Detailed Description

    Template Software for the UNIX Operating System

The philosophy of UNIXSTL (http://unixstl.org/) is essentially the same as that of the STLSoft (http://stlsoft.org/) organisation: providing robust and lightweight software to the UNIX development community. UNIXSTL provides template-based software that builds on that provided by UNIX and STLSoft in order to reduce programmer effort and increase robustness in the use of the UNIX.

Namespaces

The UNIXSTL namespace unixstl is actually an alias for the namespace stlsoft::unixstl_project, and as such all the UNIXSTL project components actually reside within the stlsoft namespace. However, there is never any need to use the stlsoft::unixstl_project namespace in your code, and you should always use the alias unixstl.

Dependencies

As with all parts of the STLSoft libraries, there are no dependencies on UNIXSTL binary components and no need to compile UNIXSTL implementation files; UNIXSTL is 100% header-only!

As with most of the STLSoft sub-projects, UNIXSTL depends only on:

• Selected headers from the C standard library, such as wchar.h
• Selected headers from the C++ standard library, such as new, functional
• Selected header files of the STLSoft main project
• The header files particular to the technology area, in this case the UNIX library headers, such as dirent.h
• The binary (static and dynamic libraries) components particular to the technology area, in this case the UNIX libraries that ship with the operating system and your compiler(s)
