# gz-util - About
This c++20 library contains multiple useful functions, most of them are focused on working with strings.
Please report bugs on the [github page](https://github.com/MatthiasQuintern/gz-cpp-util)!
## Features
- Extensive logger using variadic templates to log almost anything
- Some containers like a thread safe queue and a ringbuffer
- Regex that works with std::string_view
- Type conversion utility (from string to int/float/uint/bool)
- Settings manager which can store settings of different types and load/save them from/to a file
- Python script that generates an array of strings for your enumerations, so that you can get the name of an enum value
## Installation
### Arch Linux (ABS)
- Download PKGBUILD: `wget https://raw.github.com/MatthiasQuintern/gz-cpp-util/main/PKGBUILD`
- Build and install with the Arch Build System: `makepkg -si`
### Linux
- Make a clone of this repo: `git clone https://github.com/MatthiasQuintern/gz-cpp-util`
- Build and install: `cd src && make && make DESTDIR=/usr/local install`
### Windows
I do not delevop on windows, but you'll figure it out.
The library does not contain platform specific code and should compile with mvsc.
### Documentation
The documentation for this library can be generated using **doxygen**.
cd gz-cpp-util/src
make docs
firefox ../docs/html/index.html
Replace `firefox` with your web browser
## Usage
### Library
- Add `-lgzutil` to your linker flags
- Include the wanted header: `#include <gz-util/*dir*/*header.hpp*>`
- The name of the library is `gz-util` and not `gz-cpp-util` like the git repo!
### Enumeration-to-string script
- The gen_enum_str.py script will be installed to `/usr/(local)/bin/gz-enum-str`.
- Run `gz-enum-str -h` to list available options.
