Free stderr software for linux

htsserver project consists of a server application of the multiplayer trading game Holsham Traders
htsserver is the server application for Holsham Traders, a realtime multiplayer trading game. In the game, you are a merchant on a distant planet trying to make as much money as possible by buying and selling goods.
htsserver is the name of the server. You also need a client to play the game.
Enhancements:
- We use autoconf 2.49c and the latest CVS automake now.
- htsserver now requires Glib 1.3.2 or better.
- Rewrite of the networking code, the logging code, configfile support, the string parsing routine and much more.
- We use htsprotocol 0.4.6 now. There were several changes in the protocol. See docs/PROTOCOL for details.
- login_timeout and autosave_delay can now be turned off.
- Removed the defaultgame option and the commandline options --gamename and --creategame.
- Added the commandline options --configfile, --logfile, --datadir and --savegamesdir.
- Lots of documentation updates. Added the manpage htsserver.conf(5).
- More verbosive and more descriptive error reports.
- Removed some arbitrary limits, e.g. the length of the logging-messages is not limited anymore.
- Removed the commandline options --daemonize and --stderr-device.
- You cannot log to stderr anymore. htsserver always runs as daemon, now.
- Removed savegame support. This will be re-implemented. Savegame files will either be ASCII files or XML files.
- Added configure options --with-configfile=FILE, --with-logfile=FILE, --with-datadir=DIR and --with-savegamesdir=DIR to make the game more relocatable.
- htsserver is FHS compliant, now.
- Fixed several format string vulnerabilities.
- Lots and lots of internal improvements and of course the usual bugfixes.

Jack Meter is a basic console based DPM (Digital Peak Meter) for JACK. I wrote it for quickly checking remote signal levels, without having to run X11 to use a pretty graphical meter such as meterbridge.
Usage
Usage jack_meter [-f freqency] [-r ref-level] [-w width] [-n] [< port >, ...]
where -f is how often to update the meter per second (8)
-r is the reference signal level for 0dB on the meter
-w is how wide to make the meter (79)
-n changes mode to output meter level as number in decibels
< port > the ports to monitor (multiple ports are mixed)
Enhancements:
- uses new JACK API (and hence requires JACK version 0.100.0)
- connects multiple ports on the command line
- informational messages are new sent to STDERR
- added -n option to output level as number in decibels

Safe::World can create multiple virtual instances of a Perl interpreter that can be assembled together.

SYNOPSIS

See USE section for complexer example and the test.pl script.

use Safe::World ;

my $world = Safe::World->new(
stdout => $stdout , ## - redirect STDOUT to this scalar.
stderr => $stderr , ## - redirect STDERR to this scalar.
flush => 1 , ## - output is flushed, soo dont need to wait exit to
## have all the data inside $stdout.
) ;

## Evaluate some code:
$world->eval(q`
use Data::Dumper ;
print Dumper( {a => 1 , b => 2} ) ;
`);

$world->close ; ## ensure that everything is finished and flushed.

die($stderr) if $stderr ;

print $stdout ;

$world = undef ; ## Destroy the world. Here the compartment is cleanned.

Note that in this example, inside the World is loaded Data::Dumper, but Data::Dumper was loaded only inside of it, keeping the outside normal.

TrouSerS is a Trusted Computing Group Software Stack in short TCG TSS implementation.

Amigadepacker uncompresses various compression formats used on AmigaOS.
The supported formats are PowerPacker, XPK SQSH, and MMCMP. Amigadepacker can also decrypt PowerPacker encrypted data files.
Usage: amigadepacker [-c] [-h] [-p] [-v] FILE ...
-c Unpack to stdout.
-h Print this.
-p Do not depack anything, just pretend to. Useful for searching packed
files. Names of packed files will be printed to stderr. Pretend mode
always returns success if arguments are valid.
-v Print version information.
Example 1: Depack file:
amigadepacker foo
Example 2: Depack file from stdin to stdout:
amigadepacker -c < foo > outfile
Enhancements:
- StoneCracker 4.04 format support was added, and decompressing a file through stdin was fixed.

