-libHX is a C library (with some C++ bindings available) that provides data
-structures and functions commonly needed, such as maps, deques, linked lists,
-string formatting and autoresizing, option and config file parsing, type
-checking casts and more.
-
-libHX aids in quickly writing up C and C++ data processing programs, by
-consolidating tasks that often happen to be open-coded, such as (simple) config
-file reading, option parsing, directory traversal, and others, into a library.
-The focus is on reducing the amount of time (and secondarily, the amount of
-code) a developer has to spend for otherwise implementing such.
-
-
-Components (by all means not all)
-
-  • Documentation (see doc/libHX_Documentation.pdf)
-
-  • maps/sets (HXmap_*)
-
-    Originally created to provide a data structure like Perl's associative
-    arrays. Multiple models and underlying storage data structures are
-    available (unordered hash-based map, ordered rbtree).
-
-  • linked lists (HXdeque_*, HXlist_*, HXclist_*)
-
-    Doubly-linked lists are suitable for both providing stack and queue
-    functionality. Different implementations are available for use, depending
-    on situation.
-
-  • directory handling (HXdir_*)
-
-    HXdir provides for opendir-readdir-closedir semantics. Windows uses a
-    different kind, so it had to be naturally covered up. On the other hand,
-    Solaris's readdir() implementation is nasty in terms of memory management.
-    HXdir covers up these discrepancies and provides a sane Linux-style
-    readdir.
-
-    Convenience functions mkdir (create all missing parents), rrmdir (rm -Rf)
-    are also available.
-
-  • string formatter with placeholders (HXformat_*)
-
-    HXformat is something in the direction of printf(), but the argument list
-    is not implemented by means of varargs, so is flexible even beyond compile
-    time. You can change the format string — in fact, just let the user
-    configuration provide it — without having to worry about argument
-    evaluation problems. Positional and optional arguments are simply freely
-    choosable.
-
-  • memory containers, auto-sizing string ops (HXmc_*)
-
-    At the cost of slightly increased number memory allocations as you work
-    with the buffers, the hmc collection of functions provide scripting-level
-    semantics for strings. Appending to a string is simply hmc_strcat(&s,
-    "123") [cf. $s .= "123"], without having to worry about overflowing a
-    buffer.
-
-  • option parsing (HXoption_*)
-
-    Put blunt, libpopt failed to do some elementary things and there was no
-    maintainer to fix it. Well, it's packaged with rpm which already diverged
-    in all distros.
-    HXoption is table- and callback-based, much like popt.
-
-  • shellconfig parser (HXshconfig_*)
-
-    Parsers shconfig files. Their format is a subset of shell code. Files in /
-    etc/sysconfig are commonly shconfig-style.
-
-  • common string operations
-
-    basename, chomp, dirname, getl(ine), split, strlower/-upper, str*trim,
-    strsep, strsep2, etc.
