Boost is a set of free, peer-reviewed, C++ libraries. The emphasis is on portable libraries which work well with the ISO C++ Standard Library. This package provides all the Boost header files required at build-time to compile any package that requires Boost. Binary libraries are provided in the boost-libs and py-boost packages.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
