# posix-socket
This module provides OCaml ctypes bindings to system-specific low-level socket structure and data-types.
The interface is implemented using [ocaml-ctypes](https://github.com/ocamllabs/ocaml-ctypes) and is intended
to exposed the machine-specific, low-level details of the most important parts of socket implementations.
[Posix_socket](src/posix_socket.mli) provides an API compatible for both `Unix` and `Win32` systems.
On POSIX systems, the following headers define the bound types and structures:
* [sys/sock.h](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/sys/socket.h.html)
* [sys/un.h](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/sys/un.h.html)
* [netinet/in.h](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/netinet/in.h.html)
On windows systems, the following headers define the bound types and structures:
* [winsock.h](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winsock/)
* [ws2tcpip.h](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/ws2tcpip/)
Its API mirrors as much as possible the original POSIX definitions, including integers representation (network bytes order,
host byte order).
Happy hacking!
