[[Interface::library]]

AVbin

AVbin is a thin wrapper around FFmpeg, providing binary compatibility for applications and languages that need it. FFmpeg is a collection of audio and video codecs widely used in projects such as mplayer, xine, gstreamer and VLC. It is under continuous development; so much so that its developers rarely provide a release, and SVN snapshots of the library must be statically linked to avoid version incompatibilities. AVbin allows programs that require dynamic linkage to use FFmpeg. It does this by providing:

an accurate version number within the shared library, allowing applications to select the appropriate data structures and functions to use at runtime, and
a simplified interface with an unchanging ABI to the most common decoding functionality within FFmpeg.
AVbin is distributed as a single dynamic library (.so on GNU/Linux, .dylib on Mac OS X, and .dll on Windows) that depends on no other files or installations. This eliminates the many complexities of building FFmpeg on platforms other than GNU/Linux; however you can still build it from source if you prefer.

Aalib: 'Aalib' is a low level gfx library that works on any kind of terminal. It does not require graphics devices (in fact, no graphical output is possible), and is particularly useful for those with older hardware who do not want to worry about overloading their systems with graphical applications.

Abclock: 'abclock' gives a spatial representation of time. It isn't tied to the design of a mechanical clock, but instead uses the natural properties of bitmaps: straight lines and rectangles. The clock uses ordinary hours and minutes. Placement and movement of objects is analogous to mechanical clocks. Time has a symmetrical property that is reflected in the way time changes in this clock. It is clear and exact up to parts of minutes, even when the bitmap is very small.

Achievo ATK: Achievo ATK is an object oriented Web-application Framework, written in PHP. It is targeted at developers who wish to focus on business logic, instead of coding HTML. Where other application frameworks mainly provide a large set of utility classes, ATK provides a complete framework that requires only small amounts of code to get usable applications, while maintaining full flexibility. It is currently the back-end software for the 'achievo' project management/project tracking tool.

Aiohttp: Supports WebSocket and can provide middlewares and pluggable routing for servers.

Airhook: Airhook is a reliable data delivery protocol, like TCP. Unlike TCP, Airhook gracefully handles intermittent, unreliable, or delayed networks. Other features include session recovery, queue control, and delivery status notification. Airhook is useful for keeping connections running over bad wireless networks (like CDPD), intermittent dial-up connections, and any other network that doesn't work very well. The implementation includes a TCP proxy (so you can use HTTP, SSH, etc.) and a protocol library for applications that want more control (real-time media delivery, games, etc).

Alchemist: This package provides a functional, Ruby Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for casting, transforming and transposing objects. The project's README file provides the following explanation of the purpose of this library:

Rationale

Casting complex objects from one type to another can be an uncomfortable process to express well. Objects that we use on a daily basis are not always in our control, and, even when they are, some don't lend themselves to simple construction. Remote service communication objects or complex data structures from libraries we use in our applications can result in large piles of casting code.
This circumstance often produces large swaths of procedural code, even if split up into separate function calls. This code can be not only difficult to understand, but difficult to test if an object requires a great deal of set up. Field or method assignments midway through can change and break the entire operation.
The goal of this project is to provide a method of defining easily digestible specifications for object translation that are also easily testable and changeable. The project focuses on writing specifications for transformations and not doing direct mutation in the recipes. The result is something that should seem somewhat functional, but also exceedingly separable.

Algart

AlgART are free software Java libraries, supporting generalized smart arrays and matrices with elements of any types (1 bit, 8/16/32/64-bit integers, 32/64-bit floating point values and any other Java types), including a wide set of of 2D-, 3D- and multidimensional image processing and other algorithms, working with arrays and matrices.

Main Features

The libraries use 63-bit addressing of array elements (all indexes and length are represented by 64-bit long type). So, it's theoretically possible to create and process arrays and matrices containing up to 2^63-1 (~10^19) elements of any primitive or non-primitive types, if OS and hardware can provide necessary amount of memory or disk space.

Memory model concept allows storing AlgART arrays in different schemes, from simple Java arrays to mapped disk files; all necessary data transfers are performed automatically while every access to an element or a block of elements.

