Sed takes text input, performs one or more operations on it, and
outputs the modified text. Sed is typically used for extracting parts
of a file using pattern matching or for substituting multiple
occurrences of a string within a file.
SILC Toolkit is a software development toolkit which provides full SILC
protocol implementation for application developers. The SILC Toolkit
provides SILC Client Library, SILC Protocol Core Library, SILC Key
Exchange Library, SILC Crypto Library, SILC Math Library, SILC Utility
Library, as well as other libraries. The SILC Toolkit also includes a
full reference manual and developer guide with examples and tutorials.
SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a protocol which provides
secure conferencing services on the Internet over insecure channels.
SILC is similar to IRC, as they both provide conferencing services and
almost have the same commands. However, they differ internally: unlike
IRC, SILC is secure and has an entirely different compared to IRC.
SMARTmontools controls and monitors storage devices using the
Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.)
built into ATA, SATA and SCSI Hard Drives. This is used to check the
hard drive reliability and to predict drive failures. The suite
contains two utilities. The first, smartctl, is a command line utility
designed to perform simple S.M.A.R.T. tasks. The second, smartd, is a
daemon that periodically monitors the smart status and reports errors
to syslog. The package is compatible with the ATA/ATAPI-3 to -7
specification. The package is intended to incorporate as much "vendor
specific" and "reserved" information as possible about disk drives. The
commands man smartctl and man smartd will provide more information.

VIGRA stands for "Vision with Generic Algorithms". It is a novel
computer vision library that puts its main emphasis on customizable
algorithms and data structures. By using template techniques similar to
those in the C++ Standard Template Library, you can easily adapt any
VIGRA component to the needs of your application, without giving up
execution speed.
WavPack is a completely open audio compression format providing
lossless, high-quality lossy, and unique hybrid compression modes.
Although the technology is loosely based on previous versions of
WavPack, the new version 4 format has been designed from the ground up
to offer unparalleled performance and functionality.
By default, lossless mode WavPack acts just like a WinZip compressor
for audio files. However, unlike MP3 or WMA encoding which can affect
the sound quality, not a single bit of the original information is
lost, so there is no chance of degradation. This makes lossless mode
ideal for archiving audio material or any other situation where quality
is paramount. The compression ratio depends on the source material, but
generally is between 30% and 70%.
The hybrid mode provides all the advantages of lossless compression
with an additional bonus. Instead of creating a single file, this mode
creates both, a relatively small, high-quality lossy file that can be
used all by itself, and a "correction" file that (when combined with
the lossy file) provides full lossless restoration. For some users this
means never having to choose between lossless and lossy compression!
wxWidgets is a free C++ library for cross-platform GUI.
With wxWidgets, you can create applications for different GUIs (GTK+,
Motif, MS Windows, MacOS X, Windows CE, GPE) from the same source code.

The xlock utility locks your X Window System session and runs a screen
saver until a password is entered.
The xscreensaver program waits until the keyboard and mouse have been
idle for a period of time, and then runs a graphics demo chosen at
random. It turns off as soon as there is any mouse or keyboard
activity. It can also lock the screen immediately, after a longer idle
period, or on demand.
The xscreensaver package consists of two parts: the screensaver and the
"driver" or "daemon", which detects idleness and does locking, and the
many graphics demos that are launched by xscreensaver.
Any X program that can draw on the root window can be used with
xscreensaver, regardless of how that program is written, what language
it is written in, or what libraries it uses. The xscreensaver daemon
takes care of detecting when the user is idle, locking, and checking
passwords and all the other book-keeping. All the other programs need
to do is draw.
The benefit that xscreensaver has over the combination of the xlock and
xautolock programs is the ease with which new graphic hacks can be
installed. You do not need to recompile (or even re-run) the
xscreensaver program to add a new display mode, you just change a
config file.
Controls and monitors the status of an APC UPS under Linux. Allows your
computer or server to run for a specified length of time on UPS power
then executes a controlled shutdown in the case of an extended power
failure. Find APC on the Internet at http://www.apc.com/.
APC also made their PowerChute plus available for download at
http://www.apc.com/tools/download/.
This audio file library is an implementation of the SGI audio file
library. At present, not all features of the SGI audio file library are
implemented.
This library allows the processing of audio data to and from audio
files of many common formats (currently AIFF, AIFC, WAVE, and
NeXT/Sun).
AutoTrace is a program for converting bitmaps to vector graphics. The
aim of the AutoTrace project is the development of a freely-available
application similar to CorelTrace or Adobe Streamline. In some aspects,
it is already better. Originally created as a plug-in for the GIMP,
AutoTrace is now a stand-alone program and can be compiled on any UNIX
platform using GCC.

This package contains the file /etc/SuSE-brand, and its name is used as
a trigger for installation of look and feel and branding of packages as
it was defined by upstream developers.
WARNING: If you decide to install this package instead of the default
branding package, you will lose vendor customization of your
distribution.
This library encapsulates CD-ROM reading and control. Applications
wanting to be oblivious to the OS and device-dependent properties of a
CD-ROM can use this library.
The CELT codec is an experimental audio codec for use in low-delay
speech and audio communication.
This package provides directories and rpm macros that are required/used to store color management data for many applications.
Linux Driver support for the CoolKey and CAC products. CoolKeys are
part of a complete PKI solution that provides smart card login, single
sign-on, secure messaging, and secure email access. In the complete
solution, users are issued CoolKeys by their employer, ISP, bank, or
other parties. When the user plugs the keys in for the first time, the
keys are automatically provisioned with certificates, keys, and a PIN,
unique for that user by the Red Hat Certificate System. Once the
CoolKey is provisioned, the user can take the key to any system and use
it to login (authenticate), send and receive signed and encrypted
email, or participate in secure messaging or IRC communication. Using a
CoolKey should be as easy as starting a car. To accomplish that vision,
we are focusing on building complete support for CoolKey on exactly one
token. As the system is built out, we can add token support. CoolKeys
are based on JavaCard 1.2. We are testing with Axalto Egate Cyberflex
cards, which are available in both smart card and USB Fob form factors.

Dirac is an open source video codec. It uses a traditional hybrid video
codec architecture, but with the wavelet transform instead of the usual
block transforms. Motion compensation uses overlapped blocks to reduce
block artefacts that would upset the transform coding stage.
Dirac can code just about any size of video, from streaming up to HD
and beyond, although certain presets are defined for different
applications and standards. These cover the parameters that need to be
set for the encoder to work, such as block sizes and temporal
prediction structures, which must otherwise be set by hand.
Dirac is intended to develop into real coding and decoding software,
capable of plugging into video processing applications and media
players that need compression. It is intended to develop into a simple
set of reliable but effective coding tools that work over a wide
variety of content and formats, using well-understood compression
techniques, in a clear and accessible software structure. It is not
intended as a demonstration or reference coder.
