libowfat is a library of general purpose APIs extracted from Dan
|
||
|
|
Bernstein's software, reimplemented and covered by the GNU General
|
||
|
|
Public License Version 2 (no later versions).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The API has been slightly extended (for example, I provide a uint32_read
|
||
|
|
function, and I extended the socket API to support IPv6) where I found
|
||
|
|
it necessary or beneficial in a specific project.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Many of the functions I implement here have since been placed in the
|
||
|
|
public domain, so there are other sources to get this code (except for
|
||
|
|
my extensions obviously). The implementations here may not be as
|
||
|
|
portable as the original versions; I tend to focus on the Single Unix
|
||
|
|
Specification and not on some obsolete legacy systems found in the
|
||
|
|
basements of some vintage hardware clubs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I also provide man pages for many functions, mostly extracted from Dan's
|
||
|
|
web documentation or documentation found in earlier versions of his
|
||
|
|
software. For some reason, he abandoned man pages in favor of HTML
|
||
|
|
recently.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On July 4 2002, Dan also placed his DNS routines and supporting
|
||
|
|
low level functions in the public domain, so I copy them here instead of
|
||
|
|
reimplementing them. http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/280642
