End of support
This project was mainly developped between January 2000 and September 2004. Since September 2004, the development work slowed down.
This project is not actively maintained.
Presentation
Netwib is a network library providing :
- network features :
+ address conversion
+ udp/tcp clients/servers
+ packet encoding/decoding/displaying
+ spoofing
+ sniffing
+ etc.
- and general features :
+ data conversion
+ linked list, hash
+ portable threads
+ etc.
Using all these functions, a network program can be quickly created.
Netwib is available under the GNU GPL License.
This library has two main drawbacks:
- In order to provide new features, functions prototypes
may vary between versions. So, a program created with version 5.1.0
might not compile with version 5.5.0. To move around this problem, several
versions of netwib can be simultaneously installed on the same system.
- Netwib's features correspond to least common denominator of functions
available on systems. This ensures a program compiled under one system
will also compile on another. However, this design choice does not
permit advanced features.
So, netwib is not suitable for long term projects. It is for small
projects or quick hacks.
Several usage examples are available in
netwox.
Netwib is one piece of a
complex project
(read it to understand its structure).
