| * EXAMPLES: a collection of simple examples how to use socat. | |
| * COPYING: what you and others are allowed to do with socat. | |
| * PORTING: instructions and tips if you want to try socat on a new platform. | |
| * BUGREPORTS: instructions what to do with problems and contributions. | |
| * SECURITY: tips if you want to use socat in a security relevant environment. | |
| * DEVELOPMENT: infos for programmers | |
| * VERSION: the version of the socat distribution, for inclusion during | |
| compilation | |
| * CHANGES: what happened since first public release | |
| * socat.1: man page of socat | |
| * socat.html: html version of man page | |
| * daemon.sh: example shell script for running socat as TCP relay daemon | |
| * ftp.sh: example shell based ftp client, using socat for transport | |
| * mail.sh: example shell based smtp client, for execution by socat | |
| * gatherinfo.sh: shell script for gathering info about platform and socat | |
| implementation | |
| * server.pem: a self signed test cerificate, for self test only | |
| The source code system: | |
| * configure: the autoconf generated configurator script | |
| * Makefile.in: the Makefile source input to configure | |
| * config.h.in: the config.h source input to configure | |
| * Config/config.<platform>.h: sample config.h for platform. | |
| * Config/Makefile.<platform>: sample Makefile for platform. | |
| Copy the appropriate files to ./config.h and ./Makefile if configure fails | |
| * socat.c: the main C source, including option parsing, general control, and | |
| the data shuffler | |
| * xio-*.c, xio-*.h: the source of the different address type implementations | |
| with all their modes and options | |
| * xio*.c, xio*.h: the source of the xio API and xio utilities | |
| * filan.c, filan.h: file descriptor analyzer function | |
| * dalan.c, dalan.h: data language, a most primitive subset of what should | |
| become a language for describing/generating all kinds of binary data. | |
| * error.c, error.h: the logging subsystem | |
| * sycls.c, sycls.h: explicit system call and C library trace functions | |
| * sslcls.c, sslcls.h: explicit openssl call trace functions | |
| * xioconfig.h: ensures some dependencies between configure WITH defines; to be | |
| included immediately after config.h | |
| * sysutils.c, sysutils.h: some more general system (socket, IP) related | |
| functions, e.g. converting socket addresses to human readable form | |
| * utils.c, utils.h: useful additions to C library; currently memdup, binary | |
| search, and setenv. | |
| * mytypes.h: some types and macros I miss in C89 | |
| * test.sh: an incomplete attempt to automate tests of socat | |
| * compat.h: ensure some features that might be missing on some platforms |
