tpl: fast, easy serialization in C

Documentation for tpl is available in the doc/ directory or at:

http://troydhanson.github.io/tpl

You can build tpl as a library, like so:

./configure
make
make install

This installs libtpl.so and libtpl.a into a standard system library directory.
You can customize the install directory using configure’s “–prefix” option:

./configure --prefix=/some/directory

For other options accepted by configure, run “./configure --help”.

NON-LIBRARY OPTION

Alternatively, if you don’t want to muck around with libraries, you can simply
copy these two files into your own C project and build them with your program:

src/tpl.h
src/tpl.c

WINDOWS

You can build tpl as a DLL under Visual Studio 2008. Or you can use MinGW or
Cygwin.

SELF-TEST SUITE

The automated self-test can be run by doing:

cd tests
make

LICENSE

The BSD license applies to this software. The text is in the LICENSE file.

CREDITS

Many people have contributed to tpl, both bits of code and ideas. Rather than
listing them all here, at risk of omitting anyone- I just wish to say thank
you. Some particular features are noted with contributors’ names in the
ChangeLog.

Feel free to send me questions, comments or bug reports.
