What is LibNSFB?

LibNSFB is a framebuffer abstraction library, written in C. It is currently in development for use with NetSurf and is intended to be suitable for use in other projects too.

Different colour depths are supported and the library provides routines for tasks such as drawing onto the framebuffer and rectangle copy operations.

LibNSFB currently supports the following as framebuffer providers:
