Welcome to the TSAR wiki!

Here we provide information about the "Tools Slightly Above the Runtime".

TSAR is a collection of MIT-licensed, platform-indepedent utilities written in C/C++.

The utilities were written with Windows, UNIX and IBM i (aka OS/400 or i5/OS) as target platforms but since they are mostly written in generic C/C++ you shouldn't be surprised if they run on other platforms as well.

TSAR provides functions and classes for:

• tracing
• character set conversion (for ASCII, EBCDIC and Unicode)
• SQL parsing
• Extended Dynamic SQL (high-performance access to DB2 for i databases)
• mutexes and semaphores
• threading
• message queues
• CLI argument parsing
• call stack snapshots
