Libite (-lite)is alightweightlibrary of frogDNA. It can beused to fillthe gaps in anydinosaurproject. Itholds usefulfunctions andmacrosdeveloped byboth Finit andthe OpenBSDproject. Mostnotably thestringfunctions:strlcpy(3),strlcat(3) andthe highlyuseful *BSDsys/queue.h andsys/tree.hAPI's. Libite aims tofill in thegaps missing inGLIBC/EGLIBC.(It does notaimo to becomeanother GLIBthough.) Onesuch gap inGLIBC is themissing _SAFEmacros insys/queue.h —highly rec

libConfuse is aconfigurationfile parserlibrary,licensed underthe terms ofthe ISClicense, andwritten in C.It supportssections and(lists of)values(strings,integers,floats,booleans orothersections), aswell as someother features(such assingle/double-quotedstrings,environmentvariableexpansion,functions andnested includestatements). Itmakes it veryeasy to addconfigurationfile capabilityto a programusing a simpleAPI. The goalof libConfuseis not to bethe configura
libtmt is theTiny MockTerminalLibrary. Itprovidesemulation of aclassic smarttext terminal,by maintainingan in-memoryscreen image.Sending textand commandsequences tolibtmt causesit to updatethis in-memoryimage, whichcan then beexamined andrenderedhowever theuser sees fit. libtmt issimilar inpurpose tolibtsm, butconsiderablysmaller (500lines versus6500 lines).libtmt is also,in thisauthor'shumble opinion,considerablyeasier to use.

bigz is asimple butfeature-rich Clibrary forbignumcalculations.It's thecontinuation ofan old BigNumprojectoriginallybegun as aresearchproject.Currentreleasesinclude manyfixes,extensions andimprovements.It's notas efficient asGMP, but comeswith a smallerfootprint,provides Z+Qinfiniteprecision, andis ratherportable andmulti-threadsafe.
Fimex is a theFileInterpolation,Manipulation,and EXtractionlibrary forgriddedgeospatialdata. Itconvertsbetweendifferent,extensible dataformats(currentlynetcdf, NcML,grib1/2, metgm,wdb, and felt).It enables youto change theprojection andinterpolationof scalar andvector grids.It makes itpossible tosubset thegridded dataand to extractonly parts ofthe files. Thelibrary iswritten inC/C++ and asextensions toFortran and R.For simpleusage, Fimexalso comes withthe c
Pipes is asmallabstractionlayer for PHPsiterators,providing afluent and moreconciseinterface. Itensuressequentialexecution,therebyconservingmemory for anyactions/callbacksthat onlyaffect asubset.
libcfg+ is a Clibrary thatfeatures multi-command lineandconfigurationfile parsing.It is possibleto set upvarious specialproperties such as quotingcharacters,deliminator strings, filecommentprefixes,multi-line postfixes, andmore. Itsupports manydata typessuch asbooleans,integers,decimal numbers,strings withmany additionaldata typeflags (such asmultiple valuesfor a single option).
DynaMo is asoftwarelibraryprovidingclasses thattake care ofthe calculationof the motionsof objectsunder theinfluence offorce, torque,and impulse. Itcan alsocompute forcesfor you throughthe mechanismof constraints.These allow youto easilyconnectgeometries toeach other invarious ways. Aconstraint onlyhas to bespecified once,and the librarywillcontinuallyenforce it fromthat moment onby applying therequiredreactionforces. Over adozenconstraintsavailable,includi
