Socket Programming

There are many sources of socket programming information on the Internet. Some of these are listed below:

Other Networking Libraries

There are many other networking libraries available for DJGPP. Below are few of these:
  • A version of Dan Hedlund's WSOCK library was used as the base for this library. It is a C++ library and is worth a look.

  • WAT/TCP for DJGPP, a port of the Waterloo TCP/IP library to DJGPP - This is primarily for DOS, but I think it will work under Windows (not NT though!). It uses packet drivers to interface with the network card. These can be obtained from Crynwr at http://www.crynwr.com/.

  • Phil Karn (KA9Q) has a TCP/IP library for DJGPP. This works with DOS. I don't know much more about it.

  • George Foot has a networking library called libnet, which tries to abstract networking, so that programs don't have to know about the protocols being used.

Miscellaneous Networking Information

  • Alfons Hoogervorst has compiled some information about finding out various IP details under Windows into ipdata.txt. While writing parts of libsocket, I used information from this. You may need his registry library for DOS programs running under Windows, regdos.

    Note: This used to be distributed with libsocket, but was removed to save space as it's not relevant for nearly *all* users of libsocket.

  • I've written a brief guide to WSOCK.VXD's services, the WSOCK.VXD Pseudo-Documentation. This is quite technical and will probably only be useful if you are trying to understand the libsocket sources or write your own library.
