VDR ruby client library

Description

This is meant to be a ruby client library for VDR.

It is unfinished. Feel free to continue development. See background story.

Example usage

require 'lib/vdr'

con = Vdr::Connection.new('localhost',2001)
vdr = Vdr::Vdr.new(con)
puts vdr.disk_usage

Background story

I started developing this library in 2006. My parents own a VDR based computer for which I wanted to create a web frontend using Rails and this library.

This was my first attempt at Ruby code. I've been doing Java development before (which you can see in the code, really...). When I started working at imedo in 2007, I didn't take the time to finish this library. It collected dust on my hard drive since then.

I'm putting it up on github so you can develop it further. Or just use it as inspiration.

You can even develop the whole library without access to VDR as I collected example output from all the commands (as of 11/2006). See test directory.

Other than extracting the code to different files and some indentation the code is basically untouched since 2006.
