Usage
This page con only give a shot overview about the library set.
Please consult the PDF manual for details, it contains both a reference
and a tutorial.
Additionally the
documentation created by doxygen
is available.
- dk.h
includes other header files to set preprocessor defines matching
your environment.
- dkerror.h
defines constants for error conditions.
- dktypes.h
defines data types.
- dkmem
is in charge for dynamic memory allocation.
- dksignal
provides portable signal handling.
- dkenc
has functions to change data encoding.
- dkstr
contains functions for dealing with strings.
- dkstrdc
removes trailing comments from a string.
- dksf
provides an interface to various system functions.
- dkma
contains mathematical functions, does additional checks to
avoid critical errors (i.e. 0 divisions).
- dkslsupp
converts syslog "heaviness" (feature/priority) strings into the
appropriate numeric values.
- dkss/dklog (obsoleted)
provide functions for string search and logging. These modules
are obsoleted and should not be used for new projects.
- dkbf
deals with bit fields (field of flags).
- dkstream
provides generic I/O.
- dkof
applies filtering to output streams in the generic I/O.
Filters can be used to flate or ASCII-85-encode parts of the
output and to buffer output.
- dksto
implements unsorted and sorted data storage. Sorted storage can
use AVL-trees (default) or double-linked lists.
- dkstt
provides string table handling. A string table is a binary file
containing key/value string pairs for one language.
- dkcp
has functions for handling code pages. Some systems need different bytes
i.e. to show german umlauts on a command prompt and in a text editor.
- dkapp
is the module providing application functionality (i.e. logging,
file search for localization, preference management...)
- dktcpip
gives a more convenient access to the sockets/Winsock API.
The dktrace library is needed for tracing programs when using the
tracecc and trana tools.
- dkbif
contains functions to read bitmap images and retrieve red, green, blue,
gray and alpha values of pixels.
- dkbifja
contains functions to analyze a JPEG file whether or not the dkbif library
can transfer DCT-encoded data from the JPEG file directly to an output
stream.
- dkbifpng, dkbifjpg, dkbifpbm and dkbiftif
implement the dkbif functions using libpng, JPEG library, NetPBM library
and the TIFF library.
- dkl2l
contains functions to convert ISO-LATIN-1 encoded characters into
LaTeX sequences.
- dkle
contains functions to convert 32-bit characters to LaTeX sequences.
Conversion tables in text form are used to find the LaTeX encoding for a
character.
- dkfont
provides information about the 35 well-known PS fonts. For each font we
can retrieve LaTeX and PS font name and a list of features:
- Font family type (roman, sans-serif, typewriter)
- Font features (bold, italic)
- Font family name for SVG
- GhostScript font alias name
- GhostScript font file name
Font configuration files can be used for comfortable and flexible
substitutions.
- dksdbi
provides a unique API to access BDB, NDBM and GDBM libraries.
- dksdbdb, dksdndbm and dksdgdbm
implement the functions for dksdbi using the BDB library, NDBM API
and gdbm library.
