| Version: 6.5 | Vendor: SUSE LLC <https://www.suse.com/> |
| Release: slfo.1.1.4 | Build date: Sat Jun 15 01:28:01 2024 |
| Group: System/Daemons | Build host: s390zl38 |
| Size: 43410 | Source RPM: brltty-6.5-slfo.1.1.4.src.rpm |

| Summary: Library to use BRLTTY from applications -- Tcl Bindings | |
BrlAPI is a service provided by the brltty daemon. Its purpose is to allow programmers to write applications that take advantage of a braille terminal in order to deliver a blind user suitable information for his/her specific needs. While an application communicates with the braille terminal, everything brltty sends to the braille terminal in the application's console is ignored, whereas each piece of data coming from the braille terminal is sent to the application, rather than to brltty.
