This library is for TCP sockets only at the moment. In future versions, UDP may be included. Functions exist for creating listening sockets, reading listening sockets, creating outbound connections, reading those connections, and writing to any socket.
In the "tests" directory, you will find 3 programs you may use as references. Also, in the "docs" directory is a small howto outlining the functions. The 3 test programs are explained in short in the howto. 1 and 2 do require some modification, so read the comments.
To the best of my knowledge, this compiles on:
Platform Version x86 alpha sparc Linux All yes yes yes NetBSD All yes yes ??
If you see that it compiles on any other platforms, mail me, miles@turboflux.net.
Right now I'm writing a package that uses this extensivly and it seems to be working very well, I have yet to have a major problem.. or even a minor one. Always a good thing :)
