Name        : libguac

Release     : 1.fc17

Summary     : The common library used by all C components of Guacamole
Description :
Guacamole is an HTML5 web application that provides access to desktop
environments using remote desktop protocols such as VNC or RDP. A centralized
server acts as a tunnel and proxy, allowing access to multiple desktops through
a web browser. No plugins are needed: the client requires nothing more than a
web browser supporting HTML5 and AJAX.

libguac is the core library for guacd (the Guacamole proxy) and any protocol
support plugins for guacd. libguac provides efficient buffered I/O of text and
base64 data, as well as somewhat abstracted functions for sending Guacamole
instructions.
