<h1> The <tt>s6net</tt> library interface </h1>

<h2> General information </h2>

<p>
 <tt>libs6net</tt> is a collection of networking-related utility
C interfaces, used in the s6-networking executables.
</p>

<h2> Compiling </h2>

<ul>
 <li> Make sure the s6-networking headers, as well as the skalibs headers,
are visible in your header search path. </li>
 <li> Use <tt>#include &lt;s6-networking/s6net.h&gt;</tt> </li>
</ul>

<h2> Linking </h2>

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

<h2> Programming </h2>

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

<ul>
 <li> The <a href="ident.html">s6-networking/ident.h</a> header provides
a small IDENT client (RFC 1413). </li>
</ul>
