The PDS Tools Package is the complete set of PDS Engineering Node supported tools. This package contains a single installer file which includes the option to install the following tools:

Tool	Description
Keyword Definition (ddict)	Lists all keywords and their definitions from the specified file(s).
Keyword Verifier (kwvtool)	Lists all keywords and a distinct set of their values from the specified files(s).
Label Parser	The Java-based label parser parses an ODL label and generates an XML representation.
Label Verifier (lvtool)	Performs validation of PDS labels.
Line Analyzer (line)	Analyzes each line of a file and reports anomalies.
Make Index (make_index)	Creates an index file (pdsdd.idx) from a data dictionary file (pdsdd.full).
Perl Validation Toolkit	Validates PDS volumes (includes lvtool and kwvtool).
Table Checker (table_check)	Performs a variety of tests on PDS table objects.
Table to Label Generator (tab2lab)	Generates PDS labels from values in a table.

The PDS Tools Package also includes libraries which are utilized by the tools listed above and are available for use in customized applications.

Library	Description
Label Library (lablib)	This library, written in C, can be used to read, process and write PDS labels.
Label Library Light (lablib3)	This library, written in C, can be used to read, process and write PDS labels. Compared to lablib, this library is smaller, faster and has a simpler interface.
ODLC Library (odlc)	This library, written in C, can be used to access data that meet the standards of the PDS.
Object Access Library (oal)	This library, written in C, can be used to access data that meet the standards of the PDS.
