OSSP al - Assembly Line
Version 0.9.3 (03-Oct-2005)
ABSTRACT
OSSP al defines an abstract data type of a data buffer that can
assemble, move and truncate chunks of data in a stream but avoids
actual copying. It was built to deal efficiently with communication
streams between software modules. It especially provides flexible
semantical data attribution through by-chunk labeling. It also
has convenient chunk traversal methods and optional OSSP ex based
exception handling.
