This is version 1.4 of libavl, a library in ANSI C for manipulation of balanced binary trees. Functions for use with three varieties of AVL tree and one type of red-black tree are included. There is full documentation, including an explanation of what AVL and red-black trees are and why you'd use them, in Texinfo, Info, HTML, and plain text formats. The library is divided into three parts, described in more detail below. You need only include the files for the types of trees that you are using. - avl.h, avl.c: Unthreaded AVL tree library. - avlt.h, avlt.c: Threaded AVL tree library. - avltr.h, avltr.c: Right-threaded AVL tree library. - rb.h, rb.c: Unthreaded red-black tree library. Each .c file in the library has a self-test routine built in, which can be invoked by compiling it with SELF_TEST set to 1. In addition, there is a separate program thread-test.c that tests the functions that convert among types of AVL trees. To automatically run these tests, type `make check' after you have configured the library with `configure'. For more information on how to configure and compile libavl, see the file INSTALL included in this directory. libavl is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), which should be included in this directory in file COPYING.
