rxvt-unicode dist list(rxvt-unicode) cvs-pod(doc/rxvt.1.pod,) cvs-pod(doc/rxvt.7.pod,FAQ) cvs-pod(src/urxvt.pm,Perl) cvs-co(Changes) |
215 |
rxvt-unicode is a clone of the well known terminal emulator rxvt. |
216 |
|
217 |
<p>If you have a problem, please have a look at the |
218 |
<a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html">FAQ</a> |
219 |
<em>first</em>.</p> |
220 |
|
221 |
Its main features (many of them unique) over rxvt are: |
222 |
|
223 |
<ul> |
224 |
<li>Stores text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4).</li> |
225 |
<li>Uses locale-correct input, output and width: as long as your system supports the locale, |
226 |
rxvt-unicode will display correctly.</li> |
227 |
<li>Daemon mode: one daemon can open multiple windows on multiple displays, which |
228 |
improves memory usage and startup time considerably.</li> |
229 |
<li>Embedded perl, for endless customization and improvement opportunities, such as: |
230 |
<ul> |
231 |
<li>Tabbed terminal support.</li> |
232 |
<li>Regex-driven customisable selection that can properly select shell arguments, urls etc.</li> |
233 |
<li>Selection-transformation and option popup menus.</li> |
234 |
<li>Automatically transforming the selection once made.</li> |
235 |
<li>Incremental scrollback buffer search.</li> |
236 |
<li>Automatic URL-underlining and launching.</li> |
237 |
<li>Remote pastebin, digital clock, block graphics to ascii filter and |
238 |
whatever you like to implement for yourself.</li> |
239 |
</ul> |
240 |
</li> |
241 |
<li>Crash-free. At least I try, but rxvt-unicode certainly crashes much less often than |
242 |
rxvt and its many clones, and reproducible bugs get fixed immediately.</li> |
243 |
<li>Completely flicker-free.</li> |
244 |
<li>Re-wraps long lines instead of splitting or cutting them on resizes.</li> |
245 |
<li>Full combining character support (unlike xterm :).</li> |
246 |
<li>Multiple fonts supported at the same time: No need to choose between |
247 |
nice japanese and ugly latin, or no japanese and nice latin characters :).</li> |
248 |
<li>Supports Xft and core fonts in any combination.</li> |
249 |
<li>Can easily be embedded into other applications.</li> |
250 |
<li>All documentation accessible through manpages.</li> |
251 |
<li>Locale-independent XIM support.</li> |
252 |
<li>Many small improvements, such as improved and corrected terminfo, improved secondary screen modes, |
253 |
italic and bold font support, tinting and shading.</li> |
254 |
<li>Encapsulation of privileged operations in a separate process (improves security).</li> |
255 |
<li>Optimised for local <i>and</i> remote connections.</li> |
256 |
</ul> |
257 |
|
258 |
<br /> |
259 |
And its main <em>missing</em> features (which users request but are not (yet?) implemented) are: |
260 |
|
261 |
<ul> |
262 |
<li>Complex script support, such as arabic or tibetian - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li> |
263 |
<li>Right-to-Left rendering - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li> |
264 |
<li>IIIMF (Intranet/Internet Input Method Framework) support. (use scim)</li> |
265 |
</ul> |
266 |
|
267 |
<br /> |
268 |
|
269 |
There is an IRC channel for discussion on <a |
270 |
href='irc://irc.freenode.net/rxvt-unicode'><tt>irc.freenode.net |
271 |
#rxvt-unicode</tt></a>. |
272 |
|
273 |
libptytty dist list(rxvt-unicode) cvs-pod(doc/libptytty.3.pod) cvs-co(Changes) |
274 |
libptytty is an offspring of rxvt-unicode that handles pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling |
275 |
in mostly OS-independent ways, so it's less of a hassle for you :) |
276 |
|
277 |
Mailing list and contacts are the same as for rxvt-unicode, above. |
278 |
|
279 |
gtkbfc cvs-pod(README) |
280 |
Gtk+ bash file chooser replacement. |
281 |
|
282 |
<b>gtkbfc</b> is a hack that replaces the dreaded, slow and hard-to-use GTK+ |
283 |
file chooser by a rxvt-unicode window with a little script that lets you use |
284 |
readline tab-completion to enter filenames. |
285 |
|
286 |
Again, its a dire hack and will not work with all programs. It does work |
287 |
for gimp, firefox, gedit at least, though. |
288 |
|
289 |
CV cpan cvs-pod(bin/cv,) cvs-co(Changes) |
290 |
