More Info

Radikant Socket is a lightweight, cross-platform C library that provides a simple and consistent API for TCP and UDP networking. It offers both synchronous and asynchronous interfaces, create clients and servers with minimal boilerplate. The library abstracts away platform-specific socket operations for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

The asynchronous API includes features such as automatic reconnect with exponential backoff, heartbeat support, and user-defined callbacks for connection, disconnection, and data events. Thread safety is maintained via internal mutexes, and the library handles low-level socket details like timeouts and safe sending, so users can focus on application logic rather than OS-specific networking quirks.

Example

int main() {
    rs_init();
    rs_socket_t *server = rs_socket_create(RS_TCP);
    if (rs_async_server_start(server, 12345, 
                          on_client_connect, 
                          on_client_data, 
                          on_client_disconnect, 
                          NULL) != RS_OK) {
        return 1;
    }
 
    rs_async_server_stop(server);
    rs_socket_close(server);
    rs_cleanup();
 
    return 0;
}

int main(void) {
    rs_init();
    rs_socket_t *client = rs_socket_create(RS_TCP);
    rs_async_config_t cfg = {
        .proto = RS_TCP,
        .host = SERVER_IP,
        .port = SERVER_PORT,
        .reconnect_initial_ms = 1000,
        .reconnect_max_ms = 5000,
        .heartbeat_interval_ms = 3000,
        .heartbeat_payload = "PING",
        .heartbeat_len = 4
    };
    rs_async_client_start(client, &cfg, 
        on_connect, on_data, on_disconnect, NULL);
    return 0;
}
