libsimple.h includes most POSIX header files so you do need to include lots of
headers in your code, and defines macros and functions that are useful for most
programs and libraries to simplify the code. It also provides *_MIN and *_MAX
values for integer data types.
Most functions are namespaced with `libsimple_` and aliased with macro
definitions to unnamespaced names unless there already is a macro with that
name.
Programs using this library should define `char *argv0` and set it to
the 0:th command line argument.
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW is defined to CLOCK_MONOTONIC unless CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
already exists.
AF_LOCAL, AF_UNIX, AF_FILE, PF_LOCAL, PF_UNIX, and PF_FILE are defined to
appropriate values provided that AF_LOCAL, AF_UNIX, or AF_FILE is already
defined.
The following macros are defined, unless already defined:
MIN(A, B)
Select the least of two values.
MAX(A, B)
Select the greatest of two values.
MIN3(A, B, C)
Select the least of three values.
MAX3(A, B, C)
Select the greatest of three values.
ELEMSOF(ARR)
Gets the number of elements in an array.
STRLEN(STR)
Gets the length of a string literal.
INTSTRLEN(TYPE)
Gets the maximum length any value with the integer type TYPE can
have in base 10.
TYPE_MAX(TYPE)
Get the greatest value storable in an integer type.
TYPE_MIN(TYPE)
Get the least value storable in an integer type.
FREE(PTR)
(free(PTR), (PTR) = NULL, 0)
Ensures that a pointer is not freed twiced.
CLOSE(FD)
((FD) >= 0 ? (close(FD), (FD) = -1, 0) : 0)
Ensures that errno is not modified when closing an
already closed file descriptor.
Maximum values:
BLKCNT64_MAX, BLKCNT_MAX, BLKSIZE_MAX, CC_MAX, CLOCKID_MAX,
