Networking Library
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
This library is inteded to provide support for networking with both
|
|
1) a simple binding around the BSD sockets interface, and
|
|
2) a higher-level set of predicates and functions for common patterns.
|
|
This is a work in progress, and many things are unimplemented.

|
|
|
+ Currently no method is provided to connect these sockets to the
|
|
standard libraries IO or stream modules.
|
|
+ sendmsg()/recvmsg().
|
|
+ Cross platform functionality (Only tested on Linux so far).
|
|
+ Non blocking support.
|
|
+ Improved name lookup / reverse lookup
|
|
+ Network layer:
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
+ Protocol layer:
|
|
|
|
+ UDP
|
|
+ SCTP
|
|
|
|
+ High level interface
