Expat, Release 1.95.1
Expat, Release 1.95.2
This is expat, the C library for parsing XML, written by James Clark. Expat
is a stream oriented XML parser. This means that you register handlers with
the parser prior to starting the parse. These handlers are called when
the parser discovers the associated structures in the document being parsed.
A start tag is an example of the kind of structures for which you may
register handlers.

beta software. Releases with even minor version numbers are intended to be
production grade software.

There are many options which you may provide to configure (which you can
discover by running configure with the --help option.) But the one of most
interest is the one that sets the installation directory. By default,
the configure script will set things up to install libexpat into
/usr/local/lib and expat.h into /usr/local/include. If, for example, you'd
prefer to install into /home/me/mystuff/lib and /home/me/mystuff/include,
you can tell configure about that with:
