RULI stands for Resolver User Layer Interface. Its a library built on top of an asynchronous DNS stub resolver. RULI provides an easy-to-use interface for querying DNS SRV resource records. The goal is to promote wide deployment of SRV-cognizant software. RULI aims to fully support SRV-related standards. There are bindings for PHP, Perl, Guile/Scheme, Java, and Lua. IPv6 is supported.

Now you can understand the benefits of SRV records and please see how RULI can help you.

SRV records are more complex than A records

Handling DNS SRV is not as simple as to deal with ordinary address records. When one performs a query for A records by calling gethostbyname(), he gets a list of addresses which should be contacted in the same order as they were received. For SRV records, there is an additional logic that must be applied to the records, based on their weight and priority, to discover the correct sequence for contacting them.
RULI can handle SRV records for you

The SRV logic is described in RFC 2782. Those who intend to use SRV benefits in their application are expected to implement that exact behavior. RULI can help here: it automatically performs all the SRV logic for you.
Keep focus on your application logic

Application developers probably want to spend time on their business logic; not dealing with the details of the DNS protocol or implementing the SRV specification.

RULI is a tested framework designed to properly fetch SRV records. It saves you time and head aches.
RULI is free as in free beer and in free speech

ippfp is an easy-to-use library which provides oo-methods for creating and rendering user interfaces in PHP independently from output format. It features HTML, GTK, PDF and ncurses.
You can create input masks such as forms for databases or other user interfaces. ippfp features abstraction, elements can be accessed like data structures, they have values and various attributes.
For me ippfp is a construction kit to build software quickly.
Another purpose could be the automatically generation by software.
You can select one of these packages to display:
- HTML
- PDF
- GTK
- ncurses
Available elements:
- button
- checkbox
- choice
- fopen (file open)
- grid
- image
- label (readonly text)
- link
- multiplechoice
- password
- radio
- text
- textarea
- table
The library puts the elements together in a frame. For HTML a HTML page will be created which contains the elements, GTK and ncurses have appropriate windows. The data of elements will be stored in session variables.
One does not need to care for details of formats like HTML-tags or GTK-classes. For navigating within a program the button element should be used. To arrange elements the elements "grid" or rather "table" are the right choices.
Elements are created with the "create"-functions which are members of the ippfp main instance and returns objects respective to the goal. To make them visible they will be grouped in a "view" which will be given to the ippfp main instance for processing.
This is a flexible way because an existing element can be used in several views. Thus, elements will be included by reference, not by copy. The advantages are: if an element is in a state, it is independent from the current view and related informations are available globally.
For example: create a text element:
$myText = $ippfp->createText("default", 20, "my_text");
...
echo $myText->getValue();
Your code should be organised into php functions. For example if a button is used, it calls the function given as attribute. It is expedient to integrate your views into this functions.
Enhancements:
- switched from html to xhtml, format identifier is XHTML
- a simple debug function added, for internal debugging, writes messages into a file (usefull for ncurses)
- pdf passes the "tabellentest", tables and grids can extend over a big number of pages, and can contain big text
- some bugfixes in xhtml and pdf

WhileInterpreter is an interpreter for the WHILE programming language used for learning purpose.

WhileInterpreter has few constructs and easy semantics.

Command line interpreters allow users to issue various commands in a very efficient (and often terse) way. This requires the user to know the names of the commands and their parameters, and the syntax of the language that is interpreted. From the 1960s onwards, user interaction with computers was primarily by means of command line interfaces.

In the 1970s, researchers began to develop graphical user interfaces (GUIs)to provide an alternative user interface for computers, whereby commands were represented by pictorial operations, rather than as textual descriptions. Since they are easier to learn than command line interfaces, they have become the most common way of interacting with a computer.

However, command line interpreters remain widely used in conjunction with GUIs. For some complex tasks, the latter are less effective because of the large number of menus and dialog boxes presented and because of the innate difficulty of representing the underlying task graphically.

User::pwent is a Perl interface getpw*() functions.

