Back to search · Project homepage

Description

The bstring library is an attempt to provide improved string processing functionality to the C language. At the heart of the bstring library (Bstrlib for short) is the management of bstrings which are a significant improvement over NULL terminated char buffers. This is a fork of Paul Hsieh's Better String Library: https://bstring.sourceforge.net/
