Version

1.0.0-pre-6

This is a C++ socket library designed to enable easy and fast development of socket related functionality.

Warning

Do not forget to call NL::init() in first place for the library initialization. This is only necessary in windows, but in the others OS will not do any harm.

Note

Since 1.0.0, NetLink Sockets C++ can be used in Windows XP (earlier versions require at least Windows Vista to be used in Windows OS)

All the components of NetLink Sockets are in NL namespace.

Download the latest version of the library at http://sourceforge.net/projects/netlinksockets/

Linking:

• Linux and OSX: no need to link anything.
• Windows: Link against WS2_32.lib (system lib) in Visual C++ or libws2_32.a in MingW.
