Although the function is documented as possibly returning NULL if it cannot find a known source of information, we should still at least attempt to port it to any supported system, and otherwise explicitly mark it as not implementable for such systems if that was to be the case. |

libbsd - Utility functions from BSD systems This library provides useful functions commonly found on BSD systems, and lacking on others like GNU systems, thus making it easier to port projects with strong BSD origins, without needing to embed the same code over and over again on each project. A BSD compatible message-digest library is required, on systems where this is not provided by its libc or libmd libraries, the canonical implementation to use is <https://www.hadrons.org/software/libmd/>. Releases -------- <https://libbsd.freedesktop.org/releases/> Mailing List ------------ The subscription interface and web archives can be found at: <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libbsd> The mail address is: libbsd@lists.freedesktop.org Source Repository ----------------- The primary repository can be browsed at: <https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libbsd> and cloned from: <https://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/libbsd> Building from git source ------------------------ To prepare the libbsd source tree from git before starting the build process some required software needs to be installed: GNU autoconf >= 2.67 GNU automake >= 1.9 GNU libtool >= 2.0 After installing the needed software, and running the following command on the git tree: $ ./autogen the source should be roughly equivalent to the distributed tar source. Building from tar source ------------------------ The minimum software required to configure and build dpkg from a tarball is: C89 compiler make The following software might be required depending on the system: libmd (whenever the libc does not provide the needed digest functions) The build process is done by running the usual «./configure; make». To see all available configuration options please run «./configure --help».
