libjpeg-turbo
SIMD-accelerated libjpeg-compatible JPEG codec library
libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON, AltiVec) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, ARM, and PowerPC systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-6x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines. In many cases, the performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG codecs. libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API as well as the less powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API. libjpeg-turbo also features colorspace extensions that allow it to compress from/decompress to 32-bit and big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), as well as a full-featured Java interface.">

usbmuxd
A socket daemon to multiplex connections from and to iOS devices
A socket daemon to multiplex connections from and to iOS devices. usbmuxd stands for "USB multiplexing daemon". This daemon is in charge of multiplexing connections over USB to an iOS device. The daemon is automatically started by udev or systemd depending on what you have configured upon hotplug of an iOS device and exits if the last device was unplugged. When usbmuxd is running it provides a socket interface at /var/run/usbmuxd that is designed to be compatible with the socket interface that is provided on macOS. You should also create an usbmux user that has access to USB devices on your system. Alternatively, just pass a different username using the -U argument. usbmuxd is not used for tethering data transfers which uses a dedicated USB interface to act as a virtual network device. The higher-level layers, especially if you want to write an application to interact with the device, are handled by libimobiledevice. -

libwdi
Windows Driver Installer library for USB devices
libwdi is a cross-platform open-source C library focused on simplifying the installation of device drivers for USB hardware that otherwise does not have automatic driver support, making it especially useful for developers building installers or system management tools. The library abstracts away many of the complexities of USB device enumeration and driver deployment on Windows systems, such as creating a list of devices, preparing appropriate driver files, and invoking the operating system’s driver installation mechanics, so your software doesn’t have to re-implement these low-level tasks. It provides a clean API that includes functions to detect driverless USB devices, prepare driver packages, install drivers programmatically, and handle logging and error codes reliably. Projects integrate this library into custom installers, automated provisioning scripts, or hardware management solutions where users need seamless driver setup without manual steps. -

WebP Codec
Library to encode and decode images in WebP format
libwebp is the reference codec library for Google’s WebP image format, providing both encoding and decoding along with command-line tools. It supplies cwebp to compress images into WebP and dwebp to decompress them back, making it easy to test quality/size trade-offs across presets and tuning parameters. The GitHub repository is a mirror; the canonical source of truth lives on Chromium’s git, and developer docs are hosted on WebP’s portal. The project underpins WebP support across browsers, imaging libraries, and many native apps thanks to its stable C API. Additional companion repos host test data and demos, including JavaScript builds and timing tests for various platforms. As a widely deployed codec, libwebp balances compression efficiency, speed, and integration simplicity across platforms. -

Expat
Fast streaming XML parser written in C99 with >90% test coverage
Welcome to Expat, a stream-oriented XML parser library written in C. Expat excels with files too large to fit RAM, and where performance and flexibility are crucial. There are a number of applications, libraries, and hardware using Expat, as well as bindings and 3rd-party wrappers. Expat is packaged everywhere. This is Expat, a C99 library for parsing XML 1.0 Fourth Edition, started by James Clark in 1997. Expat is a stream-oriented XML parser. This means that you register handlers with the parser before starting the parse. These handlers are called when the parser discovers the associated structures in the document being parsed. A start tag is an example of the kind of structure for which you may register handlers. -
