Introduction (中文)
TBOX is a glib-like cross-platform C library that is simple to use yet powerful in nature.
The project focuses on making C development easier and provides many modules (.e.g stream, coroutine, regex, container, algorithm ...), so that any developer can quickly pick it up and enjoy the productivity boost when developing in C language.
It supports the following platforms: Windows, Macosx, Linux, Android, iOS, *BSD and etc.
And it provides many compiling options using xmake:
- Release: Disable debug information, assertion, memory checking and enable optimization.
- Debug: Enable debug information, assertion, memory checking and disable optimization.
- Small: Disable all extensional modules and enable space optimization.
- Micro: compiling micro library (~64K) for the embed system.

Features
The stream library
- Supports file, data, http and socket source
- Supports the stream filter for gzip, charset and...
- Implements stream transfer
- Implements the static buffer stream for parsing data
- Supports coroutine and implements asynchronous operation
The coroutine library
- Provides high-performance coroutine switch

The libc library
- Implements lightweight libc library interfaces, the interface name contains
tb_xxxprefix for avoiding conflict - Implements strixxx strrxxx wcsixxx wcsrxxx interface extension
- Optimizes some frequently-used interface, .e.g. memset, memcpy, strcpy ...
