python-sendfile

Python interface to sendfile(2)

Python library which provides a "zero-copy" way of copying data from one file descriptor to another (a socket). The phrase "zero-copy" refers to the fact that all of the copying of data between the two descriptors is done entirely by the kernel, with no copying of data into userspace buffers. This is particularly useful when sending a file over a socket (e.g. FTP).

scheme9

Scheme 9 from Empty Space R4RS Scheme interpreter

Scheme 9 from Empty Space is an interpreter for a broad subset of R4RS Scheme, and runs in many popular environments, including Linux, *BSD, the unmentionable horror, and Plan 9. The S9fES code strives to be simple and comprehensible. It is particularly interesting to people who want to (a) try Scheme without having to jump through too many hoops (S9fES is very portable); or (b) study the implementation of Scheme (in a language other than Scheme). A free online textbook describing the system is also available.

libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl

module to find differences between files (XS accelerated)

Algorithm::Diff::XS is a Perl diff utility module based on Joe Schaefer's excellent but not very well-known Algorithm::LCS module, with a drop-in interface identical to Algorithm::Diff.

root-system-rootd

ROOT remote file server

dhcp-probe

network DHCP or BootP server discover

dhcp_probe attempts to discover DHCP and BootP servers on a directly-attached Ethernet network. A network administrator can use this tool to locate un- authorized DHCP and BootP servers. Essentially, dhcp_probe mimics a BootP or DHCP client in a variety of possible states, attempting to provoke responses from servers.
