This library is a reimplementation of libdjb, which means that it provides daniel bernstein's interfaces (with some extensions).

it contains wrappers around memory allocation, buffered i/o, routines for formatting and scanning, a full dns resolver, several socket routines, wrappers for socket functions, mkfifo, opendir, wait, and an abstraction around errno. it also includes wrappers for unix signal functions and a layer of mmap and sendfile.

this package contains the shared library linked against glibc. the library is also available for use with the diet libc (see libowfat-dietlibc-dev).
