| Description: The EXT2 file system utilities and libraries. |
| EXT2 stands for "Extended Filesystem", version 2. It's the main |
| filesystem type used for hard disks on Debian and other Linux systems. |
| . |
| This package contains programs for creating, checking, and maintaining EXT2 |
| filesystems, and the generic `fsck' wrapper. |

| Description: The Common Error Description library - headers and static libraries. |
| libcomerr is an attempt to present a common error-handling mechanism to |
| manipulate the most common form of error code in a fashion that does not |
| have the problems identified with mechanisms commonly in use. |

| Description: Command-line interface parsing library - headers and static libraries. |
| This package includes a tool that parses a command table to generate |
| a simple command-line interface parser, the include files needed to |
| compile and use it, and the static libs. |
| . |
| It was originally inspired by the Multics SubSystem library. |

| Description: The headers and static libraries for ext2fs-aware tools-development. |
| EXT2FS stands for "Extended Filesystem", version 2. It's the filesystem |
| type used for hard disks on Debian and other Linux systems. |
| . |
| This package contains the headers and shared libraries needed to compile |
| ext2fs-aware programs. Only programmers that really manipulate |
| features specific to the ext2 filesystem will need this. Most |
| programmers will use the generic filesystem-independent interface |
| from libc. |
| . |
| It also contains dev files for the e2p lib used by |
| the e2fsprogs, but which is not yet packaged all by itself |
| because it lacks documentation. It may also lack some support |
| files, by I can't really know until someone uses it... |
| . |
| libe2p is for user-level e2fsprogs commands. It's used by dumpe2fs, |
| chattr, and lsattr. Functions in libe2p typically have two |
| characteristics (a) don't require that block device containing the |
| filesystem be opened directly (functions in libext2fs do), and (b) |
| libe2p typically contains printf statements or parse user input, and so |
| have more internationalization issues. |
