From libfirestring(3):
|
|
|
|
"libfirestring is a string handling library that provides
|
|
maximum length aware string handling functions to programs.
|
|
Several functions provide saner interfaces than the standard
|
|
libc functions. libfirestring also provides functions that
|
|
are in most libc's but not provided for by ANSI C, enabling
|
|
programmers to write ANSI C-compliant code while using such
|
|
safe functions (strcasecmp, strncasecmp, snprintf).
|
|
|
|
libfirestring provides a set of functions for dealing with
|
|
EStrings. EStrings are binary-safe objects that, when used
|
|
with the firestring functions, are overflow safe, because
|
|
they include allocated memory size information with them.
|
|
|
|
libfirestring also includes functions for dealing with
|
|
reading configuration files in an easy to program fashion."
