Overview
This repository holds the files of the Okteta project. This project is about viewing and editing of data on the byte level.
It is divided into three parts, the first two are for developing and the last one for users:
- basic libraries offering Qt-based classes for viewing/editing bytearrays
- Okteta elements for the Kasten framework
- program Okteta and Okteta KPart
The basic libraries, liboktetacore and liboktetagui, contain the classic simple Qt/KF widgets/classes others want to reuse in their code by linking to these libraries. Additionally there is a Qt Designer plugin for the two Okteta widgets from liboktetagui. This part is spread over the subdirs core/, gui/, and designer/.
The Okteta elements for the Kasten framework are specific Okteta classes for building programs and plugins with the Kasten framework. The elements are divided into the libraries liboktetakastencore, liboktetakastengui, and liboktetakastencontroller, all found in the subdir kasten/. The foundation of the framework Kasten itself is currently found within the Okteta sources, in the subdirectory libs/kasten/.
The end-user products are the stand-alone program also named Okteta and a KPart useable e.g. for Konqueror. These are in the subdirs program/and parts/.
What to find in which subdirectory
core/: core library for Qt-based bytearray viewer/editor widgets, liboktetacore
gui/: gui library for QWidget-based bytearray viewer/editor widgets, liboktetagui
designer/: plugin for Qt Designer to add support for widgets from the Okteta gui library
kasten/: Okteta elements for the Kasten framework (currently found in libs/kasten)
parts/: collection of plugins based on the Okteta libraries
parts/kpart/: plugin of the type KPart::ReadWritePart, with BrowserExtension
program/: a standalone hex editor program, based on the Kasten framework
libs/: neutral utility libs and frameworks, useful outside Okteta, e.g. Kasten
