Package: libcgic1 (1.05-6) [non-free]

C library for developing CGI applications (libc5 version)

Cgic is an ANSI-C library for the creation of CGI-based World Wide Web applications. Cgic provides the following:

  * Parses form data, correcting for defective and/or inconsistent
    browsers
  * Transparently accepts both GET and POST form data
  * Handles line breaks in form fields in a consistent manner
  * Provides string, integer, floating-point, and single- and
    multiple-choice functions to retrieve form data
  * Provides bounds checking for numeric fields
  * Loads CGI environment variables into C strings which are always
    non-null
  * Provides a way to capture CGI situations for replay in a debugging
    environment
  * Provides a somewhat safer form of the system() function

This package provides a shared library version of cgic for libc5.
