Introduction

This library is a collection of common code used in various sub-projects inside the Osmocom family of projects. It includes a logging framework, select() loop abstraction, timers with callbacks, bit vectors, bit packing/unpacking, convolutional decoding, GSMTAP, a generic plugin interface, statistics counters, memory allocator, socket abstraction, message buffers, etc.

libosmocodec is developed as part of the Osmocom (Open Source Mobile Communications) project, a community-based, collaborative development project to create Free and Open Source implementations of mobile communications systems. For more information about Osmocom, please see https://osmocom.org/

Please note that C language projects inside Osmocom are typically single-threaded event-loop state machine designs. As such, routines in libosmocore are not thread-safe. If you must use them in a multi-threaded context, you have to add your own locking.
