ITP: libflux
>From the README:
Flux (or libflux, or fluxlib) is a mexican/norwegian army knife library,
whose ultimate goal is to reduce C programming to some kind of simple
scripting affair. To this end, it supplies high-level functions for
manipulating data and communication with specialized handles, masking
typically tedious programming tasks. Common instruction blocks are wrapped
in
higher-level calls with intuitive names. In short: Do it once, do it
right,
then forget about it.
Abstracting things this way involves speed compromises. In Flux, these
should
be minimal, and sometimes, when superiour algorithms are easily
accessible,
efficiency is actually gained.
Another important goal is bridging gaps between typical tasks - like
parsing,
storage, retrieval, buffering and transfer, data structures - like generic
tree structures, generic network structures, XML and presentation formats,
and protocols - like FluxComm, Unix protocols and IRC.
