What is a utility program?

A utility (program), sometimes referred to as a command, performs a task
that is frequently related to the operating system. A utility is simpler than

an application program, although no clear line separates the two. Linux dis-
tributions include many utilities. You can also download many utilities

from the Internet.
Examples of utilities are cp (copies a file), ls (lists information about files),
ssh (securely connects to a remote computer), and df (lists information
about free space on system devices such as hard disks).
