$ make debug

Minimal Usage

A client socket that sends to localhost on port 54321 using TCP.

simple_socket::Socket socket ("localhost", 54321, simple_socket::Socket::TCP);
int myInt = 42;
socket.Send (&myInt, sizeof (myInt));

A host socket that accepts TCP connections on port 54321.

simple_socket::Socket socket (54321, simple_socket::Socket::TCP);
int myInt = 0;
socket.Recv (&myInt, sizeof (myInt));
std::cout << "Received: " << myInt << std::endl; // "Received: 42"
