## Releases
All [release files](https://github.com/greenbone/gvm-libs/releases) are signed with
the [Greenbone Community Feed integrity key](https://community.greenbone.net/t/gcf-managing-the-digital-signatures/101).
This gpg key can be downloaded at https://www.greenbone.net/GBCommunitySigningKey.asc
and the fingerprint is `8AE4 BE42 9B60 A59B 311C 2E73 9823 FAA6 0ED1 E580`.
## Installation
This module can be configured, built and installed with following commands:
cmake .
make install
For detailed installation requirements and instructions, please see the file
[INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md).
If you are not familiar or comfortable building from source code, we recommend
that you use the Greenbone Security Manager TRIAL (GSM TRIAL), a prepared virtual
machine with a readily available setup. Information regarding the virtual machine
is available at .
## Usage
The `gvm-libs` module consists of the following libraries:
- `base`: All basic modules which require only the `glib` library as a dependency.
- `util`: All modules that require more than the `glib` library as dependency.
- `gmp`: API support for the Greenbone Management Protocol (GMP).
- `osp`: API support for the Open Scanner Protocol (OSP).
For more information on using the functionality provided by the `gvm-libs`
module please refer to the source code documentation.
## Support
For any question on the usage of `gvm-libs` please use the [Greenbone Community
Portal](https://community.greenbone.net/). If you found a problem with the
software, please [create an issue](https://github.com/greenbone/gvm-libs/issues)
on GitHub. If you are a Greenbone customer you may alternatively or additionally
forward your issue to the Greenbone Support Portal.
## Maintainer
This project is maintained by [Greenbone AG](https://www.greenbone.net/).
## Contributing
Your contributions are highly appreciated. Please [create a pull
request](https://github.com/greenbone/gvm-libs/pulls) on GitHub. Bigger changes
need to be discussed with the development team via the [issues section at
github](https://github.com/greenbone/gvm-libs/issues) first.
Before creating a pull request, it is recommended to check the formatting for
source code and cmake files.
### Code style and formatting
All C source and header files are formatted using [clang-format](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html).
To install clang-format on a Debian based system the following command can be
used:
sudo apt install clang-format
To format all C source and header files run the command:
make format
This reformats the new code to ensure that it follows the code style and
formatting guidelines.
### CMake formatting
All CMake files are formatted using [gersemi](https://github.com/BlankSpruce/gersemi).
To install gersemi on a Debian based system the following commands can be used:
sudo apt install pipx
pipx install gersemi
To format all CMake files run the command:
gersemi -i cmake .
### Static code analysis with the Clang Static Analyzer
If you want to use the [Clang Static Analyzer](http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/)
to do a static code analysis, you can do so by prefixing the configuration and
build commands with `scan-build`:
scan-build cmake ..
scan-build make
The tool will provide a hint on how to launch a web browser with the results.
It is recommended to do this analysis in a separate, empty build directory and
to empty the build directory before `scan-build` call.
