libneo

libneo is an alternative standard library that wraps around libc. It comes with an entirely refactored API that is easier and safer to use than traditional POSIX. Key features include:

Sane(ish), standardized error handling
Minimal undefined behavior
Significantly less boilerplate
Memory safe(ish)
Runs on most POSIX compliant systems (tested on FreeBSD and Linux)
No Windows support

Usage

Please note that this project is still in its early development stage. APIs are subject to arbitrary change without prior notice.
