C++ Sockets

Hi there,

I was wondering if C++ has some kind of default new socket wrapper, that
avoids many lines of code. Maybe there is a good C++ library?

Any ideas? I'm using UNIX, but portability would be great.

Regards

No, it most certainly doesn't.
Maybe there is a good C++ library?
Try looking for a post (happens here once a month or so) from
Nikki Locke, titled "Available C++ Libraries FAQ". It has
a link to an online list of various libraries, communications
is probably one of the sections there.
Any ideas? I'm using UNIX, but portability would be great.


Maybe you should ask in a UNIX programming newsgroup?...

Standard C++, the topic of this newsgroup, knows not of sockets.
Therefore your question is decidedly off-topic.

I didn't see anything about a socket library in SDL...


here is a link to an SDL_net socket library function

Hello everyone, I have a vb.net application that wraps the TCPListener object in a class. The server connects to the local interface and establishes itself on port 9900. It then polls for pending connections every 500ms. I also have a vb6 application that uses the WinSock control at the other end of the communication tunel. I have to work with vb6 here because it uses less memory than .NET.

I am (attempting) to move an existing socket application to use raw sockets. Right now, my application is essentially a port forwarder. Upon receiving a connection, it will open a connection to an "internal" server and simply relay all information back and forth (when the client sends something, my app sends that to the server, when server sends something, my app sends that to the client). While what I have right DOES work, the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