SYNOPSIS

use User::pwent;
$pw = getpwnam(daemon) || die "No daemon user";
if ( $pw->uid == 1 && $pw->dir =~ m#^/(bin|tmp)?z#s ) {
print "gid 1 on root dir";
}

$real_shell = $pw->shell || /bin/sh;

for (($fullname, $office, $workphone, $homephone) =
split /s*,s*/, $pw->gecos)
{
s/&/ucfirst(lc($pw->name))/ge;
}

use User::pwent qw(:FIELDS);
getpwnam(daemon) || die "No daemon user";
if ( $pw_uid == 1 && $pw_dir =~ m#^/(bin|tmp)?z#s ) {
print "gid 1 on root dir";
}

$pw = getpw($whoever);

use User::pwent qw/:DEFAULT pw_has/;
if (pw_has(qw[gecos expire quota])) { .... }
if (pw_has("name uid gid passwd")) { .... }
print "Your struct pwd has: ", scalar pw_has(), "n";

This modules default exports override the core getpwent(), getpwuid(), and getpwnam() functions, replacing them with versions that return User::pwent objects. This object has methods that return the similarly named structure field name from the Cs passwd structure from pwd.h, stripped of their leading "pw_" parts, namely name, passwd, uid, gid, change, age, quota, comment, class, gecos, dir, shell, and expire. The passwd, gecos, and shell fields are tainted when running in taint mode.

You may also import all the structure fields directly into your namespace as regular variables using the :FIELDS import tag. (Note that this still overrides your core functions.) Access these fields as variables named with a preceding pw_ in front their method names. Thus, $passwd_obj->shell corresponds to $pw_shell if you import the fields.

The getpw() function is a simple front-end that forwards a numeric argument to getpwuid() and the rest to getpwnam().

To access this functionality without the core overrides, pass the use an empty import list, and then access function functions with their full qualified names. The built-ins are always still available via the CORE:: pseudo-package.

User Account Information provides an ethernet users/customers traffic counter.
User Account Information is lightweight system for accounting for ethernet traffic on a per-user basis.
It includes a Web-based interface for allowing users to view their own network accounting information.
This product was designed and was tested in RedHat Linux 6.2 and in SlackWare Linux 7.0.
Main features:
- For each customer (who have IP adress in your local network area) are added two ipchains rule for counting input and output traffic.
- Each customer can look his own account information through WEB-interface.
- You ( as system administrator) can correct anything You want or anything you dont like in this program.
Enhancements:
- A date format error solely affecting output with DD/MM/YYYY action dates was corrected in the cgi-bin part.

Cuiterm is a CUI (Composite User Interface) terminal.
CUI (Composite User Interface) is a compound type of user interface which incorporates the features of the GUI (Graphical User Interface) and the CLI (Command Line Interface) by realizing both interface in one area at the same time.
It is absolutely substantial that the CUI contains GUI elements and control language in the same area of the screen at the same time, so the incorporation is complete. CUI is not an optional, alternatively selectable combination of the two communication method but a truly new approach.
An other relevant feature of the CUI method is that it uses generated commands. When the user activated some GUI part of the user interface an automatically generated command appears to complete the task so the user can observ how the CLI part of the user interface can be used.
The cuiterm is a pilot application for the CUI methodology made to demonstrate the power of the composite user interfaces. As terminals are usually used with some shell to start simple UNIX utility programs, the Cui library can be considered as a composite user interface for the shell and some UNIX utilities. The following screenshot shows the starting screen of the cuiterm.
How to use it?
To test the composite user interface first you have to download the cuiterm and and install it. After the installation is complete the program can be started with the cuiterm command.
When the terminal emulator started it can be used the usual way by typing commands into it. Some programs and some complex commands are interpreted by the terminal and colorized (see the list below). For these commands the screen should have active areas usable with the left mouse button by double clicking on them. The output of some programs have floating menus with context sensitive functions. The menus can be accessed by the right mouse button. Some parts of the screen can be used to fire up a text entry field by holding down the left mouse button.
The following list contains some interpreted and processed commands that are worth trying.
ls -l and some variants of it
df
who
w
ps aux
stat
finger
cat /etc/fstab
Enhancements:
- This version contains new features, including an automatic GUI generator which creates dialog boxes from manual pages, a working progress bar, enhanced size bars, and some new command parsers.
- The drag and drop, the speed of the terminal, and the existing parsers were also enhanced.

Piorun Jabber Client is a Jabber client for Gnome with user interface simmilar to IRC clients.

Currenly implemented features include: standard chat, multi-user chat, roster and subscriptions management, VCards, privacy lists, secure connections (TLS and SALSL).
Piorun is written using Mono/Gtk#

Folder Extension Wizard provides a small extension that Loads extensions from folders (unpacked xpi files).

A wizard is a user interface element where the user is led through a sequence of dialogs. Unlike most modern user interface paradigms, the user is forced to perform the task in a specific sequence.

However, for complex or infrequently performed tasks where the user is unfamiliar with the steps involved, it may make it easier for them to perform the task. In some open source software, wizards are called Druids.
