This actually allows us to re-introduce the ldd utility as a symlink to
our dynamic loader, so now ldd behaves exactly like on Linux - it will
load all dynamic dependencies for an ELF exectuable.
This has the advantage that running ldd on an ELF executable will
provide an exact preview of how the order in which the dynamic loader
loads the executable and its dependencies.
As a preparation to introducing ldd as a symlink to /usr/lib/Loader.so
we rename the ldd utility to be elfdeps, at its sole purpose is to list
ELF object dependencies, and not how the dynamic loader loads them.
Now both /bin/zcat and /bin/gunzip are symlinks to /bin/gzip, and we
essentially running it in decompression mode through these symlinks.
This ensures we don't maintain 2 versions of code to decompress Gzipped
data anymore, and handle the use case of gzipped-streaming input only
once in the codebase.
The high-level design is that we have a static method on WebPWriter that
returns an AnimationWriter object. AnimationWriter has a virtual method
for writing individual frames. This allows streaming animations to disk,
without having to buffer up the entire animation in memory first.
The semantics of this function, add_frame(), are that data is flushed
to disk every time the function is called, so that no explicit `close()`
method is needed.
For some formats that store animation length at the start of the file,
including WebP, this means that this needs to write to a SeekableStream,
so that add_frame() can seek to the start and update the size when a
frame is written.
This design should work for GIF and APNG writing as well. We can move
AnimationWriter to a new header if we add writers for these.
Currently, `animation` can read any animated image format we can read
(apng, gif, webp) and convert it to an animated webp file.
The written animated webp file is not compressed whatsoever, so this
creates large output files at the moment.
This URL library ends up being a relatively fundamental base library of
the system, as LibCore depends on LibURL.
This change has two main benefits:
* Moving AK back more towards being an agnostic library that can
be used between the kernel and userspace. URL has never really fit
that description - and is not used in the kernel.
* URL _should_ depend on LibUnicode, as it needs punnycode support.
However, it's not really possible to do this inside of AK as it can't
depend on any external library. This change brings us a little closer
to being able to do that, but unfortunately we aren't there quite
yet, as the code generators depend on LibCore.
This adds a basic `mkfs.fat` utility, which can format FAT12, FAT16
and FAT32 partitions.
This does have a few limitations, namely in that FAT12 formatting is
limited to a set known floppy disk sizes, and we can only generate
512-byte sectors.
Previously, we would remove the "longest extension" from each file name
when parsing it as the name of a utility, which made it impossible for
the names of utilities to contain any extensions.
This creates a bitmap filled with a fixed color, then (in memory)
saves it as jpeg and loads it again, and repeats that until the
color of the bitmap no longer changes. It then reports how many
iterations that took, and what the final color was.
It does this for a couple of colors.
This is for quality assessment of the jpeg codec. Ideally, it should
converge quickly (in one iteration), and on a color not very far from
the original input color.
This patch brings a service to handle image decompression. With it comes
security enhancement due to the process boundary. Indeed, consequences
of a potential attack is reduced as only the decoder will crash without
perturbing the WebContent process.
It also allows us to display pages containing images that we claim to
support but still make us crash, like for not-finished-yet decoders.
As an example, we can now load https://jpegxl.info/jxl-art.html without
crashing the WebContent process.
This utility is actually a symlink to the gunzip utility.
The gunzip utility is modified to enable writing to stdout when running
through the zcat symlink, to emulate the same behavior on other OSes.
In addition to that, the gunzip utility is now required on a default
installation as it could be a vital utility under some conditions (for
example, downloading source code in a tar.gz file).
Currently, the `isobmff` utility will only print the media file type
info from the FileTypeBox (major brand and compatible brands), as well
as the names and sizes of top-level boxes.
This is still very bare bones, and there is _much_ more to still
handle. However, this implements enough functionality to parse a single
unified patch read from stdin, and apply it to a file.
Using the cross-page links, we can generate a directed graph showing the
topology of which pages refer to other pages. This is not just for fun:
the links show how often a page is linked (since links are not
deduplicated on purpose), which pairs of pages only have links in one
direction (where a link in the other direction may be useful), which
groups of closely-interlinked pages exist, and which pages have few or
no links to other pages.
The EXTRA_MARKDOWN_CHECK_ARGS argument to the check-markdown script can
be used to inject the -g flag for generating the graph on all manpages.
This utility will learn tricks such as extracting images from PDFs and
dumping tables from PDFs so that we can create code from specs.
It also allows testing LibPDF things in lagom, and allows testing
reading large amounts of PDFs using a shell script.
The intention for this utility is to eventually become a general-purpose
multimedia conversion tool like ffmpeg (except probably not with as many
supported formats, stream mappings and filters). For now, we can not
write any video format so the added complexity is not necessary at the
moment.
This will make it a lot easier to understand what went wrong, especially
when the failure occurs on CI but not at home.
And of course, use LibDiff to generate the diff! :^)
This little program allows us to take the NetworkSettings app away
from being an elevated GUI app.
It receives a JsonObject on STDIN and writes it to the global
Network configuration file.
If the write was successfull it will apply the changes.
