* Package name : libdisorder Version : 0.0.2 Upstream Author : Michael E. Locasto * URL : https://github.com/locasto/libdisorder * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : library for entropy measurement of byte streams and other data libdisorder is a small, simple C library for use by programmers in other programs. There is a small test program included that opens /dev/urandom and calls libdisorder in the `test/' directory. There is also a command-line tool, `ropy' in the `tool/' directory for reporting on the entropy of normal files. . You will probably want to pipe the output of libdisorder to some other math analysis or graphing environment (e.g., gnuplot). . The library's primary function reports entropy in bits: essentially, this is the number of bits necessary to encode the actual level of information contained in the data passed to the library: it is the theoretical maximum amount of compression possible. Remark: The code of libdisorder appeared in two other targets of Debian Med and to avoid code duplication this library is packaged separately. It is maintained at https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-med/libdisorder.git
