Miscutil Library

Miscutil Library


This C++ class-library allows to create, destroy and manipulate YZ files. These files allow to store and retrieve arbitary objects which are stored in a compressed format on disk. The file format is platform independent, i.e. files can be read on machines with different byte order than the machine on which files were written. Supported architectures so far are:

How to use:

These are programs written in C++. To include them in your programs specify -I/usr/local/include in the compiler flags (if you are using GNU-make this must be added to the CXXFLAGS variable) and provide -L/usr/local/lib -lmiscutil as a linking option. you will also need the "z-library" which provides the compression algorithm. Use -L/usr/local/lib -lz at ISKP. The header files must be included via
#include "miscutil/header-file.h" Refer to the header files in /usr/local/include/miscutil. There is no additional information as yet. The code can also be retrieved via ftp.

For EDDA users: use CVS instead.
