util-linux
________________________________________________________________________________

util-linux is a standard package distributed by the Linux Kernel Organization
for use as part of the Linux operating system. A fork, util-linux-ng (with ng
meaning "next generation"), was created when development stalled, but as of
January 2011 has been renamed back to util-linux, and is the official version of
the package. [0]