Gtk2::CV is a perl module that implements an image viewer. |
291 |
|
292 |
It comes with its own demo app, named <tt>cv</tt>, which is loosely |
293 |
modeled after the classic <tt>xv</tt>, although it displays images much |
294 |
faster than the great original. Stable releases are also found on CPAN. |
295 |
|
296 |
kgsueme cpan list(kgsueme) cvs-co(Changes) |
297 |
This perl module is about reverse engineering the |
298 |
<a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.html">protocol</a> |
299 |
(<a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.xml">xml source</a>) |
300 |
of the popular <a href="http://kgs.kiseido.com">Kiseido Go Server</a>. |
301 |
|
302 |
It features a sample Gtk+2 client (<a |
303 |
href="http://kgsueme.schmorp.de/screenshot.jpg">screenshot</a>), a gtp |
304 |
and a igs interface. It mostly focuses on documenting the protocol and |
305 |
delivering a stable reference implementation which makes it easy to write |
306 |
your own clients, bots and so on. It also contains Gtk2 modules for |
307 |
KGS-independent rendering of beautiful Go boards. For a introduction to |
308 |
the game of go, look <a href="http://playgo.to/interactive/">here</a>. |
309 |
|
310 |
Net-Knuddels cvs-pod(Net/Knuddels.pm,) |
311 |
This perl module provides an API for group communications using the |
312 |
<a href="http://www.knuddels.de/">www.knuddels.de</a> protocol. It is outdated |
313 |
and only provided as reference. |
314 |
|
315 |
This module implements the knuddels.de chat protocol. Since it was created |
316 |
the protocol changed in unknown ways, so this module no longer works. It is |
317 |
provided as reference, though, in case the protocol didn't change much, |
318 |
so one can learn about the protocol. |
319 |
It could be used to write Knuddels clients, bots and even servers |
320 |
(although the latter doesn't make much sense, the protocol is rather |
321 |
ugly. If you want to implement your own group communication server, use |
322 |
IRC instead). |
323 |
|
324 |
AnyEvent-IRC cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/IRC.pm,) git-co(Changes) git-co(samples/anyeventirccl) git-co(samples/anyeventirc) |
325 |
This module provides an alternative to the Net-IRC and Net-IRC2 |
326 |
modules. Its design rationale is offering a 100% non-blocking |
327 |
callback-based interface, RFC-compliant parsing and a lightweight |
328 |
approach to modularity and reusability. |
329 |
|
330 |
Net-IRC-Server cvs-pod(Net/IRC/Server.pm,) |
331 |
This module provides a simple API for handling the IRC Protocol |
332 |
aiming at implementing lightweight IRC-Servers. |
333 |
|
334 |
PApp-SQL cpan cvs-pod(SQL.pm,) |
335 |
Absolutely easy yet fast and powerful SQL access. |
336 |
|
337 |
This module wraps the DBI prepare/bind/execute calls into a single "sql_exec" call, |
338 |
complete with statement caching, so you get the efficiency of prepare, the safety |
339 |
of using placeholders and the speed of bound result values in a simple call. |
340 |
|
341 |
Example: |
342 |
|
343 |
<pre> |
344 |
my $st = sql_exec \my ($id, $name), |
345 |
"select id, name from db where name like %", |
346 |
"pfx%"; |
347 |
while ($st->fetch) { |
348 |
print "$id $name\n"; |
349 |
} |
350 |
</pre> |
351 |
|
352 |
libcoro cvs-co(README) cvs-co(coro.h) |
353 |
This C-library implements coroutines (cooperative multitasking) in a |
354 |
portable fashion. |
355 |
|
356 |
As long as your system implements the <tt>ucontext</tt> (Unix) or the |
357 |
older <tt>sigaltstack</tt> interfaces it should work out of the box, with |
358 |
minimal configuration (it consists of only a single <tt>.h</tt> and a |
359 |
single <tt>.c</tt> file). It is known to run on a wide variety of unix |
360 |
systems (SunOS, IRIX, GNU/Linux, HP-UX) and also on Windows, does not use |
361 |
any assembly language and is architecture-independent. |

Faster cpan cvs-pod(Faster.pm,) |
415 |
A perl module that makes perl run, well, faster, using a very primitive just in time compiler. |
416 |
|
417 |
As the name implies, using this module makes your perl program run |
418 |
faster. Actually, much slower initially, as it compiles every function |
419 |
to C and later to a shared object, but then you can expect a performance |
420 |
