CGL - A CGI Library in ANSI C

FEATURES

• Written in ANSI C.
• Clean interface.
• Should run on all Unixes; used on Open/Free/NetBSD, Solaris 2.5.1+, Tru64 4.0D+, Linux, and once I believe, on AIX.
• Default data limits for safety; but all are run-time configurable. No hard limits on number of name-value pairs, or the sizes of either.
• Data structures can be used for other things such as hashed indexes (for an associative array-like behaviour).
• Some additional functions (like string growing) to make CGI writing in C easier.
• BSD license.

DEFICIENCIES

• No file upload support. To be added in my copious free time; or when I really need it.
• Should be packaged for Free/OpenBSD ports tree.
• Any bugs I haven't yet found.

BUILD

• download cgl-1.2.tgz
• gunzip -c cgl-1.2.tgz | tar xvf -
• cd cgl-1.2
• ./Setup
• cd into created object directory (e.g. cd obj/linux-i586-gcc)
• edit Makefile if need to change paths or anything
• make

USE

• read testcgl.c for example.
• read doc/cgl.txt for detailed description.
• copy libcgl.a and cgl.h to local lib and include, or set compiler (-I and -L flags) to point to the directories where they can be found.
• include cgl.h.
• link against libcgl.a.
