The tricky part is having like a table of contents of some sort especially at the library level which is what _I think_ you are referring to. For example, to answer the question =BFwhat library should I use for X or Y need? . If you use Perl, you have the cpan search engine (and others) wher you go llook for libs. For C it is many times not tha obvious, nor is there a single repository of libraries for C as there is for say Perl. I find your question very interesting but sadly I have no direct answer myself. I think is more of "a topic" thing in C. For example if you are making a driver, you will usually be involved in mailing lists related to that, and people will share X or Y lib secrets with you. You will also hack someone else's code and look at the libs they are using, and most importangly you will have books and other stuff that will point to the use of those libs. Now whether there is a directory of C libraries around, I don't think so, but if you find one, _please_ share it ;) Best, Alejandro Imass > =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0gary > > =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0PS: =A0As if it weren't obvious, no i haven't had my morni= ng > =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0jolt of java yet.... > > > -- > =A0Gary Kline =A0kline@thought.org =A0http://www.thought.org =A0Public Se= rvice Unix > =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0http://jottings.thought.org =A0 http://transfinite.thought= .org > =A0 =A0The 7.79a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.p= hp > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.o= rg" >
