acpid is a daemon that dispatches ACPI events to user-space programs.
adcli is a tool for joining an Active Directory domain using standard LDAP and Kerberos calls.
adns is a resolver library for C (and C++) programs. In contrast with the existing interfaces, gethostbyname et al and libresolv, it has the following features: - It is reasonably easy to use for simple programs which just want to translate names to addresses, look up MX records, etc. - It can be used in an asynchronous, non-blocking, manner. Many queries can be handled simultaneously. - Responses are decoded automatically into a natural representation for a C program - there is no need to deal with DNS packet formats. - Sanity checking (eg, name syntax checking, reverse/forward correspondence, CNAME pointing to CNAME) is performed automatically. - Time-to-live, CNAME and other similar information is returned in an easy-to-use form, without getting in the way. - There is no global state in the library; resolver state is an opaque data structure which the client creates explicitly. A program can have several instances of the resolver. - Errors are reported to the application in a way that distinguishes the various causes of failure properly. - Understands conventional resolv.conf, but this can overridden by environment variables. - Flexibility. For example, the application can tell adns to: ignore environment variables (for setuid programs), disable sanity checks eg to return arbitrary data, override or ignore resolv.conf in favour of supplied configuration, etc. - Believed to be correct ! For example, will correctly back off to TCP in case of long replies or queries, or to other nameservers if several are available. It has sensible handling of bad responses etc.
CMap (Character Map) resources are used to unidirectionally map character codes, such as Unicode encoding form, to CIDs (Character IDs -- meaning glyphs) of a CIDFont resource. These CMap resources are useful for some applications (e.g. Ghostscript) to correctly display text containing Japanese, (Traditional) Chinese, or Korean characters.
This sub-package contains currently deprecated CMap resources that some applications might still require to function properly.
Mapping resources for PDF have a variety of functions, such as mapping CIDs (Character IDs) to character codes, or mapping character codes to other character codes. These mapping resources for PDF should not be confused with CMap resources. While both types of resources share the same file structure and syntax, they have very different functions. These PDF mapping resources are useful for some applications (e.g. Ghostscript) to function properly.
This font was designed by Paul D. Hunt as a companion to Source Sans. It has the same weight range as the corresponding Source Sans design. It supports a wide range of languages using the Latin script, and includes all the characters in the Adobe Latin 4 glyph set.
