LD_PRELOAD-able shared libraries for Linux

• autossl.so
• recyclix.so

autossl.so

autossl.so upgrades plaintext network sockets to SSL/TLS transparently for TCP client applications with the help of external program. See description and usage docs in the source file.

recyclix.so

recyclix.so is an LD_PRELOAD-able shared library intercepting file deletions and moving files to recycle bin (trash can) folder.

It can be configured via environment variable RECYCLER, whiches format is:

RECYCLER=<DIR>[,<SIZE_LIMIT>][,!<EXCLUDE_PATTERN>][:<DIR>[,<SIZE_LIMIT>][,!<EXCLUDE_PATTERN>][:<DIR>...]]

where <SIZE_LIMIT> is <N><UNIT>[-<N><UNIT>] indicating minimum and optional maximum file size which recyclix saves; <EXCLUDE_PATTERN> is a regexp pattern which if matches to the file name, the file is ignored. Multiple recycle bin definitions are supported, ideally one for each filesystem. Examples:

RECYCLER='~/.Recycler,10M'
RECYCLER='~/Trash,100B-1G,!(\.bak|~)$'
RECYCLER='~/.Recycler,1k:/mnt/sdb/home/johndoe/.Recycler,!\.bak$,1k-100M:/var/deleted-files,!(\.bak|-)$'

Behavior and limitations

It saves about-to-be deleted files in that recycle bin which is on the same filesystem (partition) as the file. The file is not gonna be saved if there is no recycle bin on the filesystem according to $RECYCLER. It keeps the file's path relative to the filesystem's mountpoint in the recycle bin too, so /home/johndoe/src/xyz/file goes to /home/johndoe/.Recycler/johndoe/src/xyz/file provided that /home is the mountpoint. It overwrites the file in the recycle bin if it already exists.

The following flow chart illustrates its inner working:
