If you are impatient and not interested in the full story, here is the download button for a docker image with elle distribution in an interactive container based on GNU/Debian bullseye-slim (to be minimalist!):
https://hub.docker.com/r/roccocarbone/elle
The container is interactive, meaning that the Docker-CLI will talk directly with the LIS shell included in the image.
It can be easily pulled and run using the following commands:
user@somehost 1> docker pull roccocarbone/elle
Using default tag: latest

- lsh 0.1.0 (Apr 5 2020) -- R. Carbone (rocco@tecsiel.it)
A hack of the popular 'tcsh' with builtin extensions for LIS protocols
Type 'help' for the list of builtin extensions implemented by this shell.
elle is a C implementation of CLSI LIS Services and Protocols to connect medical equipments, middlewares and laboratory systems over TCP/IPv4 networks.
elle includes a lot of software modules:
libelle - a C library to enable C-written applications to establish, use and release multiple connections with peer applications for the purpose of exchanging LIS Frames/Records in a network end-system architecture based on the TCP/IP Protocols accordingly to CLSI LIS international standards.
lsh - The first LIS shell for Linux Systems, implemented as a clone of the [tcsh] shell with extensions to add LIS commands, that include fileutils, connections, LIS Frames generators and senders over TCP/IPv4 Networks. lsh may be used as both an interactive tool for talking with medical applications and instruments/analyzers using LIS Protocols and an interpreter for the execution of testsuites.
lisc - a tiny-compiler able to convert raw LIS text files to C data structures (variables/structures/functions) for direct inclusion in C applications. Used mainly for development and a definition of consistent QA test environment.
liblis-files - a tiny C library for working with in memory LIS files each with its own Sessions/Records. Used mainly for development and a definition of consistent QA test environment.
standalone binary programs to play with LIS Protocols including:
- fileutils (lcat, lc, ldump, ltree)
- production servers (lvald, elled)
- testing servers (lnulld, lnakd, lackd, lslowd)
- testing clients (lrain, lsndfile)
- testing generators (lgen)
- tools (such a general-purpose elle-plugin loader to build and run complex architectures)
