<p><b>Utility software</b> is a program specifically designed to help manage and tune system (optimization) or application software. It is used to support the computer <a href="Infrastructure" title="Infrastructure">infrastructure</a> - in contrast to <a href="Application_software" title="Application software">application software</a>, which is aimed at directly performing tasks that benefit ordinary users. However, utilities often form part of the application <em>systems</em>. For example, a <a href="Batch_job" class="mw-redirect" title="Batch job">batch job</a> may run user-written code to update a database and may then include a step that runs a utility to back up the database, or a job may run a utility to compress a disk before copying files.
</p><p>Although a basic set of utility programs is usually distributed with an <a href="Operating_system" title="Operating system">operating system</a> (OS), and this first party utility software is often considered part of the operating system, users often install replacements or additional utilities.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Those utilities may provide additional facilities to carry out tasks that are beyond the capabilities of the operating system.
</p><p>Many utilities that might affect the entire computer system require the user to have elevated <a href="Privilege_(computing)" title="Privilege (computing)">privileges</a>, while others that operate only on the user's data do not.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
