+From libfirestring(3):
+
+"libfirestring is a string handling library that provides
+maximum length aware string handling functions to programs.
+Several functions provide saner interfaces than the standard
+libc functions. libfirestring also provides functions that
+are in most libc's but not provided for by POSIX, enabling
+programmers to write POSIX-compliant code while using such
+safe functions (strcasecmp, strncasecmp, snprintf).
+
+"libfirestring also includes functions for dealing with
+reading configuration files in an easy to program fashion."
