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

With this library we provide useful data structures and algorithms for common
programmatic tasks in the C language. Using the build files you can create
a static and a shared lib containing all units, but you may also use the UCX
sources in your project and compile specific units by yourself.

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

For Windows builds there is Visual Studio Solution available in the msvc
directory.

3. Documentation
----------------

Documentation is available at:

  https://ucx.sourceforge.io

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