LibUCW

What's that?

+ LibUCW is a general-purpose C library providing both implementation of common algorithms (like sorting, heaps), + support for performance computing (fast buffered IO) and some generic data structures. + In short, it is a library of things the authors consider useful in most of programs written in C. +

+ As a bonus, there is a build system you can use in your program, documentation system and few perl modules. +

+ It is developed as part of the Sherlock Holmes search engine. +

Features

Fast buffered IO +
Memory pools +
Internal and external sorting routines +
Generic data structures (heaps, search trees, growing buffers) +
Unicode manipulation +
Main loop (watching over file descriptors, sub-processes and timers) +
Thread support +
Configuration system +
Modular system for configure scripts +
Build system +
Documentation system +

Additional libraries

+ The package contains few other libraries which you might find useful. + You can build & install libUCW with them or without. + However they are not documented and are more specific. +

libcharset – allows manipulation with character sets. +
libsh – the Sherlock Holmes library. It contains some routines for storing large amounts of data and alike. +
liblang – guessing of text language. +
libimages – manipulation with images. +

License

+ The library is available under the terms of GNU Lesser Public License (LGPL) with the exception of few modules, which are in public domain. +

+ There is also a commercial version of the library, available with the commercial version of Sherlock Holmes. + However, unlike the Sherlock Holmes, the commercial version of library does not come with additional features. +

Authors

+ The library is developed together with Sherlock Holmes by the same authors. Most of it was written by Martin Mare¹, Robert ©palek, Pavel Charvát and Michal Vaner. +

Download

+ Currently, version 4.0 is available. +

+ You can download it via HTTP or via FTP. +

Documentation

+ Although the documentation is not yet complete, you can browse the part which is already written. You can compile the same documentation from the package. +

Reporting bugs

+ All reports about bugs, inconveniences or ideas for new features are welcome at holmes-bugs@ucw.cz. Patches implementing them are welcome even more ;-). +

+ If you use the library to your pleasure, the authors will be glad to hear that at the same address. +
