Introduction

What is libcork-dev
libcork-dev is:
It falls roughly into the same category as glib or APR in the C world; the STL, POCO, or QtCore in the C++ world; or the standard libraries of any decent dynamic language.
So if libcork has all of these comparables, why a new library? Well, none of the C++ options are really applicable here.

You’ll hopefully see how this fits into an interesting niche of its own.
This package provides C header files for the libraries.
