NonlibC	100

nonlibc

Collection of standard-not-standard utilities for the discerning C programmer.

Yeah, but what does it do

The functions in this library solve or alleviate a bunch of commonplace problems/annoyances related to writing programs in C.

This is stuff not addressed in libc or GLib (or for which code therein might be overkill or disliked by the author).

The focus is on solving problems with a healthy dose of minimalism and performance (rarely orthogonal qualities, as it were).

This is not a hodgepodge - the code here is reliable and being used in the real world.

A quick rundown of the contents is available here.

A good place to see implementation details is in the test dir.

Covers building, linking and using this library; TLDR:

Set up tools, either by:
- Installing meson and gnu make on your platform
or
- entering a nix-shell

Use make, which will call meson under the hood:

make check  # build and run tests

make help  # full directory of make targets

Covers the coding style and rationale.

... covers how this documentation is structured and how to hack on it.

All pending things go there.
