*libslack* - A *UNIX/C* library of general utilities for programmers with Slack

    Slack(n.): The state in which you need nothing,

               because you already have it.

                     -- J. R. "Bob" Dobbs, 1956

DESCRIPTION

===========

*Libslack* is a library of general utilities designed to make *UNIX/C* programming

a bit easier on the eye. It is a seemingly random collection of modules and

functions that I find commonly useful.

It's a small library with lots of functionality, accurately documented and

thoroughly tested. Good library naming conventions are not rigorously observed

on the principle that common operations should always be easy to write and code

should always be easy to read.

*Libslack* contains the following modules:

    agent    - agent-oriented programming

    coproc   - coprocess using pipes or pseudo terminals

    daemon   - becoming a daemon

    err      - message/error/debug/verbosity/alert messaging

    fio      - fifo and file control and some I/O

    getopt   - GNU getopt_long() for systems that don't have it

    hsort    - generic heap sort

    lim      - POSIX.1 limits convenience functions

    link     - abstract linked lists with optional growable free lists

    list     - list (growable pointer array) data type

    locker   - abstract locking and reader/writer lock implementation

    map      - map (hash table) data type

    mem      - memory helper functions, secure memory, memory pools

    msg      - message handling and syslog helper functions

    net      - network functions (clients/servers, expect/send, pack/unpack, mail)

    prog     - program framework and flexible command line option handling

    prop     - program properties files

    pseudo   - pseudo terminals

    sig      - ISO C compliant signal handling

    snprintf - safe sprintf for systems that don't have it

    str      - string data type (tr, regex, regsub, fmt, trim, lc, uc, ...)

    vsscanf  - sscanf() with va_list argument for systems that don't have it
