CSocket

Languages and Tools in Project

Basic information

---

A simple c++ socket library that makes it easier to use sockets on different platforms (Linux and Windows). To separate the work with sockets, two socket interfaces are made - the client and the server. This project was made to adapt the work with sockets on different platforms.

Interfaces

---

Client Socket

• int Configuration(int protocol) - this method is needed to configure the socket and prepare it for operation
• int Connect(const int port, const char* address) - this method is needed to connect to another user's socket
• int Send(const void* data, const int size) - This method is needed to send data over the selected protocol in the configuration
• int Receive(const void* data, const int size) - this method is needed to receive data sent by another user or server

Server Socket

• int Configuration(int protocol) - this method is needed to configure the socket and prepare it for operation
• int Bind(const int port, const char* address) - this method is needed to bind socket to port, and get data from all or from single address
• int Listen(int backlog) - This method is needed to allow socket to listen for connections
• IClientSocket* Accept() - this method is needed to connect permits an incoming connection request to the socket

Building

---

Building process has been tested using CMake 3.27 and g++ 4.9.2 And library can be build easily as follows:

git clone https://github.com/Claucdan/CSocket.git
cd ./CSocket/
cmake -S . ./cmake-build
cmake --build .

Using in CMake

---

You can use that library like fetch content in CMake.
