The expression "standard utilities" seems to have thrown people for a minor loop. Me being naturally loopy to begin with, I navigated the treacherous semantic waters of your inquiry with my usual aplomb. I would consider the package 'coreutils,' containing "the basic file, shell and text manipulation utilities which are expected to exist on every operating system," as representing "standard utilities" in a sane and good faith (but perhaps too restrictive) understanding of the phrase. The list of these utilities is short enough to include here: arch base64 basename cat chcon chgrp chmod chown chroot cksum comm cp csplit cut date dd df dir dircolors dirname du echo env expand expr factor false flock fmt fold groups head hostid id install join link ln logname ls md5sum mkdir mkfifo mknod mktemp mv nice nl nohup nproc numfmt od paste pathchk pinky pr printenv printf ptx pwd readlink realpath rm rmdir runcon sha*sum seq shred sleep sort split stat stty sum sync tac tail tee test timeout touch tr true truncate tsort tty uname unexpand uniq unlink users vdir wc who whoami yes I think they live primarily (if not exclusively) in /bin/ and /usr/bin. I note that some of these apps I've never heard of in my life. ptx - produce a permuted index of file contents Produce a permuted index. I wonder if I would want to do that any time soon (I might if I knew what the hell a permuted index was). This page may be of interest to you (the whys of what goes where in the Debian file hierarchy): https://wiki.debian.org/FilesystemHierarchyStandard Having reached this point I believe I've forgotten exactly what your question was to begin with.
