Native programs
The libremetaverse-programs package owns one native Rust binary for every
program in the pinned LibreMetaverse source snapshot. The source inventory and
hashes remain in upstream-programs.json; implementation status is tracked
here so a source entry is never mistaken for a completed port.

VivoxTest
vivox-test is a native async client of the Vivox SDK XML control protocol. It
connects to an already-running service; it does not bundle, locate, start, or
invoke the proprietary Vivox daemon, an SDK binary, a CLR, or the upstream C#
program. Connector, provisional-account login, session, participant-volume,
termination, account logout, connector shutdown, device enumeration, request
correlation, and daemon events all use the public
libremetaverse-voice-vivox::VivoxControlClient API.
Live validation is credential-safe and explicitly gated:
GRID_FIRST_NAME=... GRID_LAST_NAME=... GRID_PASSWORD=... \
vivox-test --allow-live-login --confirm-live-login LOGIN
The service endpoint defaults to 127.0.0.1:44124 and may be changed with
--daemon-endpoint IP:PORT. The daemon and its proprietary SDK prerequisites
must be installed and started separately. Capability URLs, provisioned account
credentials, connector/account/session handles, and voice URIs never appear in
diagnostics. Live parcel audio is a separate operation and is skipped unless
--allow-session-audio is supplied.
Offline CI uses --fake-script FILE. The bounded, tab-separated file provides
capture-device, current-capture, render-device, current-render,
provision, parcel, and participant directives. An optional reject
directive scripts a daemon failure. Fake mode binds an ephemeral IPv4 loopback
port and performs the complete ten-request control flow over TCP before awaiting
the service task and proving that no pipes, sessions, or tasks remain.
Run the issue-focused validation with:
cargo test -p libremetaverse-voice-vivox
cargo test -p libremetaverse-programs --test vivox_test_cli
cargo test --manifest-path tests/compat/Cargo.toml --test vivox_protocol_semantics
OSDInspector
osd-inspector is a bounded, offline command-line client of the public native
StructuredData and Primitive APIs. It does not initialize a grid client, read
credentials, load a native codec, or invoke a .NET process.
osd-inspector inspect <file> # alias: i
osd-inspector convert <input> <format> <out> # alias: c
osd-inspector validate <file> # alias: v
osd-inspector prim-to-osd
osd-inspector osd-to-prim <file>
The supported output formats are json (j), xml (x), binary
(bin or b), and notation (llsd or n). Use - as an input or output
path for standard input or standard output. Format detection uses the filename
extension as a hint and then checks every native parser, so binary and notation
LLSD work through files and pipes as well as JSON and XML.
Input is read through a bounded buffer and is limited to the StructuredData
binary allocation limit by default. --max-input-bytes <BYTES> can lower that
ceiling for constrained callers. StructuredData also enforces its depth, node,
and aggregate allocation limits while parsing.
Normal results are written to stdout and diagnostics to stderr. Exit status is stable for scripts:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Success |
| 2 | Command-line usage error |
| 3 | File or standard-stream I/O error |
| 4 | Invalid or oversized OSD input |
| 5 | Primitive conversion or output serialization error |
Run the issue-focused CLI suite and the related translated StructuredData cases with:
cargo test -p libremetaverse-programs --test osd_inspector_cli --locked
cargo test --manifest-path tests/compat/Cargo.toml --test structured_data --locked
SimpleBot
simple-bot is an asynchronous native Rust client with the command surface of
the upstream example. A live session accepts the original positional
credentials, or reads them from the environment:
simple-bot FIRSTNAME LASTNAME PASSWORD [--login-uri URL]
GRID_FIRST_NAME=... GRID_LAST_NAME=... GRID_PASSWORD=... simple-bot
GRID_LOGIN_URL supplies the endpoint when --login-uri is absent, and
--login-timeout-seconds bounds login to 30 seconds by default. Credentials,
authorization values, capability URLs, and token values are redacted from
output. After login the bot answers help/?, where/location, sit,
stand, dance, fly, walk, jump, and hello/hi/hey instant
messages. It also greets other avatars that say hello in local chat. Ctrl-C
cancels pending greetings and login work, releases an in-progress jump,
unsubscribes event handlers, logs out, and disposes the client before exit.
