Karma is a toolkit for interprocess communications, authentication, encryption, graphics display, user interface and manipulating the Karma network data structure. It contains KarmaLib (the structured libraries and API) and a large number of modules (applications) to perform many standard tasks.

A suite of visualisation tools is also distributed with the library.

If you have the Karma HTML documentation files installed under /usr/local/karma/www then use that copy, it will be much faster.

For a more detailed description of the Karma Library, read the Karma Library README file.

Karma is freely available and is distributed under the GNU LGPL (libraries) and GPL (applications).
