libtpl0 - 1.6.1-1.1 main

Tpl is a library for serializing C data. The data is stored in its
natural binary form. The API is small and tries to stay "out of the
way". Tpl can serialize many C data types, including structures.
.
Tpl makes a convenient file format. For example, suppose a program
needs to store a list of user names and ids. This can be expressed
using the format string "A(si)". If the program needs two such lists
(say, one for regular users and one for administrators) this could be
expressed as "A(si)A(si)". It is easy to read and write this kind of
structured data using tpl.
.
Tpl can also be used as an IPC message format. It handles byte order
issues and deframing individual messages off of a stream
automatically.
