kdb+ Core Libraries and Utilities

All the details related to this library can be found on the wiki:

• kdb-common Wiki Page

Quick Start

To use the functionality within this repository straight away:

1. Download the latest version, extract and cd into the root folder
2. Start kdb+ with boot.q:
   • Linux: q $(pwd)/boot.q
   • Windows: q %CD%\boot.q

This initialisation script will load the cargs and log libraries automatically during boot. Additional libraries can be loaded via the --load-libs command line argument, or once the process is booted with the .require.lib function.

See the boot.q wiki page for more information on this initialisation and the require.q wiki page for more information on loading libraries into the process.
