NAME

       Bobcat - Overview of classes in the Bobcat library

DESCRIPTION

       The classes of the Bobcat library may be used after including bobcat/classname in sources.

       Generally, programs using the Bobcat library must be at least linked against the Bobcat library. Refer to
       section LINKING for more informatin about linking programs to required libraries.

       All  classes  and  other  elements  are  defined  in the FBB namespace. For some classes manipulators are
       available, which are defined in the FBB namespace. An overview of all manipulators  defined  in  the  FBB
       namespace is provided by man -e bobcat manipulators.

       Beyond  this  section  the  section  CATEGORIES  groups  classes  that somehow belong together in various
       categories.

LINKING

       To  link  programs  against  the  shared Bobcat library (e.g., libbobcat6.so) it is usually sufficient to
       merely specify -lbobcat. E.g.,

           g++ --std=c++2a main.cc -lbobcat

       Note: libraries that are indirectly required are no longer automatically linked  to  your  program.  With
       some classes (e.g., BigInt) the libcrypto library must also be specified, and programs using such classes
       must be linked against bobcat and crypto:

           g++ --std=c++2a main.cc -lbobcat -lcrypto

       Man-pages  of classes requiring additional libraries mention these additional libraries in their SYNOPSIS
       sections.

       When using static linking, the situation is slightly  more  problematic,  and  no  general  rule  can  be
       provided  here.  To create a statically linked program the flag -static must be provided, but in addition
       the -pthread flag must often be specified as well. If, when statically linking  your  program,  undefined
       references to pthread_... identifiers are reported, then that is a sure sign that you need to provide the
       -pthread flag as well.

       When  using  static  linking  additional libraries, not specified at the man-pages, may also be required.
       E.g., when using the Xpointer class and using static linking, the command becomes:

           g++  main.cc -static -pthread -lbobcat -lX11 -lxcb  -lXdmcp -lXau

       When encountering undefined references when using static linking missing libraries may  be  suggested  by
       the  linker  or by its error messages. Alternatively, the missing libraries may be found by searching the
       Internet.