For offline validation, --fake-script FILE runs the same command handlers
against a deterministic fake grid. Scripts contain no credentials. Blank
lines and lines beginning with # are ignored; remaining lines use one of:
im<TAB>source-uuid<TAB>source-name<TAB>message
chat<TAB>source-uuid<TAB>source-name<TAB>message
status<TAB>message
The reader accepts at most 1 MiB, 1,024 events, 256-byte names, and 4,096-byte messages. The fake transcript records every client call, uses the real DANCE1 UUID, and finishes with zero active tasks and sockets. Run the issue-focused suite and the related runtime compatibility cases with:
cargo test -p libremetaverse-programs --test simple_bot_cli --locked
cargo test --manifest-path tests/compat/Cargo.toml --test core_runtime_shims --locked
IRCGateway
irc-gateway preserves the upstream seven-position live interface and bridges
fully audible normal local chat to one IRC channel in both directions:
irc-gateway FIRSTNAME LASTNAME PASSWORD MASTER_UUID IRC_HOST IRC_PORT '#channel'
The positional values can instead come from GRID_FIRST_NAME,
GRID_LAST_NAME, GRID_PASSWORD, GRID_MASTER_UUID, IRC_HOST, IRC_PORT,
and IRC_CHANNEL. GRID_LOGIN_URL or --login-uri selects a grid endpoint.
--nickname defaults to the upstream SLGateway name. Login is bounded by
--login-timeout-seconds; --messages-per-second and --burst control the
per-direction token buckets.
The native IRC transport registers with NICK/USER, responds to PING,
joins after numeric 001, handles fragmented UTF-8 input, caps inbound and
outbound lines, and reconnects with exponential backoff. The bridge uses
bounded queues, sanitizes names and line breaks, suppresses self messages,
short-window duplicates, and reflected cross-transport messages, and accepts
teleport lures only from MASTER_UUID. Login messages and console output
redact credentials, tokens, capability URLs, and other URLs. Ctrl-C cancels
login and reconnect waits, closes the IRC socket, joins workers, unsubscribes
grid callbacks, logs out, and disposes the native client.
Offline tests use the same routing and rate-limit engine without credentials or network access:
irc-connect
irc-disconnect
irc<TAB>target<TAB>nickname<TAB>message
grid-chat<TAB>source-uuid<TAB>name<TAB>normal|other<TAB>full|other<TAB>message
grid-login<TAB>message
teleport<TAB>source-uuid<TAB>session-uuid
advance<TAB>milliseconds
shutdown
Scripts are limited to 1 MiB and 4,096 events; names, messages, transport queues, and loop histories are also bounded. Run the issue-focused suite and the related native social-message compatibility cases with:
cargo test -p libremetaverse-programs --test irc_gateway_cli --locked
cargo test -p libremetaverse-programs irc_gateway::tests --locked
cargo test --manifest-path tests/compat/Cargo.toml --test social_message_semantics --locked
TestClient
test-client is a native asynchronous multi-avatar command shell. It accepts
one account with --first, --last, and --pass, or a bounded account file
with --file. Account-file records use First Last Password followed by an
optional Region/x/y/z start location. --loginuri, --startpos, --master,
--masterkey, --groupcommands, --gettextures, --scriptfile, and --nogui
preserve the upstream shell controls. Each login has a configurable timeout, the registry is
limited to 64 clients, and @ First Last selects one client while @ restores
broadcast command routing.
The implemented command groups are @, debug, echomaster, help, im,
imgroup, load, login, logpacket, logout, md5, quit, say,
setmaster, setmasterkey, shout, showeffects, sleep, waitforlogin, and
whisper. The inventory wave also implements appearance, attachments,
avatarinfo, clone, wear, backuptext, balance, cd, createnotecard,
deletefolder, download, dumpoutfit, emptylostandfound, emptytrash,
giveall, give, i, ls, objectinventory, script, taskrunning,
uploadimage, uploadscript, viewnote, and xfer. Chat and instant-message
bodies are bounded to the grid protocol limit. Group commands require both
--groupcommands and current group membership. Master chat can be echoed,
master teleport lures are accepted, and remote login and md5 command text
is redacted from transcripts. Packet logs contain only timestamped packet type,
simulator name, and byte count; they are limited to 10,000 records and 16 MiB.
