PUBLIB(3pub)
NAME
publib - introduction to publib
SYNOPSIS
#include <publib.h>
DESCRIPTION
publib is both a library of C functions that are useful in many of programs, and a framework for building such a library from components
(called modules) provided by separate people. It is an extension to
the Standard C library (as defined by the ISO/ANSI C standard
9899-1990). To use the functions in publib, #include <publib.h> and
link with the libpub.a library (adding -lpub at the end of the link
command should work, if the library has been installed properly). See
the source code and/or man page for each module for copyright restrictions (which may be different for different modules).
- The publib framework is distributed separately from the library modules. The framework contains no library functions at all. Some of the
currently available modules are:
- string and memory area manipulation
memory allocation
I/O
comparison functions for qsort, bsearch, and others
expression evaluation - More to be expected in future releases.
