libfirestring(3)

NAME
libfirestring - library for safe, fast string handling

SYNOPSIS
#include <firestring.h>
-lfirestring

DESCRIPTION
libfirestring is a string handling library that provides maximum length aware string handling functions to programs. Several functions provide saner interfaces than the standard libc functions. libfirestring also provides functions that are in most libc's but not provided for by POSIX, enabling programmers to write POSIX-compliant code while using such safe functions (strcasecmp, strncasecmp, snprintf). libfirestring also includes functions for dealing with reading configuration files in an easy to program fashion.

Miscellaneous functions:
firestring_malloc(3)
firestring_realloc(3)

String functions:
firestring_strdup(3)
firestring_strncpy(3)
firestring_strncat(3)
firestring_snprintf(3)
firestring_strncasecmp(3)
firestring_strcasecmp(3)
firestring_concat(3)
firestring_chomp(3)
firestring_chug(3)

Configuration file functions:
firestring_conf_parse(3)
firestring_conf_add(3)
firestring_conf_find(3)
firestring_conf_find_next(3)
firestring_conf_free(3)
