RPM Package Manager (RPM) RPM Package Manager ( RPM) (originally Red Hat Package Manager, now a recursive acronym) is a free and open-source package management system. [ 6] The name RPM refers to the .rpm file format and the package manager program itself. RPM was intended primarily for Linux distributions; the file format is the baseline ...
The pax format is designed so that all implementations able to read the UStar format will be able to read the pax format as well. The only exceptions are files that make use of extended features, such as longer file names. For compatibility, these are encoded in the tar files as special x or g type files, typically under a PaxHeaders.XXXX ...
This is a list of file signatures, data used to identify or verify the content of a file.Such signatures are also known as magic numbers or Magic Bytes.; Many file formats are not intended to be read as text.
Lists the contents of a directory in a standardized machine-readable format. MLST RFC 3659 Provides data about exactly the object named on its command line in a standardized machine-readable format. MODE RFC 959 Sets the transfer mode (Stream, Block, or Compressed). NLST RFC 959 Returns a list of file names in a specified directory. NOOP RFC 959
md5sum. md5sum is a computer program that calculates and verifies 128-bit MD5 hashes, as described in RFC 1321. The MD5 hash functions as a compact digital fingerprint of a file. As with all such hashing algorithms, there is theoretically an unlimited number of files that will have any given MD5 hash. However, it is very unlikely that any two ...
The Single UNIX Specification (SUS) specifies that a series of tests are performed on the file specified on the command line: . if the file cannot be read, or its Unix file type is undetermined, the file program will indicate that the file was processed but its type was undetermined.
An 8.3 filename (also called a short filename or SFN) is one that obeys the filename convention used by old versions of DOS and versions of Microsoft Windows prior to Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.5. It is also used in modern Microsoft operating systems as an alternate filename to the long filename, to provide compatibility with legacy programs.
In computing, a hex dump is a textual hexadecimal view (on screen or paper) of (often, but not necessarily binary) computer data, from memory or from a computer file or storage device. Looking at a hex dump of data is usually done in the context of either debugging, reverse engineering or digital forensics. [ 1]
