Easysock is a single-file, easy-to-use socket library, that can be used for network programming in C. It has no dependencies other than the C standard library.

The library can be compiled using the provided Makefile.

make

There are a few optional targets, which enable specific functionality.

allwarn - enable all warnings
debug - compile with 'debug' flag
static - compile as statically linked library - NOT IMPLEMENTED

They can be used as follows:

make [TARGET NAME]

The library can also be installed using the provided Mekfile.

make install

The install target supports two environment variables. DESTDIR, which specifies the installation directory, and PREFIX which specifies the installation prefix. They are used as follows:

DESTDIR=/home/user PREFIX=/usr/local make install

This will install the library file in /home/user/usr/local/lib and the header file in /home/user/usr/local/include.

#include <easysock.h>
...