increase by 10-50%, depending on what your program does. |
421 |

AnyEvent cpan cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent.pm,) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Intro.pod,Introduction/Tutorial) cvs-co(Changes) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Util.pm,AnyEvent::Util) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Handle.pm,AnyEvent::Handle) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Socket.pm,AnyEvent::Socket) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/DNS.pm,AnyEvent::DNS) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/EV.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::EV) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Event.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Event) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Glib.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Glib) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Tk.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Tk) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Perl.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Perl) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Qt.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Qt) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/EventLib.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/POE.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::POE) |
449 |
This module offers a simple API for I/O, timer, signal, child process |
450 |
and completion events, independent of a specific event loop. |
451 |
|
452 |
<p>This module allows module authors to use those events internally without |
453 |
forcing users of the module to use a specific event loop, without adding |
454 |
noticable overhead. Currently supported event loops are EV, Event, |
455 |
Glib/Gtk2, Tk, Qt, Event::Lib and POE (and thus also WxWidgets and |
456 |
Prima). It contains a very fast (see benchmarks in the main manual page) |
457 |
Pure Perl event loop and doesn't rely on XS, which ensures that your |
458 |
program will always run even when no C-based event loop is available.</p> |
459 |
|
460 |
<p>In addition to the event core (which might be all you need), AnyEvent |
461 |
comes with an optional, fully asynchronous, pure-perl DNS resolver |
462 |
library supporting UDP, TCP and EDNS0, with many utility functions to |
463 |
"just resolve" stuff without having to instantiate even a resolver object |
464 |
(and including an equivalent of C<getaddrinfo>).</p> |
465 |
|
466 |
<p>The AnyEvent::Socket offers utility functions to make handling TCP |
467 |
connections (100% non-blocking, including DNS resolution, with both IPv4 |
468 |
and IPv6) and addresses as easy as possible, to the point of making IPv6 |
469 |
completely transparent.</p> |
470 |
|
471 |
<p>Lastly, AnyEvent::Handle offers a powerful framework for asynchronous and |
472 |
buffered protocol handling. You can push multiple read event handlers |
473 |
to parse your protocol and start TLS/SSL negotiation transparently (and |
474 |
fully non-blocking) at any time, in both server and client mode.</p> |
475 |
|
476 |
AnyEvent-FastPing cpan cvs-pod(FastPing.pm,) |
477 |
This module implements a very fast and relatively flexible |
478 |
ping (ping as in icmp echo request). |
479 |
|
480 |
This module allows you to quickly send ipv4 and ipv6 pings at a defined |
481 |
rate to whole address ranges. It is fully event-driven (doesn't block |
482 |
the perl interpreter) and can easily generate hundreds of thousands of |
483 |
pings per second. Target specification is done by specifying one or |
484 |
more address ranges, to which pings will be distributed according to a |
485 |
least-load principle. |
486 |
|
487 |
A command line utility (<tt>fastping</tt>) is included. |
488 |
|
489 |
AnyEvent-HTTP cpan cvs-pod(HTTP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) |
490 |
A simple and plain event based http and https client. |
491 |
|
492 |
This module implements a simple, stateless and non-blocking HTTP |
493 |
client. It supports GET, POST and other request methods, cookies and more, |
494 |
all on a very low level. It can follow redirects supports proxies and |
495 |
