LiteBox
A security-focused library OS supporting kernel execution
LiteBox is a security-focused “library OS” sandboxing project that aims to shrink the interface between an application and its host environment to reduce attack surface. Instead of relying solely on broad OS-level permissions, it focuses on isolating workloads by tightly controlling the boundary where code interacts with host services and system resources. The design emphasizes interoperability across different integration layers, describing a separation between “North” shims (how apps or runtimes plug in) and “South” platforms (where the sandbox runs), which helps the system adapt to multiple deployment contexts. A key aspect of the project is that it targets both kernel-mode and user-mode scenarios, enabling experimentation with different trust and performance tradeoffs. The repository positions LiteBox as a foundation for building hardened execution environments where untrusted or semi-trusted components can run with reduced privileges and a minimized host interface. -

rust_cmd_lib
Common rust command-line macros and utilities
rust_cmd_lib is a Rust library designed to make it easier to write shell-script–style tasks in Rust, blending the power and safety of Rust with the expressiveness of shell pipelines. It provides macros and utilities that let you spawn external processes, redirect input/output, and pipe commands together, all without invoking a shell. You can write something like run_cmd!(ls -l | grep foo > out.txt) in a more declarative style, rather than manually wiring up file descriptors, handles, and child processes. The library also supports features like variable substitution, scoped environment settings, and defining custom commands (functions) that behave like built-ins. It hides much of the boilerplate of std::process::Command when you're doing simple task automations, but still allows full flexibility when needed. Because it avoids launching a shell, it reduces some classes of security and quoting errors, while improving readability of scripting logic inside a Rust binary. -

winit
Window handling library in pure Rust
Cross-platform window creation and management in Rust. Winit is a window creation and management library. It can create windows and lets you handle events (for example the window being resized, a key being pressed, a mouse movement, etc.) produced by the window. Winit is designed to be a low-level brick in a hierarchy of libraries. Consequently, in order to show something on the window you need to use the platform-specific getters provided by winit, or another library. -

Anyhow
Flexible concrete Error type built on std::error::Error
This is a Rust library (crate) that provides a flexible, concrete error type built atop the standard std::error::Error trait. Its primary goal is to make error handling in applications easy: instead of defining lots of custom error types, you can use anyhow::Error (or the alias anyhow::Result<T>) for fallible functions. The crate supports attaching context to errors, so you can convert a low-level error (like “file not found”) into one with richer diagnostics (“Failed to read instructions from path X”) using .context() or .with_context(). It supports downcasting (so you can inspect the underlying error type), and for recent versions of Rust, it will capture backtraces by default when the underlying error type doesn’t already. It also supports no_std mode (in limited form) by disabling default features. The README distinguishes it from library-oriented error crates (like thiserror): use anyhow when you just care about application-level error handling, not fine-grained types. -

CXX
Safe interop between Rust and C++
CXX is a library that offers safe interop between Rust and C++. It provides a safe mechanism for calling C++ code from Rust and vice versa, one that is protected from the many possible things that can go wrong when bindgen or cbindgen is used to generate unsafe C-style bindings. The general idea of CXX is to define the signatures of both sides of the FFI boundary embedded together in one Rust module. CXX gets a complete picture from this of the boundary, and through it is able to perform static analyses against the types and function signatures, ensuring that both Rust's and C++'s invariants and requirements are upheld. CXX then emits the relevant extern "C" signatures on both sides through a pair of code generators. This is done together with any necessary static assertions needed for later in the build process to verify correctness. The result is an FFI bridge that operates at zero or negligible overhead, with no copying, serialization or memory allocation needed. -

DCV Color Primitives
DCV Color Primitives Library
DCV Color Primitives is a library to perform image color model conversion. Aware of the underlying hardware and supplemental cpu extension sets (up to avx2). Support data coming from a single buffer or coming from multiple image planes. Support non-tightly packed data. Support images greater than 4GB (64 bit). Convert an image from bgra to nv12 (single plane) format containing yuv in BT601. You might want to propagate errors to the caller function or mix with some other error types. So far, buffers were sized taking into account the image pixel format and dimensions; However, you can use a function to compute how many bytes are needed to store an image of a given format and size. If your data is scattered in multiple buffers that are not necessarily contiguous, you can provide image planes. To take into account data which is not tightly packed, you can provide image strides. -
