General

The MAPINFO lump describes meta-data associated with levels (such as their name, music, sky texture, par time, etc.).
Different Doom source ports have adopted different MAPINFO systems. UMAPINFO seeks to mitigate this problem by being a cross-port standard.

libdoom-umapinfo is a library to parse Doom UMAPINFO data.
See README for details.

A command line utility "doom-umpinfo" is built together with the library.
It can be used to feed raw UMAPINFO data into the library to check for syntax errors.

This library can be used on machines with big-endian byte order.

Authors

The library and CLI utility is written by Michael Bäuerle.
See LICENSE for licence information.

Dependencies

There are no runtime dependencies. The build requires:

• POSIX.1-1990 conformant operating system with C90 compiler
  The build system based on POSIX development utilities allows to build a static library on very old systems
  (tested on a decades old Linux system with Kernel 2.2.7, GCC 2.91.66 and GNU make 3.76.1)
  Read the INSTALL file in the source tree for details

or alternatively (for modern systems):

• Meson build system
  The Meson build system can build static and shared libraries.
  It should also support other operating systems like Windows.
  Meson and ninja require python as additional dependency.
  (muon and samurai can be used as replacement, C99 is sufficient in this case)
