Other C++ Utilities

The file util.C contains a number of utility routines for string and file manipulation 1 . This includes routines to strip blanks from a string, get the size of a file, get the base name of a file or the real name (follow a symbolic link), unbuffered reading and writing to a socket, etc. See util(3) for a description.


1. These routines should probably be encapsulated in a class or use a common prefix, but they are kept for now for
convenience and to remain compatible with existing software.
