1. Introduction
---------------

With this library we provide useful data structures and algorithms for common
programmatic tasks in the C language. By design the features are divided into
modules to minimize the library footprint. Using the build files you can create
a static and a shared lib containing all modules, but you may also use the UCX
sources in your project and compile specific modules by yourself to further
minimize the footprint, e.g. when you need lists, but do not need hash maps.


2. Build
--------

The build processes requires executing a simple configure script and calling
make. You can clone the repository or download the sources from SourceForge.

    wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/ucx/files/ucx-latest.tar.gz
    tar -xzf ucx-latest.tar.gz
    cd ucx-latest

Then execute ./configure with the options you like. You can get a list of
all available options with ./configure --help. The recommended configuration
for production builds is ./configure --release.

    ./configure --release
    make
    make check                 # only available when built with tests
    sudo make install

3. Documentation

The code uses doxygen source code documentation. A html version of the
documentation is also available here:
