This distribution is a collection of programs that are generally unrelated, except in that they all deal with the ELF file format. The main purpose of these programs is to be illustrative and educational -- to help fellow programmers understand the ELF file format and something of how it works under the Linux platform.

Gamin is a file and directory monitoring system defined to be a subset of the FAM (File Alteration Monitor) system. This is a service provided by a library which allows to detect when a file or a directory has been modified. Whereas the FreeBSD port of FAM polls files every few seconds, this port includes a kqueue(2) backend for immediate notification of most alterations.

TI & RedHat toolchain for TI's msp430 MCUs cross-development This brings the gcc compiler for the Texas Instruments MSP430 16-bit RISC-like family of microcontrollers.

Generate is a text preprocessor that I originally wrote to help me write custom accounting applications based on the Progress database product. I felt that the built in wasn't useful enough so I designed a new one and implemented it. It actually started life as a package configuration and batch file generator for DOS and mutated to a simple script interpreter to replace shar file distribution. At this point it has almost nothing in common with that first program. The basic idea behind generate is to create a script which generates files. There is some simple flow control constructs but the power lies in its macro processing. I have shamelessly stolen ideas from cpp, m4, make and David Tilbrook's dtree.

The `indent' program changes the appearance of a C program by inserting or deleting whitespace.

GPRbuild is an advanced software tool designed to help automate the construction of multi-language systems. It removes the complexity from multi-language development by allowing developers to quickly and easily compile and link software written in a combination of languages including Ada, Assembler, C, C++, and Fortran. Easily extendable by users to cover new toolchains and languages it is primarily aimed at projects of all sizes organized into subsystems and libraries and is particularly well suited for compiled languages.

Gzstream is a small C++ library, basically just a wrapper, that provides the functionality of the zlib C-library in a C++ iostream. It is freely available under the LGPL license. Gzstream has been written by Deepak Bandyopadhyay and Lutz Kettner at the Computational Geometry Group at UNC Chapel Hill.

A Multi-Protocol Infrared Remote Library for the Arduino This IR remote library, written by Ken Shirriff, lets you both send and receive IR remote codes in multiple protocols. It supports NEC, Sony SIRC, Philips RC5, Philips RC6, and raw protocols.

hp48cc is a C-like compiler that translates the input code into the HP48 RPL language. The language recognized by the compiler is only a small subset of the C language, with some non-standard extensions, but powerful enough to write complex programs simply. Note that GCC-based `devel/hp48xgcc' port exists which directly translates C code into Saturn (HP48 processor) opcodes.

The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) is an object-oriented (OO) toolkit that implements fundamental design patterns for communication software. ACE provides a rich set of reusable C++ wrappers and frameworks that perform common communication software tasks across a range of OS platforms.
