Description
Portable C code can use selected GNU-only or BSD-only string helpers on systems that do not provide them natively.
This compatibility library is useful for developers maintaining software that expects functions such as strlcpy or getdelim. It does not add a user-facing program; it supplies replacement routines used at build time or runtime.
Use it when source code depends on those functions and portability matters. For new code, still review API behavior carefully because string handling mistakes can affect memory safety.
