Code Editor : deprecated.txt

The following is a list of commands or features that are deprecated.  All
deprecated utils are in maintenance mode and we keep them in source tree for
backward compatibility only.

What:   'udev' and 'list' blkid(8) output formats
Why:    udevd links libblkid directly; the 'list' is unnecessary, use lsblk(8)

--------------------------

What:   line(1) command
Why:    useless, nobody uses this command, head(1) is better

--------------------------

What:   pg(1) command
Why:    use less(1) or more(1)

--------------------------

What:   CHS stuff in fdisk (except SUN where are partitions addresses by cylinders only)
Why:    use addresssing by sectors, CHS does not work with modern disks,
        confusing for users...

--------------------------

What:	losetup -s
Why:	the option -s is in collision with the Loop-AES losetup dialect that is used
        in some distributions. Use the long version (--show) only.

--------------------------

What:   losetup output format without --list

deprecated format"

# losetup -a
          /dev/loop0: []: (/home/fs-images/swap.img)
          /dev/loop1: []: (/home/fs-images/disk.img), offset 100

new format:

# losetup
          NAME       SIZELIMIT OFFSET AUTOCLEAR RO BACK-FILE
          /dev/loop0         0      0         0  0 /home/fs-images/swap.img
          /dev/loop1         0    100         0  0 /home/fs-images/disk.img

--------------------------

What:	tunelp
Why:	parallel port printers are probably almost extinct devices

--------------------------

What:	elvtune
Why:	useless for kernel >= 2.6.9

---------------------------

What:	last(1)
Why:	nobody uses this implementation

----------------------------

Legacy utilities which are part util-linux package are:
