The Power of Moreutils: 8 Advanced Linux Command Line Tools

The full list, as taken from the moreutils webpage:

chronic: runs a command quietly unless it fails
combine: combine the lines in two files using boolean operations
errno: look up errno names and descriptions
ifdata: get network interface info without parsing ifconfig output
ifne: run a program if the standard input is not empty
isutf8: check if a file or standard input is utf-8
lckdo: execute a program with a lock held
mispipe: pipe two commands, returning the exit status of the first
parallel: run multiple jobs at once
pee: tee standard input to pipes
sponge: soak up standard input and write to a file
ts: timestamp standard input
vidir: edit a directory in your text editor
vipe: insert a text editor into a pipe
zrun: automatically uncompress arguments to command

I wish they had better documentation, but most of them are easy enough. You can tldr all of them, at least.

Edit: I'm not sure about the status of parallel. It is listed here, but it is also a separate gnu project, and a much larger and complex program than any of the others.

Edit 2: It is explained on the gnu parallel website:

In February 2009 I tried getting parallel added to the package moreutils. The author never replied to the email or the two reminders, but in June 2009 moreutils chose to add another program called parallel. This choice leads to some confusion even today.

I would recommend sticking with the gnu version myself.

I just recently found out about your channel, and the content is just amazing, the knowledge and explanation is on point, exactly what i'm looking for.

I am ashamed I did not know about moreutils package until now. Thank you for sharing!
