A collection of Unix terminal/console/curses tools

I don't really think it's fair to call anything that's in a POSIX standard obscure (like xargs).

Most of these are fairly common, and many of the descriptions are terrible, for example: `rsync` doesn't "[Keep] filesystems in sync over SSH"; it's a versatile `cp`-like for dealing with remote systems efficiently that happens to support transfers over SSH.

As I can no long edit my comment: when I made the parent comment, the title referred to them as _Obscure_ tools.

Yes, the title of the post on HN is now changed, but the url of the original post still refers to them as "obscure" tools.
