./devel/skalibs, The skarnet.org C system programming library

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.14.3.0, Package name: skalibs-2.14.3.0, Maintainer: schmonz

skalibs is a package centralizing the free software / open source C
development files used for building all software at skarnet.org: it contains
essentially general-purpose libraries. You will need to install skalibs if
you plan to build skarnet.org software. The point is that you won't have to
download and compile big libraries, and care about portability issues,
everytime you need to build a package: do it only once.

skalibs can also be used as a sound basic start for C development. There are
a lot of general-purpose libraries out there; but if your main goal is to
produce small and secure C code with a focus on system programming, skalibs
might be for you.

Log message:
Update to 2.13.0.0. From the changelog:

- New functions: buffer_timed_put(), buffer_timed_puts(), for
  synchronous writes to a file descriptor with a time limit.
- strerr2.h deprecated. strerr.h entirely revamped. Every existing
  strerr interface is now a variable argument macro around the new
  strerr_warnv, strerr_warnvsys, strerr_diev and strerr_dievsys
  functions, which just prints arrays of strings to stderr. This reduces
  the amount of adhocness in the strerr code considerably, allows calls
  without an upper bound on the number of strings, and should save some
  bytes in resulting binaries.
- librandom revamped (again).
  * random_init() and random_finish() removed.
  * random_char() removed.
  * random_string() renamed to random_buf().
  * early versions added.
- New djbunix functions: waitn_posix(), waitn_reap_posix().
- readnclose() made public, now doesn't touch errno on success.
- openreadnclose_at() now returns a ssize_t.
- Bugfixes.
