Directory structure

libmalino

libmalino is the Go module that your OS imports, so you don't need 50 lines just to read a line from the user.

Include it in your Go file with import "github.com/malinoOS/malino/libmalino".

libmalino-cs

libmalino-cs is libmalino but for C#. It uses .NET 8.0 to compile, and is placed in /opt/malino/libmalino-cs.dll.

malino automatically "links" libmalino-cs with your project if you have your project configured to build for C#.

libmsb

MSB stands for "Malino Syscall Bridge". This is only used with C# projects, and it's used to allow C# to make Linux system calls, since for some reason it can't by default. And it uses clang to build since this is a syscall bridge and must be written in C.
