manpagename(Bobcat)(Overview of classes in the Bobcat library)

manpagedescription()

The classes of the bf(Bobcat) library may be used after including
tt(bobcat/classname) in sources.

Generally, programs using the bf(Bobcat) library must be at least linked
against the bf(Bobcat) library. Refer to section bf(LINKING) for more
informatin about linking programs to required libraries.

All classes and other elements are defined in the tt(FBB) namespace. For some
classes em(manipulators) are available, which are defined in the tt(FBB)
namespace. An overview of all manipulators defined in the tt(FBB) namespace is
provided by tt(man -e bobcat manipulators).

Beyond this section the section bf(CATEGORIES) groups classes that
somehow belong together in various categories.

The following classes and functions are available:

    bf(FBB::Align): Specifies tt(Table(Buf)) column and element
    alignments.nl()
    Manpage(align)

    bf(FBB::Arg): Interfaces the command line arguments, allowing for
    short- and long options. The class is implemented as a tt(Singleton).nl()
    Manpage(arg)

    bf(FBB::ArgConfig): Inherits from tt(Arg) and tt(ConfigFile) allowing for
    options to be specified as command line options and/or configuration file
    options.  The class is implemented as a tt(Singleton).nl()
    Manpage(argconfig)

    bf(FBB::A2x): Ascii-to-x conversions of any type supporting extractions
    from tt(i[string]stream) objects.
    Manpage(a2x)

    bf(FBB::BigInt): Wrapper class around the openssl BN_ functions for
    unlimited integer precision arithmetic. nl()
    Manpage(bigint)

    bf(FBB::binary_search): A modification of the STL tt(binary_search)
    algorithm returning the location of the searched value in a sorted series
    of values. nl()
    Manpage(binarysearch)

    bf(FBB::BinOps): A series of function templates implementing binary
    operators for classes that implement the matching binary assignment
    operators themselves. nl()
    Manpage(binops)

    bf(FBB::BinOpsBase): A class template implementing binary
    operators and compound assignment operators for classes that themselves
    implement swap members and members implementing the basic binary operation
    on objects of their class types themselves. nl()
    Manpage(binopsbase)

    bf(FBB::CerrExtractor): Executes child processes not expecting input but
    maybe writing its standard error stream. nl()
    Manpage(cerrextractor)

    bf(FBB::CGI): a class implementing the facilities accessing the data made
    available through the Common Gateway Interface.nl()
    Manpage(cgi)

    bf(FBB::Cidr): a class testing whether IP4 Internet addresses belong to
    address ranges defined by Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) address
    block specifications.nl()
    Manpage(cidr)

    bf(FBB::CinInserter): Executes child processes expecting input but not
    producing standard output. nl()
    Manpage(cininserter)

    bf(FBB::ClientSocket): a socket for tcp-communication with a server.nl()
    Manpage(clientsocket)

    bf(FBB::CmdFinder): Command-function associations.nl()
    Manpage(cmdfinder)

    bf(FBB::CmdFinderBase): Base class for tt(CmdFinder).nl()
    Manpage(cmdfinderbase)

    bf(FBB::Config): Processing standard configuration files.nl()
    Manpage(config)

    bf(FBB::ConfigFile): Processing standard configuration files (deprecated,
    use bf(Config)).nl()
    Manpage(configfile)

    bf(FBB::CoutExtractor): Executes child processes not expecting input but
    maybe producing standard output. nl()
    Manpage(coutextractor)

    bf(FBB::CSVTable): Construct tables row-by-row.nl()
    Manpage(csvtable)

    bf(FBB::CSV4180): Objects of this class allow for easy handling of
    comma-separated values (implements RFC 4180).nl()
    Manpage(csv4180)

    bf(FBB::DateTime): Manipulations with date and time values.nl()
    Manpage(datetime)

manpagesection(LINKING)

    To link programs against the shared bf(Bobcat) library (e.g.,
tt(libbobcat5.so)) it is usually sufficient to merely specify
tt(-lbobcat). E.g.,
        verb(
    g++ --std=c++2a main.cc -lbobcat
        )

    Note: libraries that are indirectly required are no longer automatically
linked to your program. With some classes (e.g., tt(BigInt)) the tt(libcrypto)
library must also be specified, and programs using such classes must be linked
against tt(bobcat) and tt(crypto):
        verb(
    g++ --std=c++2a main.cc -lbobcat -lcrypto
        )
    Man-pages of classes requiring additional libraries mention these
additional libraries in their bf(SYNOPSIS) sections.

    When using em(static) linking, the situation is slightly more problematic,
and no general rule can be provided here. To create a statically linked
program the flag tt(-static) must be provided, but in addition the
tt(-pthread) flag must often be specified as well. If, when statically linking
your program, undefined references to tt(pthread_...) identifiers are
reported, then that is a sure sign that you need to provide the tt(-pthread)
flag as well.

    When using static linking additional libraries, not specified at the
man-pages, may also be required. E.g., when using the tt(Xpointer) class and
using static linking, the command becomes:
        verb(
    g++  main.cc -static -pthread -lbobcat -lX11 -lxcb  -lXdmcp -lXau
        )
    When encountering undefined references when using static linking missing
libraries may be suggested by the linker or by its error
messages. Alternatively, the missing libraries may be found by searching the
Internet.