shrewd is a lightweight and simple Internet Gopher server.
The project supports IPv4/IPv6 and runs on Unix-like systems (Developed on OpenBSD/i386, tested on NetBSD, FreeBSD and Linux on i386).
The options are as follows:
-c Specify a custom configuration file location (default is
/etc/shrewd.conf).
-f Dont detach from the controlling terminal. Syslog messages are
copied to stderr.
CONFIGURATION
The shrewd configuration file has the syntax of "keyword value". You may specify one keyword/value-pair per line. Lines beginning with a # are comments. Possible keywords are:
accesslog_file
File name to use for the access log. If not specified,
no accesslog will be written.
chroot Chroot to the specified directory. Should be an abso-
lute path. If not specified, dont chroot. You proba-
bly need to have /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts in
the chroot for clients to work properly.
document_root
The document root directory. Must be specified.
port An alternate port. Can be a numeric port or a service
name (listed in /etc/services). If not specified, the
default gopher port will be used.
user The name of the user to setuid() to. GID will be set
to this users gid. If not specified, run as the user
who invoked the daemon.
Enhancements:
- Small feature enhancements, bugfixes, and cleanup.

Gtk2::Ex::Carp is a GTK+ friendly die() and warn() functions.

SYNOPSIS

use Gtk2::Ex::Carp;

# these override the standard Perl functions:

warn(i told you not to push that button!);

die(an ignominious death);


# new functions for showing extended error information:

# like warn(), but shows a dialog with extra information
# in an expandable text entry:
worry($SHORT_MESSAGE, $EXTENDED_INFORMATION);

# like worry(), but fatal:
wail($SHORT_MESSAGE, $EXTENDED_INFORMATION);

This module exports four functions, of which two override the standard die() and warn() functions, and two which allow for extended error reporting. When called, these functions display a user-friendly message dialog window.

The die() function in this module actually replaces the core die() function, so any modules youve loaded may die will use former instead of the latter. die() will also print the error message to STDERR and will exit the program (with the appropriate exit code) when the dialog is dismissed.

The warn() function will also print a message to STDERR, but will allow the program to continue running when the dialog is dismissed.

EXTRA FUNCTIONS
The worry() and wail() functions behave just like warn() and die(), respectively, except that they allow you to provide additional information. A second argument, which can contain additional error information, is used to fill a text box inside an expander.

HANDLING GLIB EXCEPTIONS
This module also installs warn() as a Glib exception handler. Any unhandled exceptions will be presented to the user in a warning dialog.

PROGRAM FLOW
Note that all the functions in this module create dialogs and use the run() method, so that the standard Glib main loop is blocked until the user responds to the dialog.

IO::Interactive is a Perl module with utilities for interactive I/O.

SYNOPSIS

use IO::Interactive qw(is_interactive interactive busy);

if ( is_interactive() ) {
print "Running interactivelyn";
}

# or...

print {interactive} "Running interactivelyn";


$fh = busy {
do_noninteractive_stuff();
}

This module provides three utility subroutines that make it easier to develop interactive applications...

is_interactive()

This subroutine returns true if *ARGV and *STDOUT are connected to the terminal. The test is considerably more sophisticated than:

-t *ARGV && -t *STDOUT

as it takes into account the magic behaviour of *ARGV.

You can also pass is_interactive a writable filehandle, in which case it requires that filehandle be connected to a terminal (instead of *STDOUT). The usual suspect here is *STDERR:

if ( is_interactive(*STDERR) ) {
carp $warning;
}
interactive()

This subroutine returns *STDOUT if is_interactive is true. If is_interactive() is false, interactive returns a filehandle that does not print.

This makes it easy to create applications that print out only when the application is interactive:

print {interactive} "Please enter a value: ";
my $value = ;

You can also pass interactive a writable filehandle, in which case it writes to that filehandle if it is connected to a terminal (instead of writinbg to *STDOUT). Once again, the usual suspect is *STDERR:

print {interactive(*STDERR)} $warning;

busy {...}

This subroutine takes a block as its single argument and executes that block. Whilst the block is executed, *ARGV is temporarily replaced by a closed filehandle. That is, no input from *ARGV is possible in a busy block. Furthermore, any attempts to send input into the busy block through *ARGV is intercepted and a warning message is printed to *STDERR. The busy call returns a filehandle that contains the intercepted input.

A busy block is therefore useful to prevent attempts at input when the program is busy at some non-interactive task.
