C library for geometry input/output

C library for geometry input/output

gmio is a reusable C library providing complete I/O support for various CAD file formats(eg. STL)

gmio aims to be fast, portable(C99 conformance) and feature-rich.

Main highlights:

• "Abstract" streams that does not tie the user to C stream(FILE*)
• Buffering of input/ouput for efficient device usage
• Operations can be easily aborted
• Progress report about the I/O operation
