libfirestring is a string handling library that provides
|
|
maximum length aware string handling functions to programs.
|
|
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, strncasecmp, snprintf).
|
|
|
|
libfirestring also includes functions for dealing with
|
|
reading configuration files in an easy to program fashion.
|
|
|
|
This library uses long long, which is part of the C99 standard
|
|
(previously a GNU extension). Your compiler needs to support
|
|
this in order for FireString to work.
