Net-tools Download

The tool binaries are installed in a default directory that's added to the PATH environment variable. You can invoke the tool from any directory on the machine without specifying its location. One version of a tool is used for all directories on the machine.

The tool binaries are installed in a location that you specify. You can invoke the tool from the installation directory, by providing the directory with the command name, or by adding the directory to the PATH environment variable. One version of a tool is used for all directories on the machine.

The tool binaries are installed in a default directory. You can invoke the tool from the installation directory or any of its subdirectories. Different directories can use different versions of the same tool.

The .NET CLI uses manifest files to keep track of tools that are installed as local to a directory. When the manifest file is saved in the root directory of a source code repository, a contributor can clone the repository and invoke a single .NET CLI command to install all of the tools listed in the manifest files.

If you want to install a tool for local access only (for the current directory and subdirectories), you must add the tool to a tool manifest file. To create a tool manifest file, run the dotnet new tool-manifest command:

This command creates a manifest file named dotnet-tools.json under the .config directory. To add a local tool to the manifest file, use the dotnet tool install command and omit the --global and --tool-path options, as shown in the following example:

You typically add a local tool to the root directory of the repository. After you check in the manifest file to the repository, developers who check out code from the repository get the latest manifest file. To install all of the tools listed in the manifest file, they run the dotnet tool restore command:

The command that you use to invoke a tool might be different from the name of the package that you install. To display all of the tools currently installed on the machine for the current user, use the dotnet tool list command:

If the command begins with the prefix dotnet-, an alternative way to invoke the tool is to use the dotnet command and omit the tool command prefix. For example, if the command is dotnet-doc, the following command invokes the tool:

To invoke a local tool, you must use the dotnet command from within the installation directory. You can use the long form (dotnet tool run ) or the short form (dotnet ), as shown in the following examples:

For a local tool, the SDK looks in the current directory and parent directories to find the first manifest file containing the package ID. If there's no such package ID in any manifest file, the SDK adds a new entry to the closest manifest file.

apt-get remove -s net-tools shows that the only other package to be removed would be "ubuntu-minimal", which is OK for me. I wonder if everything would keep working and if any change to system and applications network settings would then be needed.

Of course some older software (especially software installed from outside of the repository) might still expect net-tools commands to be present as they were available on most unixoid systems for a long time. If you uninstall this package, then that is something you should keep in mind.

I've always like using rarp, ifconfig, arp, iptunnel ectera for managing my network. I found out that these packages are available in Arch by installing the "net-tools" package. So I used pacman to install it, and typed "ifconfig" in bash and there appeared the expected outputed information about my network device.

At first, I figured it was a problem with ifconfig, so I navigated to /usr/bin/ then used rm to remove ifconfig, and used pacman to install net-tools again, which is supposed to include ifconfig. But what I don't understand is why after manually deleting a package included in net-tools such as I did with ifconfig, it would no longer be included when I installed net-tools again using pacman.

But oddly, even before deleting or reinstalling any packages/programs, I also found that every single program included in net-tools would accept no arguments, and display no output when I attempted to run them, however as I mentioned before, ifconfig and others did fucntion before I rebooted. Maybe I goofed when I deleted ifconfig, or used the wrong pacman arguments, but I don't understand why these programs simply stopped fuctioning completely.

pacman now also tells me when I run "sudo pacman -R net-tools" or "sudo pacman -Rs net-tools" or if I use any other removal arugments, that it cannot find that package. This baffles me because the bash output I pasted earlier in the post clearly says "no packages were upgraded" and upraded implies the modifiication of an existing package on my system, not one that is newly installed.

Basically, funtioning, then mysteriously non-functioning package after reboot, and the inabillity to uninstall or properly reinstall this package again using pacman. Also, running "pacman -Sg net-tools" returns nothing, therefore it's not a group and I cannot select any individual elements.

I have a 2 theories, that I'm not using the correct pacman arugments to install/unintall a problematic package completely, and that the reason net-tools isn't working correctly is that my system is running another conflicting program/programs to manage my connections and network harware, and that's the reason something like ifconfig wasn't working. But even still, I can't seem to get ifconfig and friends back on my system at all! Maybe I could find a mirror that has the lone packages such as "ifconfig" and "arp" that I want, but I still want to understand why pacman wouldn't install any of part of net-tools that I manually deleted. I'm sure it's a simple and silly mistake I've made.

I'll use DBAN and wipe it clean. The drive itself was taken from a surveillance system, and given to me for free, so I can't complain. I'll also take a look at the S.M.A.R.T. data (if it has it) on the drive to see if it's on its last leg.

For the same reason that if you manually install a program with `make`, pacman knows nothing about it. Manually deleting the package doesn't update pacman's database, as far as pacman is concerned, the binary is still there.

Anyway, I went ahead and manually deleted all but one of the binaries included in net-tools, as well as the .gz files located in /usr/share/man/man8 and /usr/share/man5, which according to the source is where all the files associated with that package reside or should reside. I'll explain why I left a single file behind later on.

I made sure of two things, that net-tools is not present in either of pacman's databases. net-tools is part of the core repository, and I verified net-tools wasn't in either the sync, nor the local database where pacman stores metadata about packages that have been installed. I didn't delete anything, there was simply nothing pertaining to net-tools in either database.

I've figured out a few things. After verifying all but one of the package's files had been manually deleted, and that there were no remaining database files that could cause problems, explicitly according to this site's pacman wiki page regarding installation errors, I ran

However, it did not write any files to the file system at all, because it found a single conlict. Most strikingly, the output from pacman didn't even mention the other files in the package. Yes, pacman doesn't replace conflicting files in packages by design, and it's reccomended that you simply delete a conflicting file, yet later on I will show that what pacman found as a file conflict in one instance, it did not in another, regarding two completely null (thus identical) binaries.The documentation didn't mention anything about also not writing files that are not conflicting simply because of a single and completely separate file conflict. It didn't explain why the other binaries and archives weren't written to the file system. It doesn't make any sense, because pacman still returned "Error: no new packages upgraded, yet still claimed no package called "net-tools" was present when I tried removing it using -R with pacman, which essentially says this package exists on the system, but I couldn't upgrade it because of a problem, but also then when asked to remove that package, it supposedly does not exist on the system. One output implies it exists, as upgrade impiles a modification of an existing thing, the other claims it doesn't exist at all, all outputed from the same program.

When I looked at the binary I purposely left behind, it was 0 bytes. Null. I think this is what caused the problem, that for some strange reason, all the net-tools binaries became corrupted, and all the files left completely null, which would really be only explanation of the lack of any output, not even an error when I tried to run them.

The only conclusion I can come to is that because pacman's metadata and database entries for the packages existed, while the files themselves were null, (who knows why it happened) and when I ran "sudo pacman -R net-tools" the first time, those database entries and metadata was removed, but since the files to be deleted were essentially null, I originally thought maybe that pacman would detect a null file as a conflict if it was referenced by the same name and sym/hard link, but that's not the case; because I used

It also didn't hesitate to remove a null binary file of a different package using "pacman -R" but in the case of net-tools, accroding to the database, net-tools wasn't on the system and therefore could not be deleted. But this still does not explain why even if all the net-tools files were corrupt, or null, that pacman didn't remove them the first time using the -R argument.
