# libowfat
|
|
|
|
libowfat is a library of general purpose APIs extracted from Dan Bernstein's software, reimplemented and covered by the GNU General Public License Version 2 (no later versions).
|
|
The API has been slightly extended (for example, I provide a uint32_read function, and I extended the socket API to support IPv6) where I found it necessary or beneficial in a specific project.
|
|
Many of the functions I implement here have since been placed in the public domain, so there are other sources to get this code (except for my extensions obviously).
|
|
The implementations here may not be as portable as the original versions; I tend to focus on the Single Unix Specification and not on some obsolete legacy systems found in the basements of some vintage hardware clubs.
|
|
I also provide man pages for many functions, mostly extracted from Dan's web documentation or documentation found in earlier versions of his software.
|
|
For some reason, he abandoned man pages in favor of HTML recently.
|
|
On July 4 2002, Dan also placed his DNS routines and supporting low level functions in the public domain, so I copy them here instead of reimplementing them.
