linc is a library that eases the task of writing networked servers & clients. It takes care of connection initiation and maintainance, and the details of various transports. It is used by the new ORBit to handle message transmission/receipt. Currently supported transports: IPv4 (tested) UNIX domain sockets (tested) IPv6 IrDA The connections can optionally be encrypted using OpenSSL. zlib support is planned for compression. Subclassing LINCConnection/LINCServer for handling specific protocols (such as IIOP in ORBit's case) is currently a bit icky and needs to be fixed. Please read the HACKING file for information on where to send bug-reports or patches. Please, see http://www.gnome.org/projects/ORBit2 for more information.
