Sample code is good. It's often more useful to read some sample code that page endlessly through documentation. We're hoping to build up a repository of code that may be fully fledged applications or just a short function, all available for use in your projects with no ties!
Presently we have the following pieces of sample code available...
| Title | Description | Options |
|---|---|---|
| binimg | Shows any binary file as 8 or 32 bpp picture, you can change the picture size, byte offset, page up/down... | View

| connect_test.c | Simple little test app that tries to connect to www.google.com on port 80 to test if the internet is still switched on. Written in response to questions and a request on irc #beclan :-) | View

| dpms CLI roster | This is a simple CLI tool to use the DPMS API to force monitor shutdown or query the DPMS capabilities. | View

| keep_module.c |
This is a small kernel driver who's aim is to keep a module referenced and therefore kept loaded, even if the B_KEEP_LOADED flag isn't specified for that module. It's mainly of interest to developers who are working on kernel modules :) NB don't add the code to open this in the std_ops function or you'll end up in an endless loop! |

| listfonts | This CLI tool list installed fonts and their properties. Also demonstrates how to get a BApplication object Run()ed while leaving the main thread for other purposes. | View

| list_test.cpp | A small app that shows how to sort an stl::list on a member of a user defined class. | View

| signal_test | A question came up on #beclan about using a -ve thread id to change how signals are delivered. This looked like an attempt to copy the unix behaviour where using a -pid will deliver the signal to all other processes in the group. Being a little unsure I wrote this simple test app and added a function that mimics that behaviour. | View

| stat.c | stat() a file and print the result. This code shows what kind of information you can find about files using the stat() call. | View

| test-getaddrinfo.c | getaddrinfo is a resolving function that is usable over a wide range of protocols (it should supports IPv6) that is being introduced. Be thoughfully included it in their BONE networking but there are a couple of problems with the actual implenetation as this small app shows. (Should build on most unix's) | View