Most of algorithms are based on wide usage of lazy evaluations. Typical operations, like elementwise summing or geometrical matrix transformations, are implemented via lazy views of the source array or matrix.

- For example, you can take a multidimensional matrix, rotate it (or perform any other affine or projective transform), and then extract a submatrix from the result. All these operations will be performed virtually (not requiring time), and actual calculations will be performed only at the moment of accessing elements, usually while copying the resulting matrix to a newly created one. Moreover, in many cases the libraries will "understand" itself, that the user wants to perform rotation or another transform, and will split the matrix into suitable rectangular blocks (fitting in RAM) and choose the best algorithm for this task at the moment of copying operation.

The libraries contain a wide set of image processing algorithms over matrices: linear filtering, mathematical morphology, rank operations, spectral transformation (FFT), etc.

There is also skeletonization and measuring of binary images.

Featuring a syntax similar to C/C++, it has been designed from the beginning to be an easy to use component, both for the application programmer and the script writer.

AntTweakBar: AntTweakBar allows programmers to quickly add a light and intuitive graphical user interface into graphic programs to interactively tweak them. It is a small and easy to use C/C++ library that can be readily integrated into OpenGL and DirectX applications. It targets graphical programs that need an easy way to tweak parameters and see the result in real-time like 3D demos, light inline game editors, small 3D applications, prototypes, debug facilities of weighter graphical programs, etc. Programmers are not required to design the graphical interface by providing coordinates or by using a visual UI editor. Controls are automatically organized following an optional given hierarchy. In most cases, only one line of code is needed to add a new variable to a tweak bar. AntTweakBar can be easily integrated with your own windowing system or with existing toolkits. Examples of integration with GLFW, SDL, GLU are provided.

Armadillo: C++ library: Armadillo is a C++ linear algebra library (matrix and vector maths) aiming towards a good balance between efficiency and ease of use while staying lean. This library is useful if C++ has been decided as the language of choice (due to speed and/or integration capabilities), rather than another language like Matlab ÃÂ® or GNU Octave. Armadillo uses a delayed evaluation approach in order to combine several operations into one and reduce (or eliminate) the need for temporaries. This is accomplished through extensive use of recursive templates and template meta-programming.

Aspell: GNU Aspell is a spell checker that can be used either as a library or as an independent spell checker. It does a much better job of coming up with possible suggestions than other English language spell checkers. Other technical enhancements over Ispell include shared memory for dictionaries and intelligent handling of personal dictionaries when more than one Aspell process is open.

No file system, IP stack or device drivers are included, but developers can bolt on their own as required. Atomthreads will always be a small number of C files which are easy to port to any platforms that require threading by adding a simple architecture-specific file.

Aubio: aubio is a library for audio labeling. Its features include segmenting a sound file before each of its attacks, performing pitch detection, tapping the beat and producing midi streams from live audio. The name aubio comes from 'audio' with a typo: several transcription errors are likely to be found in the results too. The aim of this project is to provide these automatic labeling features to other audio softwares. Functions can be used off-line in sound editors and software samplers, or online in audio effects and virtual instruments.

Autotrace: Autotrace is a program which converts bitmap images to vector images. It can import images in BMP, TGA, PNM, PPM, PGM, PBM and those supported by ImageMagick, and can output Postscript, svg, xfig, swf, pstoedit, emf, dxf, cgm, mif, p2e and sk

Each function has a comment describing its interface, and each step in the algoritms the program uses has a comment also. Each source code file includes a built-in test routine.

B-Forms: 'B-Forms' is an object-oriented PHP library for developing Webform-based applications. It supports tabular forms with multiple records of the same type being edited simultaneously, and provides security mechanism against data tampering. The library provides two base layouts that cover the the vast majority of cases. Only in very tricky form layouts would you have to write HTML code to specify the form layout. It also automatically saves and restores hidden fields. 'B-Forms' divides a script into three logical areas: form definition, data management, and form presentation. Forms have a powerful block architecture, each block typically representing a different data object within the form. Each block can be used to edit several objects at once- the library handles record management.

