Documentation:

    http://libexecstream/sourceforge.net/



Features:

    Works on Linux and Windows 

    Uses threads 

    Does not depend on any other non-standard library 

    Distributed as source code only, requires you to compile and link 

    one file into your program



Installaion:



Libexecstream is provided in source code form only. 

In order to use it, you need to compile and link one file, exec-stream.cpp, 

into your program. 



Header file exec-stream.h defines interface of the library and uses 

only standard C++. It does not include any platform-specific header files. 



On Linux, libexecstream was tested on Red Hat 9 with gcc compiler. 

Versions of gcc prior to 3.0 will not work. Make sure that exec-stream.h 

is found somewhere on the include path, compile exec-stream.cpp as usual, 

link your program with -lpthread. GCC must be configured with --enable-threads,

which is by default on most Linux distributions. 



On Windows, libexecstream was tested on XP and 95 flavors with VC++ 7 compiler.

VC++ 6 will not work. Make sure that exec-stream.h is found somewhere 

on the include path, compile exec-stream.cpp as usual, link you program 

with multi-threaded runtime. 



Example makefiles for Windows and Linux (used to build the testsute) 

are provided in the test subdirectory.
