Description-en: lightweight convenience library to handle low level BSD sockets in C++ -devel
Socket++ library defines a family of C++ classes that can be used more
effectively than directly calling the underlying low-level system functions.
One distinct advantage of the socket++ is that it has the same interface as
that of the iostream so that the users can perform type-safe input output.
See your local IOStream library documentation for more information on
iostreams.
