- !Netlib - The Network C Programmers Interface
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- !Netlib provides a BSD 4.3 function call library for
- programmers to use in Internet:o.netlib.
-
- Standard C network headers are provided and should be
- included as usual within your programs. The headers
- are actually those from BSD 4.4 with some structs
- regressed to be BSD 4.3 compatible.
-
- If you have any corrections or additions to Netlib then
- please send them to me (amell@cup.cam.ac.uk) for
- inclusion in the next version. If everyone does this then
- the library will be continuously improved and hopefully
- duplicity can be avoided when writing future network
- applications.

-
- I've added the module version and corrected some of the
- header files too and called this version 2.

-
- I've made an alteration to the application versions of
- the object files to prevent errno corruptions when using
- callbacks.

- ----
-
- I've added arpa/nameser.h in order to provide constants and buffer defns
- for nameserver access. I've corrected netinet/tcp.h to fix a wrong
- macro definition.
-
- Also, there are more versions built now.
-
- NetLib:o.NetLib Standard version for applications
- NetLib:o.NetLibH as above, but without gethostbyname/addr SWI veneer
- NetLib:o.OnlySock as above, but without gethostbyname/addr code
-
- NetLib:o.NetLibzM Standard version for relocatable modules
- NetLib:o.NetLibHzM as above, but without gethostbyname/addr SWI veneer
- NetLib:o.OnlySockzM as above, but without gethostbyname/addr code
-
- If you are linking with my dnsquery library, then you should link your
- application with the appropriate OnlySock version, not the full thing.
