Exploring and Testing the Toolchain and System Libraries

Helper functions that interface with the system utilities to learn about the local build environment. Lets you explore 'make' rules to test the local configuration, or query 'pkg-config' to find compiler flags and libs needed for building packages with external dependencies. Also contains tools to analyze which libraries that a installed R package linked to by inspecting output from 'ldd' in combination with information from your distribution package manager, e.g. 'rpm' or 'dpkg'.

R Interface to the 'Protocol Buffers' 'API' (Version 2 or 3)

Protocol Buffers are a way of encoding structured data in an efficient yet extensible format. Google uses Protocol Buffers for almost all of its internal 'RPC' protocols and file formats. Additional documentation is available in two included vignettes one of which corresponds to our 'JSS' paper (2016, . A sufficiently recent version of 'Protocol Buffers' library is required; currently version 3.3.0 from 2017 is the stated minimum.

A Clean, Whitespace-Sensitive Template Language for Writing HTML

Jade is a high performance template engine heavily influenced by Haml and implemented with JavaScript for node and browsers.

Toolkit for Encryption, Signatures and Certificates Based on OpenSSL

Bindings to OpenSSL libssl and libcrypto, plus custom SSH key parsers. Supports RSA, DSA and EC curves P-256, P-384, P-521, and curve25519. Cryptographic signatures can either be created and verified manually or via x509 certificates. AES can be used in cbc, ctr or gcm mode for symmetric encryption; RSA for asymmetric (public key) encryption or EC for Diffie Hellman. High-level envelope functions combine RSA and AES for encrypting arbitrary sized data. Other utilities include key generators, hash functions (md5, sha1, sha256, etc), base64 encoder, a secure random number generator, and 'bignum' math methods for manually performing crypto calculations on large multibyte integers.

'Blowfish' Key Derivation and Password Hashing

Bindings to the 'blowfish' password hashing algorithm < https://www.openbsd.org/papers/bcrypt-paper.pdf> derived from the 'OpenBSD' implementation.

HTTP and WebSocket Server Library

Provides low-level socket and protocol support for handling HTTP and WebSocket requests directly from within R. It is primarily intended as a building block for other packages, rather than making it particularly easy to create complete web applications using httpuv alone. httpuv is built on top of the libuv and http-parser C libraries, both of which were developed by Joyent, Inc. (See LICENSE file for libuv and http-parser license information.)

Extract Text from Rich Text Format (RTF) Documents

Wraps the 'unrtf' utility < https://www.gnu.org/software/unrtf/> to extract text from RTF files. Supports document conversion to HTML, LaTeX or plain text. Output in HTML is recommended because 'unrtf' has limited support for converting between character encodings.

Authenticate as a 'GitHub' App

'GitHub' apps provide a powerful way to manage fine grained programmatic access to specific 'git' repositories, without having to create dummy users, and which are safer than a personal access token for automated tasks. This package extends the 'gh' package to let you authenticate and interact with 'GitHub' < https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview> in 'R' as an app.

Minimal and Uncluttered Package Documentation

Generates simple and beautiful one-page HTML reference manuals with package documentation. Math rendering and syntax highlighting are done server-side in R such that no JavaScript libraries are needed in the browser, which makes the documentation portable and fast to load.

Text Extraction, Rendering and Converting of PDF Documents

Utilities based on 'libpoppler' < https://poppler.freedesktop.org> for extracting text, fonts, attachments and metadata from a PDF file. Also supports high quality rendering of PDF documents into PNG, JPEG, TIFF format, or into raw bitmap vectors for further processing in R.
