Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2004-06-22 Severity: wishlist * Package name : libparapin Version : 0.95 Upstream Author : Jeremy Elson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.circlemud.org/~jelson/software/parapin/ * License : GPL Description : Library that allows control of individual pins of parallel port.
Parapin makes it easy to write C code under Linux that controls individual pins on a PC parallel port. This kind of control is very useful for electronics projects that use the PC's parallel port as a generic digital I/O interface. Parapin goes to great lengths to insulate the programmer from the somewhat complex parallel port programming interface provided by the PC hardware, making it easy to use the parallel port for digital I/O. By the same token, this abstraction also makes Parapin less useful in applications that need to actually use the parallel port as a parallel port (e.g., for talking to a printer). Parapin can be used in two ways - as user-space C library, of linked as part of Linux kernel module. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux home.homenet.ru 2.6.1 #7 Sat Jun 19 17:53:49 MSD 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=ru, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R
