Description: Automatic manpage generator
Program to create simple man pages from the --help and
--version output of other programs.
Since most GNU documentation is now in info format, this provides a
way to generate a placeholder man page pointing to that resource while
still providing some useful information.

Description: tools for reading manual pages
This package provides the man command, the primary way of examining the
system help files (manual pages). Other utilities provided include the
whatis and apropos commands for searching the manual page database, the
manpath utility for determining the manual page search path, and the
maintenance utilities mandb, catman and zsoelim. man-db uses the groff
suite of programs to format and display the manual pages.

Package: nmap
Description: The Network Mapper
Nmap is a utility for network exploration or security auditing. It
supports ping scanning (determine which hosts are up), many port
scanning techniques, version detection (determine service protocols
and application versions listening behind ports), and TCP/IP
fingerprinting (remote host OS or device identification). Nmap also
offers flexible target and port specification, decoy/stealth scanning,
sunRPC scanning, and more. Most Unix and Windows platforms are
supported in both GUI and commandline modes. Several popular handheld
devices are also supported, including the Sharp Zaurus and the iPAQ.

Description: XZ-format compression utilities
XZ is the successor to the Lempel-Ziv/Markov-chain Algorithm
compression format, which provides memory-hungry but powerful
compression (often better than bzip2) and fast, easy decompression.
This package provides the command line tools for working with XZ
compression, including xz, unxz, xzcat, xzgrep, and so on. They can
also handle the older LZMA format, and if invoked via appropriate
symlinks will emulate the behavior of the commands in the lzma
package.
The XZ format is similar to the older LZMA format but includes some
improvements for general use:
* 'file' magic for detecting XZ files;
* crc64 data integrity check;
* limited random-access reading support;
* improved support for multithreading (not used in xz-utils);
* support for flushing the encoder.
