Free automated support for compound rpc calls software for linux

Automated support for compound RPC calls is a project which augments RPCGEN to support NFSv4-style compound procedures.

NFSv4 specifies that the RPC calls be batched into a "compound" call. There is no support for this in RPCGEN.

By rearranging the ONC IDL for NFSv4 into AutoGen definitions, these templates will emit the original IDL *plus* all the code to package, send, distribute, collect, return, and dispatch the results.

The distributed program author merely needs to call and supply server procedures for the routines specified in the IDL.

Templates for these calls and service routines is provided, too. The NFSv4 definitions are included.

Aargh is a code generator, written in C++ and licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). It generates C++ code to parse a command line, using the getopt() facility available in UNIX and UNIX-like environments.
Automated Argument Helper project supports command-line options with integer arguments, string arguments, and no arguments. The generated code is commented and carefully indented for readability.
Its nice to have lots of command line options, but its a real pain to code for them.
Not that its difficult. Its just tedious, time-consuming, error prone, and no fun. I used to wince at the thought of adding command line options.
Not any more. All I have to do is define the options I want in a small XML file, and run it through aargh. Instantly I have C++ source code that I can compile and link into my program.
If I need to add another option, or otherwise change the rules, I can edit the XML and regenerate the code. No muss, no fuss. Now I can spend more time on the interesting parts of the project.
To use aargh, write an XML file to describe the options you want. When aargh reads the file, it generates two C++ files.
One file is a header that declares a class to represent the options. By default this class is named "Opts," but you can specify a different name. The other file is the implementation of Opts, or whatever you decide to call it. The Opts class provides member functions to parse the command line and return the results.
In your own code, declare an instance of Opts and call Opts::get() to parse the command line, passing it the argc and argv arguments from main(). Opts::get() returns zero if the command line follows the rules that you have outlined in the XML file, or non-zero otherwise. If the parsing is successful, the Opts object stores the results and makes them available to your program by a series of accessor functions.
Main features:
- You can enforce upper and/or lower limits on the number of non-option arguments.
- You can distinguish between options that take arguments and those that dont.
- You can specify that an option is required.
- You can require that the argument to an option be a non-negative integer.
- For an integer argument you can enforce upper and/or lower limits.
- For a string argument you can enforce upper and/or lower limits on the string length.
- For a string argument you can call a function of your own to validate the argument.
- You can allow multiple occurrences of the same option. In that case the generated code builds an STL vector to hold the arguments. By default the generated software allows only one occurrence of any given option.
Enhancements:
- You can now specify the location of the generated header file independently of its name.
- This feature may make it easier to incorporate aargh into complex build environments.

A patch for Net Accounting Daemon which adds support for logging network traffic on a MySQL Server.
You can control nacctd with so called signals. Here is what the signals do (one might call this abuse of signals:
SIGINT ends daemon
SIGTERM ends daemon
SIGUSR1 increases debugging level
SIGUSR2 turns off debugging
SIGWINCH prints some kind of version id
SIGTSTP disables writing to file
SIGCONT enables writing to file
The last two (TSTP and CONT) are useful for an automated archival of the logfiles without terminating the daemon. Just send a SIGTSTP before moving the logfile and send a SIGCONT when you are done.
Enhancements:
- modifyed process.c netacct.h
- Moved build process to use configure script ala GNU recommendations
- now all compile options are available as configure options except HASHSIZE which i think is for advanced users only

Apache XML-RPC is a Java implementation of XML-RPC, a popular protocol that uses XML over HTTP to implement remote procedure calls.
Apache XML-RPC was previously known as Helma XML-RPC.
If you have code using the Helma library, all you should have to do is change the import statements in your code from helma.xmlrpc.* to org.apache.xmlrpc.*.
Apache XML-RPC provides two client classes.
1. org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient uses java.net.URLConnection, the HTTP client that comes with the standard Java API
2. org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClientLite provides its own lightweight HTTP client implementation.
If you need full HTTP support (e.g. Proxies, Redirect etc), you should use XmlRpcClient. If you dont need full HTTP support and are concerned about performance, you should experiment with both XmlRpcClient and XmlRpcClientLite.
On some platforms XmlRpcClient may be faster, while on others XmlRpcClientLite may be faster. Both client classes provide the same interface, which includes methods for synchronous and asynchronous calls.
Enhancements:
- Version 3 is a complete rewrite of version 2.
- It introduces the concept of vendor extensions: by default, client and server are completely compliant to the XML-RPC specification.
- However, the user may enable certain non-standard features: streaming mode, support for all primitive Java types, nulls, DOM elements, JAXB objects, Serializable instances, and so on.
- Even more, the user may specify custom datatypes.

Forth Foundation Library, in short FFL is a Forth library. It gives you a collection of words written in (ANS) forth which are useful in areas such as data types, collections, interfaces, development support, and compound modules.
The modules in the library are grouped in five clusters:
- Data types - char
- Collections - single linked list
- Interfaces - crc-32
- Development - struct, unit test
- Compound - nothing yet.
Enhancements:
- This release adds four new features to the library, including an n-tree with an iterator, a SHA-256 module, and a regular expressions module.
- The library will now also run on MinForth.

GMP compiler tool simplifies the use of GMP, the GNU multiple precision library. It scans a C source file for specially marked GMPS arithmetic expressions and replaces them with plain C.
The abbreviation gmpc stands for GMP compiler, or alternatively GMPS-to-C compiler. GMPS arithmetic expressions are straightforward infix expressions which transparently support the special types mpq_t, mpz_t and mpf_t as defined by GMP. GMPS means, rather unimaginatively, `GMP script.
No dependencies are added to the resulting C source, so there is no need to include additional header files or link with special libraries other than GMP.
Invoking gmpc
To translate a .gmpc file to C source, at least the input and output files must be given. The most concise invocation would look like this:
gmpc -o foo.c foo.gmpc
This will translate foo.gmpc into foo.c.
It is highly recommended to enable all warnings with the -Wall switch:
gmpc -Wall -o foo.gmpc foo.c
Other switches can be used to change the default behaviour of gmpc. They are listed in the following sections.
Enhancements:
- Added support for C-like compound assignments, increment and decrement operators.
- Fixed an assignment precedence bug.
- Temporary variables and constants are grouped together to make generated code more readable.
- Added Doxygen comments and configuration file.

POI provides a java ports of popular OLE 2 file formats.
The POI project contains several components for dealing with popular OLE 2 formats in Java. POIFS is a pure Java implementation of the OLE 2 Compound document format.
HSSF is a pure Java implementation of Excel 97 XLS file format based on POIFS. HSSF Serializer is a pure Java serializer for Cocoon 2 that uses the Gnumeric XML format to output XLS.
Full documentation of the POIFS file format is included. If you wish to output reports in the Excel file format, or if you have existing XML documents that you need to get into Excel, then this project is probably what youre looking for.
Enhancements:
- Support for evaluating formulas in HSSF, initial support for HSLF (PowerPoint), and support for editing document properties (HPSF).
