Start with: p4v
Look at the documentation in the doc/intro/intro.html (or /usr/lib/p4vasp/doc/intro.html, when installed), if you need some clues how to deal with the p4v GUI.
Some people prefer command-line tools and automatic scripts to a graphical interface. For those, there are some simple scripts in the utils directory (/usr/lib/p4vasp/utils). They are also a good example for the p4vasp-API.
P4vasp package embeds the odpdom library, that is available also as a separate project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/odpdom) and a slightly modified version of the piddle library (piddle.sourceforge.net). Both odpdom and piddle are available under the LGPL License (see odpdom/COPYING).
This package as well may contain other packages (in ext directory) under various open-source licenses: fltk (www.fltk.org), sqlite (www.sqlite.org) and pysqlite (code.google.com/p/pysqlite). These packages are provided for convenience only to make the installation easier.
