Asyc / SocketSys

Modular C++17 Socket Wrapper that supports multiple operating systems.

SocketSys

Introduction

SocketSys is a modular C++17 socket wrapper, providing a SocketInterface class for interacting
with the Operating System's socket functionality.

This project is licensed under the MIT License.

Usage

#include <socketsys/socket.hpp>

using namespace socketsys;

int main() {
    Socket socket;
    socket.connect("127.0.0.1", 80);
    
    ServerSocket serverSocket;
    serverSocket.bind("0.0.0.0", 80);
}

Alternatively, you can manually specify a custom "provider" or operating system implementation

SocketInterface<WinSockProvider> socket;

The default Socket and ServerSocket classes are typedefs with a OS-Macro dependant provider specified.

Building

This project uses CMake to build. Cloning submodules is not required unless you desire testing and do not have GTest on your path.

$ git clone https://github.com/Asyc/SocketSys.git

It is recommended to use the CMake script to add this library to your project

add_subdirectory(socketsys)
target_link_libraries(<Project> <PUBLIC/PRIVATE> SocketSys)

Alternatively, you can build the static library manually.

Enter the directory and create a build folder, enter that as well. You can then build the project by using

$ cmake ../
$ cmake --build . --config release
