ToaruOS System Libraries

These are the core system libraries of ToaruOS. Where functionality isn't expected in the C standard library, these provide additional features that are shared by multiple ToaruOS applications.

Provides password validation and login helper methods. Exists primarily because libc doesn't have these things and there are multiple places where logins are checked (login, glogin, sudo, gsudo...).

toaru_button

Renderer for button widgets. Not really a widget library at the moment.

toaru_confreader

Implements a basic INI parser for use with configuration files.
