hi everybody,
please, what does that mean?

* catchsegv: catch segmentation faults in programs
* getconf: query system configuration variables
* getent: get entries from administrative databases
* iconv, iconvconfig: convert between character encodings
* ldd, ldconfig: print/configure shared library dependencies
* locale, localedef: show/generate locale definitions
* rpcinfo: report RPC information


this is what i found when i tried to install libc-bin package at this adress :
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libc-bin

thanks

If you open Synaptic Package Manager and search for libc-bin you will find the installed files for this package is the binaries for those programs.
To find what those programs do open a term and input
man getconf
man getent
man iconv
man ldd
etc


Good Luck
