OWFS is a suite of programs, all based in a common idea:
An easy way to name and talk to 1-wire devices.
All the devices use their Unique ID as their name, and then add individual properties (like address or temperature).

 

Language modules
   C Perl
PHP
Python
TCL
Visual Basic
FULL - libow

owcapi

 (libowcapi)

owperl

 owphp

owpython

owtcl

  
LIGHT - OWNet
(owserver connection)
  

 OWNet.pm

 OWNet.php

OWNet.py

 

 OWNet.vb

You can access OWFS from your programs two ways:

  1. running owfs and reading from the owfs filesystem.
  2. using a language module. It makes the calls directly, uses the same naming scheme, and doesn't require the owfs filesystem.
If you want more than one program to read 1-wire, or to use the filesystem or web server at the same time, you should use owserver to manage the 1-wire  bus.

OWFS has an extensive collection of man pages, covering the actual programs, and the supported 1-wire slaves.
