libutil

libutil is a lightweight library to be included locally in projects that is intended to provide common portable extensions to the C standard library.

Components

Component	Description	Standard
alloc	Memory allocation wrapper functions
base32	Encode or decode Base32
base64	Encode or decode Base64
crypt	General cryptography functions
endian	Endianness related functions
error	Error reporting functions
fnv	FNV hashing algorithms
map	Generic hashmap data structure
mode	Parse numeric or symbolic POSIX modes
optget	Parse command line options
rc2	RC2 encryption algorithm	RFC 2268
strconv	String conversion functions
util	Base typedefs and macros

Note that util.h is required by many other libutil components.

Usage

libutil is being developed on x86-64 Linux, is untested elsewhere, and some components may depend on POSIX provided functionality.

libutil source files are intended to be built directly into projects, rather than being compiled seperately and linked.

Dependencies

• CMake >= 3.12, to build

Building

To build libutil and its unit tests on UNIX, run BuildUNIX.sh.

• Binaries will be located in the bin directory.
• Libraries will be located in the lib directory.

Testing

To run libutil unit tests on UNIX, run TestUNIX.sh once built.
