The spreadsheet calculator sc is based on rectangular tables much like
a financial spreadsheet. When invoked it presents you with a table
organized as rows and columns of cells. If invoked without a file
argument, the table is initially empty. Each cell may have associated
with it a numeric value, a label string, and/or an expression (formula)
which evaluates to a numeric value or label string, often based on other
cell values.
The Ini file manager consists of a package, Config, which can read or write
informations from various configuration files known as "ini" files because
they have often the ".ini" extension. They are text files which look like
the following:
; Comment line
[Section 1]
a_string = abcd # a comment here...
a_number = +123.456 ; another comment
[Section 2]
a_string = efgh
For more examples in this format, just search files with the .ini extension
on a Windows-based computer.
GNOME MPlayer is a simple GUI for MPlayer. It is intended to be a nice tight
player and provide a simple and clean interface to MPlayer. GNOME MPlayer has
a rich API that is exposed via DBus. Using DBus you can control a single or
multiple instances of GNOME MPlayer from a single command.
The player can be used to play media on websites
when used with Gecko Mediaplayer
The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is an IETF standard
that provides a complete cross protocol messaging solution. The problem
with current IM solutions is that they are all proprietary and cannot
talk to each other. XMPP seeks to get rid of those barriers.
Net::XMPP is a collection of Perl modules that provide a Perl Developer
access to the XMPP protocol. Using OOP modules we provide a clean
interface to writing anything from a full client to a simple protocol
tester.
py-flowtools extension module gives you a simple python interface
to NetFlow data as stored by Mark Fullmer's flow-tools package.
It contains a class FlowSet which reads the data from a given file
(or from standard input). A FlowSet provides an iterator interface
to access the individual flow records as instances of a second
class called Flow. A Flow provides access to its data through
attribute references.
This is inspired by Julien Schmidt's httprouter, in that it uses a patricia
tree, but the implementation is rather different. Specifically, the routing
rules are relaxed so that a single path segment may be a wildcard in one route
and a static token in another. This gives a nice combination of high
performance with a lot of convenience in designing the routing patterns. In
benchmarks, httptreemux is close to, but slightly slower than, httprouter.
iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a
full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:
* boot from a web server via HTTP
* boot from an iSCSI SAN
* boot from a Fibre Channel SAN via FCoE
* boot from an AoE SAN
* boot from a wireless network
* boot from a wide-area network
* boot from an Infiniband network
* control the boot process with a script
XML_RPC2 is a pear package providing XML_RPC client and server
services.XML-RPC is a simple remote procedure call protocol built
using HTTP as transport and XML as encoding.
As a client library, XML_RPC2 is capable of creating a proxy
class which exposes the methods exported by the server. As a
server library, XML_RPC2 is capable of exposing methods from
a class or object instance, seamlessly exporting local methods
as remotely callable procedures.
The Cyrus SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer)
SASL is the Simple Authentication and Security Layer, a method
for adding authentication support to connection-based protocols.
To use SASL, a protocol includes a command for identifying and
authenticating a user to a server and for optionally negotiating
protection of subsequent protocol interactions. If its use is
negotiated, a security layer is inserted between the protocol
and the connection.
Crypt::Random::Seed is a simple mechanism to get strong randomness. The main
purpose of this module is to provide a simple way to generate a seed for a PRNG
such as Math::Random::ISAAC, for use in cryptographic key generation, or as the
seed for an upstream module such as Bytes::Random::Secure. Flags for requiring
non-blocking sources are allowed, as well as a very simple method for plugging
in a source.
