This library is intended to be used by applications that need to communicate
with (or at least identify) devices that are attached via a parallel port.
The aim of this library is to take all the worry about the above wrinkles
from the application. It will figure out which methods are appropriate for
the currently running kernel (or operating system).
libretto-config - Libretto BIOS Setting Program
The `libretto-config' is a utility program to configure the BIOS
setting of the mini notebook computer, Toshiba Libretto. Changes to
the setting are immediately done, so rebooting is not necessary.
I don't know whether these programs work on any other machines but
Libretto. In case of Toshiba's notebook machines, some function may
work.
*** Disclaimer *****************************************************
The information used to write these programs was obtained by
analyzing Libretto individually, not provided by Toshiba. Therefore,
they might contain fatal bugs and might cause damages to your
Libretto. You can use them freely but the authors are not
responsible for the programs. Redistribution of the programs are not
restricted, but you must attach this caution and the source.
********************************************************************
The original program were written by Mr. Iizuka
(PXN02133@niftyserve.or.jp), which rewrite the CMOS setting directly.
Mr. Nomura (GBB00111@niftyserve.or.jp) have extended the program to
support SMI and BIOS calling. Thanks.
I, Ishioka, combined programs to the package. If you have any troubles,
bug reports, or requests, please notify me.
The libutempter library provides interface for terminal emulators such as
screen and xterm to record user sessions to utmp and wtmp files.
The utempter is a privileged helper used by libutempter library to manipulate
utmp and wtmp files.
This implementation is based on ideas of RedHat's utempter by Erik Troan
(version 0.5.2 at the moment of writing).
There are two interfaces supported: old and new.
New API is recommended for new applications, old - for compatibility with
old software.
LinEAK is a utility designed to enable the use and configuration
of those special keys on Internet, Easy Access and Multimedia
keyboards in Linux (and other unices, like now FreeBSD).
The kldpatch utility can print or alter the content of device/quirk tables
in kernel modules. These tables are generally used to identify devices,
and possibly apply specific quirks to enable/disable certain features.
Kldpatch is especially useful to let the kernel recognise a new device
without rebooting and rebuilding/reinstalling kernel or modules.
Default plugins for lineakd. Mainly contains some macros
(e.g. for volumedecrease etc.). mediadetect plugin is not
functional at the moment since there is some more work to
do (we need a new port for it).
Xosd-plugin for lineak to display some nice information about the commands
being executed by lineakd.
lmmon displays information gathered from a motherboard
power management controller (e.g. LM78/79). Displayed values
include fan speeds, motherboard temperature, and various
voltages. By default it cycles once per second using a curses-
based display.
Currently, the /dev/smb0 interface is only supported in FreeBSD
3.3-STABLE (after 01 November 1999), 4.x, and 5.x; however, the
/dev/io interface may work with many motherboards in FreeBSD
3.x and some non-LM78/79 motherboards.
In addition, lmmon supports simple text output that can be easily
used by external programs (e.g. UCD SNMP Daemon) for monitoring.
LMon is a package for near real-time monitoring of logs, sending email alerts
upon known (rule hits) or unknown data (rule misses). It features buffering of
multiple rule hits within a given interval, cap at a given maximum number of
lines, wait for a given interval before sending next alert, and auto- discovery
of log rotation. It can be run from the command line without configuration, or
be controlled from a central configuration file with multiple instances
monitoring different log files/sending alerts to different people.
Afuse is an automounting file system implemented in user-space using
FUSE. Afuse currently implements the most basic functionality that can
be expected by an automounter; that is it manages a directory of virtual
directories. If one of these virtual directories is accessed and is not
already automounted, afuse will attempt to mount a filesystem onto that
directory. If the mount succeeds the requested access proceeds as normal,
otherwise it will fail with an error.
The advantage of using afuse over traditional automounters is that afuse
is designed to run entirely in user-space by individual users. This way an
automounting action can take advantage of the invoking users environment,
for example allowing access to an ssh-agent for password-less sshfs
mounts, or allowing access to a graphical environment to get user input
to complete a mount (i.e. popping up a window asking for a password).
