Libcutils provides a self-contained set of fundamental routines which are essential to basically any Unix utility or daemon application written in C. The library provides fundamental data structures such as lists, hash-maps, strings and parsing functions for JSON or the typical dot-file based configuration data. The following list summarizes the currently supported functionality: * length delimited instead of NULL terminated strings * memory management based on reference counting * several list processing functions like iterators and map-reduce * support of [Ideal Hash Tries](http://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/64398/files/idealhashtrees.pdf) for highly efficient hash map data structures * parsers for [JSON](http://json.org) data and the text configuration files found in Unix system * doubly linked circular lists for reliable event queues * support for test and debugging of memory management problems such as memory leaks

A hash table library that can store binary data. It is thread safe and you can use as many hash tables in your program as you wish because each has its own context. You can drop items from the hash table and can expire items that have become too old. String keys are default, but with your own comparison routine you can use binary or specialty keys.
