-odr - Open Data Representation. This module implements the BER
- encoding rules. Documentation is found in the files odr-use.man
- and odr.txt.
-
-asn - This module implements the Z39.50/SR protocol. The best way
- to find out how it works is to look in the sample
- client/server code in server/seshigh.c or yazlib/tst.c. The
- interface is still wholly described by the file proto.h
- which defines structure and type definitions for each of the
- types introduced in the protocol specification.
-
-yazlib - This module primarily implements the transport transparency
- stack (COMSTACK). The comstack implements a generic interface
- for exchanging BER-encoded records over a network. It supports
- the American mode of exchanging the records straight over
- TCP/IP, and uses Peter Furniss' XTIMOSI package over RFC1006.
- Look for documentation in the file comstack.man.
-
-rfc1006 - Xtimosi requires an implementation of the OSI transport
- with an XTI-based API. Some systems (HP and DEC, notably)
- provide this. For others, we provide an implementation of the
- RFC1006 protocol (which is what ISODE-based implementations
- typically use). This module is not neeeded if you don't use
- xtimosi.
-
-server - This is the implementation of the server frontend. It
- provides event-handling and server managament functions,
- and calls the backend primitives (best documentation of these
- is in the file include/backend.h). See server.txt.
-
-include - The various header files.
-
-makelib - This is a simple utility that gathers the libraries from the
- previous modules into libyaz.a.
-
-lib - The libraries. Primarily libyaz.a.
