Title: fcl-net
| Old | New | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | + | **fcl-net** is a package of the FCL that provides networking services, including the former netdb - DNS resolving, for *nix systems. | |
| 2 | + | ||
| 3 | + | While this package is used (witnessed by a steady flow of bugreports), the progress is relatively slow, and the code a bit old. | |
| 4 | + | ||
| 5 | + | It would already help tremendously if knowledgable users would contribute a few decent demoes. (that could also be used to test certain functionality). | |
| 6 | + | ||
| 7 | + | Since many people had a problem with DNS resolving under *nix, a header translation roughly equivalent to POSIX libresolv functionality has been added in 2.4.4 for FreeBSD and Linux. | |
| 8 | + | ||
| 9 | + | ## Example Code | |
| 10 | + | ||
| 11 | + | Example code is available in */usr/local/share/fpcsrc/packages/fcl-net/examples*. | |
