- | == Definition == | + | |
- | | + | |
- | Network.DLL is a [[DLL]] for internet/network communication between two [[Fenix]] | + | |
- | programs or a Fenix program and a different program. It handles quite a few | + | |
- | things on its own, so the user can focus on different things in his program. | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | == Features == | + | |
- | | + | |
- | * One command setup, another one for listening for connections (server) or one for opening a connection (client). | + | |
- | * Connection status monitor, informs Fenix of the status of the connections. | + | |
- | * Sending and receiving of all variables, graphs, files, whatever you want. | + | |
- | * Download/upload meter, for measuring of speeds and totals. | + | |
- | * Automatic message separation (separation string specifiable). | + | |
- | * Dynamic messagebuffer provides limitless sending and receiving. | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | == How to use == | + | |
- | | + | |
- | To be able to use it, you must include the Network.DLL functionality: | + | |
- | <pre>include "Network.fh";</pre> | + | |
- | First you initialize Network.DLL: | + | |
- | <pre>NET_Init(0,10,1);</pre> | + | |
- | From this point you can do whatever you like, for example connect to google on port 3435: | + | |
- | <pre>NetID=NET_Open("www.google.com",3435);</pre> | + | |
- | And send a message: | + | |
- | <pre>NET_Message(NetID,"Hello!");</pre> | + | |
- | Or listen for connections on port 4555: | + | |
- | <pre>NET_Listen(4555);</pre> | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | == Future == | + | |
- | | + | |
- | It probably will have UDP support as well, though at the moment only TCP is used. | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | == Known bugs == | + | |
- | | + | |
- | None. | + | |
