All the components you mentioned, owfs, owhttpd and owserver have the same
basic functionality because they all link in the same chunk of code (libow)
that does most of the work.
The only real difference is how you interact. For display and quick
testing, the web interface is very easy, owhttpd.
For interacting from scripts or the command line, either owserver/owshell
or the filesystem and cat/ls/echo is best.
If you want to use 1-wire in a program you're writing, you can either use
the filesystem and your normal read/write methods, or use a purpose-built
module for that language.
If you need more that one of these at the same time, there are only 2 ways
to share the physical 1-wire devices: the filesystem, or owserver. Also
owserver is useful if you want to use data on remote machines.
