The libstatgrab library provides an easy to use interface for
accessing system statistics and information. Available statistics
include CPU, Load, Memory, Swap, Disk I/O, and Network I/O.
Also part of the package are two tools; saidar provides a curses-based
interface to viewing live system statistics, and statgrab is a
sysctl-like interface to the statistics.
The tecla library provides UNIX and LINUX programs with interactive
command line editing facilities, similar to those of the Unix tcsh
shell. In addition to simple command-line editing, it supports recall
of previously entered command lines, TAB completion of file names or
other tokens, and in-line wild-card expansion of file names. The
internal functions which perform file-name completion and wild-card
expansion are also available externally for optional use by programs,
along with a module for tab-completion and lookup of file names in a
list of directories.
Note that special care has been taken to allow the use of this library
in threaded programs. The option to enable this is discussed in the
Makefile, and specific discussions of thread safety are presented in
the included man pages.
This library allows easy processing of keyboard entry from terminal-based
programs. It handles all the necessary logic to recognise special keys,
UTF-8 combining, and so on, with a simple interface.
This is GNU Libtool, a generic library support script. Libtool hides
the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable
interface.
To use libtool, add the new generic library building commands to your
Makefile, Makefile.in, or Makefile.am.
A library for handling page faults in user mode. A page fault occurs
when a program tries to access to a region of memory that is currently
not available. Catching and handling a page fault is a useful
technique for implementing:
* pageable virtual memory,
* memory-mapped access to persistent databases,
* generational garbage collectors,
* stack overflow handlers,
* distributed shared memory,
GNU LIBUNISTRING - Unicode string library
This library provides functions for manipulating Unicode strings and
for manipulating C strings according to the Unicode standard.
The libstatgrab library provides an easy to use interface for
accessing system statistics and information. Available statistics
include CPU, Load, Memory, Swap, Disk I/O, and Network I/O.
Also part of the package are two tools; saidar provides a curses-based
interface to viewing live system statistics, and statgrab is a
sysctl-like interface to the statistics.
Abstract C99 library which implements a VT220 or xterm-like terminal
emulator. It doesn't use any particular graphics toolkit or output
system, instead it invokes callback function pointers that its
embedding program should provide it to draw on its behalf. It
avoids calling malloc() during normal running state, allowing it
to be used in embedded kernel situations.
Guile-Lib is intended as an accumulation place for pure-scheme Guile modules,
allowing for people to cooperate integrating their generic Guile modules into
a coherent library. Think "a down-scaled, limited-scope CPAN for Guile".
Also, it can be seen as a code staging area for Guile; the Guile developers
could decide to integrate some of the code into guile-core. An example for a
possible candidate is SRFI-35.
It's often useful to be able to make real-mode x86 BIOS calls from userland.
Linux lrmi provides a simple interface to this for i386 machines, but this
doesn't help on other platforms. libx86 provides the Linux lrmi interface,
but will also run on platforms such as amd64 and alpha.
