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. - -This page was last modified: 2011-01-15 16:41 UTC libHX.sf.net - -# Generated using `w3m -dump libhx.sf.net` and slightly editing it. -- cgit v1.2.3
