A straightforward socket library for the J* language. This library is basically a direct wrapper of the C Berkeley socket API.
For now the library is only compatible with POSIX systems. A Win32 port should not be difficult since the Winsock API is basically the same as the Berkeley one.
The project uses cmake to compile and install the shared library and associated J* source file. Simply enter this into the command line:
mkdir build; cd build; cmake ../; make -j; sudo make install
The generated library and J* file will be installed by default in /usr/local/lib/jstar.
To use the library from the jstar command line interface you should add this path to an
environment variable called JSTARPATH, by editing your .profile, /etc/profile or .bashrc file and
adding this line:
export JSTARPATH=/usr/local/lib/jstar
Once you've done that, you can start using the library by simply importing it:
import socket
var s = socket.connect('google.it', 80)
