       publib - introduction to publib

SYNOPSIS

       #include <publib.h>

DESCRIPTION

       publib  is  a  library  of  C  functions  that  are  useful in many of programs.  It is an
       extension to the Standard C library (as defined by the ISO/ANSI C standard 9899-1990).  To
       use  the  functions  in  publib,  #include  <publib.h>  and link with the libpub.a library
       (adding -lpub at the end of the  link  command  should  work,  if  the  library  has  been
       installed properly).

       The library provides functions for

            string and memory area manipulation
            memory allocation
            I/O
            comparison functions for qsort, bsearch, and others
            expression evaluation
