New prometheus third party C client library

[Romain Le Godais]

Hi everyone!

(I'm not sure this is the good place, please tell me if I should post in prometheus-developers instead).

I work in a software company that develops applications exclusively in C language, and we recently have decided to start using Prometheus as a monitoring system. We first have experimented the concept using the C third party client library that is referenced on the client libraries documentation page, but it was not exactly fitting our needs and we have finally decided to develop our own.

My company develops and uses a general purpose C library (for linux only), called lib-common, that provides most of the basic tools a C programmer can expect (string manipulation, containers, memory allocators, asynchronous event loop, HTTP client/server, RPC communication channels, program argument parser, log files management, ...), and it is now an open-source project. So we naturally have decided to add our prometheus client in it :-).

Here are some links to the project:

• the github project: https://github.com/Intersec/lib-common#lib-common
• the header of the prometheus-client part of the library: https://github.com/Intersec/lib-common/blob/master/src/prometheus-client.h
• the documentation of the prometheus client: https://intersec.github.io/lib-common/lib-common/base/prometheus-client.html
• the source code of an example program using the prometheus client : https://github.com/Intersec/lib-common/blob/master/examples/ex-prometheus-client.c
  

If you think it could useful to the community, we would love to be referenced as an unofficial third-party client library on the dedicated page.
And if not, depending on what's missing we could maybe fill the gap, just tell me.

Have a nice day,
Romain Le Godais.
