libdali: the DataLink client library
This package contains the source code, documentation and example code for libdali, the DataLink client library. For further information regarding the library interface and usage see the documentation in the 'doc' directory, including a Users Guide and man pages.
The library should work in Linux, BSD (and derivatives like macOS), Solaris and MS-Windows environments.
For installation instructions see the INSTALL file.
Building and Installing
In most Unix/Linux environments a simple 'make' will build the program.
The CC and CFLAGS environment variables can be used to configure the build parameters.
Extras
The 'example' directory includes an example DataLink client that uses libdali.
The 'doc' directory includes all associated documentation including a Users Guide and man pages for library functions.
Threading
The library is thread-safe under Unix-like environments with the condition that each connection parameter set (DLCP) is handled by a single thread. Thread independent logging schemes are possible. Under Windows the library is probably not thread-safe.
