These tools include ‘combine’ for merging files with Boolean operations, ‘ifne’ for conditional command execution, ‘parallel’ for running multiple jobs simultaneously, ‘pee’ for sending input to multiple commands, ‘sponge’ for safe in-place file edits, ‘ts’ for adding timestamps to input lines, ‘vidir’ for batch renaming files with a text editor, and ‘vipe’ for editing pipeline content interactively.
