The recently imposed "must be logged in" restriction is a response to increased bot traffic on the site. This affects search, commits, and vuxml pages.
Search engines are not blocked. Try using "site:www.freshports.org" and your search terms.
After the ports freeze to fix some stuff, the freeze is over. I have some work to do before FreshPorts can start processing commits again before it can start processing again. I've created an issue for that.

Description:
scnlib is a modern C++ library for replacing scanf and std::istream. This library attempts to move us ever so much closer to replacing iostreams and C stdio altogether. It's faster than iostream (see Benchmarks), and type-safe, unlike scanf. Think {fmt} or C++20 std::format, but in the other direction. This library is the reference implementation of the ISO C++ standards proposal P1729 "Text Parsing".
