toolbox/utilities README
A subtree containing various utilities
`!' indicates new or updated as of version 4.2
with v4.2, we have begun including links as well to
programs qualifying as utilities even though they exist
elsewhere in the tree. these are indicated with "l->"
l-> VCal: a simple calendar program with alarms.
! cd-catalog: contains July 31, 1994 versions of music catalog files
for CDman(1) and cdplayer(1). The music catalog stores
titles, artists and program information for Compact Discs.
When a CD is inserted in the CD-ROM drive, CDman searches
the music catalog for an entry containing catalog
information for that recording. If it finds one, it
displays the information in its large display panel. Data
from the recording's table of contents is used as the key
for searching the music catalog.
l-> cmapdoctor: a scanner/viewer of X colormaps and visuals including
overlays, underlays, and popups. this app can be used to
diagnose/debug/verify colormaps and their contents in
applications using multiple colormaps and visuals.
l-> fconv: a Motif-based numeric format conversion utility for hex,
octal and decimal equivalents.
findSubSys: find which subsystem a file is installed from.
Sometimes one needs to know which subsystem a file was
installed from. fss finds out the name of the inst subsystem
which installed a file. Use it like this:
% fss /usr/etc/{ping,cvpcsd}
eoe2.sw.tcp usr/etc/ping
CaseVision.sw.pcsd usr/etc/cvpcsd
l-> gmemusage: a graphical memory usage display tool, developed at Silicon
Graphics to help programmers analyze how their programs and
the system as a whole is using memory. It has proven to be
quite useful to programmers at Silicon Graphics, and hopefully
will be useful to Silicon Graphics developers as well.
l-> gvi: a modest graphical front end to the vi(1) text editor. By
placing each vi editing window on top of each other and using
the ViewKit TabPanel, one can easily select among editing
sessions. Each vi editing window has a tab (like a rolodex
tab) associated with it.
parasol: Analyze FORTRAN source to assist in parallel porting.
A static analyzer to identify global data dependencies in
Fortran from a specified thread point. This has proven very
valuable in identifiying common blocks to be made local or to
be locked. Doesn't do C and needs one major mod to follow
modifications to passed parameters.
! sgihelp_dev: SGIHelp development tools to integrate help with an
application in the Indigo Magic User Environment contains
inst-able images of data and executables including an example
program with help integrated into it, and a sample of various
structures you can create in the help content for your app.
Example 1, in /usr/share/Insight/XHELP/samples/exampleApp,
shows a complete X11/Motif app integrating the library calls
and helpmap file with the SGML help file. The second example,
in /usr/share/Insight/XHELP/samples/sampleDoc, demonstrates the
various valid SGML structures when constructing a SGML instance
of the XHELP DTD. The /usr/share/Insight/XHELP/HELPDEV.txt
document discusses how to integrate help with your application
in more detail. Please read that file to begin your adventure
of integrating SGIHelp into your application.
l-> short_timeout: checks whether a remote host responds quickly, avoiding
a long wait for a network timeout.
! uil2VK: contains a code generator that can be used with builder
Xcessory to generate code compatible with the ViewKit class
library. BuilderXcessory is a product of ICS, and can be
purchased directly from them or through SGI's ExpressWare.
l-> xcontact: Address Book and Contact Management Software.
l-> xshowcmap2: an extension to xshowcmap and useful in debugging problems
dealing with multiple colormaps and/or visuals. modified with
three new optional arguments:
-visid allows specifying the visual id.
-cmap allows specifying the colormap id.
-windowid allows specifying a window id.