BLAS: The BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) are routines that provide standard building blocks for performing basic vector and matrix operations. The Level 1 BLAS perform scalar, vector and vector-vector operations, the Level 2 BLAS perform matrix-vector operations, and the Level 3 BLAS perform matrix-matrix operations. Because the BLAS are efficient, portable, and widely available, they are commonly used in the development of high quality linear algebra software, LAPACK for example.

There are also no patent or royalty issues associated with BeeCrypt.

Bennu: Bennu is a software library written in PHP that implements the functionality of the IETF iCalendar 2.0 specification (RFC 2445). Its purpose is to enable applications which have an interest in this format (e.g. calendaring, scheduler and organizer programs) to support iCalendar in an easy, powerful, and extensible way.

BigMath: Based partly on Knuth's Seminumerical Algorithms and written in C, BigMath aims to be light-weight and fast. Its original implementation was for use within a kernel extension - thus size and speed were essential. BigMath supports only integer math, including add, sub, mul, div, mod, modpow, modinv, pow, gcd, factorial, radix conversion, scientific notation and various comparisons.

Bill's OpenGL Library: BOGL - an OpenGL scenegraph/renderer supporting modern hardware (vertex and pixel programs via Cg, buffer objects, etc), freetype fonts, XML resource files, bezier patches, state sorting, separate render and simulation threads.

Binary I O library: 'libbinio' uses its own protocol to store and retrieve binary data portably. It uses an fprintf/fscanf interface, exporting eight functions: fputf, vfputf, fgetf, vfgetf, fwputf, vfwputf, fwgetf, and vfwgetf. Rather than using data types such as "16 bits", it uses standard C types and uses printf/scanf-style argument lists (it even uses GNU argument checking if available). It should be a drop-in replacement for printf/scanf and still work perfectly well. It aims to be portable to every C89-conforming implementation, but can use C99 and GNU extensions if available.

Bioinformatics Template Library: This library focuses on the data structures and algorithms used in bioinformatics and molecular modelling, following closely the approach of the Standard Template Library (STL) to implement efficient generic programming modules using compile time mechanisms. Although the BTL was designed with biomolecular applications in mind it contains classes of more general utility: for instance, the Matrix class could be used for matrix algebra in many contexts.

Biskit: Biskit is a python library for structural bioinformatics research. It simplifies the analysis of macromolecular structures, protein complexes, and molecular dynamics trajectories and offers a platform for the rapid integration of external programs.

Bit Vector: Bit::Vector is a (stand-alone) C library and an object-oriented Perl module (with overloaded operators) which allows you to handle bit vectors, sets (of integers), "big integer arithmetic" (e.g. for cryptography), and boolean matrices (all of arbitrary size) very efficiently. The package also includes an object-oriented Perl module for accessing the C library from Perl (the library can also be used by itself, without Perl). Optionally, it features overloaded operators for maximum ease of use.

Bitap: The bitap library is a clean implementation of regular expression (regex/grep) string matching using the bitap algorithm. Approximate (a.k.a. fuzzy) matching is allowed. This is the same algorithm as the one used in Glimpse and agrep, but it is much more complete with regard to regular expression syntax, and is much cleaner. It is quite fast compared to other greps due to the bitap algoritm and modern CPU architechture. Modifying code for special cases speeds things up even futher. Note that the complete 'search' string must be matched by the pattern. If you want to search for substrings of the search string, prefix and postfix the pattern with '.*'.

Bitpacket: BitPacket is a Python module to represent bit field structures in an easy object-oriented way. BitPacket provides three classes: BitField, BitStructure and BitVariableStructure which represent simple bit fields, and fixed and variable structures of bit fields respectively. BitStructure and BitVariableStructure are BitField themselves and all of them can be used together in order to build packets. That is, we can add any BitField subclass into a BitStructure or BitVariableStructure.

Bitstring: bitstring is a pure Python module designed to help make the creation and analysis of binary data as simple and natural as possible. BitStrings can be constructed from integers (big and little endian), hex, octal, binary, strings or files. They can be sliced, joined, reversed, inserted into, overwritten, etc. with simple functions or slice notation. They can also be read from, searched and replaced, and navigated in, similar to a file or stream.

Bitwise enums: A very simple, 0-overhead, and yet type-safe 1-file library for doing bitwise operations between masks represented by enums. Please note: This library has been subsumed into MiLi and is no longer being maintained individually.

