- [ This is an update of the string library Henry posted to net.sources
- some time ago. It is different from a recent library published in
- volume 4 in these two respects:
- 1. It comes with a fairly exhaustive test program, which it passes.
- 2. It does not invent new functions; it implements the union of those
- described in X3J11, the SVID, etc., and nothing else.
- It would be nice if everyone -- vendors, users -- put the "missing"
- functions into their C library, and we could all live in harmony,
- but I suspect that's wishful thinking. (Yeah, yeah: efficiency, too.)
- This is also excempted from my mandatory manpage requirement, for
- reasons mentioned and alluded to in the second paragraph of the README
- file. --r$ ]
