[Bigloo-lib-devel] announce: raw socket interface introduced

[Vladimir T. <wo...@je...>]

Hi,

I've just added the (EXPERIMENTAL AND INCOMPLETE!) common/socket.defs
to CVS. It has the followig bindings:

    (socket::int #!optional domain type protocol)
    (connect sockfd::int hostname::string port::int)
    (send sock::int data::bstring #!optional flags)
    (accept::int sockfd::int)
    (bind sockfd::int port::int)
    (recv::bstring sock::int n::int #!optional flags)
    (getsockopt sock::int which)
    (setsockopt sock::int . options)
    (listen fd::int #!optional n))
    (shutdown fd::int #!optional how)
    (dup::int fd::int)
    (fdopen::file fildes::int mode::string)

(The latest two bindings should eventually go to common/os.defs)

To switch the compilation of this module on, you should use
--with-socket option when executing the ./configure script.

Regards,
Vladimir Tsichevski
