# This is not a real Debian control file # It's project metadata for the shipper tool Package: gpsd Description: A monitoring daemon for GPSes, AIS radios, and other nav sensors. gpsd is a userland daemon acting as a translator between GPS and AIS receivers and their clients. gpsd listens on port 2947 for clients requesting position/time/velocity information. The receivers are expected to generate position information in a well-known format -- as NMEA-0183 sentences, SiRF binary, Rockwell binary, Garmin binary format, or other vendor binary protocols. gpsd takes this information from the GPS and translates it into JSON objects in a uniform and well-documented format that easier for clients to understand. The distribution includes sample clients, application interface libraries, and test/profiling tools.
