NAME

       ustr-import - ustr string library import tool

SYNOPSIS

       ustr-import [--32|--64] [-d][d] [-c] [-b x] [-e 1|0] [-s 1|0] section

DESCRIPTION

        This tool lets you use the Ustr string library without incuring
       dependancies on the library itself, so API/ABI compatability is 100%
       (nothing changes unless you do it) and installing your application
       doesn’t require the library to be pre-installed.

OPTIONS

       --32   If you installed with multilib, this runs the 32 bit varient
              (and installs the variable multilib build code as ustr-conf.h).

       --64   If you installed with multilib, this runs the 64 bit varient
              (and installs the variable multilib build code as ustr-conf.h).

       -d     Turn debugging on, USTR_ASSERT() now runs code etc.

       -d     Turn extra debugging on, including End of String (EOS) markers
              that takeup space. Note that you can do -dd to add both at once.

       -c     Use C files, this requires that you alter the build system to
              compile the C files and link them into your application. The
              default is to just provide headers that you can just include.

       -b     Specify the default reference count byte size: 0, 1, 2 or 4 (or
              8 on 64 bit platforms). Note that 2 bytes is the minimum if you
              have explicit size storage.

       -e     Specify the default exact sized allocations flag, without this
              flag allocations are rounded up to the neared half power of two.

       -s     Specify the default explicit size storage flag, without this
              flag allocations have an implicit size based on their length
              with it a size value is stored with the string (thus taking
              significantly larger space for small strings, but this doesn’t
              require reallocating the string when growing and shrinking the
              string). Note that turning this on also increases the minimum
              sizes for length and reference count storage.

SECTIONS

       all    All of the following sections are included.

       b      Working with binary numbers in NBO format.

       cmp    Comparing, strcmp() for Ustr’s, although the Ustr versions are
              safer and much faster.

       cntl   Control options dynamically.

       fmt    Formatted output, sprintf() for Ustr’s.

       gdb    Copy just the .gdbinit file to the local dir.

       io     Input Output.

       ins    Inserting data.

       main   The core functions, including strcat(), strdup() and delete for
              Ustr’s. Always safer and often much faster.

       parse  Parsing integers, Ie. Nice versions of strtol().

       pool   A bundled memory pool API, to use with the ustrp functions.

       replace
              Replacing all occurances of data.

       sc     Shortcut functions for Ustr’s.

       set    Setting data, strcpy() for Ustr’s.

       split  Slit the data, strtok() / strsep() for Ustr’s.

       spn    Spanning, strspn() / strcspn() for Ustr’s.

       srch   Searching, strchr() / strrchr() / strstr() for Ustr’s, although
              the Ustr versions are safer and much faster.

       sub    Substituting data.

       utf8   Working with UTF8.

FILES

       /ustr/include/ustr-conf.h /ustr/include/ustr-conf-debug.h
              In multilib. this is the header to choose the correct conf.h
              header based on the byte size.

       /ustr/include/ustr*.h
              The default "extern" header files.

       /usr/share/ustr-*/ustr-*-internal.h
              Internal functions, used the implement the public interfaces.

       /usr/share/ustr-*/ustr-*-code.h
              The code behind the public interfaces.

       /usr/share/ustr-*/ustr-*-code.c
              The C files, which use the code header files to create objects.

       /usr/share/ustr-*/.gdbinit
              The GDB init file containing macros to help inspect Ustr’s in
              the debugger.
