CFL is a C library of useful functions that simplify systems software development on System V UNIX.
The library includes routines for memory management, string parsing, filesystem traversal, subprocess execution, I/O, as well as implementations of common data structures such as linked lists, hash tables, stacks, and queues.
CFL library also includes a high-level interface to Berkeley sockets, and an implementation of a scheduler which has functionality very similar to that of the cron daemon.
This package may not compile with older versions of gcc. Version 3.3
or later is highly recommended.
Installation:
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type 'sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute `configure' itself.
Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with the package.
4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
What's New in This Release:
This release fixes a compile error on systems that lack the (obsolete) CLK_TCK macro.
