Run autoreconf -i to generate a configure script.

There are also some useful demo applications, which shows examples how to use various stuff from cxxtools. They can be found in the demo directory.

Two command line tools are offered by cxxtools.

The tool siconvert allows converting between various formats.

A short introduction is printed when the tools is called without arguments. Data can be read from standard in and output is written to standard out. The tool can also be used to format files nicely.

The input format is typically passed as a small cap letter and the output format with a capital letter. The flag -d enables nicely formatted output (think of "display").

convert csv data to json:

cat "foo.csv" | siconvert -cJd

convert (cxxtools-)binary data to xml

cat "foo.bin" | siconvert -bXd

format a existing json file

cat "foo.json" | siconvert -jJd

The tool cxxtz is a command line tool to handle time zones. A short introduction is printed when the tools is called without arguments.

List all known time zones of the system:
