11"libfirestring is a string handling library that provides
12maximum length aware string handling functions to programs.
13Several functions provide saner interfaces than the standard
14libc functions. libfirestring also provides functions that
15are in most libc's but not provided for by ANSI C, enabling
16programmers to write ANSI C-compliant code while using such
17safe functions (strcasecmp, strncasecmp, snprintf).
18
19"libfirestring also includes functions for dealing with
20reading configuration files in an easy to program fashion."
21
22This library uses long long, which is part of the C99 standard
23(previously a GNU extension). Your compiler needs to support
24this in order for FireString to work.
