Libdar Bindings / News: Recent posts

The Python bindings for libdar are developed using swig. The Python binding, called dar-python, is mostly feature complete and is well documented using pydocs.

Unlike libdarc, dar-python is developed as a patch against the DAR Suite sources. The current version, 0.1, targets DAR Suite 2.4.0_dev in CVS. The patch should also work with DAR Suite 2.3.0.

The most recent release is dar-python 0.1. It is available as both a source tarball and a patch on the project site.

As part of a new project to create alternate language wrappers for the libdar library, a new C# binding has been drafted. While implementation has not commenced, if you would be interested in using such a binding your comments would be appreciated during this early stage.

Libdarc is a C language binding for Libdar, the C++ dar archive library by Denis Corbin. Version 0.2 is an update to the first beta release. It is closer to feature completion. The libdrc xml writing functions are complete with the exception of the mask elements. The Infinint boxing and unboxing functions are complete with the exception of hexadecimal string parsing. The API and ABI are expected to remain fairly stable to the 1.0 release.... read more

Libdarc is a C language binding for Libdar, the C++ dar archive library by Denis Corbin. Version 0.1 is the first public beta release. The library is complete with the exception of libdrc xml writing functions, which cannot be implemented before upstream improvements in Libdar. The API and ABI are expected to remain stable to the 1.0 release.

Libdarc 0.1 is compatible with Libdar 3.0.0, distributed with DAR 2.2.0.
