Introduction

The avlmap-0.12.4 library implements a data mapping abstraction in function calls, along with an underlying AVL balanced binary search tree implementation.

Features

• Each mapping may have a key type chosen from a variety of scalar, string, and array types.
• Each mapping may have a mix of many data types from the same variety.
• Sequential access in addition to the usual indexed access, in both forward and reverse directions.
• Duplicate mappings are supported by means of a separate insert function.
• Optional direct access to the underlying AVL binary tree implementation.

Documentation

Programmer documentation in HTML begins here. The HTML documentation is also included in the source code tarball.

The main index page for version 0.12.4 is here.

Installation

1. Extract the source from the tarball using the appropriate command for which tarball was downloaded, such as one of these:
   • bunzip2 < avlmap-0.12.4.tar.bz2 | tar -xpf -
   • gunzip < avlmap-0.12.4.tar.gz | tar -xpf -
   This creates a subdirectory named avlmap-0.12.4.
2. [optional] Create a separate subdirectory to build the library in, and change to that directory.
3. Run the configure script to create the Makefile. If you are running it from within the optional separate build directory, type in the full path name of the configure script where you extracted the source. The Makefile will be created in the current directory.
   Example: /path/to/source/avlmap-0.12.4/configure --prefix=/path/to/install
4. Type in: make
5. Type in: make install

Note that older versions of AVLMAP used a different installation procedure and had a capitalized configure script name.
