Involved Projects and Packages
Libbraille is a computer shared library which makes it possible to
easily develop for Braille displays. It provides a simple API to
write text on the display, directly draw dots, or get the value of
keys pressed on the Braille keyboard.
c-ares is a C library that performs DNS requests and name resolves
asynchronously. c-ares is a fork of the library named 'ares', written
by Greg Hudson at MIT.
libdiscid is a C library for creating MusicBrainz DiscIDs from audio
CDs. It reads a CD's table of contents (TOC) and generates an
identifier which can be used to lookup the CD at MusicBrainz.
Additionally, it provides a submission URL for adding the DiscID to the
database.
The interface of this library is new, but the DiscID algorithm and the
operating system dependent CD-ROM/DVD-ROM access code have been ported
from libmusicbrainz version 2. For more info about the interface read
the [WWW] API documentation.
libfreevec is a free (LGPL) library with hand-optimized replacement
routines for GLIBC, such as memcpy() and strlen(). These routines have
been written specifically to take advantage of the AltiVec unit
(Velocity Engine or VMX) and will only work on processors that include
this unit. This means they will not work on older processors, such as
603, 604, 750 (G3), or the POWER family of CPUs.
GNU Libidn is an implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode, and IDNA
specifications defined by the IETF Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)
working group. It is used to prepare internationalized strings (such as
domain name labels, usernames, and passwords) in order to increase the
likelihood that string input and string comparison work in ways that
make sense for typical users around the world. The library contains a
generic Stringprep implementation that does Unicode 3.2 NFKC
normalization, mapping and prohibition of characters, and bidirectional
character handling. Profiles for iSCSI, Kerberos 5, Nameprep, SASL, and
XMPP are included. Punycode and ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via
IDNA is supported.
Library needed by programs that use the ltdl interface of GNU libtool.
Libmemcached is a C and C++ client library to the memcached server
(http://danga.com/memcached). It has been designed to be light on
memory usage, thread safe, and provide full access to server side
methods.
mowgli is a development framework for C (like GLib), which provides
high performance and highly flexible algorithms. It can be used as a
suppliment to GLib (to add additional functions (dictionaries,
hashes), or replace some of the slow GLib list manipulation
functions), or stand alone. It also provides a powerful hook system
and convenient logging for your code, as well as a high performance
block allocator
MusicBrainz is the second generation incarnation of the CD Index. This
server is designed to enable audio CD, MP3 and Vorbis players to
download metadata about the music they are playing.
Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit easily in more or
less any context: In crypto toolkits for object-oriented languages (C++,
Python, Pike, ...), in applications like LSH or GNUPG, or even in kernel space.
librsync implements the "rsync" algorithm, which allows remote
differencing of binary files. librsync computes a delta relative to a
file's checksum, so the two files need not both be present to generate
a delta.
The librtas shared library provides userspace with an interface through
which certain RTAS calls can be made. The library uses either of the
RTAS User Module or the RTAS system call to direct the kernel in making
these calls.
The librtasevent shared library provides users with a set of
definitions and common routines useful in parsing and dumping the
contents of RTAS events.
The libservicelgo package contains a library to create and maintain a
database for storing events related to system service. This database
allows for the logging of serviceable and informational events, and for
the logging of service procedures that have been performed upon the
system.
libssh2 is a library implementing the SSH2 protocol as defined by
Internet Drafts: SECSH-TRANS, SECSH-USERAUTH, SECSH-CONNECTION,
SECSH-ARCH, SECSH-FILEXFER, SECSH-DHGEX, SECSH-NUMBERS, and
SECSH-PUBLICKEY.
LibTorrent is a BitTorrent library written in C++ for *nix, with a focus on high performance and good code. The library differentiates itself from other implementations by transfering directly from file pages to the network stack. On high-bandwidth connections it is able to seed at 3 times the speed of the official client.
A portable and efficient C programming interface (API) to determine the
call chain of a program.
uriparser is a strictly RFC 3986 compliant URI parsing library. It is
cross-platform, fast, and supports Unicode.
VNC is a set of programs using the RFB (Remote Frame Buffer) protocol.
They are designed to "export" a frame buffer via the network. It is
already in wide use for administration, but it is not that easy to
program a server yourself. This has been changed by LibVNCServer.
X.org already has a virtual Xvnc server which you can start as an own
screen (e.g. :1) and connect to with a VNC client (e.g. vncviewer from
tightvnc). The x11vnc binary (that allows you to export the window of a
real running X11 server) has been split off into its own package on
2007-07-16.
The libvpd_cxx package contains the classes that are used to access a
vpd database created by vpdupdate in the lsvpd package.
libwpg is a C++ library to read and parse graphics in WPG (WordPerfect
Graphics) format. It is cross-platform, at the moment it can be build
on Microsoft Windows and Linux.
XFLAIM is an embeddable cross-platform XML database engine that
provides a rich, powerful, easy-to-use feature set. It has proven to be
highly scalable, reliable, and robust. It is available on a wide
variety of 32 bit and 64 bit platforms.
libxspf the replacement for libSpiff brings XSPF playlist reading and
writing support to your C++ application. Both version 0 and 1 are
supported. libxspf uses Expat for XML parsing and CppTest for unit
testing. libxspf is the official reference implementation for XSPF
of the Xiph.Org Foundation. Features :-
* Full conformance to the XSPF specification
* Cross-platform (Unix, Windows, Mac OS X, ...)
* Read and write XSPF files
* XSPF-0 and XSPF-1 support
* Unicode support
* Full support for XSPF extensions
* Full support for XML namespaces
* Fast (XML parsing is done by Expat)
* Uses unit testing
* Liberal license: New BSD license
GNU nano is a small and friendly text editor. It aims to emulate the
Pico text editor while also offering a few enhancements.
A simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across network
connections using TCP or UDP protocol. It is designed to be a reliable
"back-end" tool that can be used directly or easily driven by other
programs and scripts. At the same time it is a feature-rich network
debugging and exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of
connection you would need and has several interesting built-in
capabilities.
This package contains the OpenBSD rewrite of netcat, including support
for IPv6, proxies, and Unix sockets.
