KIWI - tools

this directory contains helper scripts and programs around the kiwi image technology. If you need them in your image just set the package kiwi-tools in your config.xml file

  • /usr/bin/startshell small tool to run a shell on a specified console. Most often used in initrd images for providing shell access while init is not called

  • /usr/bin/setctsid set controlling terminal in rescue shell for systems without systemd

  • /usr/bin/utimer run a timer process like the kernel

  • /usr/bin/kversion extract kernel version information from kernel image

  • /usr/bin/driveready small tool to check the sense code of a CD/DVD drive. The tool can be used to wait for the drive to be ready for mounting

  • /usr/bin/dcounter a small program to count bytes on a transfer so that you can show a progress information about the transfer

  • /usr/bin/isconsole a small program sending the KDGETMODE ioctl to /dev/console in order to check if we can fbiterm on that console