The world wave adds all movement and teleport commands, primitive search,
inspection, permissions, derez, deterministic linkset export/import, texture
download, particle export, tree creation, parcel and estate queries, terrain
transfer, and grid map/layer/location/wind commands. textures on and
--gettextures perform deduplicated native asset-cache requests for observed
primitive textures. Detailed command behavior and limits are in
docs/test-client.md.
The final non-voice wave adds nearby-agent and bot inspection, complete profile cloning, friend mapping, group membership and role operations, paged directory searches, event details, animation control, object touch, and region/network statistics. Live profile cloning combines the modern AgentProfile capability with the legacy interests reply so text, images, URL, interests, picks, and public groups are all synchronized.
The native load command reads a portable command-alias manifest instead of a
CLR assembly. Each non-comment line is tab-separated
name<TAB>description<TAB>template; {args} or $* inserts the quoted command
arguments. Manifests are limited to 1 MiB and 128 commands, with an alias
expansion depth of eight.
Inventory and appearance mutations require both the global
--allow-live-mutations switch and a per-command --confirm argument. Uploads
and L$ transfers additionally require --allow-spending. Downloads and
backups reject parent traversal, individual assets are limited to 64 MiB,
backups are limited to 10,000 files and 512 MiB, and image uploads decode
portable TGA, JPEG, PNG, WebP, or JPEG2000 input before producing the grid's
JPEG2000 texture format. Live commands use the public inventory, appearance,
asset, agent, directory, and task-inventory managers; Xfer downloads wait for
their correlated UDP completion event.
World mutations use the same global switch and confirmation requirement.
Imports and terrain uploads also require --allow-spending; terrain owner
messages also require --allow-estate-actions. Movement durations, reply
waits, files, query results, regexes, and exported/imported linksets are
bounded, and all waits propagate cancellation.
Use --fake-script FILE for deterministic, credential-free terminal and grid
validation. Normal lines are dispatched exactly like interactive input. Fake
grid records begin with ! and use tab-separated fields:
!client<TAB>client-uuid<TAB>first<TAB>last
!client<TAB>client-uuid<TAB>first<TAB>last<TAB>master-name<TAB>master-uuid<TAB>true|false
!person<TAB>avatar-name<TAB>avatar-uuid

!shutdown
Inputs are limited to 1 MiB and 4,096 lines. The fake transcript records native backend calls and ends with connected-client, pending-login, active-task, shutdown, dropped-event, and pending-command-inventory state. Run the focused framework and compatibility checks with:

PacketDump
packet-dump preserves the upstream live arguments and its 20-second login
timeout while adding safe, bounded capture controls:
packet-dump FIRSTNAME LASTNAME PASSWORD SECONDS
[--direction incoming|outgoing|both]
[--packet-type NAME]... [--raw]
[--output FILE] [--max-output-bytes BYTES] [--max-packets COUNT]
SECONDS=0 captures until Ctrl-C. Credentials can instead come from
GRID_FIRST_NAME, GRID_LAST_NAME, and GRID_PASSWORD; GRID_LOGIN_URL or
--login-uri selects a login endpoint. The client disables multiple simulator
connections and sends zero land, wind, and cloud throttles like the source
program. Incoming decoded callbacks retain their original datagrams, while
outgoing callbacks are decoded through the public packet factory. Records show
direction, packet type, simulator, byte count, sequence, frequency, ID, and
header flags. Exact packet-type filters may be repeated.
Raw hexadecimal output is opt-in. Live capture masks the password and native session identifiers wherever they occur in a datagram, and suppresses raw payloads containing URLs, authorization terms, capability terms, or token assignments. Login and disconnect messages use the same text redaction. Output defaults to stdout, may be redirected to a newly truncated file, and is bounded to 16 MiB and 100,000 matching packets unless lower or higher explicit limits are supplied. A complete line is either written or rejected at the byte limit.
