pgnlib is a C++ library providing a set of classes to handle file of
chess games, written according to
Portable Game Notation
The basic idea of pgnlib is to incapsulate each single pgn
concept (tag, move, comment and more) into his own c++ class,
to provide programmers with primitive pgn types.
gnu/linux is now both the development and target platform for pgnlib. Anyway I used so far only standard c++, so it should be not too difficult to port it on other platforms.
You should hardly be interested in pgnlib if you are not a c++ programmer.
So if you are a linux user looking for a free chess database program you are
definitely in the wrong place, but don't panic ;-)
If this is the case I strongly recommend you to check out the
SCID project, an outstanding
free chess database.
I wrote pgnlib mainly to help myself programming simple tools to manage my own
game collection.
It paid off, even if pgnlib is still too incomplete and inefficient to consider it for serious programming,
things are improving albeit rather slowly.
pgnlib is free software and distribuited under the terms of GPL License
I did not write any documentation on pgnlib so far except for a brief
tutorial showing basic usage of
pgnlib to allow you to get started.
