File organisation:
doc Documentation.
-util Various little utility functions. Logging, memory debugging,
- primitive ISO 2709 presentation for the yaz-client, etc. You'll
- find the ASN.1 Compiler for YAZ here as well (yaz-comp).
-
-odr Open Data Representation. This module implements the BER
- encoding rules.
-
-z39.50 codecs for the Z39.50 protocol. This module does the same job
- as the old 'asn' module except that the source files are
- auto-generated using an YAZ' ASN.1 Compiler (yaz-comp).
-
-zutil This module implements a collection of Z39.50 utilities, such
- as query parsing, etc.
+src Source for the YAZ library.
-ill codesc for the ISO ILL protocol.
-
-comstack This module 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.
-
-zoom An implementation of Mike Taylors Z39.50 Object Oriented
- Model : ZOOM. If you'd like to build Z39.50 client applications
- in C this may be good start. You'll find example programs in
- this directory too.
-
-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/yaz/backend.h).
+util Utility programs, ASN.1 compiler, MARC dump utility, and others.
client A demonstration client for testing the protocol. It's bug'n
ugly. But, it supports many features.
ztest A demonstration server that implements a backend.
-include/yaz The various header files.
+etc Various configuration files.
-lib The libraries. Primarily libyaz.la. The makefile gathers the
- libraries from previous modules into libyaz.la.
+include/yaz The various header files.
