Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Matthew Johnson <mjj29@debian.org> X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org Source package: fcoretools Binary package(s): fcoretools Version: 1.0-1 Licence: GPLv2 Author: Dave Plonka <plonka@doit.wisc.edu> Homepage: http://net.doit.wisc.edu/~plonka/packages.html This package provides two tools for manipulating the IO scheduler: fincore is a command that shows which pages (blocks) of a file are in core memory. It is particularly useful for determining the contents of the buffer-cache. fadvise is a command used to give file advisory information to the operating system. Its "--dontneed" option is particularly useful in that it causes the files' pages (blocks) to be evicted from the buffer-cache. -- Matthew Johnson
