[Q] Any unix extension to standard C library for providing set collection operations?

[mr.hong]

Hi,

I am using freeBSD.
I know std:set can be used in C++ for set colleciton .

If I use only C for developing some applicaiton on freeBSD, is there
any unix extension to standard C library or alternative library for
'set'(i.e, uniqueness) operation?

BTW, what I mean by unix extension is something like 'insque' or
'remque' which is not a part of standard C lib functions.
thanks

You will need to ask somewhere that unix extensions are topical such as
comp.unix.programmer. Here we only deal with standard C.

Off topic. Not portable. Cant discuss it here. Blah, blah, blah.

You could probably get the source from the OpenBSD versions.
BTW, "I am searching for software 'X' is not really topical.

If you want to talk about programming techniques, probably
news:comp.programming is a better place than here.

It sounds to me like you just want a dictionary data structure. There
are lots of those available.