automatically limits the number of connections to the values specified in |
496 |
the RFC. |
497 |
|
498 |
It should generally be a "good client" that is enough for most HTTP |
499 |
tasks. Simple tasks should be simple, but complex tasks should still be |
500 |
possible as the user retains control over request and response headers. |
501 |
|
502 |
The caller is responsible for authentication management, cookies (if |
503 |
the simplistic implementation in this module doesn't suffice), referer |
504 |
and other high-level protocol details for which this module offers only |
505 |
limited support. |
506 |
|
507 |
AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) |
508 |
A relatively simple wrapper around DBI to make asynchronous |
509 |
SQL requests. |
510 |
|
511 |
This module implements asynchronous DBI access my forking or executing |
512 |
separate "DBI-Server" processes and sending them requests. |
513 |
|
514 |
It means that you can run DBI requests in parallel to other tasks. |
515 |
|
516 |
AnyEvent-HTTPD cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/HTTPD.pm,) git-co(Changes) |
517 |
A simple and plain event based http web application server Perl module. |
518 |
|
519 |
This is a very basic HTTP server that allows the user/programmer to install |
520 |
hooks for URL paths to generate the output. It uses AnyEvent to be easily |
521 |
embeddable into other applications. The main objective was to make it |
522 |
easier to make simple HTTP frontends in Perl for Perl programs and Perl modules. |
523 |
|
524 |
AnyEvent-IGS cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/IGS.pm,) git-co(Changes) |

531 |
A Perl module which allows editing any text via an editor in a seperate process. |
532 |
|
533 |
A utility Perl module that will start a terminal/editor for you and will |
534 |
wait non-blocking for you to finish editing that file. Very useful to embed |
535 |
content edititing in event based programs that have a AnyEvent compatible |
536 |
event loop. |
537 |
|
538 |

596 |
href="http://libev.schmorp.de/bench.html">see benchmark</a>) event loop that |
597 |
is loosely modelled after libevent, but without its limitations and bugs. It is |
598 |
used, among others, in the <a href="http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gvpe">GNU Virtual Private Ethernet</a> and |
599 |
<a href="http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html">rxvt-unicode</a> packages, and in |
600 |
the Deliantra MORPG Server and Client. |
601 |
|
602 |
Features include child/pid watchers, periodic timers based on |
603 |
wallclock (absolute) time (in addition to timers using relative |
604 |
timeouts), as well as epoll/kqueue/event ports/inotify (for file watchers) support, |
605 |
fast timer management, time jump detection and correction, and ease-of-use. |
606 |

|
619 |
<p>Libeio is a full-featured asynchronous I/O library |
620 |
for C, modelled in similar style and spirit as <a |
621 |
href="http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>. Features |
622 |
include: asynchronous read, write, open, close, stat, unlink, fdatasync, |
623 |
mknod, readdir etc. (basically the full POSIX API). sendfile (native on |
624 |
solaris, linux, hp-ux, freebsd, emulated everywehere else), readahead |
625 |
(emulated where not available).</p> |
626 |
|
627 |
<p>It is fully event-library agnostic and can easily be integrated into any |
628 |
event-library (or used standalone, even in polling mode). It is very |
629 |
portable and relies only on POSIX threads.</p> |
630 |
|
631 |
<p>Its code, documentation, integration and portability quality is |
632 |
currently below that of libev, but should soon be ready for use in |
633 |
production environments.</p> |

JSON-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) |
695 |
JSON::XS implements JSON (http://www.json.org) for Perl. Unlike other |
696 |
modules, its primary goal is to encode to syntactically correct JSON and |
697 |
flag invalid JSON while decoding. It ensures round-trip integrity of |
698 |
datatypes while being intuitive to use. Currently being the fastest of the |
699 |
JSON encoders available for Perl, it supports a variety of format options, |
700 |
such as single-line, ASCII-only or pretty-printed and can be tuned for |
