Fossil Network by Fossil Logic

Fossil Network is a lightweight, cross-platform sockets library written in pure C with zero external dependencies. Focused on efficient socket management, it enables high-performance applications and embedded systems to communicate over TCP, UDP, and multicast. With abstractions for non-blocking I/O and event-driven networking, Fossil Network simplifies building reliable, socket-based software while maintaining a minimal footprint.

• Multi-Protocol Support
  TCP, UDP, and multicast connections for versatile networking needs.

• Non-Blocking & Event-Driven I/O
  Supports timeouts, event callbacks, and efficient handling of multiple connections.

• Lightweight and Efficient
  Optimized for minimal resource usage in embedded or resource-constrained environments.

• Modular Design
  Easily integrated into existing projects or extended for custom protocols.

Prerequisites

To get started, ensure you have the following installed:

• Meson Build System: If you don’t have Meson 1.8.0 or newer installed, follow the installation instructions on the official Meson website.
• Conan Package Manager: If you prefer using Conan, ensure it is installed by following the instructions on the official Conan website.

Adding Dependency

Adding via Meson Git Wrap

To add a git-wrap, place a .wrap file in subprojects with the Git repo URL and revision, then use dependency('fossil-network') in meson.build so Meson can fetch and build it automatically.

Integrate the Dependency:

Add the fossil-network.wrap file in your subprojects directory and include the following content:

[wrap-git]
url = https://github.com/fossillogic/fossil-network.git
revision = v0.1.0

[provide]
dependency_names = fossil-network

Note: For the best experience, always use the latest releases. Visit the releases page for the latest versions.

Build Configuration Options

Customize your build with the following Meson options: • Enable Tests To run the built-in test suite, configure Meson with:

meson setup builddir -Dwith_test=enabled
