Description

This is a collection of potentially useful c++ routines and objects for some common needs. The library should compile on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Contents:

buffer.hpp/cpp
- Provides a means to read/write standard integral and string types to a memory buffer
color.hpp/cpp
- A generic color object, primarily intended to be used with image.hpp/cpp
console.hpp/cpp
- Routines to generate the standard escape sequences for console manipulation (colors, cursor position,etc)
filemap.hpp/cpp
- Memory maps files into the address space
image.hpp/cpp
- A generic bitmap object and routine to save/import from non compressed bmp files.
netutil.hpp/cpp
- Generic object/routines for network access: initialize/shutdown network(Windows only), errormessage (used by sock.hpp/cpp)
numinc.hpp
- A simple number generator for one up counts. Allows for a max value. Useful for serial number generation of objects.
random.hpp
- This is a third party (not developed by myself) template for generating random numbers. It has its own license.
sock.hpp/cpp
- Is a generic socket class for network operations: send,receive,connect,etc.
strutil.hpp
- Provides multitude of methods to operate on strings: lower,upper,trim,parse,split,dump,etc.
timer.hpp/cpp
- Simple timer object