Blip Buffer: Blip_Buffer implements efficient band-limited sound synthesis buffers, allowing high-quality emulation of video game sound chips. After setting the source clock rate and output sampling rate, waveforms are generated by specifying the time points where amplitude changes occur. Treble and bass adjustments are also supported. Many examples are included that show basic waveform generation, sample buffering schemes, and more advanced topics. They can be made to write output to a wave sound file, or optionally use the SDL multimedia library for real-time playback, waveform display, and mouse control of parameters.

BlockCanvas: The BlockCanvas project provides a visual environment for creating simulation experiments, where function and data are separated. Thus, you can define your simulation algorithm by visually connecting function blocks into a data flow network, and then run it with various data sets (known as "contexts"); likewise, you can use the same context in a different functional simulation. The project provides support for plotting, function searching and inspection, and optimization. It includes a stand-alone application that demonstrates the block-canvas environment, but the same functionality can be incorporated into other applications. The BlockCanvas project relies on included libraries that allow multiple data sets using Numeric arrays to be incorporated in a Traits-based model in a way that is simple, fast, efficient, and consistent.

The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of PostScript and PDF. Operations in cairo including stroking and filling cubic Bézier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images, and antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be transformed by any affine transformation (scale, rotation, shear, etc.) Cairo is implemented as a library written in the C programming language, but bindings are available for several different programming languages.

CamlTemplate: 'CamlTemplate' is a small template processor library for Objective Caml. It can be used to generate Web pages, scripts, SQL queries, XML documents, and other sorts of text files. It provides a versatile, easy-to-learn template syntax that supports common scripting-language constructs, while encouraging a separation between presentation logic and application logic. The supported Caml data structures accomodate lists, tables, and trees of items in a straightforward manner. CamlTemplate works well with mod_caml, supports any ASCII-compatible encoding, including UTF-8, and includes optional support for multithreading.

Carrot: carrot is an AMQP messaging queue framework. AMQP is the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol, an open standard protocol for message orientation, queuing, routing, reliability and security. The aim of carrot is to make messaging in Python as easy as possible by providing a high-level interface for producing and consuming messages. At the same time it is a goal to re-use what is already available as much as possible. carrot has pluggable messaging back-ends, so it is possible to support several messaging systems. At the time of release, the py-amqplib based backend is considered suitable for production use. Several AMQP message broker implementations exists, including RabbitMQ, ZeroMQ and Apache ActiveMQ. You'll need to have one of these installed, personally we've been using RabbitMQ. Before you start playing with carrot, you should probably read up on AMQP, and you could start with the excellent article about using RabbitMQ under Python, Rabbits and warrens. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Wikipedia article about AMQP.

Cbase: Cbase formerly known as CFL (C Foundation Library) is a C library that simplifies systems software development on *nix systems. It includes functions for memory management, string parsing, sub-process execution, filesystem traversal, I/O, interfaces to IPC mechanisms including pseudo-terminals, shared memory, semaphores, and other facilities. It also has implementations of common dynamic data structures like linked lists, queues, stacks, and hash tables, a real-time scheduler similar to 'cron', and high-level APIs to Berkeley sockets and other networking functions. Full documentation is included. This package was formerly known as the Ping Utility Library.

Ccaudio: GNU ccAudio is a stand-alone C++ class library and newly designated GNU package for manipulating audio data, whether on disk or in memory. GNU ccAudio offers the ability to work with audio file formats on disk by treating audio data as sequenced arrays of sample data rather than as arbitrary octets as some audio file manipulation libraries do. In addition to being audio content aware, GNU ccAudio allows header manipulation for setting things like annotation fields. GNU ccAudio is also endian aware and highly portable to both posix and win32 based systems. GNU ccAudio also offers basic audio signal processing including tone data set generation and pluggable codec operations. In the future we will provide loadable free software audio codec modules for many common audio encoding formats where not patent encumbered.

Ccl: 'ccl' is the 'customizable configuration library': a collection of functions for application programmers who want to interface with user-editable configuration files containing key/value pairs. The comment, key/value, and string literal delimiters can be programatically specified at runtime. 'ccl' is designed to be simple and portable; it has a small interface consisting of five functions. It uses avl's implemenation of binary search trees for backend storage.

