It provides a library of routines for use +in CGI programming, and unlike cgilib-0.5, this library handles the +"multipart/form-data" encoding required to use the FILE input control +type as defined in the HTML specification. + +NOTE: It should be aware that there were a few developer visible changes +made from Thomas Boutell's original distribution when integrating it +with the NetBSD packages environment. They are: + +1) Instead of being yet another source file which is used in building + the application, the package have been converted totally into a + library format. This library is linked using "-lcgic". +2) As a result of the first item, the developer no longer writes their + entry point under the function name of cgiMain(). Instead, the + user will provide their own main(), and will need to call cgiInit() + before any other cgic function is called. |
