tools

A collection of (possibly) cross-platform command line tools.

On Linux, MacOS or other Unices these tools can easily be done either by using shell-scripts or may already be natively implemented.

colconv

Convert from hex / decimal / OpenGL to hex / decimal / OpenGL

Usage

  colconv -h | xxxxxx | r g b | r-gl g-gl b-gl
  [OPTIONS]
   -h              Help (this page)
   xxxxxx          Hex code
   r g b           Red, green and blue components in integer form
   r-gl g-gl b-gl  Red, green and blue components in Open GL form (0.xx)

fnchg

Rename files and possibly folders to lowercase (default) or uppercase in the current directory.

Not that cool case-insensitive filesystems (such as on Windows or MacOS :-)

Usage

  fnchg [OPTIONS]
  [OPTIONS]
   -d              Dry run - show what would be renamed
   -D              Incude dotfiles and folders
   -F              Also rename folders
   -h              Help (this page)
   -q              Quiet mode
   -U              Rename to uppercase

genpwd

A command-line tool to generate possibly pronouncable passwords.

Usage

  genpwd [OPTIONS] [number of passwords]
  [OPTIONS]
   -d digits       Number of digits in passwords
   -h              Help (this page)
   -l length       Length of passwords

hxd

A small hex-dumper.

Usage

  hxd [OPTIONS] file [start [end]]
  [OPTIONS]
   -h              Help (this page)

imgsize

A tool to reveal the size of a graphics file.

Usage

  imgsize [OPTIONS] [image-file1 image-file2 ... image-fileX]
  [OPTIONS]
   -h              Help (this page)

mren

Multiple rename.

Usage

  mren [OPTIONS] prefix [commit]
  [OPTIONS]
    -h              Help (this page)
    -d folder       Folder with files to be renamed.

  If folder is not given, default to . (current directory).

This program renames all files, except files ending in ~ and .files, in the selected folder. The files will be renamed:

prefix-number.suffix

You give prefix. The program fill figure out the number and .suffix is the original files suffix (in lowercase). F.ex.:

IMG01231.JPG
IMG01232.JPG
IMG01233.JPG

if 'mren Holiday' then these will become:

IMG01231.JPG -> Holiday-1.jpg
IMG01232.JPG -> Holiday-2.jpg
IMG01233.JPG -> Holiday-3.jpg

Run mren without the 'commit' argument to do a dry-run. With 'commit' changes are persisted. The 'commit' argument must always be last.

remtilde

A small tool to find and delete VIM backup files.

This is the equivalent of the following alias in .bashrc:

  alias remtilde='find . -type f -iname "*~" -exec rm -vf {} \;'

  [OPTIONS]
   -d              Dry run - show what would be deleted
   -h              Help (this page)
   -i              Ignore dot-files (.rc, .something, ...)
   -t              Trace files
   -u              Ignore underscore-files (\_rc, \_something, ...)
   -v              Verbose/Debug output

  If paths are not given, default to . (current directory).
