Description

This is 9libs, a package of Plan 9 compatibility libraries derived from the X11 version of Rob Pike's editor, sam. The package consists of: * libXg, an X11 implementation of Plan 9's libg graphics library. The library's declarations are in include/libg.h * libframe, a library which implements rectangular text areas using libXg. Declarations are in include/frame.h * libplan9c, a library which aims to provide implementations of some of the more general-purpose parts of the Plan 9 C library. This includes the libregexp library from recent sam distributions. Declarations are in include/u.h and include/libc.h, which are the first things included by Plan 9 C files. Declarations for the regular expression components of the library are in regexp.h. * Documentation for the libraries, as manual pages in the doc directory.
