\doxysubsection{Detailed Description}
The Ecore Connection Library ( {\ttfamily Ecore\+\_\+\+Con} ) provides simple mechanisms for communications between programs using reliable sockets. It saves the programmer from having to worry about file descriptors and waiting for incoming connections.

There are two main objects in the {\ttfamily Ecore\+\_\+\+Con} library\+: the {\ttfamily Ecore\+\_\+\+Con\+\_\+\+Server} and the {\ttfamily Ecore\+\_\+\+Con\+\_\+\+Client}.

The {\ttfamily Ecore\+\_\+\+Con\+\_\+\+Server} represents a server that can be connected to. It is used regardless of whether the program is acting as a server or client itself.

To create a listening server call {\ttfamily \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Ecore__Con__Server__Group_gaf450c4039d5e61d4f7a58d7b67efc1e8}{ecore\+\_\+con\+\_\+server\+\_\+add()}}}, optionally using an E\+C\+O\+R\+E\+\_\+\+C\+O\+N\+\_\+\+U\+S\+E\+\_\+$\ast$ encryption type OR\textquotesingle{}ed with the type for encryption.

To connect to a server, call {\ttfamily \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Ecore__Con__Server__Group_gae3d7391f7da5e0f748d7b6804d010b2f}{ecore\+\_\+con\+\_\+server\+\_\+connect()}}}. Data can then be sent to the server using the {\ttfamily \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Ecore__Con__Server__Group_gadf16abc2d4fc16a8b65709eab2cd8337}{ecore\+\_\+con\+\_\+server\+\_\+send()}}}.

Functions are described in the following groupings\+: \begin{DoxyItemize}
