- manx is distributed in a single compressed file manxRL.zip; R and L
- would be the release and level numbers, respectively. The ZIP data
- compression utilities are needed to extract the individual files.
-
- The following files are obtained by decompressing manxRL.zip:
-
- manx.rme preliminary information
- manx.c manx source code
- manx.frm manual entry form
-
- The original file manxRL.zip should be saved if you wish to pass on
- copies of manx. Please do not distribute manx as individual files,
- or in an incomplete or altered form.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- MANX
-
- The manx utility extracts manual entries from source files. The files
- are read from stdin and the manual entries are written to stdout.
- Each individual manual entry is broken into pages separated by form
- feeds and terminated with a form feed. The manx manual entry located
- in manx.c contains a more detailed description. For additional
- information on manx, see the article "manx - A Tool for Function
- Documentation," which will appear in a future issue of "COMPUTER
- LANGUAGE."
-
- The manx utility was written for cbase, a C database library developed
- at Citadel. The current version of cbase as well as manx can be
- downloaded from the Citadel BBS 317-647-2403.

- $ cat manx.c | manx > manx.man
- $ lp manx.man
-
- MS-DOS
- 1. Compile manx.
- > tcc -O -mt manx.c
- 2. Place manx in a directory in the path.
- > copy manx.exe \bin

- | cbase - C database library |
- | Version 1.0 |
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- cbase is a C database file management library. B+-trees are used for
- indexed and sequential record access. cbase features a truly modular
- design and provides a logical and consistent interface. The figure
- below shows the individual libraries included with cbase and their
- relationships. Each of these is complete and may be used
- independently.

-
- cbase and Underlying Libraries
-
- cbase - C database library
- btree - B+-tree file management library
- lseq - doubly linked sequential file management library
- blkio - block buffered input/output library
-
- Extremely portable:
- - Written in strict adherence to ANSI C standard.
- - K&R C compatibility maintained.
- - All operating system dependent code is isolated to a small portion
- of the blkio library to make porting to new systems easy.
- - All source code is included.
- - UNIX and MS-DOS currently supported.*
- Completely buffered:
- - Both records and indexes are buffered using LRU (least recently
- used) buffering.
- Fast and efficient sequential access:
- - Records are stored in doubly linked lists for non-keyed sequential
- access.
- - Indexes are stored in B+-trees to allow keyed sequential access.
- - Both types of sequential access are bidirectional.
- Fast and efficient random access:
- - B+-trees are used for inverted file key storage.
- - Multiple keys are supported.
- - Both unique and duplicate keys are supported.
-
