Bug#795896: ITP: pd-hexloader -- enable Pure Data with funny characters
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: IOhannes m zmoelnig <umlaeute@debian.org>
* Package name : pd-hexloader
Version : 1.6
Upstream Author : IOhannes m zmölnig <zmoelnig@iem.at>

Programming Lang: C, Pd
Description : enable Pure Data objects with funny characters
Pd's default external objects loader maps object names to filenames and
C-function names.
Unfortunately both filenames and C-function names have restrictions (like the
impossibility to include a '/').
.
This library adds an escaping mechanism based on hexadecimal encoding that
allows to write and use objects that would otherwise be impossible.
I intend to maintain this package under the pkg-multimedia umbrella.
