C library for geometry input/output
===========================================
gmio is a reusable C library providing complete I/O support for various CAD file
formats(eg. [STL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_%28file_format%29))
gmio aims to be [fast](https://github.com/fougue/gmio/wiki/v0.4-Benchmarks),
portable(C99 conformance) and feature-rich.
Main highlights:
* [x] "Abstract" streams that does not tie the user to C stream(`FILE*`)
* [x] Buffering of input/ouput for efficient device usage
* [x] Operations can be easily aborted
* [x] Progress report about the I/O operation
Supported formats | Read | Write

Building gmio
=============
gmio can be built with CMake, by default a static library is generated.
Read the [Build instructions](https://github.com/fougue/gmio/wiki/v0.4-Build-instructions)
Documentation
=============
The HTML reference manual generated by Doxygen is [here](http://www.fougue.pro/docs/gmio/0.4)
There is also a [wiki](https://github.com/fougue/gmio/wiki)
