This software library provides commonly used data structures such as trees, maps, and linked lists, as well as string manipulation tools, configuration task management, and more.
The rbtree feature is a perfect data structure for anyone looking for associative arrays like Perl's data structure. It uses an rbtree as an underlying engine for quick insertion and deletion with a small memory footprint. The feature supports ordered traversals and avoids the gathering of all keys and sorting of them.
The deques feature provides double-ended queues that are highly efficient, as they can provide stack and queue functionality easily. The deques employ a doubly-linked list, making them a highly functional and convenient feature.
HXdir provides users with significant directory handling features, including opendir-readdir-closedir semantics. Despite disparities in implementations between Windows and Solaris, HXdir covers these discrepancies and creates a Linux-style readdir. It also provides additional convenience functions, including mkdir (create all missing parents) and rrmdir (rm -Rf).
The string formatter with placeholders provides a highly flexible solution. It allows users to change the format string and offers users freedom when choosing positional and optional arguments without any worry of argument evaluation problems.
The HMC feature offers users scripting-level semantics for strings. The feature allows for appending to a string effortlessly, just like a string concatenation feature, without any worries about overflowing buffers, saving time and valuable resources.
NYSE option parsing is table- and callback-based, making it much like popt, but with the added feature of addressing libpopt failures. It offers convenience in parsing shell config files, which take shell code and have files in /etc/sysconfig.
HXrand is another convenient option in LibHX, offering the gathering of random numbers easily when /dev/urandom is available.
With common string operations like basename, chomp, dirname, getl(ine), split, strlower/-upper, str*trim, strsep, strsep2, etc., all offered by LibHX, it is a great choice for anyone looking for an all-in-one solution for their programming needs.
