util-linux é um pacote padrão distribuído pela Organização do Núcleo do Linux para uso como parte do sistema operacional Linux. Um fork, util-linux-ng - com ng significando "next generation" (em português, próxima geração) - foi criado quando o desenvolvimento parou, mas a partir de janeiro de 2011 foi renomeado de volta para util-linux, e é a versão oficial do pacote.
