The documents here are for the last ever version of Karma, 1.7.25, and may contain some inaccuracies or anacronisms. <hr> Karma is a toolkit for interprocess communications, authentication, encryption, graphics display, user interface and manipulating the Karma network data structure. It contains <a href="README.lib">KarmaLib</a> (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 <a href="file:/usr/local/karma/www/index.html">use that copy</a>, it will be much faster.
