Util-linux Prepare Util-linux for compilation: ./configure ADJTIME_PATH=/var/lib/hwclock/adjtime \ --libdir=/usr/lib \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/util-linux-&util-linux-version; \ --disable-chfn-chsh \ --disable-login \ --disable-nologin \ --disable-su \ --disable-setpriv \ --disable-runuser \ --disable-pylibmount \ --disable-static \ --without-python \ --without-systemd \ --without-systemdsystemunitdir \ runstatedir=/run ./configure ADJTIME_PATH=/var/lib/hwclock/adjtime \ --libdir=/usr/lib \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/util-linux-&util-linux-version; \ --disable-chfn-chsh \ --disable-login \ --disable-nologin \ --disable-su \ --disable-setpriv \ --disable-runuser \ --disable-pylibmount \ --disable-static \ --without-python \ runstatedir=/run The --disable and --without options prevent warnings about building components that require packages not in LFS or are inconsistent with programs installed by other packages. Compile the package: make If desired, run the test suite as a non-root user: Running the test suite as the root user can be harmful to your system. To run it, the CONFIG_SCSI_DEBUG option for the kernel must be available in the currently running system and must be built as a module. Building it into the kernel will prevent booting. For complete coverage, other BLFS packages must be installed. If desired, this test can be run after rebooting into the completed LFS system and running: bash tests/run.sh --srcdir=$PWD --builddir=$PWD There is one test that depends on the configuration of the kernel. If CONFIG_USER_NS or CONFIG_PID_NS are not set, the tests will hang forever. To work around the problem, delete one test: rm tests/ts/lsns/ioctl_ns chown -Rv tester . su tester -c "make -k check" Install the package: make install Finally, install the man pages: tar -xf ../util-linux-man-pages-&util-linux-version;.tar.xz --directory /usr/share/man --strip-components=1 Installed programs Installed libraries Installed directories addpart, agetty, blkdiscard, blkid, blkzone, blockdev, cal, cfdisk, chcpu, chmem, choom, chrt, col, colcrt, colrm, column, ctrlaltdel, delpart, dmesg, eject, fallocate, fdformat, fdisk, fincore, findfs, findmnt, flock, fsck, fsck.cramfs, fsck.minix, fsfreeze, fstrim, getopt, hexdump, hwclock, i386, ionice, ipcmk, ipcrm, ipcs, isosize, kill, last, lastb (link to last), ldattach, linux32, linux64, logger, look, losetup, lsblk, lscpu, lsipc, lslocks, lslogins, lsmem, lsns, mcookie, mesg, mkfs, mkfs.bfs, mkfs.cramfs, mkfs.minix, mkswap, more, mount, mountpoint, namei, nsenter, partx, pivot_root, prlimit, raw, readprofile, rename, renice, resizepart, rev, rfkill, rtcwake, script, scriptreplay, setarch, setsid, setterm, sfdisk, sulogin, swaplabel, swapoff (link to swapon), swapon, switch_root, taskset, ul, umount, uname26, unshare, utmpdump, uuidd, uuidgen, uuidparse, wall, wdctl, whereis, wipefs, x86_64, and zramctl libblkid.so, libfdisk.so, libmount.so, libsmartcols.so, and libuuid.so /usr/include/blkid, /usr/include/libfdisk, /usr/include/libmount, /usr/include/libsmartcols, /usr/include/uuid, /usr/share/doc/util-linux-&util-linux-version;, and /var/lib/hwclock Short Descriptions addpart Informs the Linux kernel of new partitions addpart agetty Opens a tty port, prompts for a login name, and then invokes the login program agetty blkdiscard Discards sectors on a device blkdiscard blkid A command line utility to locate and print block device attributes blkid blkzone Runs zone command on the given block device blkzone blockdev Allows users to call block device ioctls from the command line blockdev cal Displays a simple calendar cal cfdisk Manipulates the partition table of the given device cfdisk chcpu Modifies the state of CPUs chcpu chmem Configures memory chmem choom Displays and adjusts OOM-killer score choom chrt Manipulates real-time attributes of a process chrt col Filters out reverse line feeds col colcrt Filters nroff output for terminals that lack some capabilities, such as overstriking and half-lines colcrt colrm Filters out the given columns colrm column Formats a given file into multiple columns column ctrlaltdel Sets the function of the Ctrl+Alt+Del key combination to a hard or a soft reset ctrlaltdel delpart Asks the Linux kernel to remove a partition delpart dmesg Dumps the kernel boot messages dmesg eject Ejects removable media eject fallocate Preallocates space to a file fallocate fdformat Low-level formats a floppy disk fdformat fdisk Manipulates the partition table of the given device fdisk fincore Counts pages of file contents in core fincore findfs Finds a file system by label or Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) findfs findmnt Is a command line interface to the libmount library for work with mountinfo, fstab and mtab files findmnt flock Acquires a file lock and then executes a command with the lock held flock fsck Is used to check, and optionally repair, file systems fsck fsck.cramfs Performs a consistency check on the Cramfs file system on the given device fsck.cramfs fsck.minix Performs a consistency check on the Minix file system on the given device fsck.minix fsfreeze Is a very simple wrapper around FIFREEZE/FITHAW ioctl kernel driver operations fsfreeze fstrim Discards unused blocks on a mounted filesystem fstrim getopt Parses options in the given command line getopt hexdump Dumps the given file in hexadecimal or in another given format hexdump hwclock Reads or sets the system's hardware clock, also called the Real-Time Clock (RTC) or Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) clock hwclock i386 A symbolic link to setarch i386 ionice Gets or sets the io scheduling class and priority for a program ionice ipcmk Creates various IPC resources ipcmk ipcrm Removes the given Inter-Process Communication (IPC) resource ipcrm ipcs Provides IPC status information ipcs isosize Reports the size of an iso9660 file system isosize kill Sends signals to processes kill last Shows which users last logged in (and out), searching back through the /var/log/wtmp file;
