lib64SDL_net-devel-1.2.7-3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm


SDL_net 1.2

The latest version of this library is available from:
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_net/

This is an example portable network library for use with SDL.
It is available under the GNU Library General Public License.
The API can be found in the file SDL_net.h
This library supports UNIX, Windows, MacOS Classic, MacOS X,
BeOS and QNX.

The demo program is a chat client and server.
The chat client requires the sample GUI library available at:
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/GUIlib/
The chat client connects to the server via TCP, registering itself.
The server sends back a list of connected clients, and keeps the
client updated with the status of other clients.
Every line of text from a client is sent via UDP to every other client.

Note that this isn't necessarily how you would want to write a chat
program, but it demonstrates how to use the basic features of the 
network library.

Enjoy!
