From libfirestring(3):
|
|
|
|
"libfirestring is a string handling library that provides
|
|
maximum length aware string handling functions to pro-
|
|
grams. Several functions provide saner interfaces than
|
|
the standard libc functions. libfirestring also provides
|
|
functions that are in most libc's but not provided for by
|
|
ANSI C, enabling programmers to write ANSI C-compliant
|
|
code while using such safe functions (strcasecmp, strn-
|
|
casecmp, snprintf).
|
|
|
|
libfirestring provides a set of functions for dealing with
|
|
EStrings. EStrings are binary-safe objects that, when
|
|
used with the firestring functions, are overflow safe,
|
|
because they include allocated memory size information
|
|
with them.
|
|
|
|
libfirestring also includes functions for dealing with
|
|
reading configuration files in an easy to program fashion."
