Libmcrypt is a data encryption library. The library is thread safe
and provides encryption and decryption functions. This version of the
library supports many encryption algorithms and encryption modes.
Supported algorithms include SERPENT, RIJNDAEL, 3DES, GOST, SAFER+,
CAST-256, RC2, XTEA, 3WAY, TWOFISH, BLOWFISH, ARC. FOUR, and WAKE.

libpcap is a library used by packet sniffer programs. It provides an
interface for them to capture and analyze packets from network devices.
This package is only needed if you plan to compile or write such a
program yourself.

A library for reading and writing Quicktime movie files, based on and
forked from quicktime4linux.

The XML C library was initially developed for the GNOME project. It is
now used by many programs to load and save extensible data structures
or manipulate any kind of XML files.

This library implements a number of existing standards related to
markup languages, including the XML standard, name spaces in XML, XML
Base, RFC 2396, XPath, XPointer, HTML4, XInclude, SGML catalogs, and
XML catalogs. In most cases, libxml tries to implement the
specification in a rather strict way. To some extent, it provides
support for the following specifications, but does not claim to
implement them: DOM, FTP client, HTTP client, and SAX.

The library also supports RelaxNG. Support for W3C XML Schemas is in
progress.

The libxml2-python package contains a module that permits applications
written in the Python programming language to use the interface
supplied by the libxml2 library to manipulate XML files.

This library allows manipulation of XML files. It includes support for
reading, modifying, and writing XML and HTML files. There is DTD
support that includes parsing and validation even with complex DTDs,
either at parse time or later once the document has been modified.

This C library allows you to transform XML files into other XML files
(or HTML, text, and more) using the standard XSLT stylesheet
transformation mechanism.

It is based on libxml (version 2) for XML parsing, tree manipulation,
and XPath support. It is written in plain C, making as few assumptions
as possible and sticks closely to ANSI C/POSIX for easy embedding.
Although not primarily designed with performance in mind, libxslt seems
to be a relatively fast processor. It also includes full support for
the EXSLT set of extension functions as well as some common extensions
present in other XSLT engines.

The package comes with xsltproc, a command line interface to the XSLT
engine.

The libxslt-python package contains a module that permits applications
written in the Python programming language to use the interface
supplied by the libxslt library to apply XSLT transformations.

This library allows parsing stylesheets. It uses the libxml2-python to
load and save XML and HTML files. Direct access to XPath and the XSLT
transformation context are possible. Thus it is possible to extend the
XSLT language with XPath functions written in Python.

The logrotate utility is designed to simplify the administration of log
files on a system that generates a lot of log files. Logrotate allows
the automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing of log files.
Logrotate can be set to handle a log file daily, weekly, monthly, or
when the log file reaches a certain size. Normally, logrotate runs as a
daily cron job.

Lsof lists information about files opened by processes. An open file
may be a regular file, a directory, a block special file, a character
special file, an executing text reference, a library, a stream, or a
network file (Internet socket, NFS file, or UNIX domain socket.) A
specific file or all the files in a file system may be selected by
path.

This package contains the MAKEDEV script, which makes it easy to create
and maintain the files in the /dev directory.

You do not need this script on SUSE Linux, but it is needed for FHS
2.1.

A replacement for the old unix crypt(1) command. Mcrypt uses the
following encryption (block) algorithms: BLOWFISH, DES, TripleDES,
3-WAY, SAFER-SK64, SAFER-SK128, CAST-128, RC2 TEA (extended), TWOFISH,
RC6, IDEA, and GOST. The Unix crypt algorithm is also included to allow
compatibility with the crypt(1) command. CBC, ECB, OFB, and CFB modes
of encryption are supported.

The mjpegtools allow for capture, playback, processing, and simple
editing of MJPEG AV data. The hardware I/O applications are intended
for use with Zoran MJPEG framegrabber-based hardware (see the
zoran-driver package), but the processing tools can be used with MJPEG
data from other sources as well.

Mtr is a network diagnostic tool that combines Ping and Traceroute into
one program. This package contains the mtr version with an ncurses
interface, in other words, the text mode version is usable in a shell
(telnet or SSH session, for example).

Find the graphical version in the mtr-gtk package.

GNU Parted is a program for creating, destroying, resizing, checking,
and copying partitions, and the file systems on them.

This is a collection of simple PIN or passphrase entry dialogs which
utilize the Assuan protocol as described by the Aegypten project.

Pinfo is a curses based, Lynx-style info browser.

The Persistence of Vision Ray tracer creates three-dimensional,
photo-realistic images using a rendering technique called ray tracing.
It reads in a text file containing information describing the objects
and lighting in a scene and generates an image of that scene from the
view point of a camera also described in the text file. Ray tracing is
not a fast process by any means, (the generation of a complex image can
take several hours) but it produces very high quality images with
realistic reflections, shading, perspective, and other effects.

Pth is a very portable POSIX/ANSI-C based library for Unix platforms
which provides non-preemptive priority-based scheduling for multiple
threads of execution ("multithreading") inside server applications. All
threads run in the same address space of the server application, but
each thread has it's own individual program-counter, run-time stack,
signal mask and errno variable.

Remind is a sophisticated calendar and alarm program.
It includes the following features:

* A sophisticated scripting language and intelligent
handling of exceptions and holidays.
* Plain-text, PostScript and HTML output.
* Timed reminders and pop-up alarms.
* A friendly graphical front-end for people who don't
want to learn the scripting language.
* Facilities for both the Gregorian and Hebrew calendars.
* Support for 12 different languages.

rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for
bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the
differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both
sets of files be present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. At
first glance, this may seem impossible because the calculation of diffs
between two files normally requires local access to both files.

A technical report describing the rsync algorithm is included with this
package.

The purpose of this package is to provide a CIM Client Class Library
for Java applications. It complies to the DMTF standard CIM Operations
over HTTP and intends to be compatible with JCP JSR48 once it becomes
available. To learn more about DMTF visit http://www.dmtf.org. More
infos about the Java Community Process and JSR48 can be found at
http://www.jcp.org and http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=48.
