Sometimes the command line is more than enough - better.
The ACP contains a number of additional applications - 'tools' - meant to be used within Terminal.app or CLIX.
| 1740 | Dumps AppleDouble files. Named after the RFC on which they're based. |
| archinfo | Command line variant of ArchInfo. |
| beep | A makeshift two cluster tool that does one thing only: a beep (with your default beep sound). |
| bundle | Shows NSBundle info. |
| catinfo | Provides rudimentary 'HFS' information on file items (in raw HFS format). |
| chex | Changes file extensions. |
| class | Shows runtime info for the specified registered Objective-C classes. Use '-R' to recurse the classes. |
| clearff | Clears Finder flags on files. |
| cocoastrings | Dumps Cocoa global strings differing from their identifiers. Use '-a' to dump all. |
| cxfs | Formats man output for use in CLIX. |
| dirdump | Dumps any directory to a file. Read the file with 'hexdump -Cv'. |
| dup | Duplicates files and directories. |
| encodings | Displays all available NeXTSTEP string encodings in hexadecimal format together with their localised names. Works seamlessly with CLIX. |
| forks | A common misconception is that HFS files may have only two forks. For any given path - file or directory - forks enumerates all the forks, showing the names of the forks, their sizes, and their so-called 'physical sizes' (HFS records which include the file slack). |
| forkswho | Runs 'unfork' and 'file' to analyse fork contents. |
| gde | Compares alternative directory reading methods to find cloaked items. |
| mach-o-reader | Dumps Mach-O executable header information. |
| make_services | Regenerates the Services menu much the same way its NeXTSTEP forerunner did. Without this tool, you have to log out and in again or reboot your computer to see changes take effect. Works seamlessly with CLIX. |
| md | Creates a message digest for a given file in DSS, DSS1, MD2, MD5, MDC2, RIPEMD-160, SHA, or SHA-1. |
| nsalias | Dumps raw '_NSAlias' information found in preferences files. |
| run | Command line version of Runner. |
| rxd | Prints mount info for a path you specify or the current working directory: the mount point, the mount source, file system type, the block size, the total number of blocks, the number of blocks free, the number of blocks available, file system flags, the I/O size, the total number of inodes, the number of inodes free, the owner of the file system, and the file system ID. Works seamlessly with CLIX. |
| s3 | Does the same job as S3 but from the command line. Supply the link text and 'href' and it gives you back your obfuscated tag and link. |
| spx | The 39-step SPX Gutmann shredding engine. Give it a list of files to make sure they're never seen again and never recovered by anybody. Works seamlessly with CLIX. |
| sudokill | Run as a background process, ensures your 'sudo' authentication is killed as soon as your computer goes to sleep. |
| sudokill2 | Works as sudokill above but goes hunting for all open Terminal windows and kills their 'sudo' authentication as well. Applicable when grace periods are re-coupled to individual TTYs. |
| swap | Command line version of Swap. |
| tiffcompress | Compresses TIFF images with the non-lossy LZH algorithm. |
| tmi | 'Too Much Information': side by side comparison of NeXTSTEP and Unix file statistics. |
| trash | Trashes files and directories from the command line, serialising their names as they're moved. |
| tree | Dumps a file hierarchy in tree format. Works seamlessly with CLIX. |
| unfork | Writes the data and resource forks of HFS+ files to new files with the 'data' and 'rsrc' extensions. Resource forks are a nice invention but also an increasing security concern. If you're unsure about a file and its benign intentions, 'unfork' it and see what your shell says after that. |
| unilipo | Convenience script to 'lipo' universal binaries. |
| volinfo | Dumps HFS volume info for a path or the CWD if no path is given. |
| xabatch | Adds deletes and modifies extended attributes on the fly. |
| xattr | Command line variant of Xattr. |
