# libphorward [](https://travis-ci.org/phorward/libphorward)
The **libphorward** is a generic C/C++ library and toolbox, serving platform-independent utilities for different purposes.
## Data structures
- [parray](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html#parray) - Dynamically managed arrays & stacks
- [pccl](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html#pccl) - Character-classes
- [plex](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html#plex) - Lexical analysis
- [plist](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html#plist) - Linked lists, hash-tables, queues & stacks
- [pregex](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html#pregex) - Regular expressions
## Generic helpers
- [DEBUG-facilities](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html#ptrace) - Logging, tracing and run-time analysis
- [pgetopt](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html#fn_pgetopt) - Command-line options interpreter
- [pstr*, pwcs*](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html#pstr) - Enhanced string operations
## Command-line tools
- [pdoc](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html#c_pdoc) - C source code documentation tool
- [pinclude](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html#c_pinclude) - Generate big files from various smaller ones
- [plex](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html#c_plex) - Lexical analyzer generator and interpreter
- [pproto](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html#c_pproto) - C function prototype generator
- [pregex](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html#c_pregex) - Regular expressions match/find/split/replace
- [ptest](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html#c_ptest) - C program test facilities
## Documentation
A recently updated, [full documentation can be found here](https://raw.githack.com/phorward/libphorward/master/doc/phorward.html), and is also locally available after installation.
## Building
Building *phorward* is simple as every GNU-style open source program. Extract the downloaded release tarball or clone the source repository into a directory of your choice.
Then, run
```bash
./configure
make
make install
```
And you're ready to go!
### Alternative development build
Alternatively, there is also a simpler method for setting up a local build system for development and testing purposes.
To do so, type
```bash
make -f Makefile.gnu make_install
make
```
This locally compiles the library or parts of it, and is ideal for development purposes.
### Stand-alone copy
The entire library including its tools can be made available in one target directory by using the script `./standalone.sh`.
This makes stand-alone integration of the entire library into other projects possible without a previous installation or porting, and easier maintainable packages.
The generated stand-alone package contains a `Makefile` and can directly be built.
