Then it's my turn to try. This should be easy, hope it hasn't been asked before:
My name refers to a storage medium
that is now only found in a museum.
I am used daily by all

Let me guess:

Your first thought was closer. Perhaps daily is a slight exaggeration.

Exactly. Now if you can tell what the first letter stands for, your solution is really complete. Either way, well played, over to you.

Well, I'm too honest to say I knew this so I looked it up and... (just in case some die hard's want to figure it out on their own I'll wrap it with a spoiler tag again)

Ok, I'll give this a try...
I was introduced in the C shell
To make your life easier
I can do multiple things at once
My actions are defined by the user
What am I?

Here we go, I'll push another one.
I'm a command line utility, but also a library
I run either with arguments or interactively
The folks at OpenBSD forked me to add more security
Yes, I'm related to all thing cryptography

RE: The Guess What I'm Talking About Game - venam - 06-11-2020
You got it phillbush, that's the right answer.
RE: The Guess What I'm Talking About Game - seninha - 06-11-2020
Let me try.
I was used to write The C Programming Language.
You do not use my commands directly: you call macros.
I'm a UNIX utility that survived into plan 9.
What you see is not what you get.
RE: The Guess What I'm Talking About Game - seninha - 08-11-2020
Just to add a hint to my post (try not to use it):
RE: The Guess What I'm Talking About Game - movq - 13-11-2020
Had to use the hint. :(

RE: The Guess What I'm Talking About Game - seninha - 13-11-2020
Now another one!
You can find a man with my name in section 1 and in section 3.
I'm only on BSD systems, not on Linux.
You could use cat -v, but that's considered harmful
I make you see the invisible.
RE: The Guess What I'm Talking About Game - z3bra - 15-11-2020
Ah ! Pretty sure I got it !

This line confused me, how did that help?
RE: The Guess What I'm Talking About Game - z3bra - 15-11-2020
Because cat -v has a similar behavior. The "considered harmful" is a reference to cat-v.org.

I don't understand anything, yet reply to everyone.
Network facing, I use the standard interface.

I'll try to guess, but still unsure:

Yup that's it ! Well done ;)
