Why?

I created these libraries because I didn't find a library for simple Sockets class (as Java) that was easy, clean and full C++ style. In addition, I'm a student looking for creative ideas so it seemed like an opportunity to train.

There're already libraries in C++ that allow you to use sockets in a structured way, but none of these have a simple syntax similar to the C++ Standard Library.

The initial structure starts from the davidsteinsland project, from which I fork.
So make good use of it and remember that's completely open source under the GPLv3 License.

Creating a Server Socket

net::serversocket* server = new net::serversocket(8002);
const int err = server->listen();

if (err != 0) {
    std::cerr << strerror(err) << '\n';
    exit(err);
}

while (true) {
    net::socket* client = server->accept();
    
    if (!client->valid()) {
        delete client;
        continue;
    }
    
    std::string message;
    client->read(&message);
    std::cout << "Message: " << message << std::endl;
}

Creating a Socket (TCP Client)

net::socket* client = new net::socket();

if (client->connect("127.0.0.1", 8002) == CONNECT_ERROR)
    std::cerr << "Problem with connection!\n";

client->sendln("Hello guys!");

std::cout << client->read() << std::endl;
