| 579d0169 | 15 | Description: A library of miscellaneous stuff |
| 16 | The mLib library provides various handy utilities, including | |
| 17 | * yet another options parser, like GNU getopt but more so; | |
| 18 | * a simple but efficient universal hashing family; | |
| 19 | * a suite for writing event-driven select-based servers; | |
| 20 | * a simple exception-handling system, based on longjmp; | |
| 21 | * dynamically resizing strings and arrays; | |
| 22 | * a resizing hashtable; | |
| 23 | * base64 and hex encoding and decoding; and | |
| 24 | * a simple background DNS resolver. | |
| 25 | . | |
| 579d0169 | 26 | Not all of the features of mLib are available (or, indeed, very useful) in |
| 27 | Python. For example, Python has its own exception system, and different | |
| 28 | ideas about how strings work. |
