socket.cpp

Simple socket programming library in C++, that facilitates using sockets in c++ as it provides an easy interface for socket programming functions.

How to use

socket.cpp library tends to provide an interface of sockets functions similar to JavaScript's socket.io framework. Here is a few example of library usage:

TCP Server

// create simple tcp server
int port = 4000;
tcp::server server(port);
server.OnMessage(PrintMessage);
server.Listen();

TCP Client

// create simple tcp client and connect to server
int     port    = 4000;
string  address = "127.0.0.1";

tcp::client client( address, port);
client.Connect();
client.Send("Hi");

cd ./socket.cpp/build
make

And the target library socket-cpp.so and binaries for examples can be found in dist directory under repositories home directory.
