13 | Description: A library of miscellaneous stuff |
14 | The mLib library provides various handy utilities, including |
15 | * yet another options parser, like GNU getopt but more so; |
16 | * a simple but efficient universal hashing family; |
17 | * a suite for writing event-driven select-based servers; |
18 | * a simple exception-handling system, based on longjmp; |
19 | * dynamically resizing strings and arrays; |
20 | * a resizing hashtable; |
21 | * base64 and hex encoding and decoding; and |
22 | * a simple background DNS resolver. |

24 | Not all of the features of mLib are available (or, indeed, very useful) in |
25 | Python. For example, Python has its own exception system, and different |
26 | ideas about how strings work. |
