ASSA library
Copyright (C) 1997-2005 Vladislav Grinchenko
ASSA is a general-purpose object-oriented collection of wrappers around various UNIX C library functions and data structures designed to help with the development of network-based client- and server-side applications.
The library consists of a simplistic implementation of the set of communication patterns such as Service Configurator, Reactor, Acceptor, Connector, and others described in various papers published by Dr. D. C. Schmidt.
The full description can be found in "Patter Languages of Program Design", Vol. 2 and 3 (Software Patterns Series), Addison Wesley, or on-line at <http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html>.

- USAGE
-
- Read Programmer's Manual for libassa first (main web site)
- 'assa-genesis' creates sceleton file(s); useful to start writing new code. See 'assa-genesis --help' for details.
- 'pkg-config assa-3.4 --cflags --libs' returns compiler options necessary to compile the code. See 'assa-config --help' for details.
