This daemon allows (Samba) hosts to be found by Web Service Discovery Clients. It also implements the client side of the discovery protocol which searches for devices implementing WSD.

cifs-utils is a set of user-space utilities for mounting and managing CIFS shares using the Linux kernel CIFS client.

Some projects, such as a file server, need privilege separation to be able to switch to the user who owns the files and do file operations on their behalf. This package convincingly lies to the application, letting it believe it is operating as root and even switching between UIDs and GIDs as needed. You can start any application making it believe it is running as root. This package provides the following features :

• Allows uid switching as a normal user.

• Start any application making it believe it is running as root.

• Support for user/group changing in the local thread using the syscalls (like glibc).

• Intercepts seteuid and related calls and simulates them in a way transparent to the application.

Talloc is a hierarchical, reference counted memory pool system with destructors. It is the core memory allocator used in Samba.

There are projects that need to be able to create, modify, and delete Unix users. Others just switch user IDs to interact with the system on behalf of another user (e.g. a user space file server). To be able to test applications like these, one needs to grant privileges to modify the passwd and group files. With this package it is possible to define your own passwd and group files to be used the software while it is under test. It also allows you to create a hosts file to set up name resolution for the addresses you use with socket_wrapper. It provides the following features:

• Provides information for user and group accounts.

• Network name resolution using a hosts file.

• Loading and testing of NSS modules.

Tevent is an event system based on the talloc memory management library. It is the core event system used in Samba. The low level tevent has support for many event types, including timers, signals, and the classic file descriptor events.

Ldb is a LDAP-like embedded database built on top of TDB. What ldb does is provide a fast database with an LDAP-like API designed to be used within an application. In some ways it can be seen as a intermediate solution between key-value pair databases and a real LDAP database.

The iniParser C library reads and writes Windows-style .ini configuration files. These are simple text files with a basic structure composed of sections, properties, and values. While not expressive, they are easy to read, write, and modify.

The library is small, thread safe, and written in portable ANSI C with no external dependencies.

This package makes it possible on most UNIX platforms to contact your own DNS implementation in your test environment. It requires socket_wrapper to be able to contact the server. Alternatively, the wrapper is able to fake DNS queries and return valid responses to your application. It provides the following features:

• Redirects name queries to the nameservers specified in your resolv.conf.

• Can fake DNS queries using a simple formatted DNS hosts file.

Since 1992, Samba has provided secure, stable and fast file and print services for all clients using the SMB/CIFS protocol, such as all versions of DOS and Windows, OS/2, GNU/Linux and many others.

Samba is an important component to seamlessly integrate Linux/Unix Servers and Desktops into Active Directory environments using the winbind daemon.

This SANE backend lets you scan documents and images from scanners and multi-function printers that speak eSCL (marketed as ``AirScan'') or WSD (or ``WS-Scan'').

Both are vendor-neutral protocols that allow ``driverless'' scanning over IPv4 and IPv6 networks without the vendor-specific drivers that make up most of the sane-backends collection. This is similar to how most contemporary printers speak the universal IPP.

Only scanners that support eSCL will also work over USB. This requires a suitable IPP-over-USB daemon like ipp-usb to be installed and configured.

Any eSCL or WSD-capable scanner should just work. sane-airscan automatically discovers and configures devices, including which protocol to use. It was successfully tested with many devices from Brother, Canon, Dell, Kyocera, Lexmark, Epson, HP, OKI, Panasonic, Pantum, Ricoh, Samsung, and Xerox, with both WSD and eSCL.

Scanbd stands for scanner button daemon. It regularly polls scanners for pressed buttons, function knob changes, or other events such as (un)plugging the scanner or inserting and removing paper. Then it performs the desired action(s) such as saving, copying, or e-mailing the image.

Actions can be fully customized through scripts, based on any combination of switch or knob settings. Events are also signaled over D-Bus and scans can even be triggered over D-Bus from foreign applications.

Scanbd talks to scanners through the SANE back-end library. This means that it supports almost all existing scanners, provided the driver also exposes the buttons.

Utsushi is a set of applications for image scanning with support for a number of EPSON scanners, including a compatibility driver to interface with software built around the SANE standard.

To enable auto-rotation functionality, install the tesseract-ocr and tesseract-ocr-tessdata-fast packages.

SANE stands for "Scanner Access Now Easy" and is an API proving access to any raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner, hand-held scanner, video- and still-cameras, frame-grabbers, etc.). The package contains the library, but no drivers.

XSane is a graphical interface for controlling a scanner and acquiring images from it. You can photocopy multi-page documents and save, fax, print, or e-mail your scanned images. It is highly configurable and exposes all device settings, letting you fine-tune the final result. It can also be used as a GIMP plugin to acquire images directly from a scanner.

XSane talks to scanners through the SANE back-end library, which supports almost all existing scanners.

Gambit consists of two main programs: gsi, the Gambit Scheme interpreter, and gsc, the Gambit Scheme compiler. The interpreter contains the complete execution and debugging environment. The compiler is the interpreter extended with the capability of generating executable files. The compiler can produce standalone executables or compiled modules which can be loaded at run time. Interpreted code and compiled code can be freely mixed.

Gauche is a R7RS Scheme scripting engine aiming at being a handy tool that helps programmers and system administrators to write small to large scripts quickly. Quick startup, built-in system interface, native multilingual support are some of the goals. Gauche comes with a package manager/installer gauche-package which can download, compile, install and list gauche extension packages.

Gerbil mode provides font-lock, indentation, navigation, and REPL for Gerbil code within Emacs.

Bigloo is a Scheme implementation devoted to one goal: enabling Scheme based programming style where C(++) is usually required. Bigloo attempts to make Scheme practical by offering features usually presented by traditional programming languages but not offered by Scheme and functional programming. Bigloo compiles Scheme modules. It delivers small and fast stand alone binary executables. Bigloo enables full connections between Scheme and C programs and between Scheme and Java programs.

Loko Scheme is intended to be a platform for application and operating system development. It is written purely in Scheme and some assembler (i.e. no C code at the bottom). Both the R6RS and the R7RS standards are supported.

Ypsilon Scheme is an R7RS/R6RS Scheme implementation with on-the-fly FFI and native stub code generation, making use of the LLVM.

Owl Lisp is a simple programming language. It is intended to provide a portable system for writing standalone programs in a subjectively pleasant dialect of Lisp. It has a minimal core and runtime, purely functional operation, and support for asynchronous evaluation.

String pattern-matching library for scheme48 based on the SRE regular-expression notation.
