What is `libgee.x86_64`

libgee is a collection library providing GObject-based interfaces and classes for commonly used data structures. * Traversable o Iterable + Collection - List * BidirList - Set * SortedSet o BidirSortedSet - MultiSet - Queue * Deque + Map - SortedMap * BidirSortedMap o Iterator + BidirIterator - BidirListIterator + ListIterator - BidirListIterator * MultiMap The ArrayList, ArrauQueue, ConcurrentLinkedList, ConcurrentSet, HashSet, HashMap, HashMultiSet, HashMultiMap, LinkedList, PriorityQueue, TreeSet, TreeMap, TreeMultiSet, and TreeMultiMap classes provide a reasonable sample implementation of those interfaces. In addition, a set of abstract classes are provided to ease the implementation of new collections. Around that, the API provide means to retrieve read-only views, efficient sort algorithms, simple, bi-directional or index-based mutable iterators depending on the collection type. Libgee is written in Vala and can be used like any GObject-based C library. It’s planned to provide bindings for further languages.
