Involved Projects and Packages
Socket::MsgHdr provides advanced socket messaging operations via
sendmsg and recvmsg.
The IPv6 related part of the C socket.h defines and structure
manipulators.
Popt is a C library for parsing command line parameters. Popt was
heavily influenced by the getopt() and getopt_long() functions. It
improves on them by allowing more powerful argument expansion. Popt can
parse arbitrary argv[] style arrays and automatically set variables
based on command line arguments. Popt allows command line arguments to
be aliased via configuration files and includes utility functions for
parsing arbitrary strings into argv[] arrays using shell-like rules.
Rakudo Perl 6, or just Rakudo, is an implementation of the Perl 6
specification that runs on the Parrot virtual machine.
RPM Package Manager is the main tool for managing the software packages
of the SuSE Linux distribution.
RPM can be used to install and remove software packages. With rpm, it
is easy to update packages. RPM keeps track of all these manipulations
in a central database. This way it is possible to get an overview of
all installed packages. RPM also supports database queries.
The rpm-python package contains a module that permits applications
written in the Python programming language to use the interface
supplied by RPM Package Manager libraries.
This package should be installed if you want to develop Python programs
that will manipulate RPM packages and databases.
With this program you can take advantage of the multitasking abilities
of your Linux system by opening several sessions over one terminal. The
sessions can also be detached and resumed from another login terminal.

Internal package.
This package contains tools to create and apply deltarpms. A deltarpm
contains the difference between an old and a new version of an RPM,
which makes it possible to recreate the new RPM from the deltarpm and
the old one. You do not need to have a copy of the old RPM, because
deltarpms can also work with installed RPMs.
A Group Update Program that accepts commands by mail to edit a
newsgroup subscription file. It can be used by news systems such as
INN and C-News.
Rich Salz's InterNetNews news transport system.
A new approach to package dependency solving.
Not Quite Perl6, a subset of Perl6 implemented on
the Rakudo virtual machine.
Service Location Protocol is an IETF standards track protocol that
provides a framework that allows networking applications to discover
the existence, location, and configuration of networked services in
enterprise networks.
OpenSLP is an open source implementation of the SLPv2 protocol as
defined by RFC 2608 and RFC 2614. This package includes the slptool
and runtime libraries.
Parrot is a virtual machine designed to efficiently compile and execute
bytecode for dynamic languages. Parrot is the target for Rakudo Perl 6,
as well as variety of other languages.
perl - Practical Extraction and Report Language
Perl is optimized for scanning arbitrary text files, extracting
information from those text files, and printing reports based on that
information. It is also good for many system management tasks. Perl is
intended to be practical (easy to use, efficient, and complete) rather
than beautiful (tiny, elegant, and minimal).
Some of the modules available on CPAN can be found in the "perl"
series.
Socket::MsgHdr provides advanced socket messaging operations via
sendmsg and recvmsg.
