Swabber


Swabber is a project, which although is presented on Yocto Project's official page, is said to be a work in progress; no activity has been done on it since September 18, 2011. It does not have a maintainers file where you can find more information about its creators. However, the committers list should be enough for anyone interested in taking a deeper look at this project.

This tool was selected for a short introduction in this chapter because it constitutes another point of view of the Yocto Project's ecosystem. Of course, a mechanism for access detection into the host system is not a bad idea and is very useful to detect accesses that could be problematic for your system, but it is not the first tool that comes to mind when developing software. When you have the possibility of redoing your build and inspecting your host ecosystem manually, you tend to lose sight of the fact that tools could be available for this task too, and that they could make your life easier.
