= Welcome to Tango.Scrapple =

A collection of handy Tango based codes and classes that otherwise don't have a home.

== Current Module List ==

 * [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango.scrapple/browser/trunk/tango/scrapple/thread/Actor.d Actor] -- An implementation of the actor model of concurrency for D.  An Actor is a thread with built-in message-passing support for concurrency.
 * [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango.scrapple/browser/trunk/tango/scrapple/util/Arguments.d Arguments] -- Command line argument parsing.
 * [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango.scrapple/browser/trunk/tango/scrapple/util/Hex.d Hex] -- Module for handy Hex functions.  Currently contains ''hexDump'', a function that prints nicely formatted hex dumps, and string to ubyte (and vice versa) converters.
 * [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango.scrapple/browser/trunk/tango/scrapple/io/Logout.d Logout] -- A wrapper around the Tango logging classes that provides quick and easy use in a manner consistent with the Tango Stdout module.  Features additional logging levels for more control, lazily evaluated log output for efficient use, and automatic utilization of both console and disk output.
 * [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango.scrapple/browser/trunk/tango/scrapple/text/convert/parseFrom.d parseFrom] / [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango.scrapple/browser/trunk/tango/scrapple/text/convert/parseTo.d parseTo] -- Lightweight and efficient data type and text conversion templates.  Works with nearly any data type including arrays and associative arrays, and is unicode aware.
 * [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango.scrapple/browser/trunk/tango/scrapple/protocol/PlainTextProtocol.d PlainTextProtocol] -- A protocol for compatibility to a widely used mechanism for saving data to files and reading it back with methods like printf and scanf.
 * [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango.scrapple/browser/trunk/tango/scrapple/io/filter/RawCoutFilter.d RawCoutFilter] -- A filter for doing raw Cout.
 * [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango.scrapple/browser/trunk/tango/scrapple/sys/win32/Registry.d Registry] -- Win32 registry handling.
 * [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango.scrapple/browser/trunk/tango/scrapple/util/Test.d Test] -- Unit testing.
 * [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango.scrapple/browser/trunk/tango/scrapple/thread/ThreadPool.d ThreadPool] -- Automatically create a pool of threads to work on a given function.
 * [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango.scrapple/browser/trunk/tango/scrapple/io/Tilde.d Tilde] -- Tilde path expansion for Posix systems.
 * [http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango.scrapple/browser/trunk/tango/scrapple/util/uuid Uuid] -- An implementation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUID UUID] data type and generators.
