A simple facade library for network communication via a TCP socket, written in C.

TCP Connection Facade in C

This is a simple collections of methods that allows a user to establish a network with a remote machine via TCP. The program can operate in either server or client mode.

main.c showcases how the library can be used. Run it with:

Server mode

For running a server, you only need to specify which port number the socket should be bound to. The method is:

int connection = openSocketConnection(char port);
if (connection > -1) {
    printf("Success.\n");
}

Client mode

In order to connect to a remote socket, you need to specify the host and port by calling:

int connection = connectToSocket(char port, char host);
if (connection > -1) {
    printf("Success.\n");
}

Communication

char reply[] = "Hello, World!";
int success = write(connection, reply, sizeof(reply));
if (success > -1) {
    printf("Success.\n");
}
