Google has a library called libphonenumber[1] that does phone number parsing, namely for Android. Just a heads up. It's got ports in a half dozen languages, and the names and platforms are similar enough I mistook this title for a C port at first glance.

Hi, cosmile, Thank you for addressing this issue, though it's a little bit later to change the repository name, because I also use the "phone" as all the apis prefix. I am not native english speaker, I just think this library is for the mobile phone app development, so I name it as libphone.

The description lacks one thing. What it actually does...

Thanks for point out this, I can explain more details here: It's easy to write apps in C language to support both android and ios platform if using libphone. Write once, target both. There is a similar project xamarin but it use C# and it is IDE, libphone is just a library though with also some tools for platform resources generating and layout.
