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.

std::istream objects.

FBB::Tty: Controls echoing of characters entered at the
terminal.
(Manpage: man -e bobcat tty)
FBB::User: Determines the current user's parameters from
/etc/passwd.

o DEPRECATED CLASSES Deprecated classes should no longer be used.
Their functionality is better provided by other classes. The
deprecated classes are no longer maintained.
FBB::AutoPtr: replacement: C++-11 std::shared_ptr and
unique_ptr.
FBB::Errno: replacement: FBB::Exception.
FBB::FnWrap: replacement: C++-11 lambda functions.
FBB::for_each: replacement: C++-11 lambda functions.
FBB::Msg: replacement: FBB::Mstream.
FBB::RefCount: replacement: C++-11 std::shared_ptr and
unique_ptr.
LINKING
To link programs against the shared Bobcat library (e.g.,
libbobcat3.so) it is usually sufficient to merely specify -lbobcat.
E.g.,
g++ --std=c++11 main.cc -lbobcat
Due to a change in library handling by the linker (cf.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnderstandingDSOLinkChange and
https://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking), implemented in 2013,
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++11 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.