701 |
speed or memory usage. It comes with a wealth of documentation describing |
702 |
usage and implementation details. |

fcrackzip cvs-co(fcrackzip.html) |
828 |
<b>fcrackzip</b> is a zip password cracker, similar to fzc, zipcrack and others. |
829 |
|
830 |
<h3>Why, the hell, another zip cracker?</h3> |
831 |
|
832 |
Naturally, programs are born out of an actual need. The situation with |
833 |
fcrackzip was no different... I'm not using zip very much, but recently |
834 |
I needed a password cracker. "Sure", I thought, "there are hundreds of |
835 |
them out there, I'll just gonna get one!". This wasn't so easy, in fact, |
836 |
none of the zipcrackers I found were able to find the passwords, either |
837 |
they didn't accept more than one zipfile, were awfully slow, or didn't do |
838 |
brute force attacks (which I needed). The worst thing was: no source!. |
839 |
|
840 |
<h3>Why is <i>no source</i> such a bad thing?</h3> |
841 |
|
842 |
[insert big chapter about the free software spirit here ;)], anyway |
843 |
people will never learn... You will find reasons why it's much better to |
844 |
provide source to your programs here, at opensource.org, and here, at the |
845 |
Free Software Foundation. Now, what are the features of fcrackzip? |
846 |
|
847 |
<ul><li> |
848 |
<p>FREE</p> |
849 |
|
850 |
<p>It doesn't cost anything, it will run on many architectures, and |
851 |
the source is freely available, so you can customise it to your |
852 |
needs. If you make improvements, don't hesitate to mail them to me, |
853 |
and I will include them in fcrackzip!</p> |
854 |
|
855 |
<p>One goal of fcrackzip was to provide a free but still fast |
856 |
zipcracker, so that other people can improve and contribute it |
857 |
further, in an open developement style.</p> |
858 |
|
859 |
<p>Other programs, like fzc, come not only without source, but the |
860 |
executable is even encrypted, so improving it or customizing it is |
861 |
difficult at best. (Maybe the programmers of other crackers don't |
862 |
want that people see how crappy their code actually is? Nobody |
863 |
knows for sure, but I see no other reason for this strange, but |
864 |
common, behaviour)</p> |
865 |
|
866 |
</li><li> |
867 |
<p>FAST</p> |
868 |
|
869 |
<p>On my old machine (a pentium-90), the portable C version is 12% |
870 |
slower than fzc, the fastest cracker I could find. Small parts of |
871 |
fcrackzip have been converted to x86 assembly, so it performs a bit |
872 |
faster (around 4%) than fzc now, on the same hardware (note: this |
873 |
is highly os/compiler dependent). Since the author of fzc claims |
874 |
that it is written fully in assembler, further improvements might |
875 |
well be possible. Incidently, on my new P-II machine, fcrackzip is |
876 |
almost twice as fast as fzc ;)</p> |
877 |
|
878 |
</li><li> |
879 |
<p>PORTABLE</p> |
880 |
|
881 |
<p>fcrackzip was written in ISO-C, and should run on most platforms, |
882 |
even 64 bit ones (maybe after some tweaking). I'll be glad to hear |
883 |
about portability problems so I can fix them.</p> |
884 |
|
885 |
</li><li> |
886 |
<p>FEATUREFUL</p> |
887 |
|
888 |
<p>fcrackzip will, at some later stage at least, support many more |
889 |
useful operation modes than other crackers. It already supports |
890 |
multiple zip files with multiple files. Remember that the code is |
891 |
only a few hours old!</p> |
892 |
|
893 |
<p>However, since version 0.2.0 fcrackzip also includes a mode to |
894 |
brute force cpmask'ed images, something no other program (that I |
895 |
know of) can do, so at least there is one feature other crackers |
896 |
don't have.</p> |
897 |
|
898 |
<p>And you can always implement your own modes.</p> |
899 |
|
900 |
</li></ul> |
901 |
|
902 |
<h3>Caveat, Imperator!</h3> |
903 |
|
904 |
<p>Naturally, there are also some drawbacks. At the moment, fcrackzip |
905 |
is a bit slower than necessary, and lacks some important (or nice) |
906 |
features, like automatic unzip-testing and others. On the other hand, |
907 |
fcrackzip-0.0.1 was hacked together in under ten hours, and you can |
908 |
always modify the source (and send me patches!!!) (I hope I've made it |
909 |
clear now ;)</p> |
