Open Source Tcl File Systems

Please note that OWFS source code, and all Issue/Tickets/merge requests have now been moved to https://github.com/owfs/owfs/. Developer mailing lists will still be kept at Sourceforge. ---- OWFS -- 1-Wire file system. Use the Dallas 1-Wire and iButton chips with standard filesystem commands. Create temperature loggers. Monitor everything. OWHTTPD -- same system, only used as a light weight web server. OWFS is also ported to embedded routers, Mac OSX and Windows. Basically you can use these inexpensive little sensors and other chips with very simple wiring to sense and control the physical environment. The interface is very flexible -- everything from a web browser, to read and writing directly to the chip's "file" to integrating with your programs -- even over the internet. There is a growing number of 1-wire sensors: temperature, voltage, humidity, light, ultraviolet, pressure, thermisters, thermocouples, programmable microcontrollers, relays, lights, LCD panels, etc

The Pawn will make it possibly for you to tell the computer exactly what you would like it to do. Fiction. No its reality now. The highly customizable slackware will be the base for Pawn.

The TclVfs project aims to provide an extension to the Tcl language which allows Virtual Filesystems to be built using Tcl scripts only. It is also a repository of such Tcl-implemented filesystems (metakit, zip, ftp, tar, http, webdav, namespace, url)

PRATIMA, an Asynchronous Remote Volume Replicator for Linux: Pratima performs online, real-time, reliable and efficient block level data replication to a remote computer over a network in both synchronous and asynchronous modes for Linux.

The Linux kernel (since 2.6.13) provides a mechanism to listen for events that happen on files and directories, without needing to poll for updates. This Tcl extension implements a wrapper to allow Tcl programs to access this facility.

OpenTMS is a full-function tape management system, similar to the tape management functionality long supported on mainframe computers. It provides commands and an API for storing and retrieving files / data objects to tape volumes in a tape library.

A Tcl interface to the linux kernel's Inotify service. It provides a Tcl package that enables Tcl scripts to monitor the file system changes at a file and directory level. A proc is executed asynchronously to notify for changes.

Some Linux filesystems support storing additional meta data called extended attributes against files, directories and links. This Tcl extension wraps the syscall interface to allow Tcl programs to manipulate the extended attributes.
