| | 16 | Description: A library of miscellaneous stuff |
| | 17 | The mLib library provides various handy utilities, including |
| | 18 | * yet another options parser, like GNU getopt but more so; |
| | 19 | * a simple but efficient universal hashing family; |
| | 20 | * a suite for writing event-driven select-based servers; |
| | 21 | * a simple exception-handling system, based on longjmp; |
| | 22 | * dynamically resizing strings and arrays; |
| | 23 | * a resizing hashtable; |
| | 24 | * base64 and hex encoding and decoding; and |
| | 25 | * a simple background DNS resolver. |
| | 26 | . |
| | 27 | Not all of the features of mLib are available (or, indeed, very useful) in |
| | 28 | Python. For example, Python has its own exception system, and different |
| | 29 | ideas about how strings work. |
