Writing your own server/client
------------------------------
- include <protocol.h>, <string>
- instantiate a 'protocol'-class:
protocol *p = new protocol(char *host, int port, std::string username, std::string password, bool is_server, std::string type);
host + port = entropy broker
username + password = authentication against broker
is_server = false for client, true for server
type = name of server/client with any details added
- then to transmit data:
int message_transmit_entropy_data(unsigned char *bytes, int n_bytes);
bytes / n_bytes = where from, how many
returns 0 for ok, -1 for error
- to retrieve data:
int request_bytes(char *where_to, int n_bits, bool fail_on_no_bits);
where_to = where to place the data
n_bits = number of bits requested, broker may return less
fail_on_no_bits = if the broker does not have data and this
is set to true, then this method won't
keep trying
- when linking, add the following files:
error.cpp log.cpp kernel_prng_rw.cpp protocol.cpp utils.cpp
server_utils.cpp auth.cpp my_pty.cpp kernel_prng_io.cpp
also add the following libraries:
-lcrypto -lrt -lz -lutil -rdynamic
