Miami Software Development Kit
------------------------------
This archive contains all files required to develop application
software for Miami (and other compatible TCP/IP protocol stacks)
with SAS/C, for use with AmigaOS.
This developer kit supports the following APIs:
- bsdsocket.library (AmiTCP/IP-compatible, with some
extensions for multicasting, T/TCP, IPv6, new socket options
etc.).
- usergroup.library (AmiTCP/IP-compatible)
- miami.library: functions specifically for Miami (name
starting with Miami...()).
- miami.library: general network functions which are part
of the Posix.1g DNI/Socket standard, but not part of the
bsdsocket API (e.g. inet_pton/ntop(), getaddrinfo() etc.).
- miamibpf.library: BPF (Berkely Packet Filter) for use with
Miami.
- miamipcap.library: libpcap, a packet capture library for
use with Miami and miamibpf.library.
The developer kit is IPv6-ready, even though IPv6 is not
currently supported by any AmigaOS protocol stack. This means
if you use MiamiSDK now to develop your programs, and follow
all guidelines regarding protocol independence, then your
programs will automatically be IPv6-compatible once IPv6-
supporting TCP/IP stacks appear for AmigaOS.
