en: AfterStep(Description)
en: The AfterStep window manager combines convenient, useful features 
    with the attractive look of the NEXTSTEP(R) interface. NEXTSTEP(R)-style 
    features include the the title bar, title buttons, borders, icons and

    windows and graphics requests for Xnest, while Xnest manages the
    windows and graphics requests for its own clients.
    
    You will need to install Xnest if you require an X server which
    will run as a client of your real X server (perhaps for testing
    purposes).

en: XFree86-Xvfb(Description)
en: Xvfb (X Virtual Frame Buffer) is an X server that is able to run on
    machines with no display hardware and no physical input devices.
    Xvfb emulates a dumb framebuffer using virtual memory.  Xvfb doesn't
    open any devices, but behaves otherwise as an X display.  Xvfb is
    normally used for testing servers.  Using Xvfb, the mfb or cfb code
    for any depth can be exercised without using real hardware that
    supports the desired depths.  Xvfb has also been used to test X clients
    against unusual depths and screen configurations, to do batch
    processing with Xvfb as a background rendering engine, to do load
    testing, to help with porting an X server to a new platform, and to
    provide an unobtrusive way of running applications which really don't
    need an X server but insist on having one. 
    
    If you need to test your X server or your X clients, you may want to
    install Xvfb for that purpose.

    description for an LALR(1) context-free grammar into a C program to parse
    that grammar.  Bison can be used to develop a wide range of language
    parsers, from ones used in simple desk calculators to complex programming
    languages.  Bison is upwardly compatible with Yacc, so any correctly
    written Yacc grammar should work with Bison without any changes.  If
    you know Yacc, you shouldn't have any trouble using Bison. You do need
    to be very proficient in C programming to be able to use Bison).  Bison 
    is only needed on systems that are used for development.

    provides the information needed by diskless clients in order for them
    to successfully boot.  Bootparamd looks first in /etc/bootparams for an
    entry for that particular client; if a local bootparams file doesn't
    exist, it looks at the appropriate Network Information Service (NIS)
    map.  Some network boot loaders (notably Sun's) rely on special boot
    server code on the server, in addition to the RARP and TFTP servers.
    This bootparamd server process is compatible with SunOS bootparam clients
    and servers which need that boot server code.

    permissions.  The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic
    tape, or a pipe.  GNU cpio supports the following archive formats:  binary,
    old ASCII, new ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar and POSIX.1
    tar.  By default, cpio creates binary format archives, so that they are
    compatible with older cpio programs.  When it is extracting files from
    archives, cpio automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading
    and can read archives created on machines with a different byte-order.

en: cpp(Description)
en: Cpp (or cccp) is the GNU C-Compatible Compiler Preprocessor.
    Cpp is a macro processor which is used automatically
    by the C compiler to transform your program before actual
    compilation. It is called a macro processor because it allows
    you to define macros, abbreviations for longer
    constructs.
    
    The C preprocessor provides four separate functionalities: the
    inclusion of header files (files of declarations that can be
    substituted into your program); macro expansion (you can define macros,
    and the C preprocessor will replace the macros with their definitions
    throughout the program); conditional compilation (using special
    preprocessing directives, you can include or exclude parts of the
    program according to various conditions); and line control (if you use
    a program to combine or rearrange source files into an intermediate
    file which is then compiled, you can use line control to inform the
    compiler about where each source line originated).
    
    You should install this package if you are a C programmer and you use
    macros.

    old style and the ANSI C style.  This conversion will overwrite the
    original files, however, so be sure to make a backup copy of your
    original files in case something goes wrong.  Cproto uses a Yacc
    generated parser, so it shouldn't be confused by complex function
    definitions as much as other prototype generators.
    
    Cproto will be useful for C programmers, so install cproto if you are

en: cracklib(Description)
en: CrackLib tests passwords to determine whether they match certain
    security-oriented characteristics. You can use CrackLib to stop users
    from choosing passwords which would be easy to guess. CrackLib
    performs certain tests: it tries to generate words from a username
    and gecos entry and checks those words against the password; it checks
    for simplistic patterns in passwords; and it checks for the password
    in a dictionary.
    
    CrackLib is actually a library containing a particular C function
    which is used to check the password, as well as other C
    functions. Note that CrackLib is NOT a replacement for a passwd
    program; it must be used in conjunction with an existing passwd
    program.
    
    Install the cracklib package if you need a program to check users'
    passwords to see if they are at least minimally secure. If you
    install CrackLib, you'll also want to install the cracklib-dicts

en: ctags(Description)
en: Ctags generates an index (or tag) file of C language objects found in
    C source and header files.  The index makes it easy for text editors or
    other utilities to locate the indexed items.  Ctags can also generate a
    cross reference file which lists information about the various objects
    found in a set of C language files in human readable form.  Exuberant
    Ctags improves on ctags because it can find all types of C language tags,
    including macro definitions, enumerated values (values inside enum{...}),
    function and method definitions, enum/struct/union tags, external
    function prototypes, typedef names and variable declarations.  Exuberant
    Ctags is far less likely to be fooled by code containing #if preprocessor
    conditional constructs than ctags.  Exuberant ctags supports output of
    Emacs style TAGS files and can be used to print out a list of selected
    objects found in source files.

en: cvs(Description)
en: CVS (Concurrent Version System) is a version control system which can
    record the history of your files (usually, but not always, source
    code). CVS only stores the differences between versions, instead of
    every version of every file you've ever created. CVS also keeps a log
    of who, when and why changes occurred.
    
