+Welcome to vppinfra a programming library of basic data structures.
+
+vec.c dynamic vectors
+bitmap.h dynamic bitmaps
+heap.c allocation heap of objects (sub-objects have variable size)
+pool.h allocation pool (like heap with size always 1)
+hash.c dynamic hash tables
+mheap.c memory allocator (a la dlmalloc)
+
+format.c extendable printf-like thing built on top of vectors
+std-formats.c formats for unix data structures, networking stuff, ...
+timer.c arrange for functions to be called at given times.
+
+
+Build, Test, Install, Use...
+----------------------------
+ If this package came from the distribution tar ball, skip to the
+ Build Section. If this was a gentoo ebuild, after emerge/ebuild,
+ skip to the Use Section; otherwise, start with Pre-Build.
+
+Pre-Build
+-----------
+ 1) svn checkout svn://teaktechnologies.com/fn/trunk/clib clib
+ 2) autoreconf [-v][-f][-i] # regenerate configuration files
+
+Build
+-----
+ 1) cd BUILD # which may be different than this SRC dir
+ 2) ${SRC}/configure [--host=CHOST]
+ 3) make
+
+Test
+----
+ If not cross-compiling (i.e. CBUILD == CHOST), use "make check" to
+ run the validation programs.
+
+Install
+-------
+ With the root effective user ID (i.e. su or sudo), run "make install".
+
+Use
+---
+ We need to reference man pages and theory of operation.
