Summary : Unix I/O functionality for GAP

License : GPLv3+
Description : This GAP package provides a link to the standard UNIX I/O functionality
: that is available through the C library. This part basically consists
: of functions on the GAP level that allow functions in the C library to
: be called.
:
: Built on top of this is a layer for buffered input/output which is
: implemented completely in the GAP language. It is intended to be used
: by programs for which it is not necessary to have full direct access to
: the operating system.
:
: On this level, quite a few convenience functions are implemented for
: interprocess communication like starting up pipelines of processes to
: filter data through them and to start up processes and then communicate
: with them. There is also support for creating network connections over
: TCP/IP and UDP.
:
: Building on this, the package contains an implementation of the client
: side of the HTTP protocol making it possible among other things to
: access web pages from within GAP.
:
: Another part of the package is a framework for object serialization.
: That is, GAP objects can be converted into a platform-independent byte
: sequence which can be stored to a file or sent over the network. The
: code takes complete care of arbitrarily self-referential data structures
: like lists containing themselves as an entry. The resulting byte
: strings can be read back into GAP and the original objects are rebuilt
: with exactly the same self-references. This works for most of the
: standard builtin types of GAP like numbers, permutations, polynomials,
: lists, and records and can be extended to nearly arbitrary GAP objects.
