### About

This package provides [R](https://www.r-project.org) with access to

[Asio](https://think-async.com/Asio/) header files.  [Asio](https://think-async.com/Asio/) 

provides a cross-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O

programming. It is also included in [Boost](https://www.boost.org/) -- but

requires linking when used as part of [Boost](https://www.boost.org/). This

standalone version of [Asio](https://think-async.com/Asio/) is a header-only C++ library

which can be used without linking (just like our [BH](http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/bh.html)

package with parts of [Boost](https://www.boost.org/)).

By providing the [Asio](https://think-async.com/Asio/) library in this package, we

offer a more efficient distribution system for [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org) 

as replication of this code in the sources of other packages is avoided.

To use it, simply add it to the `LinkingTo:` field in the `DESCRIPTION` field of your R

package---and the R package infrastructure tools will then know how to set

include flags correctly on all architectures supported by R.

### Example

The [RcppAsioExample](https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rcppasioexample)

package provides a simple illustration and example of using this package. Use

it to both assert your compiler and setup are working correctly, and possibly

extend your work from.  Generally speaking, only a `LinkingTo: AsioHeaders`

should be needed, plus on Windows only a very simply [link instruction in

`src/Makevars.win`](https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rcppasioexample/blob/master/src/Makevars.win).

### See Also

See the [BH](http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/bh.html) package for related

(and also header-only) libraries from [Boost](https://www.boost.org/).

The [issue tracker](https://github.com/eddelbuettel/asioheaders/issues)

can be used for bug reports or feature requests.
