It's the main 14 filesystem type used for hard disks on Debian and other Linux systems. 15 . 16 This package contains programs for creating, checking, and maintaining EXT2 17 filesystems, and the generic `fsck' wrapper. 18 . 19 This release may break older versions of dump and quota. 20 21 Package: comerr2g 22 Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} 23 Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<< 1.10-6), comerr2 24 Architecture: any 25 Description: The Common Error Description library - shared libraries. 26 libcomerr is an attempt to present a common error-handling mechanism to 27 manipulate the most common form of error code in a fashion that does not 28 have the problems identified with mechanisms commonly in use. 29 . 30 It is mainly used by the EXT2-filesystem tools. 31 32 Package: ss2g 33 Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} 34 Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<< 1.10-6), ss2 35 Architecture: any 36 Description: "Sub-System" library for simple command-line interface parsing - shared libs 37 This package contains the shared libs to support command-line 38 interface parsers generated with the ssg-dev package. 39 . 40 It was originally inspired by the Multics SubSystem library. 41 42 Package: e2fslibsg 43 Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} 44 Provides: ext2fs2g, e2p2g, uuid1g 45 Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<= 1.10-7) 46 Architecture: any 47 Description: The EXT2 file system shared libs. 48 EXT2 stands for "Extended Filesystem", version 2. It's the filesystem type 49 used for hard disks on Debian and other Linux systems. 50 . 51 This package contains shared libraries needed by the utility programs. 52 53 Package: comerrg-dev 54 Section: devel 55 Priority: extra 56 Depends: ${libcdev:Depends}, comerr2g 57 Suggests: doc-base 58 Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<< 1.10-6), comerr-dev 59 Architecture: any 60 Description: The Common Error Description library - headers and static libraries. 61 libcomerr is an attempt to present a common error-handling mechanism to 62 manipulate the most common form of error code in a fashion that does not 63 have the problems identified with mechanisms commonly in use. 64 65 Package: ssg-dev 66 Section: devel 67 Priority: extra 68 Depends: ${libcdev:Depends}, ss2g 69 Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<< 1.10-6), ss-dev 70 Architecture: any 71 Description: "Sub-System" library for simple command-line interface parsing - devel. files 72 This package includes a tool that parses a command table to generate 73 a simple command-line interface parser, the include files needed to 74 compile and use it, and the static libs. 75 . 76 It was originally inspired by the Multics SubSystem library. 77 78 Package: e2fslibsg-dev 79 Section: devel 80 Priority: extra 81 Depends: ${libcdev:Depends}, e2fslibsg, comerrg-dev 82 Suggests: doc-base 83 Provides: ext2fsg-dev, e2pg-dev, uuidg-dev 84 Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<< 1.10-6), e2fslibs-dev 85 Architecture: any 86 Description: The headers and static libraries for ext2fs-aware tools-development. 87 EXT2FS stands for "Extended Filesystem", version 2. It's the filesystem 88 type used for hard disks on Debian and other Linux systems. 89 . 90 This package contains the headers and shared libraries needed to compile 91 ext2fs-aware programs. Only programmers that really manipulate 92 features specific to the ext2 filesystem will need this. Most 93 programmers will use the generic filesystem-independent interface 94 from libc. 95 . 96 It also contains dev files for 2 other libs (e2p and uuid) used by 97 the e2fsprogs, but which are not yet packaged all by themselves 98 because they lack documentation. They may also lack some support 99 files, by I can't really know until someone uses them... 100 . 101 libe2p is for user-level e2fsprogs commands. It's used by dumpe2fs, 102 chattr, and lsattr. Functions in libe2p typically have two 103 characteristics (a) don't require that block device containing the 104 filesystem be opened directly (functions in libext2fs do), and (b) 105 libe2p typically contains printf statements or parse user input, and so 106 have more internationalization issues. 107 . 108 libuuid generates and parses 128-bit universally unique id's (UUID's), 109 using a standard which is blessed by both Microsoft and DCE, and is 110 being proposed as an internet standard.
