    Git

    The development of libre is happening at Github 
    $ git clone https://github.com/creytiv/re.git

    Building and installation

    To build libre we are using GNU Make. External dependencies are automatically detected by the makefile. 
    $ cd re
$ make
$ sudo make install

    Examples and Demonstration

    A separate redemo package is available in download directory.

    Here you will find examples on how to use the libre toolkit, including demonstations on how to create a basic UDP and TCP server with less than 100 and 200 lines of C-code respectively. Additionally you will find a basic SIP user-agent example. All the demo programs are built by simply typing make from the redemo directory.

    Design Goals

  • Portable POSIX source code (ANSI C89 and ISO C99 standard)
  • Intelligent and user friendly APIs
  • Robust, fast, low memory footprint
  • RFC compliance
  • IPv4 and IPv6 support

    • Documentation

    Doxygen API documentation can be found here.
