%description
Flux is a survival-through-structure library, whose goal is to reduce the
complexity of C programming. To this end, it supplies high-level functions
for manipulating data and communication with specialized handles, masking
typically tedious programming tasks. Common instruction blocks are wrapped
in higher-level calls with intuitive names. In short: Do it once, do it
right, then forget about it.

Abstracting things this way involves speed compromises. In Flux, these
should be minimal, and sometimes, when superiour algorithms are easily
accessible, efficiency is actually gained.

Another important goal is bridging gaps between typical tasks - like
parsing, storage, retrieval, buffering and transfer, data structures - like
generic tree structures, generic network structures, XML and presentation
formats, and protocols - like FluxComm, Unix protocols and IRC. (Note: IRC
protocols are hairy and ill-defined. Unification and masking is particularly
useful here).
