Welcome to the ATOBASE library.

This is an ANSI C99 utility library which supports functionality common to a number of
ATO AUTHENTICATION and Standard Business Reporting (SBR) C SDKs.

In particular, it contains functions to:
* read a common format configuration file
* read, write, and parse XML
* perform logging
* manage thread specific data

It contains both a public API and an API which should be considered "package private".

It directly uses the third-party libraries:
* libcurl3 (7.21.4) - http://www.libcurl.org
* libxml2 (2.7.7) - http://xmlsoft.org/
* libssl (0.98.1) - http://www.openssl.org
and their dependent libraries.

See licenses.zip for the various license files of third-party libraries.

Please refer to the API doxygen documentation for more details.

For building the source see atobase/_misc/README.txt.
