This is the libstriezel repository (formerly knowns as libthoro). It contains code that is shared (or potentially shared) between multiple projects by thoronador (hence the name). All code is in C++, some classes use low-level C libraries, but encapsulate them. Let's shove the dirt under the carpet, right where it belongs.

Most code is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3 as published by the Free Software Foundation. A few individual files might use other non-copyleft licenses, e.g. the MIT/X11 license. These files will have an appropriate notice attached. However, any of those licenses should be compatible with the GPL v3.

Here is a short overview over the contents of the various directories. If you want details about the classes, just look into the source code. Most of it is documented well enough to understand it from the documentation alone.

• archive/7z/ - classes to read 7-Zip archives
• archive/ar/ - classes to read Ar archives
• archive/cab/ - classes to read Microsoft Cabinet archives
• archive/gzip/ - classes to uncompress GZIP files
• archive/iso9660/ - classes to read ISO 9660 disk images
• archive/rar/ - classes to read Roschal archives (limited support only, due to the proprietary format of those archives)
• archive/tar/ - classes to read tape archives (*.tar)
• archive/xz/ - classes to read XZ archives
• archive/zip/ - classes to read ZIP archives
• ci/ - contains script(s) for continuous integration
• cmake/ - files for the CMake build systems
• common/ - code to do some "common" tasks
• common/graphics/ - functions + classes to read various image formats (e.g. bitmap, JPEG, PNG, binary PPM) and prepare them for use as OpenGL textures
• common/gui/ - incomplete GUI attempt based on GLUT
• encoding/ - functions to convert strings between different encodings
• filesystem/ - filesystem-related functions for directories and files
• hash/ - classes that implement several hash algorithms from the "Secure Hash Algorithm" standard as described in FIPS PUB 180-1 and FIPS PUB 180-2; namely SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512
• iso9660/ - classes to read ISO 9660 disk images
• os/ - class to detect the operating system (main focus on Linux)
• procfs/ - functions that use the /proc file system from Linux
• tests/ - test cases for various classes (but unfortunately not all classes are covered yet)
• zlib/ - wrappers for compression and decompression with zlib
