WORK IN PROGRESS This is Work In Progress. Currently only lscatroof tool is usable. |
catroof is device manager software for operating systems running Linux kernel with ALSA (PCM and RAWMIDI) enabled.
For those familiar with ratbagd, it is a similar device manager software. Instead of limiting the scope of devices to input devices, catroof aims at configuring settings of audio, midi and surface control devices, a task that includes managing some linux input devices. catroofd is designed to be run on user session bus, and not as root. Instead, standard UNIX permission mechanisms ensure that processes running as non-priviledged user have access to the device objects (via standard udev hooks that adjust group membership, or ACL, for the appearing device nodes).
Project goals:
-
device manager D-Bus service (catroofd) that implements device enumeration, configuration and profile (UCM2 and more) management.
-
User interface frontends, including but not limited to:
-
GTK3 frotnend via GNOME introspection (gcatroof) See piper for the libratbag equivalent.
-
ncurses frontend (ncatroof)
-
commandline control via catroof_control
-
QT (KDE) frontend
-
WebUI frontend via D-Bus to HTTP
-
Example output of lscatroof that shows various sysfs devices and their mapping to ALSA
