ntfsprogs

Ntfsprogs is a collection of free Unix utilities for managing the NTFS filesystem used by the Windows NT operating system (since version 3.1) on a hard disk partition. 'ntfsprogs' was the first stable method of writing to NTFS partitions in Linux.[1]

All NTFS versions are supported, used by 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. ntfsprogs remains a popular way of interacting with NTFS partitions and is included by most Linux distributions[2] and on Live CDs. There are also versions that have been compiled for Windows.

On April 12, 2011 Tuxera announced that Ntfsprogs project was merged with NTFS-3G.[3]

gollark: This is probably not very meaningful unless they make ROCm actually... usable.
gollark: They dropped it in Alder Lake anyway, due to bee.
gollark: Reject 64-bit registers, embrace AVX2.
gollark: That seems implausible.
gollark: It uses just one 4-byte key which it XORs with everything and yet people weren't able to trivially reverse it?
