The s6net library interface

General information

libs6net is a collection of networking-related utility C interfaces, used in the s6-networking executables.

Compiling

• Make sure the s6-networking headers, as well as the skalibs headers, are visible in your header search path.
• Use #include <s6-networking/s6net.h>

Linking

• Make sure the s6-networking libraries, as well as the skalibs libraries, are visible in your library search path.
• Link against -ls6net, -lskarnet,
`cat $SYSDEPS/socket.lib` and `cat $SYSDEPS/tainnow.lib`, $SYSDEPS being your skalibs sysdeps directory.

Programming

The s6-networking/s6net.h header is actually a concatenation of other headers: the libs6net is separated into several modules, each of them with its own header.

• The s6-networking/accessrules.h header provides function to check credentials against configuration files.
• The s6-networking/ident.h header provides a small IDENT client (RFC 1413).
