The Full-text Index Data structure library, libfid for short, is a portable software library for accessing indexed data through a simple C interface. It implements, among others, functions for reading indexed data from files, and for performing common operations such as fast string matching. Easy alphabet handling for mapping between printable and binary alphabets is integrated from the ground up. Currently, the enhanced suffix array is the only full-text index data structure supported. A very simplistic program for constructing enhanced suffix arrays is included.
