The original plan was to have some program sI wrote to be added to the procps or util-linux package but the maintainers haven't been responsive. Therefore here they are in a package on their own.

I call the package putils (available from my private server) and the following programs are available so far:

plimit

Show or set the limits of a process

pfiles

Show information about the files open inside a process

These programs will be familiar to Solaris users. There are likely a few more programs to follow.
