Biolibc is a library of fast, memory-efficient, low-level functions for processing biological data.

Like libc, it consists of numerous disparate, general-purpose functions which could be used by a wide variety of applications.

These include functions for streaming common file formats such as SAM and VCF, string functions specific to bioinformatics, etc.

The code is organized following object-oriented design principals, but implemented in C to minimize overhead and keep the source code accessible to scientists who don't have time to master the complexities of C++.

Structures are treated as classes, with access functions or macros provided, so applications should not access data members directly. Since the C language cannot enforce this, it's up to application programmers to exercise self-discipline.

Set PREFIX to the prefix where you would like to install. Default is ../local.

Then simply run

make install
