cHTTP/src/socket.h

// This file (and its relative .c file) implements an asynchronous TCP/TLS
// server and client abstraction.
//
// It introduces the concept of a "socket manager", which is a pool of
// connection sockets and a listener socket. The listener is managed
// internally, which means the manager automatically accepts sockets
// from it and adds them to the pool.
//
// If the listener is configured using the function:
//
//   socket_manager_listen_tcp
//
// the resulting connections will not use TLS. If instead the listener
// is configured using:
//
//   socket_manager_listen_tls
//
// the listener will use TLS. Note that both functions can be used on
// the same manager to allow both plaintext and encrypted connections.
// Users may enable zero listeners, in which case only outgoing
// connections are allowed (more on this later).
//
// Once the manager is set up, one can wait for events by following
// this pattern:
//
//   struct pollfd polled[...];
//   int num_polled = socket_manager_register_events(sm, polled, max_polled);
//   poll(polled, num_polled, -1);
//
//   #define MAX_EVENTS ...
//   SocketEvent events[MAX_EVENTS];
//   int num_events = socket_manager_translate_events(sm, events, MAX_EVENTS, polled, num_polled);
//   for (int i = 0; i < num_events; i++) {
//     ... Here call socket_recv, socket_send, socket_close, ...
//   }
//
// Note that from the user's perspective, there is no difference
// between connections that use plain TCP and those that use TCP/TLS.
//
// Users can also establish outgoing connections by calling the
// function:
//
//   socket_connect
//
// Which allows the creation of a connection towards an host given
// its domain, IPv4, IPv6, or an array of them. This can be done both
// for TCP and TCP/TLS connection. Note that users that only intend
// to establish outgoing connection may omit the configuration of
// listeners entirely.
