1# Wuffs Mirror (release/c)
2
3This repository mirrors a subset of the
4[Wuffs](https://github.com/google/wuffs) (Wrangling Untrusted File Formats
5Safely) repository.
6
7Wuffs is both a programming language (Wuffs-the-language) and a standard
8library (Wuffs-the-library) written in that language. The Wuffs toolchain
9converts from Wuffs-the-language to C and Wuffs-the-library is available as a
10single C file - a [header file
11library](https://github.com/nothings/stb/blob/master/docs/stb_howto.txt).
12
13People who just want to *use* Wuffs-the-library in its C form (instead of
14*modifying* its Wuffs form or otherwise needing Wuffs-the-language tools) only
15need that one C file.
16
17This repository's [`release/c`](./release/c) directory contains that C file (at
18various versions). It mirrors the `release/c` directory of the [original Wuffs
19repository](https://github.com/google/wuffs) (except for the "unsupported
20snapshot" version). By excluding everything else, this repository is much
21smaller and changes much less frequently.

24## Updates
25
26This repository's `release/c` directory is manually updated by the
27`script/sync.sh` shell script, which also logs to [`sync.txt`](./sync.txt).
