others so apps can optionally compile/build with these sources to gain
additional functions.
-
-strtoofft.[ch]
-==============
+We provide them through a single header file for easy access for apps:
+"curlx.h"
curlx_strtoofft()
strtoll() (or equivalent) function exist on your platform. If curl_off_t
is only a 32 bit number on your platform, this macro uses strtol().
-timeval.[ch]
-============
-
- Provides a 'struct timeval' for platforms that don't have one already, and
- includes the proper include files for those that have one. Using this will
- make the output require the 'winmm' lib on Windows (unless WITHOUT_MM_LIB
- is defined at compile-time).
-
curlx_tvnow()
returns a struct timeval for the current time.
returns the difference between two timeval structs, in number of
milliseconds.
+
+ curlx_tvdiff_secs()
+
+ returns the same as curlx_tvdiff but with full usec resolution (as a
+ double)
+
+FUTURE
+======
+
+ Several functions will be removed from the public curl_ name space in a
+ future libcurl release. They will then only become available as curlx_
+ functions instead. To make the transition easier, we already today provide
+ these functions with the curlx_ prefix to allow sources to get built properly
+ with the new function names. The functions this concerns are:
+
+ curlx_getenv
+ curlx_strequal
+ curlx_strnequal
+ curlx_mvsnprintf
+ curlx_msnprintf
+ curlx_maprintf
+ curlx_mvaprintf
+ curlx_msprintf
+ curlx_mprintf
+ curlx_mfprintf
+ curlx_mvsprintf
+ curlx_mvprintf
+ curlx_mvfprintf
