This is a program designed initially to speed up writing tapes on remote
tape drives, but may be used as a general pipe buffering utility.
Note: You must have SYSVSHM support in FreeBSD kernel.
The program splits itself into two processes. The first process reads
(and reblocks) from stdin into a shared memory buffer. The second
writes from the shared memory buffer to stdout. Doing it this way
means that the writing side effectly sits in a tight write loop and
doesn't have to wait for input. Similarly for the input side. It is
this waiting that slows down other reblocking processes, like dd.
Geo::GeoNames provides a perl interface to the webservices found at [1]. That
is, given a given placename or postalcode, the module will look it up and return
more information (longitude, lattitude, etc) for the given placename or
postalcode. Wikipedia lookups are also supported. If more than one match is
found, a list of locations will be returned.

2ManDVD is the successor of ManDVD, an application for creating video DVDs
from a wide variety of video formats. You can add as many video clips you
want to generate a DVD with chapters, subtitles, transition effects,
brightness and contrast settings.
If the imported videos are not compatible with standard DVDs, they can be
converted. It also offers possibility of extracting images, synchronize
audio and video, create a video introduction to the DVD, reduce the noise,
create subtitles, and even a menu with animation for your DVD.
A fast and lightweight QT4 BitTorrent client, loosely based on the GTK+ client.
This is the only Transmission client that can act as its own self-contained
session (as the GTK+ and Mac clients do), and can also connect to a remote
session (as the web client and transmission-remote terminal client do).
Transmission has been built from the ground up to be a lightweight, yet
powerful BitTorrent client. Its simple, intuitive interface is designed
to integrate tightly with whatever computing environment you choose to
use. Transmission strikes a balance between providing useful functionality
without feature bloat. Furthermore, it is free for anyone to use or modify.
Ranch aims to provide everything you need to accept TCP connections
with a small code base and low latency while being easy to use
directly as an application or to embed into your own.
Ranch provides a modular design, letting you choose which transport
and protocol are going to be used for a particular listener. Listeners
accept and manage connections on one port, and include facilities to
limit the number of concurrent connections. Connections are sorted
into pools, each pool having a different configurable limit.
Ranch also allows you to upgrade the acceptor pool without having to
close any of the currently opened sockets.
hping is a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer.
The interface is inspired to the ping(8) Unix command, but hping isn't
only able to send ICMP echo requests. It supports TCP, UDP, ICMP and
RAW-IP protocols, has a traceroute mode, the ability to send files
between a covered channel, and many other features.
While hping was mainly used as a security tool in the past, it can be
used in many ways by people that don't care about security to test
networks and hosts.
hping3 adds the TCL scripting feature.
ICPLD (Internet Connection Performance Logging Daemon) is a
daemon which, by sending ICMP requests to an IP address of your
choice, monitors whether your machine has a working network
connection. It will log any failed attempts, and will stamp a
log as soon as a reply is received. It keeps track of when the
connection was unavailable, as well as for how long. It records
both total down time and each occasion of interrupted
connection. The log can also be duplicated in HTML format to
put online.
OpenH323 is a multi-platform H323 Video Conferencing library.
This is used to make H323 Video Conferencing applications
like GnomeMeeting and ohphone. (both in the FreeBSD ports tree)
The library includes a sample program called simph323.
The OpenH323 library makes use of PWLib. http://www.equival.com
PWLib is a multi-platform code library that can be used to write
applications that will compile and run on the BSD Unixes, Windows, Linux
and a few other Unix variants. It was developed by Equivalence Ltd Pty.
libnet is a collection of Perl modules which provides a simple
and consistent programming interface (API) to the client side
of various protocols used in the internet community.
For details of each protocol please refer to the RFC. RFC's
can be found a various places on the WEB, for a starting
point look at:
http://www.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Standards/RFCs/
The RFC implemented in this distribution are
Net::FTP RFC959 File Transfer Protocol
Net::SMTP RFC821 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
Net::Time RFC867 Daytime Protocol
Net::Time RFC868 Time Protocol
Net::NNTP RFC977 Network News Transfer Protocol
Net::POP3 RFC1939 Post Office Protocol 3
Net::Server is an extensible, generic Perl server engine. Net::Server combines
the good properties from Net::Daemon (0.34), NetServer::Generic (1.03), and
Net::FTPServer (1.0), and also from various concepts in the Apache Webserver.
Net::Server attempts to be a generic server as in Net::Daemon and
NetServer::Generic. It includes with it the ability to run as an inetd process
(Net::Server::INET), a single connection server (Net::Server or
Net::Server::Single), a forking server (Net::Server::Fork), or as a preforking
server (Net::Server::PreFork). In all but the inetd type, the server provides
the ability to connect to one or to multiple server ports.
