# ConnMan

This is a C library, for developing multithreaded networking applications.

It is essentially an abstraction layer over the POSIX sockets library, providing a handler-callback based network agnostic API.

It allows you to change the underlying protocol layers (tcp to udp or ipv4 to ipv6) without any change in application logic.

Additionally, it provides a stream interface to work with tcp sockets, along with ssl and compression support.

## Setup instructions

**Install dependencies :**

 * [Cutlery](https://github.com/RohanVDvivedi/Cutlery)

 * [BoomPar](https://github.com/RohanVDvivedi/BoomPar)

 * [openssl](https://github.com/openssl/openssl)  ($ sudo apt install libssl-dev)

 * [zlib](https://github.com/madler/zlib)      ($ sudo apt install zlib1g-dev)

**Download source code :**

 * `git clone https://github.com/RohanVDvivedi/ConnMan.git`

**Build from source :**

 * `cd ConnMan`

 * `make clean all`

**Install from the build :**

 * `sudo make install`

 * ***Once you have installed from source, you may discard the build by*** `make clean`

## Using The library

 * add `-lconnman -lboompar -lpthread -lcutlery -lssl -lcrypto -lz` linker flag, while compiling your application

 * do not forget to include appropriate public api headers as and when needed. this includes

   * `#include`

   * `#include`

   * `#include`

   * `#include`

   * `#include`

      Additionally the library also provides the following stream apis, to create appropriate streams as per use.

   * `#include`

   * `#include`

   * `#include`

   * `#include`

   * `#include`

   * `#include`

   * `#include`

      Below is the list of headers that contain utility functions that can be used with the created streams.

   * `#include`

      Below header container allows you to manage multiple streams each chained with an underlying stream managed as a stack.

   * `#include`

## Instructions for uninstalling library

**Uninstall :**

 * `cd ConnMan`

 * `sudo make uninstall`

## Third party acknowledgements

 * *gzip and deflate compression streams, internally supported by [zlib](https://github.com/madler/zlib) checkout their website [here](https://zlib.net/).*

 * *SSL and TLS encryption for ssl-ed streams, internally supported by [openssl](https://github.com/openssl/openssl) checkout their website [here](https://www.openssl.org/).*
