PUBLIB(3pub)

💖 NAME 💖

publib — the lil intro page to the whole publib situation, bestie. like the vibe-check of the library fr fr 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <publib.h>

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so publib is literally a library of C functions that are useful in, like, so many programs. no cap. it's giving "extension to the Standard C library" energy — specifically the one defined by the ISO/ANSI C standard 9899-1990. 💅

so when you wanna use these functions you gotta do two things, bestie, don't skip steps:

• #include <publib.h> — yes queen, include the header ✨
• link with the libpub.a library. adding -lpub at the end of your link command should work, if the library has been installed properly. (emphasis on if, iykyk 😭)

and the library is out here providing functions for all of this iconic stuff:

• string and memory area manipulation 🌸
• memory allocation 🧚
• I/O 💜
• comparison functions for qsort, bsearch, and others 👑
• expression evaluation 🔥

like, it's a whole meal. ate. periodt. 💖
