Libosso is the basic library containing required and helpful functions for maemo applications. one of libosso's main features is rpc (remote procedure calls) services (as it "wraps" d-bus). in addition, libosso provides access to low-level hardware functions, such as turning on (or keeping on) the display, autosaving, state saving and system time.

all maemo-compliant applications must use libosso to respond coherently to system changes and signals, such as the battery low, pre-shutdown and state saving signals.

this package contains the development files.
