%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).
