HEYU is a text-based console program for remotely controlling lights and
appliances in the home or office. It is made available under a free and open
source license.
Heyu uses the CM11A computer interface to send and receive X10 control signals
over the AC power lines to modules which can turn On, Off, or Dim attached
lamps or appliances. It can store a schedule of timed events in the CM11A
memory for execution when the computer is turned off or disconnected.
Heyu now supports an optional W800RF32A or MR26A RF receiver connected to a
second port as an auxiliary input device for X10 RF signals.
Heyu can also use an optional CM17A interface to transmit X10 RF signals.
Botan is a crypto library written in C++. It provides a variety of
cryptographic algorithms, including common ones such as AES, MD5, SHA,
HMAC, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, DSA, and ECDSA, as well as many others that
are more obscure or specialized. It also offers X.509v3 certificates
and CRLs, and PKCS #10 certificate requests. A message processing
system that uses a filter/pipeline metaphor allows for many common
cryptographic tasks to be completed with just a few lines of code.
Assembly optimizations for common CPUs, including x86, x86-64, and
PowerPC, offers further speedups for critical tasks such as SHA-1
hashing and multiple precision integer operations.
Botan is licensed under the same permissive terms as FreeBSD itself.
Prima is an extensible Perl toolkit for multi-platform GUI development.
Platforms supported include Linux, Windows NT/9x/2K, OS/2 and UNIX/X11
workstations ( FreeBSD, IRIX, SunOS, Solaris and others). The toolkit
contains a rich set of standard widgets and has emphasis on 2D image
processing tasks. A Perl program using PRIMA looks and behaves identically
on X, Win32 and OS/2 PM. The toolkit includes a visual builder ( VB ) and
a graphic pod viewer utility ( podview ). The examples are installed into
perl site in Prima/examples directory.
A 'hello world' code is as simple as follows:
use Prima qw(Application Buttons);
Prima::Window-> create(
text => 'Hello world!',
size => [ 200, 200],
)-> insert( Button =>
centered => 1,
text => 'Hello world!',
onClick => sub { $::application-> close },
);
run Prima;
Fastjar is a version of Sun's `jar' utility, written entirely in C, and
therefore quite a bit faster. Fastjar can be up to 100x faster than the
stock `jar' program running without a JIT. Currently, the author is
working on adding all the features present in the Sun utility. At the
moment, implemented features are:
* Archive creation
* Verbose/quiet output
* stdout vs. file output
* Manifest file support
* Deflation or storage
* Changing to directory and adding files (-C)
* Archive content listing (-t)
* Archive extraction (-x)
Xearth sets the X root window to an image of the Earth, as
seen from your favorite vantage point in space, correctly
shaded for the current position of the Sun. By default,
xearth updates the displayed image every five minutes. The
time between updates can be changed with the -wait option.
Xearth can also render directly into PPM and GIF files
instead of drawing in the root window.
There are three additional marker files installed in
/usr/local/lib/X11/xearth which specify the locations of
various FreeBSD people and places:
freebsd.committers.markers - FreeBSD committers
freebsd.submitters.markers - FreeBSD submitters
freebsd.ftp.markers - FreeBSD FTP mirrors
DarkIce is an IceCast, IceCast2, and ShoutCast live audio streamer. It
records audio from an audio interface (e.g. sound card), encodes it and
sends it to a stream server.
DarkIce can encode in the following formats:
- MP3 (using the lame library)
- MP2 (using the twolame library)
- Ogg Vorbis
- AAC (using the faac library)
- AAC HEv2 (using libaacplus library)
DarkIce can send the encoded stream to the following streaming servers:
- ShoutCast
- IceCast 1.3.x and 2.x
- Darwin Streaming Server
- Archive the encoded audio in files
iperf is a tool for measuring the maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth along
a path between two hosts. It allows the tuning of various
parameters and UDP characteristics, and reports bandwidth, delay
jitter, datagram loss. iperf was originally developed by NLANR/DAST.
iperf3 is a new implementation from scratch, with the goal of a
smaller, simpler code base, and a library version of the functionality
that can be used in other programs. iperf3 also a number of features
found in other tools such as nuttcp and netperf, but were missing from
iperf 2.x. iperf3 is not backwards compatible with iperf 2.x.
wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage are powerful utilities to convert HTML to PDF
or an image file using a patched static build of Qt and the webkit rendering
engine.
A webpage can be downloaded directly from the web and rendered into a PDF
document or an image file (multiple formats are supported).
Features of the static version:
* Convert web pages into PDF documents (or images) using webkit
* Adding headers and footers
* TOC generation
* Batch mode conversions
* XServer is not required (however the X11 client libs must be installed)
For proper functionality you may need to install the following port(s):
x11-fonts/webfonts
Bennu is a high level open source game development suite which
focuses on modularity and portability, making it a perfect choice
for cross-platform game development.
Although officialy it is only supported on Windows, Linux and GP2X
Wiz (on the right), Bennu can run on multiple other platforms,
including *BSD, MacOSX and other consoles such as the Wii, Dingoo
A320, GP2X, or the classic Xbox.
This makes it really fun to code in Bennu: the game can be played
on you computer AND your console!
