  BASICS stands for Basics Are Simple Idiot C Software.

  It is licensed under the FreeBSD license (aka 2-clause BSD license).

  It is a C software library that aims at providing the bare necessities when developing C software on constrained environments, for instance where no operating system is available.

  It reduces its dependencies to the bare minimum (at least, an ANSI C compiler) and provides a way to easily enable or disable features when not needed.

  The covered functional subset is well-documented and quite small so as to focus on code efficiency with regard to resources (CPU, memory). It also makes this library easy to use as a base for quick or tiny C project.

  Typical features are:

  - queues, lists, doubly ended queues, AVL, red black and splay trees - memory allocators and pools - fixed point mathematics - C ANSI exceptions - lightweight object oriented framework - design patterns C enabler

  It is clearly not meant to become a concurrent for projects like glib or such, as it has a different scope.
