Installation

Swift Package Manager

.Package(url: "https://github.com/czechboy0/Socks.git", majorVersion: 0, minor: 3)

🔧 Usage

The package provides two libraries: SocksCore and Socks.

• SocksCore is just a Swift wrapper of the Berkeley sockets API with minimal differences. It is meant to be an easy way to use the low level API without having to deal with Swift/C interop.
• Socks is a library providing common usecases built on top of SocksCore - a simple TCPClient, SynchronousTCPServer etc.

If you're building a HTTP server, you'll probably want to use the TCPClient, without having to worry about its implementation details. However, if you need the low-level sockets API, just import SocksCore and use that instead.

🎲 Examples

There are many working examples in this package which build as separate binaries.

• TCP client using SocksCore (SocksCoreExampleTCPClient)
• TCP server using SocksCore (SocksCoreExampleTCPServer)
• TCP client using Socks (SocksExampleTCPClient)
• TCP server using Socks (SocksExampleTCPServer)
• UDP client using Socks (SocksExampleUDPClient)
• UDP server using Socks (SocksExampleUDPServer)
