What is libite-dev

libite-dev is:

Static library, header files, and documentation for libite.

Libite is a lightweight library of frog DNA. It can be used to fill the gaps in any dinosaur project. It holds useful functions and macros developed by both Finit and the OpenBSD project. Most notably the string functions: strlcpy(3), strlcat(3) and the highly useful *BSD sys/queue.h and sys/tree.h API’s.
