Description

This module provides OCaml ctypes bindings to system-specific low-level socket structure and data-types.

The interface is implemented using ocaml-ctypes and in intended to exposed the machine-specific, low-level details of the most important parts of socket implementations.

This package provides the part of the API that is specific to Unix systems.

sys-socket

This module provides OCaml ctypes bindings to system-specific low-level socket structure and data-types.

The interface is implemented using ocaml-ctypes and is intended to exposed the machine-specific, low-level details of the most important parts of socket implementations.

Sys_socket provides an API compatible for both Unix and Win32 systems, while Sys_socket_unix provides the API specific to Unix systems, mostly the sockaddr_u structure.

On POSIX systems, the following headers define the bound types and structures:

On windows systems, the following headers define the bound types and structures:

Its API mirrors as much as possible the original POSIX definitions, including integers representation (network bytes order, host byte order). It is defined in sys_socket.mli

A high-level wrapper for the OCaml Unix module is provided as well.

Happy hacking!

Build status

Results of building sys-socket-unix with each compiler on check.ci.ocaml.org, run of against opam-repository 7cdc698. All results for this package.

Each result links to its build log. To keep crawlers from overloading the site, build logs require a GitHub sign-in (see ocurrent/opam-health-check). On your first log, GitHub asks you to “Authorize opam-health-check”, the OCurrent app that runs these checks; it sees only your public profile, not your repositories. The sign-in lasts 30 days.
