SuperLU is an algorithm that uses group theory to optimize LU
decomposition of sparse matrices. It's the fastest direct solver for
linear systems that the author is aware of.
Docu can be found on http://www.netlib.org.
T1lib is a library for generating character and string glyphs from
Adobe Type 1 fonts under UNIX. T1lib uses most of the code of the X
Window System rasterizer donated by IBM to the X Window System project.
Some disadvantages of the rasterizer included in the X Window System
have been eliminated.
TagLib is a library for reading and editing the meta-data of several popular
audio formats. Currently it supports both ID3v1 and ID3v2 for MP3 files, Ogg
Vorbis comments and ID3 tags and Vorbis comments in FLAC, MPC, Speex, WavPack
TrueAudio, WAV, AIFF, MP4 and ASF files.
The tmpwatch utility recursively searches through specified directories
and removes files which have not been accessed in a specified period of
time. tmpwatch is normally used to clean up directories which are used
for temporarily holding files (for example, /tmp)..
There are multiple tools called "tmpwatch", this package contains the
Fedora/Redhat version available at https://fedorahosted.org/tmpwatch
Vsftpd is an FTP server, or daemon. The "vs" stands for Very Secure.
Obviously this is not a guarantee, but the entire codebase was written
with security in mind, and carefully designed to be resilient to
attack.
Recent evidence suggests that vsftpd is also extremely fast (and this
is before any explicit performance tuning!). In tests against wu-ftpd,
vsftpd was always faster, supporting over twice as many users in some
tests.
ftp://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc1950.txt (zlib format), rfc1951.txt
(deflate format) and rfc1952.txt (gzip format). These documents are
also available in other formats from
ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/documents/zlib/zdoc-index.html.
Asio is a cross-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O
programming that provides developers with a consistent asynchronous I/O
model using a modern C++ approach.
This program allows you to run jobs at specified times.
BIABAM is a small tool, useful when you want to mail attachments from
the command line. It has similarities to mailing attachments from the
commandline with Mutt, but it only depends on bash and uuencode.
Common C++ is a GNU package which offers portable "abstraction" of
system services such as threads, networks, and sockets. Common C++
also offers individual frameworks generally useful to developing
portable C++ applications including a object persistance engine, math
libraries, threading, sockets, etc. Common C++ is small, and highly
portable. Common C++ will support most Unix operating systems as well
as Win32, in addition to GNU/Linux.
The Common UNIX Printing System provides a portable printing layer for
UNIX operating systems like BSD lp or lprng. CUPS provides some
additional features.

DirectFB is a thin library that provides hardware graphics
acceleration, input device handling and abstraction, an integrated
windowing system with support for translucent windows, and multiple
display layers on top of the Linux framebuffer device. It is a complete
hardware abstraction layer with software fallbacks for every graphics
operation that is not supported by the underlying hardware. DirectFB
adds graphical power to embedded systems and sets a new standard for
graphics under Linux.
dotconf is a simple-to-use and powerful configuration-file parser
library written in C. The configuration files created for dotconf look
very similar to those used by the Apache Webserver. Even
Container-Directives known from httpd.conf can easily be used in the
exact same manner as for Apache-Modules. It supports various types of
arguments, dynamically loadable modules that create their own
configuration options on-the-fly, a here-documents feature to pass very
long ARG_STR data to your app, and on-the-fly inclusion of additional
config files.
Freeglut is a completely open source alternative to the OpenGL Utility
Toolkit (GLUT) library. GLUT was originally written by Mark Kilgard to
support the sample programs in the second edition OpenGL Redbook. Since
then, GLUT has been used in a wide variety of practical applications
because it is simple, universally available, and highly portable.
GLUT (and freeglut) allow the user to create and manage windows
containing OpenGL contexts and also read the mouse, keyboard, and
joystick functions on a wide range of platforms.
Gd allows your code to quickly draw images complete with lines, arcs,
text, and multiple colors. It supports cut and paste from other images
and flood fills. It outputs PNG, JPEG, and WBMP (for wireless devices)
and is supported by PHP4.
The gperftools package contains some utilities to improve and analyze the performance of C++ programs. This includes an optimized thread-caching malloc() and cpu and heap profiling utilities.
Formerly the google-perftools package.
The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a collection of routines for
numerical computing. The routines are written from scratch by the GSL
team in ANSI C and present a modern Applications Programming Interface
(API) for C programmers, while allowing wrappers to be written for very
high level languages.
The library covers the following areas:
Complex Numbers Roots of Polynomials Special Functions
Vectors and Matrices Permutations Sorting BLAS Support
Linear Algebra Eigensystems Fast Fourier Transforms
Quadrature Random Numbers Quasi-Random Sequences Random
Distributions Statistics Histograms N-Tuples
Monte Carlo Integration Simulated Annealing Differential
Equations Interpolation Numerical Differentiation Chebyshev
Series Acceleration Approximation Discrete Hankel
Root-Finding Minimization Transforms Least-Squares Fitting
Physical Constants IEEE Floating-Point
hping is a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer.
The interface is inspired to the ping(8) unix command, but hping
isn't only able to send ICMP echo requests. It supports TCP, UDP,
ICMP and RAW-IP protocols, has a traceroute mode, the ability to
send files between a covered channel, and many other features.
This package was branched from devel:libraries:c_c++ in order to ... update to 1.0.2
The iODBC Driver Manager is a free implementation of the SAG CLI and
ODBC compliant driver manager which allows developers to write ODBC
compliant applications that can connect to various databases using
appropriate backend drivers.
JSON-C implements a reference counting object model that allows you to
easily construct JSON objects in C, output them as JSON formatted
strings and parse JSON formatted strings back into the C
representation of JSON objects.
Libbraille is a computer shared library which makes it possible to
easily develop for Braille displays. It provides a simple API to
write text on the display, directly draw dots, or get the value of
keys pressed on the Braille keyboard.
c-ares is a C library that performs DNS requests and name resolves
asynchronously. c-ares is a fork of the library named 'ares', written
by Greg Hudson at MIT.
