Annotation of ports/misc/kgpsd/pkg/DESCR-main, Revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       kirby       1: gpsd is a service daemon that monitors one or more GPSes attached
                      2: to a host computer through serial or USB ports, making all data on
                      3: the location/course/velocity of the sensors available to be queried
                      4: on TCP port 2947 of the host computer. With gpsd, multiple GPS
                      5: client applications (such as navigational and wardriving software)
                      6: can share access to GPSes without contention or loss of data. Also,
                      7: gpsd responds to queries with a format that is substantially easier
                      8: to parse than the NMEA 0183 emitted by most GPSes. The gpsd
                      9: distribution includes a linkable C service library, a C++ wrapper
                     10: class, and a Python module that developers of gpsd-aware applications
                     11: can use to encapsulate all communication with gpsd.
