A few simple examples

These examples are very, very simple and are meant to give you a feel for using Bstrlib. The examples provided on the SourceForge website are quite advanced string handling examples. They are extremely useful and well worth studying.

Our first bstrlib example will be the Hello, world! program, as follows:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "bstrlib.h"
int main( void ) {
bstring b = bfromcstr ("Hello, World!");
puts( (char*)b->data );
}

This program, bstr_hello.c, creates bstring from a C string and then prints it using puts(). To compile this program, be sure that the bstrlib.h and bstrlib.c files are in the same directory as this program. Then, enter the following command:

cc bstrlib.c bstr_hello.c -o bstr_hello -Wall -Werror -std=c18.

In our next example, we will split a string into multiple strings based on a delimiter and then print them. We can do this with the C standard library, but it is rather complicated...
