# Trf commands: misc.

[ Commands | Sitemap ] [ binio| transform| zip| bz2 ]

7 more commands are available, not fitting into the categories of message digests or conversion:

`crypt` | implements the crypt function used by unix to hash the user passwords.
`md5crypt` | is an alternative to `crypt` using MD5 as its hashing algorithm.
`transform` | implements a general transformation. The underlying functionality is made available to the script level.
rs_ecc | A reed-solomon error correcting coder is available under the name `rs_ecc`. The one and only option understood is ``-mode''. It is equivalent to the option understood by the conversion commands. The coder operates on blocks of 248 characters each, therefore buffering 247 characters.
`zip` | A compressor based upon the `zlib`-library.
`bz2` | A compressor based upon the `bzlib`-library.
`unstack` | This command must be used to remove a conversion channel. The underlying channel is uncovered and accessible again afterward. It requires a channelhandle as its one and only argument. Its application to a normal channel (file, socket, ...) is identical to `close`.
`binio` | This command is excluded by default, as `tcl` 8.0 now provides equivalent functionality (See commands `binary` and `fcopy`). Inclusion requires application of the byteorder patch. See the installation manual more information. Please note: Due to the availability of the `binary` command in `tcl` 8.x I have decided to remove the support for `binio` in the next release of Trf.
