4.3.1

This is Gwenhywfar, a multi-platform helper library for networking and security applications and libraries. It is heavily used by Libchipcard and OpenHBCI-TNG (The Next Generation).

Features

This library is written in C, and it follows the object-oriented programming paradigm for most of its parts. The header files can directly be used from C++, too.

Gwenhywfar includes the following features:

• Basic Data types for binary buffers, linked lists, error objects, string lists (src/base/), buffered IO operations (src/io/)
• OS abstraction functions for directory and Internet address handling (src/os/)
• extensive data type and function collections for Inter-Process communication (IPC, in src/ipc/ and src/impl/ipc/)
• High-level cryptographic functions on top of OpenSSL functionality (src/crypt/)
• High-level functions for parsing XML-like files and accessing them like a hierarchical database (src/parser/)
