# UDPConnection
Provides a network connection over UDP, with verification of packet support via
libsodium (optional). Implemented in C++ (up to C++11 standard), but is
available via a C api, which should facilitate creating bindings for other
programming languages if needed.
~~This library is still a work in progress, so api breaking changes may happen
in the future.~~
This library is usable. Try testing it out using the `NetworkTest` binary which
is built when Debug builds are enabled (the default) with CMake.
$ ./NetworkTest
[-c | -s] - client or server (default server)
-ll <addr> - listen addr
-lp <port> - listen port
-cl <addr> - connection addr (client only)
-clh <hostname> - connection hostname (client only)
-cp <port> - connection port (client only)
-t <tick_count>
-n - do not add payload to packets
-l (silent|error|warning|info|verbose|debug) - log level, default debug
-e - enable receiving events
-ls - enable libsodium
-ck <pubkey_file> - add pubkey to whitelist
-sk <pubkey> <seckey> - start with pub/sec key pair
-p <"fallback" or "strict"> - set auth policy
--hostname <hostname> - dont run test, just lookup hostname
A typical test can be done with the following parameters:
Server:
./NetworkTest -s -ll ::1 -lp 9000 -t 50 -e
Client:
./NetworkTest -c -ll ::1 -lp 9001 -cl ::1 -cp 9000 -t 40 -e
`NetworkTest` gracefully shuts down on SIGINT (Ctrl-C).
The source of `NetworkTest` can be found in `src/test/UDPC_NetworkTest.c`.
## Documentation
[See the gh-pages generated Doxygen documentation here.](https://stephen-seo.github.io/UDPConnection/)
## Compiling
### Release builds
mkdir buildRelease
cd buildRelease
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=True ..
make
make DESTDIR=install_destination install
### Debug builds
mkdir buildDebug
cd buildDebug
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
make
## Usage
The program in `src/test/UDPC_NetworkTest.c` is used for testing UDPConnection
and is also an example of using the library in a C program.
## Debug Builds
NetworkTest only builds when CMAKE\_BUILD\_TYPE is Debug (default).
UnitTest only builds in Debug mode and if GTest (a unit testing framework) is
available.
