Open Source C++ Command Line Tools for Linux

DB Browser for SQLite (DB4S) is a high quality, visual, open source tool to create, design, and edit database files compatible with SQLite. DB4S is for users and developers who want to create, search, and edit databases. DB4S uses a familiar spreadsheet-like interface, and complicated SQL commands do not have to be learned. This program is not a visual shell for the sqlite command line tool, and does not require familiarity with SQL commands. It is a tool to be used by both developers and end users, and must remain as simple to use as possible in order to achieve these goals. Import and export records as text, import and export tables from/to CSV files, import and export databases from/to SQL dump files, issue SQL queries and inspect the results, examine a log of all SQL commands issued by the application, plot simple graphs based on table or query data.

PDF4QT is open source PDF editor based on Qt framework. It contains a C++ library, applications for viewing/editing PDF documents, and a command line tool. PDF4QT is an open-source PDF editor for Windows/Linux. It is a modern solution for viewing/editing/rendering PDF documents, for users and developers alike. For developers, there is a C++ library and a command line tool for use in scripts. For users, there are four applications offering many features. The project is hosted on Github and uses the license LGPLv3. The applications are primarily used by target users to view, edit, manipulate or compare PDF documents. Users can preview these applications in the screenshots section of this webpage. Basic browsing and lots of other functionalities, such as encryption, reading a document, verification of digital signatures, editing of annotations, searching for text using regular expressions, drawing pages into an image, and much more. Several plug-ins are available.

For more information, see http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pcb2gcode/

FractalNow provides users with tools to generate pictures of various types of fractals quickly and easily. It is made of both a command line tool, FractalNow, and a graphical tool, QFractalNow. The graphical tool, based on Qt library, allows users to explore fractals intuitively and generate pictures. Both tools are entirely multi-threaded and implement advanced algorithms and heuristics that make computation very fast compared to most existing free fractal generators.

Filament is a real-time physically-based renderer written in C++. It is mobile-first, but also multi-platform. We are very conscientious about keeping Filament small, fast to load, and focused on rendering. For example, Filament does not compile materials at run time. Instead, we provide a command line tool (matc) that does this offline. Filament is a physically based rendering (PBR) engine for Android. The goal of Filament is to offer a set of tools and APIs for Android developers that will enable them to create high quality 2D and 3D rendering with ease. For both artists and developers, our system will rely on as few parameters as possible to reduce trial and error and allow users to quickly master the material model. A physically based approach must not preclude non-realistic rendering. User interfaces for instance will need unlit materials. Our primary goal is to design and implement a rendering system able to perform efficiently on mobile platforms.

cclive is a command line tool for downloading videos from Youtube and other video websites that require Adobe Flash. It has low memory footprint compared to other similar tools.

Taskwarrior is a command line task list management utility with a multitude of features, developed as a portable open source project with an active and quite vast ecosystem of tools, hooks and extensions.

dbf is an easy-to-use command line tool to show and convert the content of dBASE III, IV, and 5.0 files. It reads dBASE databases and prints the content to the screen or converts it to comma-separated (*.csv) files which can be opened in Excel, Calc.

TortoiseHg is a shell extension that let users of Mercurial SCM (Hg) work directly from MS-Windows Explorer. It also includes a command line tool, hgtk, for use on Linux and other platforms.

The command line tool dvisvgm converts DVI, EPS, and PDF files to the XML-based SVG format.

Command line tool to convert BMP images to binary bitmaps and c header files with 8bit page layout instead of line layout (one byte is 8-bit vertical line). Can be used to present data for graphical LCD images in micro controller programming (eg AVR).

A command line tool for generating timing diagrams from ASCII input files. The input files use a structured language to represent signal state transitions and interdependencies. Raster image output support is provided by ImageMagick.

Library for continuous convex optimization in image analysis, together with a command line tool and Matlab interface. Implements several recent algorithms for inverse problems and image segmentation with total variation regularizers and vectorial multilabel transition costs. Also included is a suite for variational light field analysis, which ties into the HCI light field benchmark set and givens reference implementations for a number of our recently published algorithms. *** NOTE: documentation on the SourceForge page is outdated and not updated anymore, please visit http://cocolib.net ***

NOTE: The library code compatible with audacity has migrated to https://github.com/claytonotey/libsbsms A subband sinusoidal modeling library/command line tool/gui for time stretching and pitch scaling audio. Download the sbsms package for the source or the win32/mac wxSBSMSPlayer package for the gui binaries.

Command line tool to generate Gcode for CNC applications from DXF files. Originally written for 2-axis machines such as foam cutters, it now supports 3-axis machines.

Command line tool to find documents which contain strings matched by a regular expression. Supports pdf, Microsoft Office 98-2003, chm, text files. Will soon support html as well. Precompiled win32 version available

IMPORTANT NOTE: This project has been migrated to GitHub and is no longer maintained here. Please refer to: https://github.com/suhrig/pingpongpro Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs, predominantly active in the germ line. There, they limit the detrimental effect of transposons on the genome. They do so by forming a complex with Piwi proteins. The complex binds and then cleaves mRNA molecules of active transposons. The resulting mRNA fragments induce the production of more piRNAs, thus reinforcing the anti-transposon response in a feed-forward loop called the "ping-pong cycle". A key question in ping-pong cycle research is identification of piRNAs which are amplified through the cycle. PingPongPro is a command-line tool for detecting ping-pong cycle activity in piRNA-Seq data. PingPongPro was developed at the Institute of Molecular Biology gGmbH in Mainz.

mgrep is a command line tool that allows users to search text files for lines matching a given regular expression. It is similar to the well-known Unix utility, grep. As a natural extension to the single-line regular expressions, mgrep is also capable of searching for multiline patterns. mgrep is not a grep replacement, but it is intended to be grep-compatible: implemented options and behavior should be the same as those of grep. mgrep is written in C++ using the Boost.Regex library. A configure/make system is provided for Linux, but its source code should compile on all platforms that have the std and Boost.Regex libraries installed.
