Package dd.net Description

Provides support for client/server networking layer. This package contains the networking infrastructure for the clients and servers. The client-server interface is a general-puropses text-based request system. Clients connect to servers using well-known ports and send commands which are simply lines of text. Both the clients and servers use an action handler paradigm to determine how to handle a command. Given the name of the command (the first identifier on the input line) the client or server invokes a piece of code that is registered to deal with that command, much like an event handler listens for events in a graphical environment.
