<h1> s6-networking </h1>
<h2> What is it ? </h2>
<p>
s6-networking is a suite of small networking utilities for Unix systems.
It includes command-line client and server management, TCP access
control, privilege escalation across UNIX domain sockets, IDENT
protocol management and clock synchronization.
Optionally, it also includes command-line TLS/SSL tools for
secure communications.
</p>
<p>
If the underlying
<a href="http://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/">skalibs</a> has been
compiled with IPv6 support, s6-networking is IPv6-ready.
</p>

<h2> Installation </h2>
<h3> Requirements </h3>
<ul>
<li> A POSIX-compliant system with a standard C development environment </li>
<li> GNU make, version 3.81 or later </li>
<li> <a href="http://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/">skalibs</a> version
2.5.0.0 or later. It's a build-time requirement. It's also a run-time
requirement if you link against the shared version of the skalibs
library. </li>
<li> <a href="http://skarnet.org/software/execline/">execline</a> version
2.3.0.0 or later. It's a build-time and run-time requirement. </li>
<li> <a href="http://skarnet.org/software/s6/">s6</a> version
2.5.0.0 or later. It's a build-time and run-time requirement. </li>
<li> <a href="http://skarnet.org/software/s6-dns/">s6-dns</a> version
2.2.0.0 or later. It's a build-time requirement. It's also a run-time
requirement if you link against the shared version of the s6-dns
libraries. </li>
<li> If you want to build the secure communication tools:
<ul>
<li> Either <a href="http://libressl.org/">LibreSSL</a> version 2.4.4
or later </li>
<li> Or <a href="http://bearssl.org/">BearSSL</a> version 0.2
or later. <strong>This is experimental.</strong> </li>
</ul> The chosen library is a build-time requirement, and also a
run-time requirement if you link against its shared version. </li>
</ul>
