    • read(void * buf, &n = 0); read n bytes (0=all remaining) from file and store into buf
    • vector<char> read(&n = 0); read n bytes (0=all remaining) from file and return it as vector
    • string_read(void * buf, &n = 0); read n bytes (0=all remaining) from file and store into a null-terminated buf
    • string string_read(&n = 0); read n bytes (0=all remaining) from file and return it as string
    • getline(char delim = '\n'); read a line ending with 'delim' from file and return it as string
    • filename(); return the filename
    • wfilename(); return the filename (windows only)
• <msl/macro.h>
  • MSL_FOR_LOOP(count); wrapper of for (auto i = 0; i < count; ++i)
  • MSL_FOR_LOOP_VAR(count, varname); like MSL_FOR_LOOP but with varname instead of i

  • MSL_TEST_ASSERT_WN(condition); it checks an unnamed test unit
• <msl/random.h>
  • msl::gen_random_number<T>(min = 0, max); it returns an instance to return random integral/real numbers between min and max
  • msl::random_int<T>(min=<T>::min_value, max=<T>::max_value); pick a random integral number between min and max (min max included)
  • msl::random_real<T>(min=<T>::min_value, max=<T>::max_value); pick a random floating point number between min and max (min max included)