    CVS is very helpful for managing releases and controlling the
    concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. Instead of
    providing version control for a collection of files in a single
    directory, CVS provides version control for a hierarchical collection
    of directories consisting of revision controlled files.  These
    directories and files can then be combined together to form a software
    release.

en: glxMesa(Description)
en: glxMesa is an implementation of the Mesa 3-D library and GLX.  GLX was
    developed by SGI to integrate OpenGL with X11. Then the Mesa 3-D
    library can perform its 3-D rendering functions within the X server's
    process, rather than within the X client program.  Since the rendered
    image does not have to be moved from the X client program to the X
    server (only the commands required to render the image are sent),
    you'll potentially see improved performance. 3-D hardware acceleration
    is then much more practical (and fast).  This package includes an
    accelerated driver for Matrox G200 and G400-based cards.
    
    The Mesa 3-D graphics library is a powerful and generic toolset for
    creating hardware assisted computer graphics.  To the extent that Mesa
    utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or state machine, it is being used
    with authorization from Silicon Graphics, Inc.  However, the author
    (Brian Paul) makes no claim that Mesa is in any way a compatible
    replacement for OpenGL or associated with Silicon Graphics, Inc. Those
    who want a licensed implementation of OpenGL should contact a licensed
    vendor.  However, Mesa is very similar to OpenGL, and you might find
    Mesa to be a valid alternative to OpenGL.

en: irda-utils(Description)
en: IrDA(TM) (Infrared Data Association) is an industry standard for
    wireless, infrared communication between devices. IrDA speeds range
    from 9600 bps to 4 Mbps, and IrDA can be used by many modern devices
    including laptops, LAN adapters, PDAs, printers, and mobile phones.
    
    The Linux-IrDA project is a GPL'd implementation, written from
    scratch, of the IrDA protocols. Supported IrDA protocols include
    IrLAP, IrLMP, IrIAP, IrTTP, IrLPT, IrLAN, IrCOMM and IrOBEX.
    
    The irda-utils package contains a collection of programs that enable
    the use of IrDA protocols. Most IrDA features are implemented in the
    kernel, so IrDA support must be enabled in the kernel before any IrDA
    tools or programs can be used. Some configuration outside the kernel
    is required, however, and some IrDA features, like IrOBEX, are
    actually implemented outside the kernel.

en: isapnptools(Description)
en: The isapnptools package contains utilities for configuring ISA
    Plug-and-Play (PnP) cards which are in compliance with the PnP ISA
    Specification Version 1.0a.  ISA PnP cards use registers instead of
    jumpers for setting the board address and interrupt assignments.  The
    cards also contain descriptions of the resources which need to be
    allocated.  The BIOS on your system, or isapnptools, uses a protocol
    described in the specification to find all of the PnP boards and
    allocate the resources so that none of them conflict.
    
    Note that the BIOS doesn't do a very good job of allocating resources.
    So isapnptools is suitable for all systems, whether or not they
    include a PnP BIOS. In fact, a PnP BIOS adds some complications.  A
    PnP BIOS may already activate some cards so that the drivers can find
    them.  Then these tools can unconfigure them or change their settings,
    causing all sorts of nasty effects. If you have PnP network cards that
    already work, you should read through the documentation files very
    carefully before you use isapnptools.
    
    Install isapnptools if you need utilities for configuring ISA PnP
    cards.

en: itcl(Description)
en: [incr Tcl] is an object-oriented extension of the Tcl language and was
    created to support more structured programming in Tcl.  Tcl scripts
    longer than a few thousand lines become extremely difficult to
    maintain because the building blocks of vanilla Tcl are procedures and
    global variables. All of these building blocks must reside in a single
    global namespace and there is no support for protection or
    encapsulation.
    
    To help out with this problem, [incr Tcl] introduces the notion of
    objects.  Each object is a bag of data with a set of procedures or
    "methods" that are used to manipulate it.  Objects are organized into
    "classes" with identical characteristics, and classes can inherit
    functionality from one another.  This object-oriented paradigm adds
    another level of organization on top of the basic variable/procedure
    elements, and the resulting code is easier to understand and
    maintain.
    
    Install itcl if you're programming with Tcl, and you need the
    object-oriented functionality that [incr Tcl] can provide.

en: mkinitrd(Description)
en: Mkinitrd creates filesystem images for use as initial ramdisk (initrd)
    images.  These ramdisk images are often used to preload the block
    device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root filesystem.
    
    In other words, generic kernels can be built without drivers for any
    SCSI adapters which load the SCSI driver as a module.  Since the
    kernel needs to read those modules, but in this case it isn't able to
    address the SCSI adapter, an initial ramdisk is used.  The initial
    ramdisk is loaded by the operating system loader (normally LILO) and
    is available to the kernel as soon as the ramdisk is loaded.  The
    ramdisk image loads the proper SCSI adapter and allows the kernel to
    mount the root filesystem.  The mkinitrd program creates such a
    ramdisk using information found in the /etc/conf.modules file.

en: rxvt(Description)
en: Rxvt is a color VT102 terminal emulator for the X Window System.  Rxvt
    is intended to be an xterm replacement for users who don't need the
    more esoteric features of xterm, like Tektronix 4014 emulation,
    session logging and toolkit style configurability.  Since it doesn't
    support those features, rxvt uses much less swap space than xterm
    uses.  This is a significant advantage on a machine which is serving a
    large number of X sessions.
    
    The rxvt package should be installed on any machine which serves a
    large number of X sessions, if you'd like to improve that machine's
    performance.

    command line editing, built-in spelling correction, programmable
    command completion, shell functions (with autoloading), a history
    mechanism and more.
