Is there a plain C socket library for Windows, but with a simpler API, which uses IOCP under the hood?
I have some legacy C code which I'd like to replace with IOCP, but I would also like to avoid writing the whole thing from scratch, managing buffers, threads, concurrency and all the baggage.
Ideally, it would expose a simpler API which would allow the user to attach a couple of callbacks and forget about it, ideally something like:
// call onAccept whenever a new client connects
callbacks = { .accept = onAccept };
start_listening(TCP, "192.168.0.1", 4200, callbacks);
// call onReceive/onSend when operation finishes
callbacks = { .recv = onReceive, .send = onSend, .close = onClose };
register_callbacks(new_socket, callbacks);
// begin async operation
receive_async(new_socket);
I've been able to find mostly C++ libraries, but C sources are mostly examples similar to MSDN, without an actual API.
