Description : A library to abstract stream I/O like serial port, TCP, telnet, UDP, SSL, IPMI SOL
This library (pronounced gen'-see-oh) is a framework for giving a
consistent view of various stream (and packet) I/O types. You create a
gensio object (or a gensio), and you can use that gensio without having
to know too much about what is going on underneath. You can stack
gensio on top of another one to add protocol funcionality. For
instance, you can create a TCP gensio, stack SSL on top of that, and
stack Telnet on top of that. It supports a number of network I/O and
serial ports.
Gensio can be used for sending and receiving ports, and it also
supports establishing encrypted and authenticated connections.
The package is needed as a dependency of the current version of ser2net,
the serial port to network proxy. I plan to maintain it myself, I am a
DD, will accept co-maintainers and have the repository hosted on Salsa
in https://salsa.debian.org/debian/gensio
