Cog is a small single “window” launcher for the WebKit WPE port. It is small, provides no user interface, and is suitable to be used as a Web application container. The “window” may be fullscreen depending on the WPE backend being used.
This project provides the following components:
-
libcogcoreis a library with ready-to-use components typically needed for implementing applications which use the WebKit WPE/GTK+ API. -
cogis the launcher itself, implemented using thelibcogcorelibrary. -
cogctlis a tool which can be used to control acoginstance using the D-Bus session bus.
It is possible to disable building the cog and cogctl programs by passing
-DCOG_BUILD_PROGRAMS=OFF to CMake.
