of them are intended to be used as part of pipes that read from standard input and write to standard output streams, and that they combined so the output of one can be the input to another. Thus, they are also interoperatable with existing UNIX™/Linux commands, whether they are built in or user-contributed.

Note that some of them name-clash with existing commands depending on the host operating system. Therefore, order in the PATH environment variable matters, and as a resolution mechanism, the LTools installer also installs variants prefixed by "l" (e.g. spell(1) is also available as — a soft-link, namely — lspell(1)).

Some LTools were originally started as simple programming exercises when the author wanted to learn and play/experiment with the Rust programming language, and in the month of February 2021, being between two jobs, Jochen Leidner developed a bunch more and bundled them for an initial 1.0.0 release. It is hoped that folks find them useful, and consider contributing, too.