Offline validation uses --fake-script FILE with records of this form:
incoming<TAB>simulator<TAB>hex-bytes
outgoing<TAB>simulator<TAB>hex-bytes
Scripts are capped at 8 MiB and individual datagrams at 64 KiB. Each datagram is passed through the native wire decoder; malformed and unknown packets are reported without aborting the capture. The issue-focused and related translated wire tests are:
cargo test -p libremetaverse-programs --test packet_dump_cli --locked
cargo test -p libremetaverse --test packet_wire --locked
cargo test --manifest-path tests/compat/Cargo.toml --test wire_semantics --locked
PrimInspector
prim-inspector preserves the upstream positional login and search arguments:
prim-inspector FIRSTNAME LASTNAME PASSWORD [SEARCH_TERM]
GRID_FIRST_NAME=... GRID_LAST_NAME=... GRID_PASSWORD=... prim-inspector
The native client disables multiple-simulator connections, allows 30 seconds
for login, collects object updates for two seconds, and snapshots the current
simulator's real primitive table. It requests missing properties through
ObjectManager::SelectObject, sharing a three-second deadline across at most
1,024 outstanding requests. A disconnect, simulator change, or Ctrl-C cancels
the operation and still removes handlers, logs out, and disposes the client.
Names are filtered case-insensitively after available properties are hydrated.
Matches are ordered by distance from the agent, with local ID and UUID tie
breakers, and the nearest ten are shown by default. --limit accepts one
through 100 objects. Output covers transforms, construction data, flags,
parentage, sculpt, light, flexible, ownership, creator, description, sale, and
hover-text details. Status text, descriptions, and names suppress URLs and
credential-like assignments, and --max-output-bytes bounds the complete
buffer before anything is written.
For offline validation, --fake-grid FILE [--search SEARCH_TERM] reads an LLSD
JSON map containing region, agent_position, and an objects array. Object
maps use the public Primitive::from_osd fields and may add owner, creator,
sale_type, sale_price, hover_text, and property_state. The latter is
ready, delayed, or missing; delayed and missing fixtures record the same
selection/property-timeout decisions as a live session. Input is limited to 8
MiB, 100,000 objects, LLSD depth/allocation limits, nonzero UUID/local IDs, and
validated property/sale states. No live grid is contacted by the tests.
Run the isolated CLI golden tests and the related translated primitive cases:
cargo test -p libremetaverse-programs --test prim_inspector_cli --locked
cargo test --manifest-path tests/compat/Cargo.toml --test world_object_semantics --locked
InventoryExplorer
inventory-explorer preserves the source program's live login and operation
options:
inventory-explorer FIRSTNAME LASTNAME PASSWORD [--stats]
[--search TERM [--type TYPE]] [--export FILE]
Credentials may instead come from GRID_FIRST_NAME, GRID_LAST_NAME, and
GRID_PASSWORD; GRID_LOGIN_URL or --login-uri selects the endpoint. Login
and inventory readiness each have a 30-second deadline. The native client waits
for a populated root in the real InventoryManager::store, handles Ctrl-C and
disconnects, removes event handlers, logs out, and disposes the client on every
post-construction path.
With no operation option, the program prints the sorted top-level folders and
items. --stats traverses the hierarchy and reports item and root-folder counts
plus the ten most common asset types. --search performs a case-insensitive
name search across folders and items, reports parent folders and UUIDs, and
shows link targets. --type accepts every native AssetType name and narrows
item results. Search output defaults to 50 results and is capped at 1,000.
--export FILE writes a deterministic deterministic-v1 hierarchy with
folders before items, stable case-insensitive name and UUID ordering, asset
types, link targets, and UUIDs. The destination must be an explicit non-symlink
path of at most 4,096 characters. The in-memory export is validated before the
file is written and defaults to a 16 MiB limit. Traversal defaults to 100,000
entries and 64 folder levels, detects cycles, and exposes configurable bounded
limits. Standard output is buffered and limited to 4 MiB, and inventory/status
text redacts URLs and credential-like assignments.
Offline validation uses --fake-ais FILE. The file is an LLSD JSON AIS response
with a nonzero root_id and ordinary _embedded.categories, .items, and
.links maps. It is capped at 8 MiB and parsed by the public native
InventoryAISClient; parsed folders, items, and links are then installed
through the real manager-owned Inventory store. This exercises AIS typing,
derived inventory items, link targets, parent indexes, and folder contents
without contacting a grid or embedding credentials.
