    Termux application

    Termux application

    Terminal emulator application for Android OS extendible

    Termux is an Android terminal application and Linux environment. At first start a small base system is downloaded, desired packages can then be installed using the apt package manager known from the Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. Access the built-in help by long-pressing anywhere on the terminal and selecting the Help menu option to learn more. Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected. Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet. Allows an app to ask for permission to ignore battery optimizations for that app. This app can appear on top of other apps or other parts of the screen. This may interfere with normal app usage and change the way that other apps appear.

    SSHTOOLS

    SSHTOOLS

    Java SSH API

    This project now hosts the third-generation of Java SSH API, Maverick Synergy. This API builds on the Maverick Legacy commercial APIs and delivers a new API in a unified client/server framework. This API is available to the community under the LGPL open source license. This update includes ed25519 support, support for the new OpenSSH private key file format and stronger key exchange algorithms. The project continues to host both the original API and legacy applications created around it, however, these are now considered deprecated and we do not recommend their use in anyway.

    picocli

    picocli

    Framework for building GraalVM-enabled command line apps

    Picocli is a one-file framework for creating Java command-line applications with almost zero code. It supports a variety of command-line syntax styles including POSIX, GNU, MS-DOS and more. It generates highly customizable usage help messages that use ANSI colors and styles to contrast important elements and reduce the cognitive load on the user. Picocli-based applications can have command line TAB completion showing available options, option parameters, and subcommands, for any level of nested subcommands. Picocli-based applications can be ahead-of-time compiled to a GraalVM native image, with extremely fast startup time and lower memory requirements, which can be distributed as a single executable file. Picocli generates beautiful documentation for your application (HTML, PDF and Unix man pages). Another distinguishing feature of picocli is how it aims to let users run picocli-based applications without requiring picocli as an external dependency.

    Muon SSH Terminal/SFTP client

    Muon SSH Terminal/SFTP client

    Graphical SFTP client and terminal emulator with helpful utilities

    Easy and fun way to work with remote servers over SSH. This project is being renamed as previous name "Snowflake" is confusing since there is already a popular product with the same name. Muon is a graphical SSH client. It has an enhanced SFTP file browser, SSH terminal emulator, remote resource/process manager, server disk space analyzer, remote text editor, huge remote log viewer, and lots of other helpful tools, which makes it easy to work with remote servers. Muon provides functionality similar to web-based control panels but, it works over SSH from the local computer, hence no installation is required on the server. It runs on Linux and Windows. Muon has been tested with several Linux and UNIX servers, like Ubuntu server, CentOS, RHEL, OpenSUSE, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and HP-UX. The application is targeted mainly towards web/backend developers who often deploy/debug their code on remote servers and not overly fond of complex terminal-based commands.

    Kryo

    Kryo

    Java binary serialization and cloning, fast, efficient, automatic

    Kryo is a fast and efficient binary object graph serialization framework for Java. The goals of the project are high speed, low size, and an easy-to-use API. The project is useful any time objects need to be persisted, whether to a file, database or over the network. Kryo can also perform automatic deep and shallow copying/cloning. This is direct copying from object to object, not object to bytes to object. Kryo has three sets of methods for reading and writing objects. If the concrete class of the object is not known and the object could be null. Besides methods to read and write objects, the Kryo class provides a way to register serializers, reads and writes class identifiers efficiently, handles null objects for serializers that can't accept nulls, and handles reading and writing object references (if enabled). This allows serializers to focus on their serialization tasks.

    Apache Avro

    Apache Avro

    Apache Avro is a data serialization system

    Apache Avro™ is a data serialization system. Simple integration with dynamic languages. Code generation is not required to read or write data files nor to use or implement RPC protocols. Code generation is an optional optimization, is only worth implementing for statically typed languages. Avro relies on schemas. When Avro data is read, the schema used when writing it is always present. This permits each datum to be written with no per-value overheads, making serialization both fast and small. This also facilitates use with dynamic, scripting languages, since data, together with its schema, is fully self-describing. When Avro data is stored in a file, its schema is stored with it, so that files may be processed later by any program. If the program reading the data expects a different schema this can be easily resolved, since both schemas are present.
