README

        
libowfat is a library of general purpose APIs extracted from Dan

Bernstein's software, reimplemented and covered by the GNU General

Public License Version 2 (no later versions).

The API has been slightly extended (for example, I provide a uint32_read

function, and I extended the socket API to support IPv6) where I found

it necessary or beneficial in a specific project.

Many of the functions I implement here have since been placed in the

public domain, so there are other sources to get this code (except for

my extensions obviously).  The implementations here may not be as

portable as the original versions; I tend to focus on the Single Unix

Specification and not on some obsolete legacy systems found in the

basements of some vintage hardware clubs.

I also provide man pages for many functions, mostly extracted from Dan's

web documentation or documentation found in earlier versions of his

software.  For some reason, he abandoned man pages in favor of HTML

recently.

On July 4 2002, Dan also placed his DNS routines and supporting

low level functions in the public domain, so I copy them here instead of

reimplementing them.  http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/280642
