StarLet

A small C library of OpenVMS-style building blocks: the common base of our packages.

Version	1.7.x (the latest tag v1.7.1; 1.7.2 in progress)
Status	Active development
Platforms	Linux, Windows (MinGW); x86-64 and ARMv8
Licence	Apache License 2.0
For whom	C developers who need logging, message catalogues, command line parsing and FAO.

What it is

Portable C11. Modules: utility_routines (the $LOG log, $PUTMSG_FAO message catalogues, ASCIC strings, base64, CRC-32, option parsing, queues, patterns), avproto (a binary TLV protocol), cli_routines (DCL-style command line parsing) and starlet (counterparts of OpenVMS system services: FAO formatting, binary time). The return status follows the OpenVMS convention: the low bit means success.

Why

BroProxy, MSCP-Hub, AlphaEmu, yaVTERM, vHELP and the other packages depend on it.

Quick start Using it from CMake

add_subdirectory(external/utility_routines)
add_executable(my_app main.c)
target_link_libraries(my_app PRIVATE starlet)   # the headers come with the target
