nf_netcat
Rust port of the sample code Implementing netcat with Network Framework, a quick and dirty hack, full of compiler warnings.
The project aims to demonstrate that it's achievable to create a networking program in Rust with Network Framework. In other words, to prove that we can access the framework through its Objective-C (particularly Blocks) interface.
This port supports UDP only and must be run on macOS.
Quick start
To run as a server (listening for an inbound connection), you supply the -l option and the port number to listen on:
cargo run -- -l 12345
To run as a client (making an outbound connection), you supply the IP and the port:
cargo run -- localhost 12345
