miniexpect is a very simple expect-like library for C. It has a saner interface than libexpect, and doesn't depend on Tcl. It is also thread safe, const-correct and uses modern C standards. It is standalone, except that it requires the PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) library from http://www.pcre.org/. The PCRE dependency is fundamental because we want to offer the most powerful regular expression syntax to match on, but more importantly because PCRE has a convenient way to detect partial matches which made this library very simple to implement. License ------- The library was written by Richard W.M. Jones and is licensed under the Library GPL (LGPL) version 2 or above. Source is available from: http://git.annexia.org/?p=miniexpect.git;a=summary Using the library ----------------- If you wanted to copy the library into your own code (instead of linking to it as a dependency), you only need to copy the two files: miniexpect.h, miniexpect.c. The API is documented in the manual page (miniexpect.pod / miniexpect.3). For examples of how to use the API in reality, see the examples and tests in the source directory.
