Simple Sockets Library provides a simple C programming interface to sockets.
The Simple Sockets Library makes sockets easy to use and comes as public domain source code. It resembles Cs file I/O, uses whatever port is available, has named servers and port reuse, streaming/blocking sockets used, polling support, blocking/selection support via numerous functions, timeout control and firewall support.
Main features:
- Resembles Cs file i/o:
- Sclose() Sgets() Sopen() Sprintf() Sputs() Sread() Sscanf() Swrite() Svprintf()
- Uses currently available ports only, so if a server can be brought up, it will be
- Named sockets -- servers have names, not fixed port addresses!
- (no more REUSEADDR problems, linger setting, zombie sockets!)
- Streaming/blocking sockets used
- Polling supported (ie. avoids blocking):
- Stest() Smasktest() Speek()
- Numerous functions to handle multiple concurrent clients:
- Smaskfdset() Smaskpush() Smasktime() Smaskunset() Smaskwait()
- Smaskget() Smaskset() Smaskunfdset() Smaskuse() Sprtmask()
- Smaskpop() Smasktest()
- Timeout control:
- Stimeoutwait() Smasktime()
- The PortMaster (Spm): Maintains a distributed port/server-name database Each machine runs a PortMaster which maps servers by name to their ports (transparent to programmers and users!)
- Firewall Support
- The PortMaster can (optionally) only "put through" connections from approved machine sites
- Supports "path"ing for sockets: one can use an environment variable to track down a server, by name, on any machine in a group:
- Sopenv()
- Doesnt need root privileges (thats Unix lingo...)
- Now supports fixed ports (servers and/or clients) to facilitate interfacing to non-SSL servers/clients
The Simple Sockets Librarys main purpose is to provide an Application Programming Interface that strongly resembles the standard C librarys file handling interface. Thus programmers find that the Simple Sockets Librarys learning curve is particularly short. As a secondary purpose the Simple Sockets Library helps programmers avoid some common programming problems with sockets (avoided: large buffers that dont transfer in their entirety without special effort, the Nagle algorithms practical effect of often limiting one to five transfers per second, servers whose ports refuse to re-open until two minutes have passed, etc). Strings are null-byte terminated just like regular C/C++ strings, facilitating their ease of use in C/C++ programming.
The Simple Sockets Library preferentially uses names for its servers rather than requiring hard-coded port numbers. Imagine if, instead of files having names, everyone went about saying "use sector 4 and track 14" or somesuch thing. This situation reflects what we now have with sockets -- and when two programs use the same port number for their servers, they cant co-exist simultaneously on a system. However, especially for those whose programs must interface with other programs using hard-coded port numbers, the Simple Socket Library also supports hard-code port numbers.
The Simple Sockets Library opens streaming sockets. Thus the Simple Sockets Librarys sockets provide guaranteed delivery of information in the correct order (unlike datagrams, for example).
The PortMaster (Spm), source code for which is part of the library, provides a "phonebook" to map server names to dynamically allocated port numbers. Port numbers thus wont clash; the operating system determines which ones are currently available and the PortMasters effectively publish the result.
Enhancements:
- (Marcel Satchel) improved for Windows
- (Aug 22, 2005) included the "b" option for Sopen() (block until requested server becomes available)
- (Marcel Satchel) Sinit.c fixed (yet again!)

Fid Core Library is the core library for the Frigand Imperial Desktop, a genuine Unix desktop environment based around multiprocessing, text-stream IPC, and the "everything is a file" concept.
It supports Emacs-like extensibility, customizability, and built-in multi-buffer support.
Enhancements:
- This release adds testing support for the axioms over buffer implementations and user interfaces, a better implementation of interactive, and a new cursor movement mechanism that allows the user interface to manage point itself (and, hence, keep it always on a widget).

Papyrus is a 2d C++ scenegraph library that utilizes the cairo library to perform drawing operations. In this respect, Papyrus Library is similar to the Gnome::Canvas library.

The initial implementation focuses on function over form, and as a result it should not be considered an optimized run-time library (but it does run reasonably well).

STUN Protocol Library provides the Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs Library.
STUN Protocol Library, Client and Server implements a simple STUN (Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs) server and client, using the included library.
The STUN protocol is described in the IETF RFC 3489, available from the IETF.
STUN is a lightweight protocol that allows applications to discover the presence and types of Network Address Translators (NATs) and firewalls between them and the public Internet.
It also provides the ability for applications to determine the public IP addresses allocated to them by the NAT.
STUN works with nearly all existing NATs, and does not require any special behavior from them.
As a result, it allows a wide variety of applications to work through existing NAT infrastructure.
The STUN protocol is very simple, being almost identical to echo.
Enhancements:
- Changed to new terminology.

asio is a cross-platform C++ library for network programming that provides developers with a consistent asynchronous I/O model using a modern C++ approach.

asio is released under the Boost Software License.

GPM client library (libgpm) package is an stand-alone version of GPMs client library, used by many console applications for mouse access.
Despite the (now quite aged) GPM package it contains just the client part (no server), and provides a pkgconfig descriptor (libgpm.pc) for easy importing.
Enhancements:
- This release pulls in some outstanding patches from upstream and Gentoo. It adds a Gentoo ebuild file.

TCB::Library provides a database-backed book library package for DBIx::Frame.

TCB::Library is a DBIx::Frame object written to keep track of library books at the TCB Group at UIUC.

It provides a Web interface for adding books to the library, for users to check out and return them, and for reminder messages to be sent out periodically to list what books are checked out.

This is actually a fairly basic function of research groups, but doesnt have a standard software package.
