1This is libio, the GNU C/C++ input/output library. 2 3By default, the library is configured to build the C++ iostream 4facility (in $libdir/libiostream.a). 5 6The library can be configured to build the C stdio facility 7that is part of a C run-time library. 8 9This library is distributed with libg++; see ../libg++/README 10for installation instructions, and where to send bug reports 11and questions. 12 13* Copyright restrictions 14 15The files in this directory are generally covered by the GNU Public 16License (which is in the file ../COPYING), but modified with the 17following: 18 19 As a special exception, if you link this library with files 20 compiled with a GNU compiler to produce an executable, this does not cause 21 the resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public License. 22 This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why 23 the executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License. 24 25A few source files and subroutines are covered by other (but 26less restrictive) copyright conditions. E.g. some code (such 27as iovfprintf.c) is based on software that was developed by the 28University of California, Berkeley, for the Berkeley Software 29Distribution (BSD-4.4), and bears their copyright; and one 30file (floatconv.c) is derived from ("free") code copyrighted AT&T. 31