Cday-php: The CDAY Calendar Almanac displays historical anniversaries such as birthdays and general events. It displays the equivalent date in multiple calendar systems, including Hebrew, Julian, JDNs, Great Underground Empire (Zork), and Shire (Lord of the Rings). Separate command line and Web-based versions are available, along with a free library of thousands of events.

Ceegeye: Renamed jwcgi library to ceegeye, ceegeye is a C++ library for creating CGI (Common Gateway Interface) programs, xhtml bindings, javascript helpers, etc. Comes with several example programs to help you get acquainted with its usage. ceegeye is platform independent.

Cgi-util: Cgi-util is a small C library for creating CGI programs for Websites. Functions are available for initialization (parsing), grabbing fields (by string, integer, double or boolean value), embedding HTML files, and more. It accepts both POST and GET request methods and has extensive error handling and support for cookies.

Cgipplib: 'cgipplib' is a small collection of support classes used to build CGI applications.

Cgixx: The cgixx C++ CGI class library is intended as a modern Common Gateway Interface library for ISO standard C++ compilers. It is not meant to generate complex HTML forms, but rather to ensure fast and reliable conversations between a Web server's CGI and your C++ code. 'cgixx' supports standard GET, POST, HEAD, and PUT CGI methods and cookies as defined in the version 1.1 specification.

Cheap Threads: Cheap Threads is a collection of routines for implementing synchronous threads. It includes a scheduler and a facility for passing messages among threads. Threads may run in a round robin or according to a priority scheme. Each thread must voluntarily relinquish control from time, via an ordinary function return, so that other threads can run. Since the threads are synchronous, i.e. they don't interrupt each other, they don't need to use semaphores, mutexes, critical sections, or other facilities to keep from interfering with each other. One version of Cheap Threads is designed for embedded systems.

Checker: Checker is a debugging tool suite which is used to find memory errors at runtime. 'Checker' can help find bugs that standard tools cannot always find. The best example is memory leaks. A memory leak is a zone of memory, allocated with malloc that is not used anymore. So the memory allocated is lost. This means you program needs more memory and runs slower, since your OS might have to start swapping. It detects bad memory accesses such as: reading uninitialized memory, writing in a freed zone, writing or reading outside of a memory block, and using NULL pointers. This is particularly useful for big programs with many functions. Checker maintains bitmaps to keep track of the status of each byte of memory. The status can be writable, readable, both, or none. When memory is allocated, the new memory becomes write-only: you are not allowed to read it because it has not been initialized. But when you you write to this new block, those bytes become readable and writable. When the block is freed, the bytes become unreadable and unwritable. Red zones are unreadable and unwritable memory, so that each access to a red zone produces a warning.

Chicken: CHICKEN is a simple Scheme-to-C compiler supporting the language features as defined in the 'Revised^5 Report on Scheme'. It supports full tail-recursion and first-class continuations. The code it generates is quite portable; compiled files generated by it (including itself) should work with either no or minor changes on other systems. Linking to C modules and C library functions is straightforward, and compiled programs can easily be embedded into existing C code. The package includes many extra libraries.

Clanlib: ClanLib is a medium level development kit. At its lowest level, it provides a platform independent way of dealing with display, sound, input, networking, files, threading, etc. Beyond that ClanLib builds a generic game development framework, giving you easy handling of resources, network object replication, graphical user interfaces (GUI) with theme support, game scripting and more. It lets game developers avoid lowlevel trivials like setting up a directdraw window, sound mixing, reading image files, etc. All those things are simplified into object oriented classes and function calls. ClanLib uses a resource system to keep track of images, fonts, samples and music. It supports Targa, PCX, JPEG, PNG and BMP for images; wave files for sample; and Ogg Vorbis and MikMod for music. The resource system separates physical data formats from your code, and makes it easy to make themes and other plugins for your game. All classes in clanlib focus on making simple interfaces that are customizeable and expandable. This keeps your game code clean and simple, but still lets you to do advanced work. ClanLib is object oriented, which lets you operate at both high and low levels, minimizing redundant code but still letting you do things not supported by clanlib's high level APIs.
