Description Conrad Meyer 2014-04-13 13:54:10 UTC

Description:
A direct import from FreeBSD. Balanced binary trees are a useful data structure to have in C programs. sys/tree.h provides a nicer abstraction (type safety, find greater-than-or-equal-to, ...) than the binary tree routines in libc search.h. And BSD programs may depend on the API.

Hi Conrad,

Thanks for the contribution.  Unfortunately we already have a package that includes tree.h from FreeBSD as well as a few others: libbsd-devel [0]

Doesn't sound unfortunate to me.
