For installation instructions see the Section called Installing Lfs-Utils-0.3 in Chapter 6.
Lfs-utils (0.3):
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~winkie/downloads/lfs-utils/
(Last checked against version 0.2.2.)
The Lfs-Utils package contains some miscellaneous programs used by various packages, but are not large enough to warrant their own individual package.
Lfs-Utils installs the following:
mktemp, tempfile, http-get, iana-net
(Last checked against version 0.2.2.)
mktemp creates temporary files in a secure manner for use in scripts.
tempfile creates temporary files in a less secure manner than mktemp. It is installed for backwards-compatibility.
http-get is a script that takes advantage of a little known feature of Bash called "net redirection". It is used to download from websites without using any third-party programs.
iana-net uses the http-get to simplify the process of procuring IANA's services and protocols configuration files.
