* Add documentation for supplemental functions.Garrett D'Amore2018-03-22
| | | | | | This includes platform portability stuff like mutexes and threads, etc. While here we fixed a problem with nng_opts_parse and we addressed the type of the platform API.
* fixes #240 nngcat is MIAGarrett D'Amore2018-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is intended to provide compatibility with, and has been tested against, legacy nanocat. There are a few differences though. At this time support for the alias names (where argv[0] is set to something like nngreq or somesuch) is missing. By default this library operations without NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK on dial and listen, so that failures here are immediately diagnosable. (This behavior can be changed with the --async flag.) By default --pair means PAIRv1, but you can specify --pair0 or --pair1 explicitly. (There is also a --compat mode, and in that mode --pair means PAIRv0. The --compat mode also turns on NNG_FLAG_NONBLOCK by default.) The "quoted" mode also quotes tabs. (Legacy nanocat did not.) It is possible to connect to *multiple* peers by using the --dial or --listen (or similar) options multiple times. Shorthands can be used for long options that are not ambiguous. For example, --surv can be used to mean surveyor, but --re is invalid because it can mean req, rep, or respondent. We assume you have a reasonable standard C environment. This won't work in embedded environments without support for FILE *. TLS options are missing but to be added soon. A man page is still to be written.
* Add nng_opts_parse() API for handling command line options.Garrett D'Amore2018-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | We have implemented this alternative to getopt() so that we can create nngcat. The reason we did not just use getopt() is that getopt() does not understand long options (which nanocat uses, and we want to preserve for compatibility) and getopt() is not available on Windows (and possibly other non-POSIX platforms.) This function handles long and short options, but does not have support for option clustering. It also is threadsafe & reentrant, unlike getopt.
* CMake & CPack improvements.Garrett D'Amore2018-02-21
| | | | | | | | | These are incremental updates... we avoid using install() in the subdirectories, so that we can adapt properly to them in the single parent directory. We have started some of the work to improve support for CPack. This is still not yet done, but work in progress.
* Introduce 'porting layer' Public API.Garrett D'Amore2018-02-20
This introduces portable primitives for time, random numbers, synchronization primitives, and threading. These are somewhat primitive (least common denominiators), but they can help with writing portable applications, especially our own demo apps.
