About:
Libjodycode is a shared library providing common functions and utilities reused across multiple command-line tools developed by Jody Bruchon. It centralizes code for tasks like file handling, string manipulation, and error reporting to ensure consistency and reduce duplication. This package is a dependency required to build and run those specific utilities.
Key Features:
  • Shared C library for code reuse
  • Consistent error handling and reporting
  • Optimized for performance and low-level operations
  • Supports utilities like 'jdupes' and 'wallpaper'
Use Cases:
  • Compiling Jody Bruchon's utilities from source
  • Providing a standardized backend for custom CLI tools
  • Ensuring consistent behavior across related file management scripts
Alternatives:
  • Custom static linking – Embeds code directly into binaries, increasing size and maintenance overhead compared to Libjodycode's shared approach.
  • GLib – A much larger, general-purpose library; Libjodycode is lightweight and tailored specifically for Bruchon's tools.
