This is a Nasdaq OUCH 5.0 message parsing C library used to handle inbound and outbound OUCH messages.

This is the companion library to the C Totalview ITCH 5.0 library and created in the context of my larger Nasdaq HFT FPGA project.

Most of this code was automatically generated using a python script and an xml used to outline the message format. The python script and generated content can be found in the gen directory. xml format file can found in the doc directory.

To build the static library libouch.a :

make lib

To build a release and have it packaged in the release directory :

make release

To test the build:

make test
