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 ANSI C, enabling programmers to write ANSI C-compliant code while using such safe functions (strcasecmp, strncasecmp, snprintf). libfirestring provides a set of functions for dealing with EStrings. EStrings are binary-safe objects that, when used with the firestring functions, are overflow safe, because they include allocated memory size information with them. libfirestring also includes functions for dealing with reading configuration files in an easy to program fashion.

Miscellaneous functions:
firestring_malloc(3)
firestring_realloc(3)
