I suppose I am going to write a packet library for newLISP, then. As I need to be able to construct packets of arbitrary timeouts and with arbitrary header and payloads.
Has anyone written a libnet newLISP wrapper yet? If so, I would love to play with it.
The C socket API, on which the newLISP net-xxx API is based, does not offer to set a timeout fosocket connection call. On UNIX this timeout is a kernel setting. On Mac OS X and other BSDs, you could use the sysctl shell utility to change this setting, and you could do that from inside newLISP using (exec "sysctl ...") with the appropiate ... specification.Quote from: "Lutz"
