/**	@mainpage	The dktools project.

The dktools project consists of a set of libraries and some applications
using these libraries. The doxygen documentation only covers the libraries,
the programs have a separate documentation.

The libraries address the following problem fields:

- Internationalization:<br>
  Some computer systems use 8 bit characters and UTF-8 encoding for
  internationalized programs. Other systems use 16 bit characters
  and UTF-16 encoding.<br>
  The dkChar data type is defined to char for Linux/UNIX systems and
  to wchar_t on Windows systems.<br>
  Functions for conversion between different character sizes and
  encondings are available.
- Resource file and configuration file search:<br>
  Functions to search for resource file depending on
  application name, application group name, users language and users region.
- Logging:<br>
  Write error messages to log file, stderr. Keep log file on errors,
  delete it after successful operation.<br>
  The functions below use the log mechanism.
- Sorted storage and searching:<br>
  Save pointers to arbitrary objects in a storage, just provide an
  evaluation or comparison function for sorting. Use iterators to traverse
  the storage.
- Networking:<br>
  Use BSD sockets or Winsock sockets for network access with IPv4 and IPv6.
  An IPv4-only module for backward compatibility is available too.
- Mathematical operations with error checking:<br>
  Operations on different integer types, output to string, output to file,
  conversion from double to integer.
- Bit fields, bit matrices:<br>
  Bit matrices can be used to find indirect predecessor-successor
  relationships.
- Streams:<br>
  Write data to or read data from generic streams using a unified API.
  Implementations are available for files, gzip- and bzip2-compressed files.
- Encoding:<br>
  Encode binary data using ASCII85 or reverse ASCII85 encoding and
  decode data. Dealing with ANSI encoding.
- String functions:<br>
  String functions for 8, 16 and 32 bit character strings.
- Key/value pairs:<br>
  Split strings into key/value pairs.
- System functions:<br>
  Enable/disable keyboard echo. Traverse directories (list all files and
  subdirectories). Signal handling. Number of cores, number of threads.
- Output filtering:<br>
  Write compressed chunks to output file, needed i.e. to create
  PDF files.
- Text conversion:<br>
  Conversion to HTML or LaTeX.
- Graphics operations:<br>
  Find bounding box for graphics elements. Calculations with X-splines
  and Bezier splines. Coordinates transformation.<br>
  Read and process fig files.<br>
  Deal with bitmap graphics files (read, analyze, resample bits per
  component).<br>
  Save bitmap graphics as PS/EPS/PDF.
- Checksums:<br>
  Create checksums for data chunks, encode them.
- Random:<br>
  Use different PRNGs, use strongest available one.
- Simple database APIs:<br>
  Access NDBM, Berkeley DB and in-memory databases.
- GUI programming using wxWidgets:<br>
  Enhanced base classes for frames and dialogues, helper classes for
  file search, internationalization and logging.
  Help controller to open a *.chm or *.htb file...

Application programmers who want to use the libraries should read
the doxygen-generated documentation for the *.h files, everything exported
by the modules is documented here.

The documentation for the *.c files also documents the internals.

The library modules have a leading "dk3" in the file name.
