libaard_types.h

Overview

ibaard_types.h contains definitions of datatypes, constants and functions which should be present on UNIX systems. If they are not present they get defined.

Functions

strcasecmp() and strncasecmp()

int strcasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2);

int strncasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n);

strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() are usually not available under Windows. However, there is stricmp() and strnicmp() with the same syntax. Therefore we define strcasecmp() as stricmp() and strncasecmp() as strnicmp() for Win32.

pclose() and popen()

FILE *popen(const char *command, const char *type);

int pclose(FILE *stream);

Borland C defines _pclose() and _popen(). We just add defines for Borland C

Types

ibaard_types.h tries to include the standard int definitions of different platforms

struct addrinfo

struct addrinfo {
	int     ai_flags;
	int     ai_family;
	int     ai_socktype;
	int     ai_protocol;
	size_t  ai_addrlen;
	struct sockaddr *ai_addr;
	char   *ai_canonname;
	struct addrinfo *ai_next;
};

Borland C does not know about the addrinfo structure which is needed for using modern socket functions (like getaddrinfo)

uint32_t, uint16_t, socklen_t, pid_t

typedef unsigned __int32 uint32_t;

typedef unsigned __int16 uint16_t;

typedef uint32_t socklen_t;

typedef int pid_t;
